Did you know there's a time travel aspect to this plot?

Try to spot whenever time travel happens but we can't tell.

This game is so ugly. Compare it to Sonic Lost World, another Wii U Sonic game that's actually really pretty and not terrible.

Sonic generations (and, to a lesser extent, colors and lost world) is actually a really good game, which makes this garbage all the more surprising.

Oh yeah, no, it's still not good. It was... enjoyable?

Basically outside of Generations, there hasn't been a good Sonic game since Adventure 1.

Nonstop Talking: The Video Game. Holy poo poo, shut up Sonic and not-Sonics! Is the game normally that chatty or is that because he's blazing through it so quick?

The werehog game wasn't complete trash (not GREAT but ok) and Colors was great.

Some people like the DS games too.

Daytime segments of Unleashed, Colors, Generations, and both episodes of Sonic 4 were all good enough for Sonic to still exist. They were okay. They were "Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe" tier. Not great, but not awful either. Classic platform guys across the board don't seem to be doing well. I can't remember the last huge Mario game to get a lot of attention. Mega Man is dead. Sonic has been in dire straits for years. It's bad.

Please note that the game is spawning numerous Eggmen during that segment. If you pass one up there's another that spawns to keep yelling at you because they didn't let the original follow you.

Sonic 4 was unplayable garbage, but Super Mario 3D World is the best in the series.

And then Mega Man...

Mario 3D World was well-received as I would expect a Super Mario World would be, but I'm talking about Game of the Year prominence. When's the last time Mario has gone THAT far? And I'll admit flat out I've never heard of Toad's Treasure Tracker.

It was nominated for a number of awards including GOTY I'm pretty sure though?

This game had at least one funny writer and several of the cutscenes are actually fun. All wasted on this game, though.
