You do have a point, Amy was importany in Unleashed, Black Knight, Zero Gravity, and Chronicles. Knuckles was important in Zero Gravity, Black Knight, and Chronicles. Shadow and Big haven't had any major roles in a while.

Also, I've never met a single person who cared about whether or not Shadow was in, and frankly, he's just a Sonic clone. I mean, even his All Star move is the same as Sonic's.
