![]() But the framework is there and they have some really cool non-male characters in this franchise. This is just one of the trappings of sticking so closely to classic Sonic's 'world', as he has fewer characters to choose from and I can only imagine the shitshow that will happen in the Sonic fandom if they start making classic versions of modern Sonic characters. She was never really a playable character in the classic so I never really expected her to be included but I'm fairly confident she will be in the sequel. Mania, for all its praise and as much as I love it, didn't feature Amy as a playable character in any aspect. ![]() But there's potential to be better than it currently is. ![]() Say what you will "blah blah sonic's shitty friends" drivel, but I feel like this is one aspect that where the Sonic series is actually really ahead of Mario. It's no wonder that my younger cousin thought Tails was a girl when she saw him. Heck even Tails, who is a boy, is pretty gender non-conforming in his design and has a nice gender neutral yellow: Blaze the Cat (Rush, Rush Adventure, '06).Rouge the Bat (Adventure 2, Heroes, Shadow the Edgehog, '06).Cream the Rabbit (Advance 2, Advance 3, Heroes).Amy Rose (Adventure, Adventure 2, Heroes, Advance 1, Advance 2, Advance 3, '06, all the Boom games except Shattered Crystal).It's not about the amount of characters, it's more about the rate at which they appear as 'playable'.Ĭomparing this to non-male Sonic characters and we have: (I was going to include "yelllow Toad" & "blue Toad" as different characters but that would've been a bit of a cop out). Luigi (all except SM64, Sunshine & Odyssey).Mario (all of the platformer games obviously).Compare this to playable male characters in mainline Mario games: 2, Super Princess Peach, 3D World)Īnd their appearances as "fully playable" kind of just end there. Overall when it comes to non-male characters in mainline Mario games, you've got: U who can transform into Peachette with the Super Crown, which is cool! To me it feels pretty obvious that they wanted Peach to be playable but knew it wouldn't make sense since the story is about her being held hostage in her own home. They've recently added Toadette as a playable character in New Super Mario Bros. Gonna be careful with how i word this thread because when i made a similar point on reddit i ended up with an angry mario fan calling me an "sjw sonic f*g" lol
