Sega Announces new 2D Sonic title

[Vipershark]

Being in a game doesn't take away from sonic friend status. By that logic, terrible characters like Chip from Sonic Unleashed should make multiple returns.

Spoilers: Chip is an ancient spirit who sleeps for a thousand years. We won't see him again.

And what the hell do you guys mean by "friend status"

A "sonic friend" is anyone who isn't sonic, knuckles, or tails.
Basically, useless "friend" characters who don't need to be in the game.

Personally, I don't think shadow, rouge, or blaze fit as sonic friends, (and rather, count as main characters) and amy is debatable. As for the Chaotix, they don't count as sonic friends if knuckles is with them.

Everyone else is a sonic friend.

That being said, I wouldn't mind a sequel to Knuckles Chaotix.
