And now look at Megaman, he’s suffering a fate worse than death, at least in Sonic’s case they constantly evolved his 2D designs BUT, speaking of reusing things, they’ve been reusing the Unleashed model for almost 2 decades and it’s really showing it’s age.

Genesis > (For starting out the franchise first and foremost, these are the most important games) Advance > (Smoothly transitioning the Blue Blur to Nintendo systems with amazing sprite work that may as well be iconic for flash animations) > Rush (Expanding upon the 2D formula giving us the boost power *I love F-Zero* and also giving us Blaze) > Sonic 4 (It was just a port of a mobile game that had the audacity to have the name of “Sonic the Hedgehog 4”) > Superstars (Just another Classic Sonic that doesn’t really expand or evolve the formula since it’s traps itself using the damn classic designs since classic has to always be simple multiplayer isn’t that great and Emerald Powers are whatever)
