Shadow for sure. Knuckles next, then Sonic.

i dont think shadow would count as an original. i mean he didnt show up till dreamcast.

no, no, no, no, no... Don't ruin it for me. :P

lol im sorry

I would say Sonic, but Sega ruined him with a lame voice and "cool" attitude.

Orginal characters I'd go with.....Doctor Robotnik ...but again they screwed him up by changing his name to Eggman...WTF!?

I hate all the new "cool" characters. Don't get me started on Shadow.

The reason they changed to Eggman was something about Robotnik being a rather offensive word in some country.

What's wrong with Shadow! lol

Don't worry Aryon, I am in your corner on this one.

As he said, whats wrong with Shadow?

What's right with shadow?

I mean it's cool if you like him but as far as I can see, Sega needed something cutting edge on the cool factor and made Shadow and failed, I mean First Shadow cuz he is a black hedgehog and now Sliver because he is sliver, whats next? Multicolor the Hedgehog? Rainbow?

Big the cat is also dumb and lame.

i love shadow, i just dont think hes considered a classic one... but he is friggin awesome... and he has the koolest shoes.

I like shadow because I like the evil look.

and why wouldn't I like the coolest character?
