Yeah, and guess what Dragon Ball is really about, GOKU. Those other characters were never really meant to keep up after Goku surpassed them in power. More fans should be appreciative that modern Dragon Ball still makes an effort to keep some of them around, even Vegeta became irrelevant by GT. If you thought that DB was ever supposed to be about some avengers superhero team where everyone is at a similar level than you never understood it. Sonic is basically the same. more Most of the main characters only matter in the context of how they relate to Sonic. It's just harder for characters to be phased out because there isn't some ongoing character arc and games are self contained, also because this is a game instead "power scaling" doesn't matter as much outside of the context of the story and which characters stick around hinges on if they can provide fun gameplay ideas and popularity. The truth is that outside of Sonic and Shadow, most characters aren't gonna be getting much "attention" outside of spinoffs and smaller projects.
