Yeah but certain memes get rejected, and called out as forced memes.
Only impactful memes really stick on people's minds and then become memes by repetition of others.
Most successful memes start without the intention of being memes. Someone makes a post, or pic, then many years later it might be dug out and made popular by another anonymous person. It's how a lot of actual viral memes start.

I love Marble Garden Zone and absolutely don’t think it feels negative or whatever this silly meme is suggesting, but I can’t deny that that screenshot is cropped in such a way that it quite subtly suggests something is wrong. Where is Sonic? Why is this part of the island so bare? What lies yonder in those trees, and in the dark corners of these abandoned temples? This whole negative aura/personalized copy meme is silly, for sure, but I have to give the zoomers credit for getting me to think about old games like S3&K and SM64 in new ways.

That’s probably true with regards to the meme, but honestly, there were many aspects of SM64 I found eerie from 1996 to whenever I last played it in earnest. To name a few places that I found unsettling, in varying degrees, decades before the SM64 iceberg meme:
>Behind the Waterfall
>Hazy Maze Cave (in particular the underground lake and surrounding area)
>Castle Courtyard backyard, and the hallway leading up to it where Big Boo appears
>Princess’ Secret Slide (endless darkness surrounds it)
and last, but not least
> Big Boo’s Haunt (this goes beyond the merry-go-round—I was convinced my cartridge might be haunted because sometimes Big Boo’s laugh would be slowed down, not to Bowser speed, but to something closer to The Joker; decades later I would learn this is a rare glitch that happens on occasion)
The fact that I was involved with that ridiculous late 90s search for Luigi in SM64 didn’t help things. When you spend a lot of time performing repetitious actions in the game’s dark, isolated places, you’re bound to get spooked.

I know OP is a dumb cocksucking redditor but as a SNES kid who only really got into the Genesis/Mega Drive in the early 2000's through emulation I feel it does have a darker/creepier/grittier atmosphere overall, even on multiplatform games, and even when compared to SNES atmospheric games.
SNES soundtracks are much more harmonic while on GEN even happy tunes are grittier and sometimes just feel kind of off, same for the visuals.

Maybe it's Sega's vision or their corporate culture at the time; lots of music and visuals from their 80's arcades give me strong feelings of nostalgia for I don't know what, or that I'm missing something important I can't remember, like these musics amd visuals have been with me all my life even though they haven't. I feel a lot of it with Sonic's soundtrack too. Not even larping or schizoposting, it's true.

[Anonymous No.7056798]

Hear me out guys, Carnival Night actually does feel surreal to me, and not in the obvious way.

Everywhere else we visit on Angel Island is either in ruins, wilderness, or obviously a creation of Eggman. Knuckle's people appear to be long gone, some of the ruins are haunted with ghosts, and the Sky Sanctuary is filled with obviously lost technology. Every game after this also establishes Angel Island to be uninhabited.

So what the fuck is Carnival Night? I guess you could say it's one of Eggman's creations but... there's obviously a city back there, right? Those can't be for his workers, he just uses robots.

Every other Sonic before this had either a Casino or City level between the ruins and wilderness, but this is the only established in an area that's otherwise totally abandoned. It's weird.

[Anonymous No.7056874]

>>7056798
That always bothered me too. Every other Zone fits in perfectly with the game’s deserted island/extinct civilization theme but CNZ. Why would something like that exist there?

[Anonymous No.7056898]

>>7056798
I figured it's a giant power station for the Launch Base that Eggman made into a carnival, because he's just a great big manchild who has to make everything as big and attention-grabbing as possible.

[Anonymous No.7057003]

>>7055613
That's because of the setting. Sonic 1 and 2 were set on the same island. Sonic CD was on Little Planet, and Chaotix was in the Newtrogic High Zone. Sonic 3 takes place on Angel Island. The different vibe Sonic 3 gives off compared to its predecessors is a good thing since it helps to distinguish the location.

