Is Sonic the most resilient character ever?

[Puppyroach]

What makes me so angry with Sega is how they could create one of the most likable characters ever in video gaming and then put him in so many shitty games! Had they handled him like Nintendo handled Mario, Sega would still be in the console business. In my view, Sonic was always more interesting than Mario and actually had personality, yet Sega only seemed to think he had no value unless he was only in games where you run really fast without very little actual control over the character. They made some fantastic platformers but even in those, they failed to utilize Sonic to his fullest extent. And the way they treated his costars is even more tragic.
