I wish I'd owned Sonic 3 and also Sonic & Knuckles - - I would probably rank the games very differently if I had. I remember being wowed by the environments in those ones on rentals, and having a playable character with different abilities who could actually access different parts of the game seemed really neat to me, too.

Sky Chase zone btw also seems like a funny choice - forcing Sonic to do a precise-jumping kind of platformer thing seems just out of the spirit of the game. I like that it's in there, to break up the format and so on, but it's not really the "pure essence of the cartridge" or what have you...

played through the whole game today for the first time in like six years. pretty much the perfect game for me, except for those bonus levels which you probably do have to spend 1000 hours perfecting. oddly enough i feel like sonic 1 is actually harder than this one -- can't remember if i ever made it to the end of sonic 3 or sonic and knuckles.
metropolis zone has the best music, by far -- killer tune.

i just found out that this game had a bunch of planned zones that got cut. one of them was called GENOCIDE CITY ZONE.

I’ve got a load of old sega games for the switch so playing this through for the first time, and fuck me, it’s hard! Metropolis zone is hell.

gyac, do you have the sega ages version or the mega drive classics collection? the classics collection has infamously bad input latency

Only 1 vote for Aquatic Ruin? Wtf?

The classics collection - I’m not sure if it does or doesn’t on switch but I was surprised I was so bad at it!

Fuck the hilariously named Death Egg Zone. However I have now completed this game but fuck getting 100% on it tbh.