Well-said anon. It’s funny but I sometimes think that kids’ approach to games can be a better way to take in art than how adults often approach games, their imagination makes them interpret it more like how one would interpret a painting. There’s just none of the pretentiousness that comes with being an adult trying to analyze a piece, it’s just a pure emotive art experience.

>I feel it does have a darker/creepier/grittier atmosphere overall
That's probably because you aren't viewing them as intended over composite, so you're mistaking the heavy use of dithering to blend colors and create transparencies that were beyond the hardware itself for "grit".
>SNES soundtracks are much more harmonic while on GEN even happy tunes are grittier and sometimes just feel kind of off
There's two answers on that. Either A) Because the only thing the yamaha fart modulator can do well is miscellaneous toilet sounds, and grungy guitar. Or B) That very few developers properly utilized GEMS to compose music, instead opting for lazy conversions that all sounded terrible compared to the SNES.

Exactly. And if I may add to that, I think it's not so much that we adults analyze games for the sake of analyzing them, but we fall into a habit of deconstructing everything in our minds in an analytical, but cynical way. We begin seeing polygons and artificial boundaries everywhere and lose sight of the virtual world that we're in. So when I go back to playing old 3D games like Super Mario 64 I have to consciously try to clear my mind of that sort of thinking so that I can allow myself to be immersed in the game world like when I was a child.

[Anonymous No.7057541]

Sonic 3 and Knuckles as well always felt more pleasant to me than the first two, namely because the detail in the stages had more of a "realistic" quality while even things like trees and flowers in 1-2 seem like artificial metallic constructs

[Anonymous No.7057560]

>>7057541
This, plus the music in Sonic 2 is harsher in some way. Like, the melodies are pleasant for the most part, but they're also edgy in a way, with a aggressive bassline in a lot of the tracks and lots of sharp notes. I'm not a musician, so I know I'm doing a shitty job of explaining what I mean... but it's darker than S3&K's music somehow.

Like Marble Zone is Sonic 1, what's up with that music? It gives me the creeps even though it shouldn't
Also all Sonic games have this feeling of doom, like other than Green Hill Zone and similar Sonic is alwais either on a decaying lost civilization or a sterile futuristic industrial junkyard, Sonic CD makes it obvious where you can go to the past and the future and compare the same stages, technological doom is always creeping into Sonic's happy world

make up your mind retard, there's no "suspension of disbelief" in playing sonic the fucking hedgehog, it's not like watching a French New Wave or a David Lynch film. There's nothing "natural" in playing Super Mario Kart, it's pixels on a screen that barely resemble anything remotely realistic. How's your suspension of disbelief when you watch a Bugs Bunny cartoon you complete buffoon. Stop conflating high art with mindless video games that have zero semblance to reality or anything on a level higher than a saturday morning cartoon.

[Anonymous No.7057625]

In order for these games to look like they do in the first place some extremely difficult programming innovations had to be achieved on very limited resources. Graphical tricks and new techniques have always been used to promote video games since the early days.
There's nothing pretentious about technology like there is in these artsy films, it's more like the techniques behind special effects on blockbusters, sometimes they were believable, sometimes less so. Even cartoons can look unnatural and often they do, it's actually very hard to nail that smooth feeling that these classic cartoons have even if the audience doesn't know about it.
If you think there's nothing natural about Mario Kart compare it with something like Speed Racer for SNES. At the time mode 7 was a revelation, even good racing games that use older tricks to simulate the into the screen look feel less smooth and more artificial especially on the corners.

Something about Sonic 3 felt melancholic to me.
It's true that Sonic 1 also achieved this (GHZ being very nostalgic and bittersweet yet at the same time very upbeat), but it's a different kind of thing. Sonic 3 feels a lot more dark. It may be because of the more realistic choice for color palette and tileset design, it could be because Masato Nakamura no longer worked on the soundtrack and instead westerner musicians did most of it, but I bet it has to do with the internal team at Sonic Team. It's probably reflecting certain sorrows they were going through.
I love Sonic 3 and I think it's a fantastic game. A game can be good and still emanate odd vibes.

