Video game adaptations often fall into the ‘hit or miss’ category with audiences familiar with the source material.
Humans become more present betweenSonic AdventureandSonic 06, but they still arent the main characters of the games.
However, they essentially disappear again after that.
The only human would be Dr. Robotnik if he somehow survived theend ofSonic the Hedgehog 3.
Plus, many fans have grown attached to the Wachowskis.
They fill a parental role for Team Sonic, providing guidance and a moral compass.

They also kind of missed the opportunity to go in this direction inSonic the Hedgehog 3when Tom gets injured.
However, there is another less dark option that wont betray the viewers settingSonic 4on a different planet.
The writers could have Team Sonic leave for Little Planet early inSonic the Hedgehog 4if they go theSonic CDroute.
This would add a sense of consistency for Team Sonic and the audience.
