Correction, practically every old Sonic game had that, each game had a new character added, speed increased because technology improved and well I know the games didn't include humans besides Robotnik but humans have little impact on the game besides a replacement for small animals.

Practically? You know that there are other classic Sonic games other than those on the Mega Drive, right?
Let's see his whole library of gaming:
Sonic 1 <- Sonic and Robotnik
Sonic 2 <- Tails
Sonic 3 <- Knuckles
Sonic CD <- Amy
SEGASonic <- Mighty and Ray
Knuckles Chaotix <- Espio, Heavy, Vector, Charmy (Bomb was already a badnik from Starlight Zone)
Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast, and all Sonics from GameGear and Master System except Triple Trouble <- No new characters added!
While in new games, even spin-offs have new characters and villains and giant monsters as final bosses!
Plus, JarJar said and I quote:

stop adding new friends that aren't necessary.

Tails is a necessary character, Knuckles is a necessary character, heck, even Amy I consider a necessary character.
So, the only classic games that added unecessary characters were SEGASonic, Chaotix, Triple Trouble (even though I fucking love Fang, he can be easily replaced by Eggman/Knuckles/Eggrobo) and Sonic R.
These four games doesn't look like the whole library of classic Sonic games if you ask me!

Speed wasn't increased because technology improved. Sonic 3 has the same speed as Sonic 2. Sonic 1 was supposed to have even bigger speed than Sonic 3 and Sonic 2, but the developers thought people could have seizures, because he was really that fast. And then they slowed him down.

I don't really mind humans, as long as they are cartoonized and have that surrealism factor that the classic games had in their structure (Sonic OVA comes in mind! The President had elf-like ears and his daughter had cat ears and tail), and as long as they don't take a major role on the game, and shows that there are many other antro creatures besides Sonic and his friends, have some racoons, foxes and shits as NPCs, why not?

edit:
didn't count mean bean machine because that wasn't a game, that was a ROM hack, really.
Sonic the Fighters didn't have any new characters. Bean and Bark are characters from Dinamite Dux but "Sonicsized", thus I don't count them.
