This year I was cleaning my room, saw this case and said "Why the fuck not?". At first I was unsure of what exactly I was feeling while going through loop-de-loops, half-pipes, vacuum tubes, spring boards, getting hit, collecting a ring, getting hit, collecting a ring, bouncing on Eggman for eight seconds. Of course I now recognize it to have been the early onset of nihilism. Donkey Kong Country might've been the game that truly brought the platformer genre into the dark ages of inanity, but it wasn't the outbreak monkey.

Because simply put, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a cycle of faulty design endlessly revving spin-dashes into itself. And it all stems from its alleged highest quality: speed. Given the fast rate of scrolling, any type of serious opposition from enemies would seem unfair, for starters. It would be too difficult to react to more than the odd projectile or lunge without committing entire stage layouts to memory. Even nerfed enemies could prove challenging at top speed without a "proper" health mechanic, and we don't want to squander the selling point by making it unknown to beginning players, as they tip-toe around fearing punishment for wielding this fire you bestowed on them. So now we have rings, and an infinite potential for recovery from nearly any mistake. But an action game can't be completely without obstruction or penalty, can it? Not to worry, they've added in some spikes and a few pitfalls. F-U-N. Add a corkscrew loop-the-loop and congratulations, you've just designed a Sonic the Hedgehog stage.

Sonic 1 and 2 are not games so much as brands to sell Sega Genesis and later Archie comics

You came for Sonic, but you sure as hell didn't STAY for Sonic.

Like if Mario had a similar campaign and you came to the SNES for Mario (World), you stayed for Mario Kart, Super Mario All Star, Yoshi Island, Mario RPG, Mario Paint, ect ect

People were brought to Genesis for Sonic 1-2.....but outside of Sonic 3 no one got excited for 3D Blast, Spinball, MEAN BEAN MACHINE!?

This, he was a mascot for the Genesis much like Crash Bandicot was for the original Playstation.

Top 10 SNES games will have Mario in it

But Top 10 Playstation or Genesis games won't have Crash or Sonic, they are bait on a hook, but not the true prize

Really George? All those top tier almost greatest games of all time titles and you are going to put Crash on your list?

Sonic MAYBE if you ain't into RPGs will crack your Top 10 list........ but then I think that's almost proof how shit the Genesis is for most people

you know what OP. first i wanted to tell you you're a faggot but i have to agree. i always had this distinct feeling that the sonic games were made by suicidal and depressed people. even the most colorful installments later on like SA1 had this strange uneasy feel about them. it's like you could sense the decay behind the bright colors.

I think you guys are right. I've never been able to put my finger on it before, but theres something I've always found deeply unsettling about the atmosphere in those games.
