Sonic is a cartoon character that's how he was envisioned by Oshima. Him being cool was just a part of his character

I agree some Japanese Classic art looked too cutesy for me but I still appreciate them a lot, not my preferred style for Sonic but still

I love this image

I like how most (Japanese) classic art at the time focused on Sonic and Tails even during the Saturn era when there were a lot more characters to choose from
