It's very possible that we won't get a Big-focused world in Prime since he hasn't really been framed as a "main" character in the same way the others have, but at the same time, I feel like that almost makes the potential for a world about him all the more interesting.
Big is definitely part of Sonic's friend group, but he's not part of "the team," so to speak. He's off fishing while everyone else fights Eggman, and there's no expectation for him to join, either. It's kinda sweet, but in a narrative sense, this puts him in the background.
But he's also the first character we see outside of Sonic, the first that he finds in New Yoke, the first that he thinks to mention when going over his friends... so I do think he's meant to have some kind of importance to the story overall.
What's worth noting about all of these instances, though, is that Sonic always mentions Big in conjunction with Froggy, like they're inseparable in his mind. Which is cute! But it's also representative of how Big is viewed by fans, no? We all remember him for his various quests to find Froggy.
And we all tend to think of him as the Cameo Guy, too; he's just Always There, totally at peace regardless of the situation, off to the sidelines more often than not, but we love him for it.
But why do viewers' perceptions of him matter? Well, keep in mind, this Sonic tends to view his life like a TV show already. He opens the show with chipper narration about his status quo, and he describes his friends to each other like he's reciting character descriptions, almost:
And the show has an established pattern of keeping us in Sonic's perspective to the point of leaving out crucial details if it's something he forgot or didn't pay attention to the first time, like Shadow's entire presence in the first episode.
So, if we find Big to be lovable but ultimately not very important in the grand scheme of things, chances are that could be a hint to how Sonic views him, as well. As a "background character" in his friend group, one that'll be there no matter what but isn't strongly impacted by whatever he and the team are getting up to.
Which is why I really want there to be a world or at least an episode dedicated to Sonic's dynamic with Big, because I think forcing him to confront the perception he has of him would be really interesting. Especially since this is the first version of them to be particularly close friends with each other - they always gave off "positive acquaintance" vibes in canon.
Like, if they want to do a "Sonic takes his friends for granted" plot, it'd be a huge missed opportunity to not talk about the one friend he seems to take for granted the most.
The "whole band," huh, Sonic? You sure you aren't forgetting someone there?
Yeah he's encountered that world's version of Big before, but he sure doesn't know where he went and doesn't seem too concerned with finding him. not what I'd call "together"
That said I did find this split second frame of Sonic looking sad after Big ran off and thought it deserved to be shared
I may be encouraging his perceptions to be challenged but never let it be said that Sonic doesn't care about his friends, Big included

Whet in the good golly gawd is Seb going to bless us with in the next coming months or year????? He’s got the hair again! He’s looking like beefy 2016 Sebastian 🥵.
I’m rolling in it. Loving it. Salivating.
The ketchup bottle knows what's up, lovely! It knows! 🔥
Thick thighs of betrayal made for riding.
Sorry. Don't mind me thirsting. 😂 The look is what we deserve and I'm excited for the images, gifs, and inspiration we'll get from Thunderbolts.
Love and thanks. ❤️
