I've noticed the Summer of Sonic site, and that's a great idea, but I would've thought Sega would be doing something major to celebrate this milestone. Perhaps not on the scale on the 10th anniversary but *something*! They're keeping it rather low key bar the 15th anniversary logo on Racers. If anybody could prove me wrong, that'd be great.
Why would someone celebrate 15 years as a milestone anyway?

It's a milestone, but I've been thinking that myself. Now 20 years is a biggy to me, and I have bet that Sonic will easily last that long.
This makes me somewhat curious -- does anyone know how long Mario has been in the game?
Well, the original Donkey Kong was released in 1981,
making Mario 25 years old.
But he was Jumpman back then, not Mario.

BEGONE.
It's pretty cool, actually - having the same Birthday date as teh Hedgie. { or thereabouts 😛 }
Yeah, okay - it's not like it's 'teh Big Thing' but for an uber fan like myself, it's an excuse to whack on all the Sonic game's I have, put some Sonic Remixes on the CD-Player, and eat some @#%$ cake. ![:]](https://www.lighthead.net/misc/mofo/smilies/biggrinshaded.gif)
WHOOOOO, I can hardly wait, lol...
Well there is a Sonic 15th Anniversary T-Shirt to win on the Sonic Channel. Apart from that its just Riders and Sonic 2k6. I think Wild Fire will miss this year.
Mind you I might be getting a DS Lite. Released on the 23rd June in Europe.
Then a month and a day after that is my birthday.

Eat some WHAT!? THERE'S SO MANY CAKES I'M THINKING OF FROM THAT!
Didn't Mario celebrate his 20th anniversary last year?
John - there's Rivals, too.
SILENCE! I HAVE NO TIME FOR TECHNICALITIES.

Doing somehting like this?
I meant for the 23rd like the 10th Anniversary boxset they did 5 years ago 
I agree it's not a major milestone in comparison to the 10th, but it's still an achievement when you consider the cut-throat industry.
In regards to Mario, i picked up a 20th anniversary postcard where 4 or so Mario games were released such as the dancing game, football, tennis etc. Nothing terribly major.
By 'Nothing terribly major' you mean 'He did the same stuff he always does.' You have to wonder, with so many talents what's Mario doing as a plummer and princess rescuer *clicks* Ohhh, that pervert.
