Princess Peach is actually a pretty good character in the story-driven Paper Mario games. In these games she's a playable character and actually does something to help Mario. I'd like to see more of that. Not just in Mario, in general. Getting kidnapped shouldn't be seen as a sign of incompetence or weakness. The only Sonic game I'm aware of that did something like this was Chronicles where you actually get called out by Amy if you mock Knuckles for getting kidnapped and he joins your party. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a Sonic game where Amy/Tails/whoever got kidnapped but is still playable and helps you progress in the story? Of course there should be a reason why the character doesn't escape on his/her own but it's not that hard to come up with something like that. Just make him/her be trapped in a base underwater/in the sky/in another dimension/in space...
