I wouldn’t mind a fishing Big/chao minigame with improved controls actually. Zelda shows fishing can be fun.

I am so glad they never brought this dumb thing back into future Sonic games

I felt Big’s fishing was easier to figure out then the famed “barrel of doom.”
 
On Sega’s online store, they’re actually selling mugs of the “barrel of doom.”

@Awkward Segway
 
It’s the barrel of doom again!
 
Oh why!

 
Now Sunset feels Arin’s pain on his playthrough.

@Background Pony #2D3E  
Perhaps, but as I said it’s pretty short anyway.

@Beau Skunky  
Then at the very least, have Big’s story be completely optional in the remake. Don’t force players to go through Big’s fishing gameplay just to unlock the final story with Super Sonic.

@Awkward Segway  
But I like Big and Froggy…
 
Plus I think that’d be a li’l unfair, as Cream & Cheese didn’t meet Sonic & Co. yet.

@Background Pony #2D3E  
I’d want them to replace Big and Froggy with Cream and Cheese.

@Background Pony #2D3E  
I think I’d rather they keep it, and just make it more fun, and redo the fishing controls completely. Big the cat’s story, I feel brings a li’l comical relief to the game honestly.
 
Besides, his story is pretty short anyway, and I’d rather keep game content, rather then lose it.
 
Though, I would love a SA remake.

@Beau Skunky  
Oh yeah the fishing gameplay in SA1 is just straight up god awful. It’s just not fun at all. Literally everyone hates Big’s fishing gameplay. If Sega ever decides to remake Sonic Adventure 1 into modern consoles, I say they should just get rid of Big’s gameplay story entirely. I mean it’s not like Big’s story have any important plot points in the game, especially when it comes to Froggy since Gamma’s story explains that Froggy swallows a chaos emerald & Chaos’ tail. They can still keep Big in the remake as an NPC, just get rid of his story campaign entirely.

@Background Pony #2D3E  
Yeah, the fishing controls take alot of getting used too, and are oftentimes a main criticism about the game. Probably why future games like “Sonic Heroes” just had Big kick ass instead of go fishing.

@Beau Skunky  
It does in the character instruction menu at the character select screen, but tells you in a very vague way that’s easy to ignore, & even then pushing down on the control stick doesn’t always work since there are a few times where Froggy can just let go of the bait whenever it wants.

@Awkward Segway  
Really? Doesn’t the game tell you how to do it somewhere?
 
That said, I admit the fishing stages were not quite as fun as say fishing in Zelda, or Animal Crossing. Simple is better.  
At least, his story was the shortest though, and regardless I still kinda like Big the Cat.

It took me years to figure out that you were supposed to push down on the control stick when Froggy bit the hook.
