The Best Design for a Character Ever

Sonic and Knuckles are technically separate products. There's no way to play them separately in Sonic Origins, for example. I'm afraid it is controversial because you haven't taken into account Kirby. It's sad to me that you can't mince them up in the game. You should be able to. But if that's how they're presenting the games as a current sort of timeline, unless it's very relevant, I think we should stick to considering them one thing. If you had to choose one way or the other way, then then presenting them as one game is correct. No pun intended.
