Kid Cruel is a villainous monkey who once terrorised the Mobian town of Forest Hills. Employed by Doctor Robotnik, Kid Cruel forcibly kidnapped the children of the Zone, using them as organic batteries for his small army of Coconuts Badniks. He then forced the remaining inhabitants to hand over the plentiful gold that they mined. Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails and Porker Lewis arrived to defeat the enemy, but were slowed by Cruel adding bombs to their outer shells, with any impact instantly detonating the explosives. When Sonic outsmarted him, the monkey was aghast, unaware that anybody could move that fast. He was even more alarmed that he had already summoned Robotnik to a now-empty area, meaning he would face the full wrath of his boss.

Cruel is a stereotypical black gangster, accentuating all of their negative traits; his speech, gold tooth, big lips, "pimp stick", henchmen and his manner of dancing. Had he appeared today, Kid Cruel would surely be lambasted by media watchdogs.
