S&K, mainly because I only had Sonic 3 as a kid and played it to death so I'm kind of sick of it.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the peak of video games.

>> No.8447537

3, though I’m inclined to give & Knuckles the edge purely because Lava Reef Zone is the greatest sanic zone of all

>> No.8447734

3 just for the music.

Ice Cap Zone is my favorite, but shout outs to Hydro City for being an actually good water level.

this is why i hate numeral scores for games. there is absolutely no reason why sonic 2 and sonic cd should be presented as equal terms of the levels, they're nothing alike.

I prefer vanilla Sonic 3 desu. A quick game I can play through with some of the better zones.

I don't get the hate for Marble Garden Zone - that's an Internet meme I never adopted. Much better than the light switch puzzles in Sandopolis.

I think Sonic 1 and 2 are better than 3. Also Knuckles is a retarded knuckle dragger.

I just want to put out there that Lava Reef zone has the best music In any sonic game, perhaps any game ever. While I prefer three JPN CD soundtrack overall; this one track is the be all end all of vidya music for me. It’s perfect in every way shape and form and whenever I listen to it, all the bad goes away. Whoever composed this, Michael Jackson, Howard Drossin, Jun Senoue, Brad Buxer, Sachio Ogawa, Tatsuyuki Maeda, whoever. They pulled it off. They made the best vidya music of all time

S&K. The only really bad level is Sandopolis act 2. Meanwhile S3 is full of stinkers (Marble Garden, Carnival Night, Launch Base)

I don't mind Marble Garden and I've always liked Launch Base. I'm surprised so many people seem to like Mushroom Hill though. For me that one was always just kind of "there".

S&K is better. S3 is loaded with gay setpieces and semi-scripted segments.

Sonic 3 highlights: Angel Island, Hydrocity, Ice Cap, ending sequence in Launch Base with the takeoff, knuckles playing himself, and then the coolest Robotnik fight.
S&K highlights: Flying Battery, Sandopolis' music, Lava Reef, fight against emerald-powered Metallix

As solo games, for me it's Sonic 3.

All the levels are once you played the game once or twice. But at least S&K has more interesting levels. Half the levels in S3 are BORING.
