Say something nice about Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, the greatest Sonic game ever made.

it might be as good as Sonic CD, but it's nowhere near 1 or 3K.

Another case of Western insects ruining what could have been a good game, which was luckily rectified with the third installment.

Great game, not as good as 3K though. Also the airship finale is bullshit and I stop playing when I get there. Inb4

Sonic 2 took what sonic 1 did and made levels that better emphasises sonic's fast paced gameplay by having level designs that compliments the core fundamentals of sonic's movement set. Most of the stages with a few exceptions towards the latter half of the game, being on par, if not moreso, being more fast paced and having more branching paths than even the likes of green hill zone or star light zone in sonic 1. Sonic being able to use a spin dash is an excellent addition to his moveset and having super sonic gives more of an incentive to collect the chaos emeralds. Overall, Sonic 2 took what Sonic 1 did and made it better, and establishing the foundation of what is needed to make a great 2D sonic game
>the greatest Sonic game ever made
just in terms of 2D sonic games, 3&K and CD is better than sonic 2

It's the icing of the cake, when you already lost so many lives in Metropolis and still need to get trolled by things like this.

The cherry on top is the final boss.

It is one of my favorite games of all time, with near infinite replayability. Introducing stories and cutscenes to Sonic was a great mistake that killed the franchise. What makes Sonic so much fun is replaying the game over and over, learning the levels, completing stages as fast as possible, and mastering the game.

If you are implying what SA did then I agree but the short no dialog cutscenes of S3&K are perfect.

CD's number 1, Sonic 1 after that, then 2 and 3

>> No.8674671

Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and Sonic & Knuckles are the greatest video games of all time, with Sonic 3 & Knuckles representing the peak of the medium.

Architecturally speaking, I think the societies present in Sonic 2 are the most interesting and well developed. I wish I knew who was responsible for their construction. Particularly Aquatic Ruin Zone.

It was the first Sonic game to change up the formula a tad.
The difficulty's just right.
The hangglider was early on so casuals got filtered out fast leaving the best game in the series to us patricians.

Reminder that if you think CD is better than 1, 2, 3 or K (standalone)
You're wrong
CD is the most hipster shit ever, people unironically only like it because it's 'different' and 'unique' and 'exploratory' and 'unique for the series' and horseshit like that, the level design is shit, having to go to the Past is shit and if you aren't engaging with that side of the game and 'exploring' it's just a really fucking clunky Sonic game with pointlessly elaborate level designs
It's Chaotix 1 and people overrate the fuck out of it just because they like what it stands for not for how it actually plays and is designed

>> No.8674832

It's the base formula for a Sonic game, and still holds up on its own.

That being said, I usually play as Tails alone when I play it.
