All those examples of alt characters: Thing is those are all separate canon verses (except Turbo Mecha Sonic, he's a Fanon AU character and or stance on that is still pending). Mega Man.EXE differs greatly from the original classic Mega Man but both are still official products of Capcom and are different canon characters. Same thing with Mega Man X and Paper Mario with Mario. This is in contrast to Sonic.EXE who is not from a separate canon verse. Also I don't see how Metal Sonic is an example, he's his own character separate from Sonic and Mecha Sonic.
