Sonic has been in almost 200 video games, yet only Sonic 1+2 can truly be considered good games. The rest are painfully mediocre or just outright bad.
Why can't our furry friend catch a break? Why did they throw him into so much shovelware?

Shit bait, do better next time faggot

Sonic is the best video game franchise ever.
Sonic The Hedgehog is the best fictional character ever.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the peak of video games.

No amount of shitposting will ever change these facts.

Mario has been in almost 5 billion video games, yet only Mario 1+2 (Lost Levels) can truly be considered good games. The rest are painfully mediocre or just outright bad.

Why are Sonic cultists so sensitive? All the games are the same, there is zero gameplay difference in any of the games.

Not even sonic fans like Sonic 1 (I mean, they do, but they wouldn't say it's the best). Sonic 2 and 3+K are the fan favorites on the genesis.

Probably why Sega pushes Sonic merch and tie-ins so hard and for so long - his games on their own aren't good enough to keep him relevant.

I know this thread is bait but is there anyone who actually thinks Sonic 1 is better than 2 or 3? Its very clearly the worst of the Genesis games imo.

They always say that Sonic has autism, but have you ever played Super Mario Land 2? Mario literally built a giant statue of himself out of legos. That sounds pretty autistic.

I always felt like there's some kind of deep symbolism at play in SML2 culminating with the fact that Mario's personal castle is filled with death traps and occupied by... Wario

some kind of window into Mario's suppressed greed and violence

There is like a recurring theme in the game of stuff looking okay from the outside but being filled with bees and spikes

Mario Land 2 is actually a very smart and layered game. Each of the seven worlds represent the seven deadly sins, as the game is one big metaphor for the fall of Mario
>Tree Zone - Sloth
Tree Zone is the only land untouched by Mario’s vast empire. Upon this island of lavish castles, theme parks and crazy landmarks, there exists a single tree that stands defiant of Mario. His lack of willingness in uprooting a massive tree from the ground demonstrates his overall laziness
>Space Zone - Gluttony
Mario literally “gets high” and travels to Space where he encounters Tatanga, who he killed in the previous game. This zone represents Mario’s dependency and overuse of drugs to escape the memories of his past, with Tatanga representing the burden he carries from the pain he has caused
>Macro Zone - Envy
In this level, everything is gigantic while Mario is small. Simply put, this represents how Mario still feels insignificant, and how he still does not have everything he could hope for. He still feels small and out of place
>Pumpkin Zone - Wrath
Obviously this is anger. In this Halloween zone, zombies, effigies of slasher villains and the occult wander. They represent Mario’s deep rooted rage and violence towards those around him, manifested in the form of horror iconography
>Mario Zone - Pride
Only a vain man would build a colossal monument to himself
>Turtle Zone - Lust
Anyone can see the phallic imagery in the turtle emerging from its shell and snapping Mario up. The “wetness” of the zone as well as the octopus and urchin enemies invoke fears of STDs as well as a general lust for Peach
>Mario Castle - Greed
And finally, we see Mario’s castle. A grand, towering monument to excess and debauchery. while his subjects starve, Mario sleeps soundly in his bed built upon the tears and pain of his people.

This isn’t a video game, it’s a biblical epic only rivalled by Mario 3 and its parallels to the fall of Satan and Dante’s Inferno.

[Anonymous No.8583931]

>>8583920
That’s not even getting into the fact that Mario’s Castle not just represents greed, but is a complete approximation of this character. Despite its size, parts of the ground remain unfinished (sloth). Its grand size (gluttony/excess), the fact it was designed to invoke the ire of Wario and the rest of the kingdom (envy), the heavy use of death traps (wrath), the fact its called “Mario’s Castle” (pride), the use of spinning spiky balls (lust) and the sheer excess and power it all represents (greed). Miyamoto is a genius

>Sonic 1
7/10. I liked this game

>Sonic 2
8/10. Post Oil Ocean (excluding Mystic Cave) and Special Stages (with Tails) is dogshit

>Sonic 3
5/5. Really fucking great.

>&Knuckles
4.5/5. Harder, but still fun
So really 9.5/10, because fuck you nigger it's one game.

>Sonic CD
6/10. I'll try to give it another chance by playing it without the mindset it's anything like Sonic 1/2/3K/M. I still think the execution is ass while the idea was interesting

>Sonic 8-bit
6/10. Not that bad, but not good. Medicore 2D title

>Sonic 2 8-bit
7/10. A bit better.

>Triple Trouble
7/10. Nicer in areas, worse in others.

>Tails Adventure
7/10, Cute little spinoff, but could be more intuitive.

>Sonic Adventure
>5/10. It's really fucking overrated and I'm tired of seeing niggers defend it more and more over the years. Sonic's part is the better part of this game, but design wise if you truly valued classic Sonic, gamepaly and all, Beta Windy Valley is the only level in 3D Sonic that captures Sonic's appeal far better than what was left in the game. Tails and Knuckles are really fucking shallow comapred to the 2D games. Amy was fucked over for no reason being randomly slower than Sonic to that degree when Tails can have Sonic speed just fine. And that hammer Jump was a good idea, but needing to be at max speed to use it (and I mean literally, top running animation, anything less means jack shit) makes it feel limiting and shitty as all fuck. Everything else in the game is a waste of resorces and adds nothing to Sonic's core gameplay. It infact, weakest the branding for Sonic and only can be enjoyed by non fans of the Genesis era games.

>SA2
6/10. Sonic and Shadow are the better parts of this game. But like SA1, not authentic to classic Sonic, both in physics, and level design. But a bit more streamlined than in SA1. Knuckles is the same, but past Aquatic Mine, the levels are unfun. Rouge is dogshit. So is Tails. Eggman's space level was the only good one.

1/2

[Anonymous No.8585216]

>>8585203
>>8582307
And fyi, SA1/2 are also not retro.

And you forgot to mention:
>3D Blast
7/10. Charming game, controls are kinda awkward if you don't give them time to get used to. Not good controls, just passable.

>Sonic R
8/10. Same as 3D Blast, but because of the god tier music and being a shorter game, it becomes more tollorable than 3D Blast. But if the gameplay was tighter with more levels as a result, then I'd make it a 9/10 if not 10/10 if a sequel made it better

>Knuckles Chaotix
>4/10.
The game is really fucking confused as fuck. Same appeal as Balan Blunderworld imo. There are far worse Sonic games, but is one of the most confused ones out of the entire series.

>Sonic Pocket Adventure
>8.5/10. Really nice 8-bit game and would consider as good as Sonic 1 in some spots, but being more simple and on 8bit hardware makes it more impressive.

[Anonymous No.8585669]

>>8585459
I got that experince in other games. SA1 is not original. As in, maybe for it's time it was "one of" but I never played it at the time and I'm glad I don't let it cloud my judgement for gameplay quality

As much as I love Rayman 2, and how I think it's far better than basically all 3D Sonic games, the gameplay is rather aged.
