It was not the most compelling storyline.
Ugly Sonic has a hilarious cameo in the Disney+ film ‘Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers’.
The films andKnucklesTV series handlethe CG-animated animal charactersaccurately.

Wade Whipple only appears in a short cameo scene inSonic 3.
With the human characters taking a backseat,the quality ofSonic the Hedgehog 3vastly improved.
The filmmakers now have the opportunity to further move away from the human characters inSonic the Hedgehog 4.
Depicting Sonic acting more independently without Tom and Maddie works as part of his journey of maturity.
Why not explore Team Sonic leaving Earth entirely and discoveringentirely new worlds?
That would indicate a step in the right direction forthe entire franchise.

And yeah, we don’t need to see Rachel, Randall, and Wade ever again.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the sequel to the 2022 comedy-adventure movie that featured the Blue Blur and his companions on an adventure to stop Dr. Robotnik from taking over the world. The new film sees the new antagonist Shadow the Hedgehog, arriving to cause trouble for the newly formed trio of heroes, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, as they adjust to their earthly lives.
