Sonic Boom + The New Sonic Cast?

Wow, this design conversation was past old. Also, I believe they were going for the oversized pigtails look for Sticks.

I had not seen this thread before

It's not that they're that bad, it's that they can sometimes steal the spotlight.

The only character I ever had an issue with was Silver the hedgehog. It felt like, after Shadow had kind of become a friend of Sonic they needed a new character to fill up the rival job, just like Shadow had already replaced Knuckles.
