Sonic is a nobody when it comes to the outside perception of video games. Some mums may know it because they bought it for their kids, but Sonic has no redeeming values whatsoever. Pikachu (who can't rap), Mario and Pac-Man (who can't rap either) are well-recognised.

I said Lara Croft would be possible, albeit not optimal, simply because most people know her as "that video game chick" or "that chick from the Jolie movie" and she's a video game milestone not only because she's the first big female protagonist.

I quote from the pedia of wiki:

"Critics consider Lara Croft a significant game character in popular culture. She holds six  Guinness World Records, has a strong fan following, and is among the first video game characters to be successfully adapted to film. [2]  Lara Croft is also considered a  sex symbol, one of the earliest in the industry to achieve widespread attention. The character's influence in the industry has been a point of contention among critics; viewpoints range from a positive agent of change in video games to a negative role model for young girls. [3] [4] [5]"

Sonic's value is much more video game endemic, as what he did was push the limits of game processing, allowing new gaming speeds. What he is now is a dead franchise with desperate shitty games and a r34 fodder that outcast weirdos with disgusting fetishes wank their little wiener to.
