Mr. Bad's got it good, but this ain't his neighborhood he's taking over, no, no.

Yes because he has a lawsuit settlement that lets him use Sonic characters as long as they're rooted in his writing and distinct visually from how SEGA presents these characters. As long as it isn't mistakable for a SEGA product. It's legally allowed. Since SEGA has retired the iconic classic western Sonic artstyle, Ken Penders is allowed to do this as long as SEGA continues to neglect that artstyle.

You're legally allowed to do this because of the lawsuit settlement.
As long as your version of the characters is distinct from the SEGASonic versions of Sonic characters and isn't mistakable for a SEGA Product and ti is rooted in your characterization and writing, you're allowed to use them.
Since SEGA does not use the Western Sonic artstyle anymore and does not have a SegaSonic version of Sally Acorn that looks like this (Spinball Sally is pink), this is very legal and very cool. Just like Lara-Su chronicles Knuckles.
If SEGA wants to retain legal rights to these characters, they need to use their own SEGASonic versions.

Great gains can only come with great risk. This is the essential motif of Sonic the Hedgehog, 1993. It's not about 'freedom'. It's about a teenage hedgehog with a crippling addiction to the thrill of war. Sally is his enabler, the strategist who cooks up his next mission, his next fix. Robotnik is the monstrous dealer teaching him the cruel nature of the world. Mobotropolis isn't a city. It's an idea. It's the ultimate high they're all chasing, a peaceful world they can't even remember. They're not heroes. They're traumatized child soldiers.
Fast forward sixteen years. Welcome to the sequel, Sonic Colors. Life's been rough. The old Tyranny Thrashers are gone. Zoomie is a washed-up vet, desperate for a mission. The man now calling himself 'Eggman' is just Robuttnik's pathetic sniveling quisling, all grown up, trying to live up to his uncle's legacy. And the princess? She's here too. But she's lost her luster. She just translates alien languages, eats, and snarks.
The witty banter isn't funny. It's a desperate cope. A longing for when their friends were by their side. Dr. Done-It tells Sanic he's reformed, but Zippy knows it's all a lie. He's seen this all before. He chases the fraud, trying to find meaning at the center of the park.
Then he finds it. Egghead, naked in a giant robot, powered by aliens. A pale imitation of the tyrant that gave Mr. Needlemouse's life a purpose. Zoomer brutally overpowers him, leaves him for dead in a black hole. He's finally free. He gets to see what he was fighting for. He sees 'Mobotropolis'. It's empty. It was never real. That's the end of the blue blur. They were never going to restore a civilization that collapsed to its own internal contradictions over a decade ago.
The game isn't complicated. It's about a 16-year-old cartoon. The lesson was there from the start. Who needs Mobotropolis? It's safer in the amusement park. Or well, Knothole Village. Pick your poison, folks.

I have standards.
I love Sonic the Hedgehog.

If you're strong, you can fly. You can reach the other side of the rainbow.
It's alright, take a chance. 'Cause there is no circumstance that you can't handle when you use your mind.
Mr. Bad's got it good, but this ain't his neighborhood he's taking over, no, no.
Time is now. He can't hide. Find the power deep inside and make it happen.
Sonic Boom.
Trouble keeps you moving faster. Save the planet from disaster.

On that note, a 3D reimagining of Sonic CD with an expanded cast of characters (AMY, TAILS, SALLY, SHADOW, ETC) could have IMMENSE APPEAL to JAPANESE AUDIENCES. Especially if FAN FAVORITE CHARACTERS LIKE SAGE AND SCOURGE APPEAR!
So many people, incredible people, many of them Japanese, they come up to me and they say "I want surreal, environmentalist, absurdist Sonic with Japanese sensibilities and western charm" and I go up to them and I tell them, we can have that. It's true folks, we can. The windiest, most wind you've ever seen, and everyone can be happy. These people, they're weak, 'JP purists', they care about their weeaboo trash but not what actually appeals to Japanese people, they don't realize that the correct lens for a multimedia franchise has always been and always will be EERYTHINGFAGGOTRY.
Imagine the hype! Return to Little Planet! Huge zones, time travel mechanics, tons of playable characters with their own skills! Momentum based platforming. Zanny visuals. Everyone would love it. And I truly do mean everyone.
So why won't SEGA do it? Because they're weak and because of the Archie alumni that are keeping this franchise held down and held back! You cowards want a return to Maekawa, but NEWSFLASH MOTHERFUCKERS, Maekawa's too busy writing YAOI SHOTA to care about our BLUE FUCKING RAT. Now Yuki Imada. He's a winner. Certified winner. He could do this wonderful franchise justice. So fucking advocate for him to write for Sonic.

The west. Evan Stanley. Who the IDWfags want to control the franchise.
SoA cannot be trusted with Sonic until the slobs are cleansed from the series (Bumbleking clique and IDW writers).
Sonic needs old American ideas revisited from a Japanese lens. Not Americans failing to understand and interpret Japanese ideas.

I'm a westerner born in 2001 and I love SatAM!
What are you on about? SatAM is very easily accessible for youth. There are TV channels that reair the episodes to this day and it's up for free on Youtube to watch. SatAM is one of my favorite medias to come out of this franchise and I grew up with it alongside rereleases of the classic games.
I also know numerous younger fans who love SatAM and roboticization, as well as Western Sonic tropes. They tend to like both the Blade of Courage Manga and Sonic Forces.
