Mighty the Armadillo

I just wondered what would happen if Mighty and Ray realized they were gonna be in another game after literally 7 years.

They're excited even though most other people are disappointed.

What happens next? Ray starts explaining what Sonic Blitz is about. And then the two move to the Philippines to play it already.

For many years, there has been wonder of the absence of classic Sonic characters or new characters based off of classic designs; such as Mighty the Armadillo, Ray the Flying Squirrel, and Trip the Sungazer. Although they serve no purpose in the modern games, they are still considered canon. My suggestion is that Sega could reintroduce these characters in spin-off games starring them to explain to Sonic fans on what happened to them. Our heroes can be comprised of Mighty, Ray, Trip, Honey the Cat, even the now-redeemed Bark the Polar Bear and Bean the Dynamite, since they have abandoned Fang the Hunter's employ. It could even included unseen canon characters like Stick the Badger, Witchcart, and the Battle Kukku Empire (untouched by Archie Comics, of course). It could expand the Sonic lore even farther.

My only concern is the name of this spinoff game. It can't have "Sonic" in the name, since it's not about the hedgehog himself, and the classic characters may not as important enough star in their own game. For example; Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, and even Dr. Robotnik and Cream the Rabbit had got their own spinoff games at a time. If I had to choose, my recently suggestion would be to call it "Mighty and Ray", if they are still popular enough. But these are just my opinions. What are your thoughts?

Oshima drew this before Knuckles Chaotix, I know that. I don't know exactly when, but guessing from how Vector and Sharps are still here, and Tails isn't here either, probably around 1992. More specifically, after Sonic 1 but before the SEGA split (which caused Sonic 2 to be made in the US and Sonic CD to be made in Japan)

I decided to redraw mighty’s pointing pose from sonic the comic.

Like, really, I was as excited as the next guy to see them return in Sonic Mania Plus, but after that, I just couldn't get myself invested into them. I even like the Chaotix more, and this comes from a guy who sometimes forgets they exist.
