And on a side note, I think Sonic Character (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Eggman at least) > Mario characters in terms of personality. Just listen to some of the characters' soundtracks from SA2 and you instantly get an idea of who they are. I agree, modern Sonic games are good. I even enjoyed 06, & Secret Rings to an extent. I also agree that Sonic characters are usually better developed than Mario characters, but not in more recent titles. Sonic, Eggman, & Zavok in the recent games are some of my least favorite characters in fiction, possibly even moreso than Dimentio (who i don't like for personal reasons) since he just doesn't appeal to me. The others are straight up stupid, lazy, & pointless. Sonic's cocky as all get out, with pretty much no other quality to balance it out. Eggman's overconfident as all get out, which is fine on its own, until he starts insulting everyone that fails him when he's failing just as hard. And Zavok... well he's Zavok, his only purpose is "villain", no backstory, no motivation, not even an ounce of consistency in the few things that DO define him.

Okay I'm done ranting, but to keep things on topic, I ironically like Zavok heedless of him being literal garbage.
