Nope nope. They can stay obscure and only cameo as posters in the background. Sega adding things to make Sonic 'better' is what got Sonic in the state it is today.
In there 'big' Sonic releases, sure, add swords, loads of characters and terrible dialogue ("Come and get me, Sonic heroes") - they can do whatever they please, I don't care. But to make a 'pure' Sonic game and then wanting them to add to it - madness.
I have no doubt done right, your ideas would work. But I have zero faith in Sega being able to do such a thing. I mean look how bad Sonic 4 was - just awful, and that was meant to be a modern take on the classic formula.
It's like adding Christmas lights to a teapot.
