Too many new sonic characters?

[Dragon Tamer♂ Sir Repiteo]

god dammit why can everyone fly in this game but me?

"and so sonic learned that he blows ass because all he has is that crappy-ass spinning air strike move that sucks balls. THE END"

that's why

I could of sworn I read that somewhere else.

But on topic: The Sonic series does use a bunch of characters and are somtimes just revamped ideas of old characters. However, the Mario series is kinda is doing that too; mainly in Mario Kart. (Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Dry Bones, Toadette, Dry Bowser, etc...)
