Sonia and Manic are also not gonna be in the game no. As much as I love them UwU.

Hmm the second question is hard to answer. But for simplicity’s sake I’ll say we have one big bad villain. In reality it’s a lot more complicated than that. It’s important to keep an open mind and heart because not everything is always as it seems. I mean technically the protagonist has the potential to be a villain. After all you work for eggman in the game. ;3
