Mania > 3&K > CD = 2 >>>>> 1

project plus fucking WHEN

S3 Complete > Mania > 3&K > CD > 2 > 1

3&K > 2 > Mania > 1 > CD

3&K > Mania > CD > 2 >>> 1

If Mania was a bigger game it'd be = 3&K.

This might be the one.

Sonic 3 is overrated. Too much automated, hold right until you win bullshit.

>Sonic 3 is overrated.
It doesn't have much competition, so it's to be expected.

>Too much automated, hold right until you win bullshit.
That seems like an exaggeration. Sonic 3 has plenty of Zones where holding right to win would get you absolutely nowhere. Or killed. Sonic Advance 2 is the game you're describing. Calling anything less than that "holdright2win" is pure hyperbole. If you're going to try and take Sonic 3 down a peg, at least provide a better reason than that. How about the fact that it's hilariously buggy, and you can skip some stages by simply holding down to pan the camera below you and then jumping? Or the fact that some Zones' gimmicks either overstay their welcome or are complete dogshit like the spin tops from Marble Garden? Or having some worthless mini bosses like the Sandopolis Act 1 boss? Or having an irritating Super Sonic theme that's like a ten second loop and is just the invincibility theme, unlike Sonic 2's which was completely original and longer?

But I mean, sure. "Hold right until you win bullshit." Yep, you got 'em. How will Sonic 3fags ever recover?

Out of all the original Sonic games, people truly forget how bad Sonic 2 becomes after the Mystic Cave zone. I grew up with it and thought it was the best Sonic game of all time, but when you go back its a bit of a "oh..." moment. Mania/3k are the kings, I can't decide between the two.

Agreeable.

3 and S+K are my favourites, but I greatly enjoy all of the classic era.

S3&K>CD>M>1>2

What game were you playing? Sandopolis is literally the slowest Sonic Zone ever made

I hope it shows up in mania 2 if it ever happens. I actually liked that rising sand gimmick

3&K >= CD > 1 > Mania > 2

Am I the only one who thinks Titanic Monarch Act 1 was like a very thinly veiled allusion to Chrome Gadget?

3&K would be number 1 if it the mobile treatment like 1, 2, and CD.
As it stands Mania is the best, 3&K Complete comes close but Mania just barely beats it out imo

Sonic was never good

You almost got me until I realized CD is not in the shitter, where it's supposed to be

You seem butt flustered.

Sonic 3 is a good game, but it absolutely does suffer from too much non-gameplay nonsense. It's OK to criticize games you like, user. Breath in, breath out. Slow breaths.

Well memed my numale friend.

I don't think Sonic 3 is overrated, really. Most people who know what they're talking about agree that Sonic 1, 2, and CD are the best designed games. Sonic 3 only comes up in conversation as an afterthought. Sonic 3 is more of a fan darling since it caters to fan service and shit. But nobody cares what Sonic fans think. Sonic 3 was where the series began to go downhill.

I'm having a very hard time trying to disagree with this
maybe change it to CD = 2 instead of >
other than that, this is objectively correct

Sonic 2's stages in general kind of shit the bed in hindsight. Even when you master them, most of the zones aren't all that fun. But Sonic & Knuckles is also filled with a lot of forgettable zones and things for me. Flying Battery's alright, but everything else leading up to Lava Reef is pretty meh.

CD > 1 > Mania > S3K/Complete > 2

>thread made me replay Mania
>it is still absolute fucking gold
>every fucking stage music is refined ear sex

Why the fuck are the special stages in Mania not just tolerable for a classic Sonic game, but actually FUN as fuck? More fun than I had with any part of Forces? How did ST drop the ball so fucking hard.

It's not that bad. Oil Ocean gets way too much hate, Metropolis is good but should've been 2 acts only and the mantises are bullshit, sky chase sucks I'll give you that, Wing Fortress is fantastic

also just forgot to add, no music in vidya should be allowed to be this fucking funky

>Why the fuck are the special stages in Mania not just tolerable for a classic Sonic game, but actually FUN as fuck?
Probably because they mix blend what makes the core gameplay good into a pleasant melting pot of adrenaline. All about gaining speed and then trying to maintain it without losing control, compared to every other classic Special Stage just being set speed collectathons.

>Mirage Saloon has 4 (four) remixes of the same track
>They're all god tier
I'm not sure Tee Lopes is human.

3 has Knuckles story which while a little wonky gives much more of an incentive to use Knuckles abilities with all the new routes than the one exclusive boss and level of Mania does. It's basically a completely new story branch and not just a way to fill in the file select menu. I actually don't like 2 that much though I give it credit for being a bigger version of 1.

But I would kill for that expanded Mania multiplayer. Not that I have friends to use it with.

You would always have Sup Forums friends to play with, if it ever happened user.
