To be perfectly honest, I like the idea that Sonic gathers companions on his journey to defeat Eggman on a regular basis. It was one of the reasons why I enjoyed Sonic 3 & Knuckles so much, because Tails and Knuckles had powers that allowed them to access routes Sonic could not access. But everywhere I go, people are criticizing the Sonic franchise for its ensemble cast of anthropomorphic animal friends, without giving any good reasons why.
So why hate Sonic's friends, yet be perfectly okay with other heroes gathering their own respective companions on their journeys, like Mario and the way he carried around characters like Wario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Rosalina?