Let's compare first levels.
>Sonic 1
GHZ has THE most memorable Sonic tune in all of the franchise, the most iconic aesthetic, bright, lively, optimistic yet exotic, boss fight required the player to learn how to properly use Sonic's physics and platforming.
>Sonic 2
Music still by the same composer, hits the same kind of feel as GHZ but with a bit of a different sentiment, does have a "this is a sequel" feel to it. Visuals are also a follow up to Sonic 1's aesthetic proposition, less baroque, more spacious and omnipotent. The waterfalls on the back of GHZ give a very cozy feel of being in a valley, while the wide ocean at the back of EHZ gives the emotion of freedom and openness.
Boss is very lackluster but the mech car is really cool.

This is a tough one, because I REALLY like this level and I think it's amazingly crafter so I'm not going to be critical of its level design, I'll focus on music and aesthetic/visual.
Sonic 3 departed from Nakamura-san as we know, so the music obviously took a sudden turn (while still maintaining elements that Nakamura helped establish as being Sonic-like). Angel Island opens with a calypso-infused funky jam that honestly sounds great, but at the same time doesn't hit the same emotional chords for me as GHZ or EHZ do. It's a lot more rhythm-based, and although there is very nice melody lines, it doesn't reach the same level of empathy I get from listening to GHZ or EHZ's timeless main melodies. It does fit the visuals though because they also depart from the art direction of 1 and 2. 3 is more organic-looking than the former games, thus being less about shapes and opposing colors, and more about overall forming an organic look. This means a more uniform-looking screen, less variety of colors, and more irregular geometrical shapes.
It's easy to see how Sonic 3 would stand out as being "negative". That doesn't mean the game is bad, it's just its vibe.

Sonic 3 was the last video game played by Kurt Cobain in April 94. Some say the game is cursed with dark energy.

I think it's because they changed the way Sonic looks in Sonic 3, giving the game a slightly different feel

>Stop conflating high art with mindless video games that have zero semblance to reality
I'm not the Anon arguing that it's art, but regardless of that whether it is or isn't, this right here here is your problem. You're one of those seething retards who can't comprehend ever taking anything with a cartoon-like aesthetic seriously. Being immersed in a 3D Mario game? B-but it's for k-kiddies! N-Nintentoddlers! You've probably thought this way since the console wars and still haven't grown out of it. Fucking tragic, is what it is.

I had those.
Tails' rotor broke after hitting the ceiling.
The wind-up spring in the Robotnik one broke at some point, so did the spring in the Sonic toy.
The Knuckles thingy got accidentally shredded by our lawnmower.

I actually saw a theory that Sonic 3 is a follow up to Sonic 2 8 bit bad ending where the 3 half represents the 5 stages of grief
1) Denial is Angel Island where it's the run of the mill green level where Sonic pretends its fine
2) Anger is Hydrocity Zone where Sonic's primary fear is water, and most in grieving lash out in the face of their fears
3) Bargaining is Marble Garden since that has more than 7 special stage rings, allowing for multiple chances to get the chaos emeralds, unlike Sonic where he failed to save Tails
4) Depression is Carnival Night where Sonic does his best to drown his sorrows away by being in a happy place to distract him from his sadness
5) Acceptance is Ice Cap where Sonic comes to terms with the cold truth of death as he learns to conquer his fears and be a better hedgehog
>for fun
6) Launch Base is moving forward as he stops Eggman and then it continues into the &Knuckles half

So maybe that answers your question?

My toy Sonic was a bubblegum container, the opening part was the back of his head which came off, one day my friend popped it off and threw it at the beach and stuff a tuft of grass in it, the piece got lost and I had to pretend not to care but I was extremely pissed

Lol get ouned. You had the chance to enter ChadDom that day, but stuck to your beta sanic path. Instead of joining in, you retreated into your feelings and have stayed there for 20 years. ChadDom isn't calling back, you missed your chance.
