DISAPPEAR!
All the characters would get redesigns. That's probably not what you meant, but I'm saying it anyway.
I think personality-wise, they're all at a good place right now. I just find the modern designs of the characters to be outdated, bland, and unexpressive, which should definitely be facilitating a total redesign. (Hot take, I know.)
Hell, maybe I'd reboot the entire series because of how messy the lore is as a whole.

100 percent sigma acgm64 approved :)

Eternity in an hour
Sonic:
I'd make him into less of a "hero" character and more of a chaotic neutral character with well meaning intentions who goes on adventures for the thrill of it. Effectively an energetic free spirit and dare devil who craves the thrill of adventure, reminiscent of a cross between his portrayal in the 90's and in the Adventure games. I'd tone down his prodigal portrayal massively, with his eventual successes often being hard earned rather than always a walk in the park for him. However, even when having to work hard he'd always have a smile on his face as he'd still be having the time of his life enjoying the thrill of adventure, especially when he has friends by his side to share these thrills with.
Tails:
I'd lean into his nerdy engineer persona and give him a bit of a nerdier, dorky accent. Ditch the insecurities and have him embrace who he is more, and generally have more confidence in himself. He'd still look up to Sonic as his hero, but rather than feeling like he needs to rely on Sonic he'd lean more into his own strengths to act side by side as equals rather than being content with being the sidekick. He'd be the one with more of a heroic mindset who helps to keep Sonic from getting himself into trouble or causing trouble for those who don't deserve it. I'd lean much more heavily into the two of them sharing a brotherlike bond with Sonic acting on his own much less as a result.
Knuckles:
Lean more into the culture shock element in his character. He's extremely knowledgeable about things relating to the Master Emerald, Chaos Emeralds, and Angel Island in general. However, outside of this familiar space he is awkward and prone to both experiencing and causing misunderstandings, often leading others to incorrectly assume him to be stupid. However, he should be strong and confident and not really all that bothered by what other people think of him, and steadfastly loyal to his duty as guardian of the Master Emerald. Even his friendship to Sonic and the others is beneath the safety of the Master Emerald in his list of priorities, and he's not afraid to clash with them if it's for the sake of his sworn duty. So long as their goals are aligned however, he'd effectively function as the "older brother" of the main trio, and would match Tails' general intellect with his own vast reserves of wisdom.
Amy:
I'd probably change her up the most. I'd lean more into her origins as a tarot card fortune teller and give her a more mysterious side. She'd always know more than she lets on to others and would always be able to point the others in the right direction to their goals whenever their paths cross. She's be a generally less outwardly emotional character, but would still be very emotional internally until pushed to the point of her emotions leaking out. She'd have a variety of strange and mystical abilities, most of which she doesn't even know about or have full control over, and would always carry around her hammer as something to fall back on when using her powers doesn't work out as intended. She would still have a crush on Sonic, but would be less outwardly obvious about it and would attempt to swoon him more subtly with her attempts ultimately always falling flat due to Sonic's obliviousness.
Shadow:
I'd lean away from the hardcore edge and make him a more emotionally mature and level headed character. I'd also lean more into his employment with G.U.N. He'd still function as Sonic's rival, but the rivalry would be more in Sonic's head rather than something actively engaged with by Shadow. Shadow's general personality would be much more adult and professional. He'd keep the trait of not having much patience, though still more than Sonic, and would be very businesslike and straight to the point. He'd be very blunt and unafraid to say what he's thinking, but not to the point of speaking without thinking first. He'd view Sonic and the others as annoying children who always get in his way without considering the consequences of their actions. His intentions would ultimately be for the greater good, but that would sometimes involve him having to make difficult choices that aren't so morally black and white as Sonic and the others would like to believe, which would often put them at odds with each other. Unknown to them would be the fact that Shadow is indirectly looking after them and their safety, in part because he'd never admit it out loud. His core motivation would be to ensure that what happened to Maria doesn't happen to any other children ever again so that they have a chance to experience the happy life that she didn't, but he'd keep this fact to himself with only Rouge being aware of it.
Rouge:
Shadow's assigned partner agent working for G.U.N. I'd lean away from her thieving tendencies and lean more into her being a covert/stealth ops agent tasked primarily with gathering intel. She'd also function as Shadow's operator over radio transmissions. Like Shadow, she'd have a more adult personality, understanding that the morality of the world isn't so straightforward as Sonic and the others believe. She would often find herself at odds with Knuckles in particular due to trying to steal the Master Emerald. Not out of any sort of greed, but to bring it in to G.U.N. for studying. However, she'd also act as something of an "older sister" to the group, acting outwardly more gently towards them than Shadow.
Eggman:
I'd make him less of a comedic character and lean into him being a more intimidating and sinister presence that commands fear and respect to contrast Sonic's light hearted and fun loving nature. Ditch the subtle loneliness and fatherlike tendencies towards his creations and lean harder into the mad scientist theme. This guy would be a genuine menace the likes of which even G.U.N. can't take down on their own. Out of everyone, it would be only Sonic and Shadow who show no traces of fear towards him whatsoever, and who most consistently are able to thwart his plans.
Metal Sonic:
A cold and merciless machine acting as the antithesis to everything that makes Sonic who he is, but still possessing something reminiscent of a soul. Metal Sonic would ally with Eggman not simply out of being a programmed puppet, but rather out of its own free will. However, Metal would also possess its own dark ambitions, which could on occasion lead it to defy its masters orders in favor of advancing its own agenda. Metal Sonic would be the one thing Sonic has come to fear and even outright hate, especially due to the mechanical menace being the one thing that Eggman throws at him that has a consistently decent shot of actually badly hurting him.
