It's Time for our Yearly Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

~Gotta Go Fast~

What's your favorite Sonic game? Favorite Zone? Favorite song?

I'm going for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as my favorite and then Chemical Plant Zone as the best zone. Stardust Speedway Bad Future from Sonic CD is the best song.



Also, Sonic After the Sequel is a fan-game that ranks up there with the original three so I have to mention it.

DISCUSS GOING FAST.

Seems like Sonic is getting tired in his old age.

[Pike]

That's why we're talking about classic Sonic, silly

[Aulayna]

Sonic 3 & Knuckles was my favourite because of the interaction between the two titles. Sonic 2 comes in a close second - if Sonic 2 had Sonic 3's art style I'd pick it over Sonic 3.

My favourite zone is Death Egg/Doomsday from Sonic 3 & Knucklces as it was so climatic tieing up everything that had happened in Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles - it was hard as nails too.

My favourite song is the Special Stage theme from Sonic 2.

All the classic Sonics really do have their own great things going for them and it's hard to pick which one is the "best" out of all of them. Personally I feel that Sonic 2 had the strongest level design but S3&K was a very strong title in its own right.

I kind of like the Sonic 1&2 art style over S3&K personally! It was cuter xD

[Aulayna]

Also my proudest achievement was getting all the Chaos Emeralds on Sonic CD on the PC and getting the "you are our greatest player" screen at the end of the credits. I think I was like... 8 or 9 then and was like "ahhhh yeaaah"

[Pike]

Oh man, Sonic CD is such an underrated little gem. It might not be quite up there with Sonic 2 and 3&K but it's an immensely fun and lovely game.

I've never enjoyed playing a Sonic game. I don't enjoy that you either go relatively slow or really fast. It's just not for me.

I do enjoy going fast IRL though

You can go fast in leaving this thread, you philistine

I've only really played Sonic 2. That being said, everything about Chemical Plant Zone is awesome. I despise Casino Night Zone.

Sonic 2 will probably always be my favorite. I used to play that game with friends and family all the time. I do want to play Sonic 3 and Knuckles more one of these days. I sucked at that game as a kid so I got burnt out pretty quick. I did enjoy sticking Sonic 2 into that cartridge to play Sonic 2 with Knuckles. Really I sucked at all of the games. The only one I've beaten is Sonic CD (and that's not with all the chaos emeralds and such).

I downloaded Before and After the Sequel the other day. They are both pretty fun.

[Polnareff]

My favorite Sonic games are 2, CD, Adventure, and Rush.

My favorite Sonic soundtrack is actually the one for Sonic 3D Blast on the Saturn (yes, the Saturn version's soundtrack is totally different from the Genesis version) with Sonic 2 being a close second. Sonic R has a great soundtrack too.
