Sonic CD - I used to think people called out CD as being the best Sonic game because they knew a lot of people missed out on it and were flaunting the fact many still have like they're part of some club that's got the drop on an obvious secret. I owned Sonic 3 before the &K and remembered being surprised at how easily I had beaten it and also, as already mentioned - why does Sonic looked cross-eyed? If I had to pick between 3 and &K, &K wins it for me - I found the levels much more interesting, especially Mushroom Hill zone - how do people not like it? Reminds me of a cold Autumn day, pumpkin pie and a nice hot cup of tea. Sonic 3&K - What a powerhouse of a game, incredibly rich in every aspect. and a Sonic pillow (which I thought I had won at a Laser Tron arcade but my parents revealed they had to slip the kid behind the counter a 20 because I was that fixated about it and pathetically no where close in tokens). I will however mention that this is the game that made me as a kid obsessed with Sonic and bought a Sonic shirt. Everything about Sonic 2 is fantastic - no need for me to go into detail. Sonic really does appeal to autistic kids, though. Just the same game that I already found boring but much longer. Attaching the Sonic 3 cart does nothing for me because it's just like playing both carts separately, except I'm not. But it still plays like simple ol' Sonic. Even less colorful than Sonic 3 with outright horrible music done by some asshole. The graphical design is awful throughout, though. Some of the effects are cool like the water surface but that's about all of the compliments I can give it other than some 3-layer parallax. The graphics are also less sleek and less stylized. It sounds more like an American Genesis game might. The instrument set seems more muffled and less vibrant. Why is he cross-eyed? Some of the musical melodies are good but I don't like how the music sounds now. And let's not forget the gawd-awful spastastic stage design which feels like it was done by an overenthusiastic 12-year-old in a Sonic level editor.

There are also some issues with the scrolling hiccuping and not remaining silky-smooth at all times. Also, the title screen looks broken because it looks like the D in CD is about to fall off for no reason. It has the spin dash and no tails, but it still has 3 stages per zone. I have always hated this character with a passion and it just makes Sonic feel like a children's game through and through with his pussy-ass presence. I think they fixed the 3 stages per zone thing and they added the spin dash.

The best bonus stages even though I never cared about the chaos emeralds (the game didn't really give me reason to). It's just so simple and there isn't enough variety. Super peel out is cool looking but not very useful. Would have liked to see an updated sprite for Sonic like he had in 2 Would have liked to see more unique zones instead of the same ones with palette changes. Sonic CD (No nostalgia only played as adult) Great graphics and music once again. My favorite Sonic sprite, love all the edge and idle animation. You spend to much time in Metropolis zone compared to the others making it drag (Take away one one of the acts of this zone and sub-in Hidden Palace). Didn't do enough to expand on Sonic 1 a couple more great zones would have done the work (Hidden Palace zone would have been lovely). Levels I think are to short in some cases. Sonic 2 (Played a bunch as a kid) Vibrant graphics, great music, nice addition of 2P mode even of the screen only follows Sonic. I think it could have used one more unique stage and act 3 on Scrap Brain Zone is a letdown. Sonic 1 (Played a bunch as a kid) I like it's greater emphasis on platforming compared to Sonic 2. It is long but never dull or dragging for me which is rare for a game of it's length. The length of the game is the biggest reason it's #1 for me. It's great having different play styles and paths for each character. Sonic 3 and Knuckles (No nostalgia only played as adult) I love the level design,music, and stage length.
