Well, there is a Sabrina crossover in the cameos page, that even states it's a full fledged crossover. Listing that as a cameo is like listing Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games as a cameo. In fact the story continues into Archie Sonic Super Special Issue 10! And the Archie and Friends: A Halloween Tale, which is another Sabrina "cameo", she transports herself into Sonic's world and goes back taking Sonic and Knuckles with her. Sounds like another crossover.

Now we count Wreck-It Ralph as a cameo? Well, out of all those licensed video game characters, Sonic seems to appear the most. One of his appearances was a PSA which was very important to the story. Eggman was also in Ralph's Bad-Anon group. And look at the length of the movie's box. It can make a full article. Sonic's even in a poster and has his own artwork for the movie! I find him more of a supporting character than a cameo. Segagaga is pretty much a crossover where Sonic appears and Alex Kidd tells us how Sonic replaced Alex.

Other cameos show Sonic on merchandise (like his first appearance as an ornament in Rad Mobile), mentions (like Moneybags threatening to turn Spyro into a blue hedgehog), parodies (like MAD), title screens (like J. League Pro Striker), look-a-likes (like the eggs in Billy Hatcher hatching into clones of Sonic), similar characters (like Harry Hedgehog in Yoshi's Island), Sonic items (like Sonic's shoes in Diddy Kong's Quest), appearances in Sonic themed levels in noncrossover games (like Green Hill in Samba De Amigo), costumes (like Hatsune Miku's 20th Anniversary outfit) etc. Now let's go through the List of cameos and references and see what qualifies between cameo and crossover.
