Tikal: ASDF! Tikal has always and will forever be my favorite sonic girl character...next to Sal, of course. I Needz moar Tikal!!
Sally(as a suggestion): for chrissake, Sega, if you allow archie to give sonic a better love interest, PUT HER IN A FRUGGIN GAME!

It's the make each character different syndrome. Sonic focuses on running the stages so Knuckles and Tails had to play differently. Why? So they were different. Purpose? ..............uh.....well......so they are different. Likability? Depends on how long you can search for emeralds without going insane.

I guess this is to prevent from being repetitive and add variety other than Sonic running through the levels.

[RedAuthar]

Exactly. In Adventure they wanted each character to be different. However.....certain characters' levels or gameplay were just bad.

*Cough* Big *Cough*

I'll admit, I'm one of the few that actually likes Big (as a character, not his gameplay). I mean, he's a down-to-earth and simplistic character who just so happens to get caught up in a continuous battle. I don't mind a character who hates fighting or violence, but my biggest problem with Big is; if he hates fighting, why is he playable in the first place?

As for the other characters, it would be nice to see them return (like the cameo in Sonic Generations), but it depends on their gameplay. Like I can see Nack/Fang having gunfire gameplay similar to "Shadow the Hedgehog", Bark could have a gameplay similar to the power characters in "Sonic Heroes" (i.e. Knuckles, Big, Omega, and Vector), and Bean could use his bombs in a manor similar to Rouge's grenade tossing in "Sonic 06". Mighty is also a cool character, but I'm not so sure what his gameplay type should be like.

Ray is probably the only neglected character I don't particularly care for. While Mighty had hints of a personality (the Chaotix manual states that he's a traveling pacifist that only fights when he needs to), Ray doesn't get any description at all. Even in the Archie series, where all the other neglected characters got a chance to shine; Ray is the only one that never developed an interesting personality. He just comes off as a Tails clone with a Porky Pig-like stuttering problem. Heck, the writers of the Fleetway series left him out completely because they found him uninteresting. Plus, they already had a squirrel character in the series who was much more interesting than Ray.

I think Big was going to get more development but never did.

As for Ray..........yeah I got nothing. I don't really care for him either.

For me, that wasn't very long.

Me on the other hand, I enjoyed the Knuckles stages.

Because I actually liked the way that game LOOKED. It was great visually, but played like complete garbage. It suffered from glaring technical errors as well as all the same problems the Sonic Adventure games had. Finnickey controls, a problematic camera, and laughable physics made a game that was otherwise promising a complete trainwreck. All that aside, the look of the game was the best of it overall.

Back on the subject of Neglected charcters in the Sonic series, are there any otherwise neglected charcters you'd like to see more of?
