You are in charge of the complete rebooting of the Sonic franchise...

There would be no need to reboot the series. The only thing I would do is retcon Sonic Forces at worst and say Mania took place before Sonic 4.

Rouge and Cream aren't superfluous? What dick logic is that

Don't remove any characters in specific, in fact I'd say have plenty playable but they all play like Sonic. No mech bullshit, no treasure hunts, no vehicles or physics gimmicks, just going fast on stages with alternate paths specific characters can use. It's that easy.

Just re-make sonic the fighters

aesthetics are important, yeah, but actual "narrative" and "characters" don't mean shit

Of course they do. Especially in an ongoing series with a cartoony cast. Sonic 3 & Knuckles wouldn't be as fun without the cast.

in order to market the game they're important. that's about it

even then, no one is saying "oh, I would play the new sonic, but cream the rabbit isn't in it so it's not worth it :("

soulless

I don't remove anyone and just make good games.

Cosmo is a mainline character now?

There shouldn't be any redundant characters. Everyone should have their own style, personality, motivations, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Each character should have a unique relationship with Sonic and each other.
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Fang, Eggman, Metal Sonic, and Amy should be the cast.

Sonic
Tails but never make him playable, just make him Sonic's Ocelot-figure I guess
Amy as a Princess Peach-type figure
Rogue as a recurring boss/rival, also tits
Eggman
Metal Sonic
More robots in Eggman's army in general like E-123 Omega, they're always cool.

That's it. Have Tails and Knuckles' powers be unlockable for Sonic to use or something.

Take out Fang and replace Metal Sonic with Shadow.

fang is absolutely stays you faggot

None of them. Instead, I utilize them more effectively. I'd start by giving a lot of them extremely minor roles, as to not draw attention away from the main cast. Then, depending on whether a supporting character is gaining popularity or not, start fleshing them out and giving them more screen time.

pretending to care about fang/bean/bark or whatever their fuck their names is some of the most contrarian shit i've seen on Yea Forums in general.

>Rotor

everytime

The only ones I'd keep would be
>Sonic
>Tails
>Knuckles
>Amy
>Eggman
>Metal Sonic
>Mighty
>Ray
>Rouge
>Big
>Cream
>Espio
>Charmy
>Vector
>Omega
It's still a decent amount of characters, but it's always good to have variety.

No, Fang is way more unique and Metal Sonic works better as the evil Sonic doppelganger. Because not only is he evil Sonic, he's actually faster than Sonic and he represents everything Sonic is against. He's a complete bastardization of Sonic by Robotnik.

>You are in charge of the complete rebooting of the Sonic franchise.
Keep the core group in main games and side characters in spin-offs/experimental games. Mario has done a good job with keep its core characters in NSMB and the 3D mario games and extras in rpgs/sports games. There's nothing wrong with sonics friends in concept, they just never had any good games to be in.

Silver needs to go, there's no reason for this character to exist past Sonic 06, yet he keeps showing up.

The Deadly Six should also fuck off, I have no idea why Sega keep putting Zavok in the games. Infinite would be a better choice, he's designed to be an oboxious edge lord and it worked.

That's mostly about it though. Character I would consider main cast are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Eggman, Shadow, Rouge. Secondary cast would be Blaze, Cream, Choatix. Anyone else like Marine, Tikal, Big, etc would be tertiary mostly for spin-offs or revisiting adventures.

I'd argue they should get Blaze up to main cast, she's too good of a character especially to play as.

Fang is easily one of Sonic's best characters. The little fella has a lot of personality and he works perfectly with the rest of the cast. Granted I don't care aboug Bean or Bark more than thinking they'd be fun in spin-offs like the Olympics and such.

Make it about Blaze.

Sonic, Tails and Amy are secondaries.

Get rid of the Deadly Six, cycle appearances between the cast based on the plot for each game and have as many characters as possible appear for spinoff titles.

>Keep
The main 3
Metal Sonic
Eggman
Amy (Tone down the lovey dovey shtick just a tad, make her not useless)
Cream
Rogue
Shadow (Tone down his gruffness and angst, make him into less of caricature of a rival and more of what he should have been after Adventure 2.)
Mighty
Ray
This is the main cast that can show up in the main games, other characters could make appearances in spinoffs or whatever.
>remove
Everyone else.
Maybe give Blaze and Silver their own side games. Maybe the Chaotix crew can return in a Knuckles spinoff. Etcetera.

Sounds like fucking Sonic Boom 2. Hard pass.

What? How?

I love Sonic

Everyone except
The main 3
Eggman
Team Chaotix
Amy
Shadow
Blaze
Metal Sonic
Mighty
Ray
Fang/Nack
Bean
Bark

KEEP
