In 2012, Ken Balough announced that Big the Cat would be retired from the franchise for the time being as they could not find a good use for the character, and all things that they already tried didn't work out for him. This however did not stop Big from making cameo appearances in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, having a trophy in the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. 4, having a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, being playable in the mobile games Sonic Runners and Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, and even making a full appearance in LEGO Dimensions and Team Sonic Racing. Big was eventually reintroduced to the mainline Sonic games in Sonic Frontiers.

Sorry to have made an edit to this twice, there was some more info that I forgot to add in the first edit.

Sometimes I think that I should maybe rephrase this submission entirely one of these days in terms of Big the Cat's "retirement" and eventual comeback to the mainline Sonic games and Sonic Prime, provided the right way to describe it can be found.
