Hi there JorDanGo here, many places on the internet there are people who complain about how “BAH SONIC’S FRIENDS SUCK BAH” and they want him to be anti-social shun in. I on the other hand actually likes Sonic’s friends, probably because I got into Sonic through Sonic X, comics, and Sonic Heroes. Not only do I like Sonic’s friends but I feel that the other Sonic characters could actually star in their own game series, I mean with all the people who want Sonic to be Mario the only thing I would want to copy is giving side characters their own spin off games (Yoshi’s Island, Wario Land/Ware, Luigi’s Mansion). Now I know how very (VERY) unlikely pretty much all of my ideas here are due to stuff like budget, marketing, and legal issues but just pretend this is a magical fantasy world with raining gumdrops and unicorn/sasquatch hybrids who crap rainbows and where my ideas are possible.

• Knuckles the Echidna- a 3D platformer collectathon in the style of games like banjo kazooie or the first Jak and Daxter. the game focuses on Knuckles going around Angel Island collecting master emerald shards (with the radar system from adventure 1) that could either be found out in the open or hidden areas, or being held by NPCs. The basic plot is Knuckles finding out about his ancestry when a mysterious tribe of echidnas known as the Nocturnous clan try to steal the Master Emerald so they can bring back the demigod Enerjak to help them conquer the world forcing Knuckles to break the emerald into pieces across Angel Island. So Knuckles has to gather the shards before the Nocturnous clan with help from his friends Relic, Fix it, Archimedes, Chaos, and Tikal’s spirit.
• Chaotix Detective Agency- a point and click adventure in the style of old Lucas arts games like Monkey Island and Sam and Max with the interrogation gameplay from of phoenix wright (I would also like for game to have a 2D hand drawn style but that’s just me). It would have them going around solving mysteries around whatever town they live in (maybe either station square or emerald town). They’ll look for clues by either snooping around or talking to NPCs who might also give them side quests. The game’s plot would be split into episodes each with main cases all connected by a main plot where the Chaotix uncover a major sinister conspiracy while investigating a series of missing people (forgotten characters like Mighty and Ray).
• Shadow: Agents of GUN- not sure about gameplay to be honest, maybe a combination of Jak 2, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly Cooper I don’t know. Basically it would follow the adventures of Shadow and the rest of team Dark as GUN agents, the plot/objective of the game would either be Shadow hunting down dangerous Aliens hiding on the planet or Shadow hunting down chaos energy mutants who are attempts by various evil scientists trying to replicate Shadow.
• Legend of Blaze the Fire Cat- a legend of Zelda: wind waker style game (just replace the weapons and tools with fire abilities) with her traveling the Sol Dimension and battling evil forces who threaten her kingdom while aided by her plucky comic relief sidekick Marine who claims that she’s the one in charge. (Sorry that I don’t have as much ideas for this as I do with the others).
• Silver the Hedgehog- the gameplay would be expanded fixed up version of 06 gameplay. The game would either be about his adventures in the future or him going on adventures through space and time (doctor who style) with some friends (maybe the ones from the Silver Age story arc from sonic universe), and maybe have the time travel mechanic effect the gameplay (like sonic cd or ocarina of time). The main villain could Dr. Eggman Nega (who I would change to Dr. Nega who’ll also be redesigned so that he looks less like the modern Eggman/Robotnik) who is screwing with space and time.
• Tails Adventure- a kind of a modern 3D remake of Tails Adventure for the game gear, with the gameplay being a combination of his adventure gameplay with ratchet and clank style gadgets and Zelda style puzzles with some levels in mech walker from adventure 2. The plot is that Tails decides to go out adventuring on his own when he comes across Cocoa Island which is being invaded by the evil Battle Bird Army who are trying to conquer the Island to gain more resources to find their ancestral home of Babylon (throw in the Babylon Rouges and Bean the Dynamite as bosses and we’re good).
• Big and Froggy- a sonic version of Banjo Kazooie basically since some people compared Wendy Witchcart to Gruntilda, and I kind of feel like that if you want to give Big more characterization Banjo the bear would be a good influence, we’ll just have to find a way to change froggy into a wise cracking Mobian frog who rides around on Big (think like Kazooie or Daxter) though not sure what gender they’d be but I would go with female (has Froggy’s gender ever been confirmed). The gameplay would be a 3D platforming collectathon with Big’s abilities focused on his strength and using his fishing pole and Froggy’s on her hopping and tongue while also filling up with air to float. For story I don’t know have them fight Wendy Witchcart for some reason like I don’t know maybe she’s turning their friends into crystals or something.
• Robotnik: World’s Greatest Genius- the gameplay would be focused Robotnik going through platforming levels while using a large assortment of weapons (Ratchet and Clank style), Building various weapons, robots, and vehicles (Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts style), command his robot minions (pikmin style), and occasionally ride in his mech (adventure 2 style). And sometimes you can play as some of the robots themselves like Metal Sonic, Orbot and Cubot, maybe bring in Scratch and Grounder from the cartoons, maybe new robot characters based on traditional badniks, or maybe include the egg bosses/dark egg legion from the Archie comics. For the plot I’m thinking it’d either be like that cancelled Crash Bandicoot Cortex game (the inspiration for this game idea) and have Robotnik try and get revenge on other villains for some reason (the villains could be Great Battle Kuku, Wendy Withcart, Imperator Ix, and maybe villains from the cartoons and comics like Dr. Quark, Naugus, Iron Queen, Mammoth Mogul, Sidewinder…) or maybe Robotnik goes into space and either goes to another planet ruled by an even more evil villain and goes out to conquer it himself or go off conquering other planets to build an intergalactic empire to conquer Mobius/Earth (I refuse to call it Sonic’s world) and maybe lead into the next main Sonic game.
• Cream’s Choa garden- basically it’s just the choa garden from the Sonic Adventure games but you play as Cream the Rabbit and would probably be an app or something.
• Amy’s magical adventure- gameplay like Sonic Adventure but with added magical powers. The plot would be Amy discovering she has magic powers and has to learn to use her magic powers as she faces either Wendy Witchcart or maybe bring Naugus in from the cartoons/comics or both (since they’re twins in the comics), and she has to travel the world collecting magical relics alongside her new magical mentor Lazaar (from the cartoon).
so these are my ideas for spin off games starring Sonic's friends, I'm kind of surprised that I manage to come up with ideas for practically all the main characters besides Sonic! hope you like my ideas and let me know your thoughts below, or if you don't agree with my ideas let me know your own ideas in the comments I like to see other perspectives. some of these ideas might "Might" appear in my comic Sonic Odyssey but not guaranteed.

Sonic and related characters are owned by Sega, Sonic Team, Archie, Dic entertainment, Fleetway, Ken Penders

That jeans Amy rose will become a magical girl? If so I will be a lot hyped up for it.
