Ok Sega, you got something good going here. Adding Tails is good since it would feel kinda messed up without him. Adding Kunckles possibly would be fine too.
After him: Do.Not.Add.Anymore.Friends. Infact, dont even have talking cutscenes since those always go wrong.
please dont goof it up. Use common sense judgement.
Man it's already confirmed there are a **** ton of friends. Amy and Shadow and Silver are bosses.
But Sonic is the only playable character.

No talking oh god please no talking
Modern characters will talk, classic ones won't.
