1 is what I grew up with, so it's special.
2 is the one I enjoy playing most now...
3 is likely the better one *objectively*

If you want to claim that there are a dozen or so NES platformers better than Sonic 1 in 1991 It's fine, but if you take the whole NES library at the time and add Sonic 1 to it, it'd be on every single "Top 10 Platformers" list for sure, there being a few platformers on a similar level and/or better than Sonic in 1991 doesn't make Sonic 1 "nothing special" or "average", that's the point I'm making.

>spring yard zone
has some speed and lots of fun pinball platform
>scrap brain zone
hard and fair level that feels appropriate to end
>chemical plant zone
incredibly fast and exhilirating to play even now
>wing fortress zone
nice atmosphere and feels like proper end game
>casino night zone
decently fast and cozy level to play overall
>oil ocean zone
a bit frustrating at times though it has flow still
>metropolis zone
similar to scrap brain as a fair challenge to end it
>carnival night zone
a bit long for me though that goes for all of 3k

On the topic of shaders, does anyone else struggle with 'em from game to game? Like, I'll get it to look perfect after some tinkering, just how I want, and then when I try a different game it looks a bit worse, but still good, and then in another game it'll look awful or borderline unplayable.

Damn, it's a pain.

I knew we'd get the "Sonic was never good" or "Sonic's fundamentally flawed" kind of posts I always see around here, but I didn't think it'd be as early as the 1st post... Sonic haters click on all Sonic threads faster than Sonic fans at this point, it's genuinely hilarious. Sonic was always superb.

Advance 1 if you prefer the Genesis titles over all others. Advance 2 if you enjoy the sense of speed from the boost style from Rush/Unleashed and a few other titles. Advance 3 if you want the whole partner mechanic. All of them are good and you can't go wrong with any of them, so go for it!

1. These games being "not very good" isn't a fact, it's your opinion, that most people don't share. If you ask most casual video game fans from today, or more dedicated video game fans from the 90's about Sonic, they'll likely tell you that Sonic was great and they love him, most people at least.

2. This idea that Sonic only got high scores due to SEGA influence has no backing, it's common to hear stories from 90's kids about wanting to own a Genesis just for sonic despite being Nintendo kids, just because they played at a friend's place, most people liked playing Sonic and you know it.

3. Rvery fanbase has cocky people that are quite insufferable, a lot of people on /vr/ hate tendies and snoys, why? Because they are also a pain, all big fanbases are bound to have annoying people because if the fanbase is big, even if just 1% of people suck, it's still going to be a lot of people.

4. Yes, a lot of Sonic fans are autistic, it's quite odd that there's such a correlation, but there clearly is, but they can't help if they're autistic and genuinely hating them for it is just mean. Also, a lot of said autism can be funny at times, so why not take it well instead of getting upset?

I don't have a single nice thing to say about him, his horrible video games, his tantrum over Americans asking to use the NiGHTS engine, or any Sonic game released after Sonic Jam except for Mania which he had nothing to do with. I'm just glad he's finally done and we can move on since Balan Wonderworld flopped harder than anything I've ever seen and he's said it was his last chance.
