User blog comment:The Pop Cult Gamer/YoshiWii1's Top Ten Favorite Sonic characters/@comment-3571790-20131125021319

YES! Finally someone who likes Big that isn't me!

I think Big's probably one of the most unique Sonic characters. What you usually see in a Sonic character is a anthropomorphic animal with some sort of 'tude that has some sort of superpower, whether it be super speed, super strength, flight, super-intelligence, or even some sort of special power like chaos, telekinesis, fire, and others. Big's just a cat that wants to fish peacefully with his best friend Froggy. I think that's one of the simplist ideas SEGA ever had.

Not only that, but I find Big to be one of the most caring Sonic characters. Froggy always gets lost or kidnapped, and Big will never get tired of it and travel the world over just to find his best friend. Now that's love.

For his gameplay in Sonic Adventure, well, I found Froggy to be quite easy to catch sometimes. If he gets too annoying, you can just fish for other fish. If that gets too annoying, if you get that Life Belt upgrade and go swimming. Many ways to have fun.

I think the problem with Big is that SEGA didn't know how to use Big the best way they could. They could have done so much with such a simple character, yet SEGA didn't have a proper way to fit him into the stories and made as much cameos of Big as they did with appearances in the main story.
