Well, they could have used Cream again, but it seems like someone at Sega has it out for her.

Rouge is just more flexible than Cream. And the voice actress won't sound like, well, nails on a chalkboard.

Cream's time in the spotlight has come and gone. Its funny how they keep trying to add a 5th guy and it almost never works out lol.

Cream or Sticks never really caught on; at least now they're using an establish character for it, but they basically plucked Rouge from Team Dark and put her on Team Sonic.

Shadow is Shadow so he'll be fine, but poor Omega lol. In a few years, they'll probably try adding Blaze to the main cast.

Mike Pollock won't be appearing in more fan-content material, so say goodbye to hearing Eggman in Sonic and Tails R.

I mean, getting tricked to saying "Pingas" was a a start.

I could never get into Sonic X, but I liked hearing about Rouge's dynamic with Topaz. As for Boom and Prime, I like Sticks, and I like the increased time given to Rouge.

@Cream & Rouge or anyone else not fitting too well as fifth character:

It definitely looks like Sonic Team wants to focus the cast of characters down to a core quartet in recent years.

On the other hand, I imagine we might start seeing Cream more often if they keep doing stuff with Amy. Likewise, we might start seeing Rouge more often if they keep doing stuff with Knuckles or Shadow.

Like, if the DLC for Frontiers goes well enough that they start making side-character focused DLC a consistent thing in the future, it might give them a decent opportunity to give characters who don't do the supporting role thing so well with Sonic an outlet to appear.

However if this wasn't the case, then why go out of their way to voice this to the fanbase?

They didn't go out of their way. The member of the team was asked if the show uses the game's continuity during an interview, and they answered the question.

As for what I said, what I meant was as far as the actual material within the show goes, there isn't really anything to suggest the show is canon to the games, or that the games are canon to the show beyond Broad Strokes. For example Knuckles isn't on Angel Island in the show, no one except Sonic has a particular attachment to Green Hill in the games, etc. Of course anything's possible considering the show runs on multiverse theory, but there's no defined explicit connection saying the two are the same, and a bit of evidence to the contrary.

In any case, I hope future episodes do a bit to expand Big's character. Even though I kind of like the idea that Big just shows up places without a real backstory, which also happens from time to time in the games.

I'm curious to see what they are going to do with Big's character in future Sonic Prime episodes. I will admit that I was a bit surprised to see Big pop up suddenly in this show after spending years of not being in the Sonic franchise since Sonic Heroes. But now, I'm more interested in Big's character than I ever been years ago.

Remember when Knuckles destroyed the Master Emerald in Sonic Adventure 2 and yet Angel Island did not fall down?

That was weird.

...I need a new Sonic Riders game, and I need Big to be a playable character.

...I'm only half joking.

[up] I don't think they were ever on Angel Island in Adventure 2.

Knuckles and the Master Emerald didn't seem to be on Angel Island at all in SA2. He was hanging out with it in the middle of a desert for some reason.

Although I'm curious that if Knuckles had smashed the emerald in Sonic Adventure 2, how come Angel Island didn't fall? I'm guessing that Knuckles has powers that even if the Master Emerald does get crushed, he can still keep the island afloat somehow?

I wonder how big Angel Island actually is.

Big has made post Heroes appearances though, in Chronicles, Colors DS, and a couple of the racing games. Though of those only Team Sonic Racing is canon, apparently.

I would assume we don't see Angel Island fall in SA2 because Angel Island wasn't in SA2. It's completely irrelevant in the game's plot.

Actually, Knuckles's recap in SA 2 clarifies that he chased the thieving Rouge off of the island.

The dialogue already implied that was the case...

But those recaps are there for more explicit confirmation.

Honestly, I just assumed from the map that everything as far west as Pumpkin Hill was Angel Island, and that it did fall.
