Well, I suppose you have a point there.

Honestly, I try to distance myself from the Sonic characters themselves, but I don't want it to seem like they don't exist. That's why I still use the elements from the series, locations, Chaos emeralds even, and rarely sometimes making one of them appear for a logical reason. (i.e One of my characters lives on Angel Island, so it'd be only natural if they happened to see Knuckles.) The only time I really went all out with using canon characters was in Splice The Hedgehog. The plot bringing back Dr. Eggman as a villain attracted Team Sonic, naturally. But those four were the only canon characters I used for that game, aside from the many badniks.
