I've always wondered what would have happened if Sonic never became the mascot. Hmm. I don't know. I actually never thought of it. I actually found out about Alex Kidd about two years after I was already into Sonic, so I guess I never could really imagine anyone else as the mascot. But that's something interesting to think about.
