like so many other games with online capabilities and modding, playing unmodded games gets boring after a while
that said, nearly all modded characters that aren't recolors are, well, much more capable of going fast than the vanilla characters are
regardless, I'd recommend adding Robo-Hood(a playable SRB2 enemy), Flicky, Eggette, S3 Sonic(a.k.a Sonic 3 Sonic), Snolf, Feels the Rabbit(a.k.a. prototype sonic), and possibly Honey as sonic characters that aren't OP
if you don't mind breaking immersion a bit, you could also add Kirby, Spyro, and possibly the Half-Life scientists if those guys are to your taste
you could also try out one of the many custom gametype mods, such as rollout knockout(basically mario party 2's bumper balls), warioware(in 3D!), chaos mode, & battlemod
and finally, don't add more than 1 level pack at a time unless you know exactly what the fuck you're doing; just restart the server with a different level pack if you wanna use a different one
