"and so sonic learned that he blows ass because all he has is that crappy-ass spinning air strike move that sucks balls. THE END"

that's why

I could of sworn I read that somewhere else.

But on topic: The Sonic series does use a bunch of characters and are somtimes just revamped ideas of old characters. However, the Mario series is kinda is doing that too; mainly in Mario Kart. (Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Dry Bones, Toadette, Dry Bowser, etc...)

Quote is from "Awesome The Hedgehog" Look it uop.
And Saying Sonic has too many Characters is like Saying there's too many Pokemon. They jusyt keep coming. Weter you like them or not. And comparing Sonic to Mario is dumb, They are barely alike.

I never said they had too many, I just said they seem to be reusing ideas. And I wasn't comparing the series, I was comparing their actions.

I never specified you. I meant most of the fans of both. Sure Mario and Sonic started out similer (Platforming games, meant to compete for Market) but they started to drift once SA came out. I'm also not much of a Mario fan though. But I think Mario has alot of useless Characters too. Specificaly, the Baby versions in Sports games and such.

True, however if Sonic Team and Sega choose to take on an alternate timeline game then maybe it would, however I highly have doubts that there going to do that for specific reasons.

@Sir Repiteo: It was mentioned before that Nintendo is getting away with the a whole bunch of new characters for the Mario series, Thats mainly because they are not revamping ideas for other characters exxcessively. If you compair that with the Sonic's new lot of characters, there mostly revamps of old characters.

Lets look at the Sonic series new lot:

Blaze- A character like Sonic that has the same role, Mainly collecting a differnt version of the chaos emeralds, Thats not enough for you? Alright lets make Her super form a pyrotetnik super animal! And instead of a hedgehog lets make her a female Cat Princess! fair enough?

Eggman Nega- He's basicly another eggman so therefore not worth of much mention.

Silver- Another SONIC LIKE HOG, lets just fuck up his hair style and not make it so that he is not like shadow or sonic. And lets make him so that he is a from about 100 years in the future, and lets makle it so that he is pyscic.

ok, did I make a point yet? I would add on more and add some mario characters to compair with the sonic series, but I gotta get to bed so peace out mah brothas.

I hear Sonic fans wanting to see less of the many other characters in adventure games. And then I hear Mario fans wanting to see MORE of the many other characters in adventure games.

Take Waluigi. He hasn't been in a real Mario game, EVER.

If Waluigi ever appeared in a real Mario game I would be sold instantly.

Exactly my point.

Unless Wario appears in a main adventure game, which hasn't happened since SM64DS, I doubt Waluigi will appear...much to my dismay.

I think Waluigi's fine as he is, personally. But this is a bit off topic.

Sonic has had too many characters since Big, bless his fat cat heart, was introduced. No point changing now. If Rush has proved anything, cutting the amount of characters isn't gonna bring the series back to its former glory. At least... not alone.

I like the wide variety of Sonic characters, most of the characters they create are really cool looking, and if more cool characters are playable it makes the game more interesting.

And I can choose a favourite.

If your talking about the ones with no plot or really lazly designed ones, then may god save you.

IMO every character who came AFTER Sonic Adventure 2 is useless (excluding maybe blaze)
everyone before and during SA2 is fine

Seriously, most of the characters in these new Sonic games are about as useful to the series as Chris was in the Sonic X series. Big the Cat was just a retarded version of Garfeild who only appeared in three Sonic games, and the games would be all the same without him. Shadow is just a hedgehog Sasuke.
I think Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Metal Sonic, and Doctor Robotnik (Eggman) and the badniks are enough characters.
