How difficult are Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, CD, 3, & Knuckles to beat compared to, say, Super Mario Bros. 1-3?

Mario 1 & 2 (lost levels) are definitely harder than the classic Sonic titles. Sonic 1 can be sorta hard at times but in a bull crap Mario 2 sort of way. The other Sonic games simple enough, the last 2 emerald bonus stages are tough.

You have to play the special stages to win continues

Even if you don't want to bother with 100 percenting the game with emerald hunting, you definitely need to consider ring collecting a core aspect of the gameplay unless you're just some pro speedrunner fuck who can go the whole game without a single ring

I recently replayed Sonic 1 and 2. 2 is significantly easier, giving you extra continues and lives playing casually. Sonic 1 I actually game overed in Scrap Brain. Extra lives and continues are very stingy in that game.

Continues are earned in Sonic 1 via getting a set number of rings in Special stages, in Sonic 2 you get them via reach a good score in an act. Finishing a stage with a low time and lost of rings usually resulted in a continue.

>> No.6477159

They're generally easier in my opinion. Getting the emeralds is hard though, particularly in Sonic 1 and CD.

>> No.6477193

Classic Sonic is overall much easier then classic Mario IMO. Also much shorter.

very first one, if you don't make a single move when it starts your momentum will cause you to fall right into the room with the emerald

you'll have to put some work in for the others

They're easy peasy. Especially 2 and 3&K because it introduces Sonic's best tool, the spindash.

Memorization games.

>> No.6479512

2 and maybe 1 are the only ones with noticeable bite. Especially 2, because it's so fucking unfinished there is at least one 99% guaranteed ring loss and a whole string of others you'd basically have to already know was coming.

>> No.6481734

Sonic games are among the easier platformers out there; not quite kirby level but close. The first can give you a bit of trouble towards the end but every other game in the series is extremely lenient. The ring system makes it so your only deaths are pits or being crushed, and you have more than enough lives and continues to trial and error your way through those moments. The bosses in particular (probably one of the weakest aspects of the series) are entirely freebies

I remember when Mania came out and /v/ was complaining about it being too difficult, namely the boss fights. I was floored. My first run through the game I think I finished with around 24 lives. And that's not me being 'hardcore' or touting how good I am, classic sonic is just incredibly simple and I dont understand how people struggle with it

Almost. There are some female ones from the past that got to be naked or topless/bottomless without problem. Others not because guys can show chest but girls don't. Either way, things got lewder and more degenerate in the future.

Well, they are basically humans with fur, so most of the anatomy is human-like. A lot of fur can cover a penis easier than boobs.
