Sonic: By blood a mix of Japanese, Egyptian, and American (United federation). He carries these cultural influences with him, like he can speak Japanese and Arabic fluently, but because of his nomadic lifestyle since he was young those influences are joined by every other culture he's spent time in. Dude is the polyglot of polyglots. When Tails was sick he would make gyoza soup or koshary from memory, and of course he likes to listen to a lot of music with african american influence and Japanese pop music.
Movie sonic specifically is raised by Longclaw who is Babylonian, so I see him as having a lot of Babylonian influence, though because he lived most of his life in Montana he is very American.
Tails: With the nine tailed fox references, I would have to say Japanese as well, though since he grew up adventuring with Sonic he's also very worldly. Him and Sonic have secret conversations in different languages constantly. Sometimes their conversations are only comprehensible to themselves.
Knuckles: Meso-American and Jamaican. He speaks languages lost to time. His culture is incredibly important to him, especially as the last of his kind. He's always cooking dishes his parents made and giving them to Sonic and Tails because "Those idiots don't take care of themselves. They need some nutrition!" He also invites them over for echidna holidays.
Amy: She doesn't have terribly strong cultural influences in her life. Her family is french so she has recipes and decor with the french flag in her home, but she doesn't think about it too often. There is some pride there when it comes to her witchcraft, but otherwise not much.
Rouge: Lenca Honduran. She was also quite nomadic growing up, though. She never had anywhere to call home when she was young. Always doing odd jobs wherever she could to afford a roof over her head until she started hitting big targets and settled down in the U.F where she was scouted by G.U.N. While a lot of Lenca tradition was lost , she does what she can for herself.
Shadow: Raised on the arc by Maria and Gerald, Shadow is very old timey. 50s era slang will still slip out to everyone's delight. Gerald was also born in 1890 so Shadow also grew up listening to a lot old records and classical music. He also picked up a bit of slang. He's an old man at heart despite being a teenager. While he loves a lot of modern Industrial metal he can be caught listening to the occasional Ella Fitsgerald on his own time.
Vector: African American. Vector embraces where he grew up whole heartedly, often listening to the same music and eating the same food his parents did. He's gotten all of his kids hooked on jazz and rap.
Espio: Japanese. Espio takes this to an extreme extent, having entirely decorated his room with japanese decor. He bonds with Sonic and Tails with stories about home.
Charmy: He's still just a little guy but with Espio, Vecor, and Vanilla, the little dude has an amalgam of culture, but he hasn't embraced it too much just yet.
Feel free to add on or let me know if I said anything wrong haha!
