I'm kind of surprised Sonic wasn't already putting in a guest appearance there. I mean, they shoe-horned him into Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, and solving puzzles isn't really a thing I associate with Sonic. But he's had special stages that sort of resemble a Monkey Ball course going back to STH 2.
it's cartoon logic, they're only dangerous when he wants them to be
it's like how sonic can cut his way through robots but no one ever hurts themselves by touching his quills
Well also you can pet a real life Hedgehog on its quills if its relaxed, cause they only point outwards if it feels threatened. You just have to go in the direction they lay is all.

Puyo Puyo is Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine which is why it's in Mania

Yeah, Mean Bean Machine is the only exposure I had to Puyo Puyo until basically the internet.

Hah, I forgot all about Mean Bean Machine.
Oh well, I still feel like Monkey Ball is a pretty obvious place for Sonic to cameo, and I'm surprised he hadn't already.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone put the idea out there during the prime Monkey Ball era and Yuji Naka was like "how dare you, absolutely not."
So, for some reason, ScreenRant did an interview with Ken Penders about The Lara-Su Chronicles, his strange continuation of his work on the Archie Sonic comics that won't feature Sonic (but apparently will feature Robo-Robotnik, somehow).
I'm including some of the more..."interesting"...parts of it:
I’m hoping my story inspires the next generation to do their own thing as opposed to playing in someone else’s sandbox. I never saw Sonic as playing in someone else’s sandbox because Sonic didn’t exist when I began working in comics. I didn’t grow up with the character the way today’s kids did. From my point of view, I was one of the players building the sandbox others wanted to play in.
So I look at The Lara-Su Chronicles as my effort to finish what I began. Here’s this world I had to create for Sonic and Knuckles to play in, a world so rich they’re really not necessary to complete the story. People may disagree because of my inclusion of the character K’Nox, but that was to allow for a tighter connection to what came before for the longtime readers. I couldn’t leave them hanging after all this time.
---
This was always going to be a seven book series. This is a completely mapped story. I may not know the details but I know there’s a journey and an end.
--
Book five is basically my resolution to what happens to the Sonic cast of characters that I created, like Geoffrey St. John, Queen Alicia and Prince Elias.
---
At the time, I had set up three separate issues in Sonic: 50, 125 and 144. I didn’t know where I was going but they establish that by Sonic disrupting the space-time continuum on three separate occasions, it would lead to cataclysmic event. And once I had those elements in place, that’s when my story came to form much more coherently.
--- As far as Lara-Su’s legacy continuing, my son will do something, but I’m not sure what that will look like because they want to see what I do first before they do anything in particular. They look at it as my baby, as something they will be responsible for at some point down the road, but they haven’t given any thought to it yet. I also have two grandchildren, and you don’t know what steps they will take.
So basically Penders not only wants to create a new franchise with his Sonic OCs that is in the same continuity as the old comics (at least the ones he worked on) but can't feature Sonic characters, but he wants his son and grandchildren to make his glorified fanfic into a multi-generational work (which is...wow).
I surprisingly haven't been able to find any source on the year he was born. I did see a Reddit thread where someone was asking that question only for the responses to be "no clue". Best I've seen is in that interview itself, where he says Sonic didn't exist when he started working in comics.

Seen some clips of Sonic Colors on Switch running like absolute dogbuns, graphical glitches like woah. I feel like that shouldn't be allowed for decades later remasters.
Some people claimed it was the result of people playing the game on an emulator
Of course, this resulted in people posting videos of them playing it on a Switch and getting the bugs.
People also seem to have figured out at least one of the big triggers. Quickly switching between planets appears to cause it. Rapidly switching between levels like that sounds like something the QA people would have done almost as a matter of course when just trying to break things.
Sonic sometimes turns into a fish. Seizure warning
The other versions also have issues, but they aren't potentially seizure inducing so aren't really getting as much attention. https://youtu.be/n6Fd1COgWoI
This has various bugs that would be mocked like the ones in Sonic Boom normally
The FMVs still being in 480 but upscaled is kind of really bad. Like low resolution FMVs is often one of the things that really stands out about playing old PC games at higher resolutions than they assumed most people would play at launch.

I'm now at least a bit concerned that Penders and his son are trying to groom his grandchildren into carrying on his "legacy".
Which would at least lead to an unusual bit of teenage rebellion:
"Fuck you, Grandpa, I don't wanna draw Sonic fanfics anymore."
The method they use to get it only appears to work with the latest patch oddly enough
There were enough videos from a ton of different people to make it unlikely they were all just pirating it even before they started taking videos of their Switches
And besides the very huge potentially seizure inducing bugs, there are a ton of other bugs that would be considered pretty bad in almost any other release
Isn't one of the major themes in his stories that "your dad is always right"
Yeah, which Ian Flynn responded to early with Knuckles telling his dad off and, not much later, killing-off the character. Supposedly Penders modeled Knuckle's dad's behavior and how Knuckles responded to his dad with deference on his own relationship with his father, btw.
