In Sonic Runners are more playable characters, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Team Chaotix are playable. In Sonic Dash the other characters were just alternate skins, but in Runners they have different abilities. Runners also has something like a story, but it's mostly Sonic, Tails and Knuckles chasing Dr. Eggman and saving little animals and Wisps. But hey, at least they're not idiots like in a certain other spin-off *coughcough* Sanik Bum *cough*

Sonic Runners is good, but obviously not a big Sonic game. I hope they think of something great for his 25th anniversary in 2016. They had their chance. Sonic Runners seems to be Sonic's birthday game now. NNo major console releases.

Yeah, they have a lot of stuff with birthday cake in that game. But to be fair, for a smartphone game, it's pretty good. And Tails and Knuckles actually do something even though I can't take the story presentation seriously. (I couldn't in Generations 3DS either so the problem is not exclusive to the game and of course we can't expect a smartphone game to have CGI cutscenes.)

But next year is 10 years after the "beautiful birthday present" that was Sonic 06. 25 is a good number. Maybe they come up with something new, maybe they don't. I know 3D doesn't mean good game, but they could of at least put effort in updating Sonic Dash with all the fancy stuff that makes Sonic Runners good.
