Oh yeah, all things Sonic

Sonic was always more recognizable, the 90s and 00s all had Sonic cartoons basically at any given time, so even kids who didn't own a Sega console were familiar with him just as some cartoon here, plus the early 90s was Sonic was very popular, arguably the most popular game character for a few years....while Mega Man was pretty much fading away. He had that Ruby Spears cartoon, but I don't remember anyone really caring about it and plus, it aired right when classic MM was pretty much becoming a relic of the 80s and Mega Man X was becoming the games anybody actually played if they even wanted MM at all.

I mean, Mega Man never even got to the level of "slap him on products to sell them" popularity like Sonic did, there were Sonic gum (multiple kinds actually), Sonic Happy Meals, Sonic pasta, etc
