Sky Fortress for the best, probably one of the best tests of platforming skills of all time.
And I agree Chemical Plant is the worst, because of how easily the loose floors can cause a cheap death.

I guess I like the Death Egg the best, it's an imposing super robot Scopedog. As for least favourite, that drill car from Emerald Hill Zone was pretty lame.

Best: Oil Ocean
Worst: Metropolis Zone

FUCK YOU

Best boss is definitely metal sanic.

Worst is metropolis.

Best: pic related
Worst: Death Egg Robot with Knuckles

Man, Metropolis Zone boss was such a chump in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Insta-shield/ability to fly tears him up.

worst: metropolis
best: metal sonic

Casino Night - best
Oil Ocean - worst

>>1188654
Actually, the one in Sonic 2 is Sliver Sonic. Metal Sonic is the one in Sonic CD and the one in Sonic 3/Sonic & Knuckles is Mecha Sonic.

Yes, I do have too much free time on my hands.

best: silver sonic
worst: eggmobile (has to be the easiest boss all-time)
sonic 2 has shit bosses all-around

>>1189012
oh shit i change my answer to

best: casino night.

so much fun for some odd reason

>>1189005
>Death Egg Robot with Knuckles
Hahaha, I've been there. Seemed like such a good idea from the debug level select screen.

>>1189017
Nope. The one is Sonic 2 is also Mecha Sonic. Silver Sonic is just a fan name for it.
This smug mother fucker from the 8-bit version of Sonic 2 is Silver Sonic though.

>>1189027
I assume you're talking about that boss from Sonic & Knuckles that's like an eye at the top of some pillar with a bunch of balls that spin around, and Knuckles can't reach it?

I'm talking about playing Knuckles the Enchilada in Sonic 2, and fighting the boss in this image.
It's pretty much complete bullshit.
>Knuckles doesn't jump high enough to safely attack the boss above its spiky hands
>has to wait for the boss to be bending down to attack it safely, which only happens a small handful of times per cycle of the boss's pattern, and some of those times, like when the boss is firing its hands at you, are risky, so you spend a fuckload of time just standing around
>that glitch where you can often fall through the boss into his spiky hands when you land a hit, rather than being bounced back away from it like normal, which happens when the boss bends down

>>1189058
>fighting the boss in this image
>forgot to include image
Dammit.

>>1189058
attack him from behind
not hard

>>1189071
I remember attacking him from behind being much harder than attacking him from the front. I think the area you could hit was smaller, and you had to worry about fire and bombs and stuff.

>>1189075
very small jumps at his butt (you can get 9 hits, 10 if you play perfect)
when he flies up go to his front and get the final hits

>>1189058
Yeah, I thought you meant Red Eye.

Death Egg Robo gives me trouble with any character. I know I could take if I took my time and waited for it to dip but I must go fast

>>1189017

I thought the robot Sonics were referred to as Metallix, or was that just in the comics?

best = casino night
worst = metropolis

>>1189487
Yeah, Metallix is strictly a comic thing.

Worst boss is without a doubt chemical plant zone. Knock all your rings out, then you uncontrollably fall in the water and die. Favorite is probably the second wood zone, where he flings arrows out of those totem poles and you use them as stepping stones to reach him.

>>1190151
There's no excuse for getting hit by the Chemical Plant Zone boss when ducking makes you invulnerable to its only attack.

>>1190141
The metal sonic from S&K was by far the best design, though.

>>1190172
I agree completely.

Metal Sonic is still pretty great though. I love his jet engine body.

>>1190228
I like his design, but I don't know why he's so much more popular when he literally kills himself in his big debut fight. You don't really have to attack him or trick him or anything, he just sorta dies. Mecha Sonic is like the fucking terminator in his game, you have to kill him 5 times or so if you're playing as Knuckles.

>>1190162
If you don't just jump onto Robotnik's machine AS SOON as he comes out, you're doing it wrong. You can just jump on top of him towards the back and bounce 8 times in a row and bounce back toward the center where the tiles don't move. Just make sure on your 8th hit to hold left so you bounce onto the safe platform. Done it this way since I was a kid.

>>1190272
do not attempt this with tails

>>1190228

>>1190272
What? I'm just talking about silly glitches with that boss. Ducking makes you invincible to his attack.
I'll try and make a gif of dumb glitches with that boss.

>>1190272
thats pretty much every sonic 2 boss

>>1189005
>Sonic 3 and Knuckles
>Metropolis Zone

>>1190342
But I mean all 8 of them before he even retracts the first time.

>>1190448

>>1190281
>Playing Sonic 2 with Sonic and Tails

>>1189028
definitely the cutest boss of the series though.
If we're including the 8-bit Sonic 2, Underground Zone is definitely the worst boss

>>1190318
That took a while. Here's a gif of the dumb quirks I'm aware of.

>>1190470
Tails was fucking awesome when you had a second controller. Anybody could just drop in.

>>1190615
holy shit i've been playing this game for 18 years and i never knew that fuck

>>1190657
But it raises the ring limits in the special stages substantially, and when he's AI controlled he usually makes you fall through bosses, taking damage or dying in the process.

>>1190657
This is so true and a huge part of what made Sonic 2 fun. It's sad that there aren't people around to just drop in like when we were kids.

>>1190615
Wow, I'm going to test this later.

>>1191545
I wish more modern games had something like this

Sonic 3 became awesome when you and a bro could sync up jumps and lifts with Tails. It was the ultimate way to burn through the game. Also, Tails underwater was a godsend

This fucking song is glorious.
