You could also cheese the hell out of Sonic Rush's special stages by pausing, then moving the Stylus.


Also I will forever hate the Sonic Heroes special stages because there's one emerald I never got, and the one time I got close shadow somehow dropped half a centimeter, got stuck inside of the tube, and then started running backwards at mach 5 as the collision detection tried to eject him.

I would probably regard sonic 4 more kindly if it didn't have a soundfont designed to be as terrible as possible.

I wouldn't regard it well though, it's way too obsessed with it's own gimmicks, but I could at least watch a video of it without cringing in pain.

I remember enjoying them as a kid. I was 100% down with the Knuckles spin off and always wanted to hear more about the history of Mobius. I've been meaning to get around to picking them up again. Should I start from the beginning or skip ahead to when it changes writers?

I have some bad news for you, friend. Basically all of that history, and the Knuckles spin off and all of the Echidnas therin, are straight from the mind of Penders. Flynn did some good work with that stuff once he got the reigns but eventually they had to scuttle all of it.

One thing really bothering me about sonic mania is that it has that chunky pixilated look that alot of genesis games had back in the day. I don't understand why they didn't go with the smooth, less pixilated look of Sonic CD and Knuckles Chaotix which is far superior. Were they just trying to be retro for the sake of retro?
This is someone else's image but I took the liberty of adding the Knuckles Chaotix and Sonic CD sprite to the end of it.

They're the same size, It's just Knuckles has more colors to play with. Which they are doing with mania. But they're still just as pixellated. If anything Mania is still smoother than Sonic 3 (a little bit, on the spines).

I think S3&K's death egg zone is probably the best place to be in terms of Gimmicks, in that most of them in act 1 are flashy traversal methods, the only one that isn't is the engine room thing and they ease you into that before hand. And Act 2 is just one gimmick by itself with the gravity.

so is this really solely on ken penders' shoulders or does his editor share that blame

This was well into the era where Bollers and Penders were basically siloed off into the A and B stories of their respective issues, and Penders was god-king of his own little universe. I doubt the editor could have convinced him to scratch his own rear end if he didn't want to.

Unleashed was the beginning of modern sonic gameplay with a middlingly okay God of War clone stapled to it. But seeing as how I am some kind of hideous mutant who played the Dante's Inferno game I probably regard Unleashed more fondly than most people.


The Wii/PS2 version had issues, though.

Basically only the post-SA2 Sonic games I actually like are Colors, Generations, the Sonic & Sega Racing games (do those count?) and to some degree the Sonic Rush games for the music if nothing else. (People complain about the level design in Sonic CD but it's brilliant compared to Advance 2, 3 and the Rush games.)

S&SASRT counts, at least. it's easily one of the best mario kart games in recent memory.

And I can't really defend the Advance game's level design, but whoever their composer was Did his job very well with the soundchip the system gave them.

I mean, they shelled out for the GHZ royalties and everything.

Which one is that? Shadow \ Heroes? I always thought Sonic 2006 or Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric were considered the worst. And I only got Shadow and Heroes because I found them for like $5 each. If I could find 2006 for that price, I would do the same just out of morbid curiosity.

If you're referring to Sonic Unleashed, it certainly wasn't a very good game, but I wouldn't call it the worst. It has good production values and isn't an ugly buggy mess like a lot of Sonic games. It's perfectly functional and does what it means to do, it's just that what it means to do is a pretty boring and tedious game.

If you didn't have to collect those stupid medals and if the Werehog levels weren't so drat long, Sonic Unleashed would actually be a pretty decent game. It wouldn't be spectacular, but it wouldn't be bad anymore.

The Wii version was much worse than the ps360 version, your progression for werehog attacks, health upgrades, energy, etc was fixed, and several of his movements were tied to waggle.

The daytime stages were nowhere near as good, and it didn't have hub worlds or cutscenes, both were replaced with sonic rush style talking heads.

Also the track layouts and characters options don't seem as good in the new Mario Kart series as they are in the Sonic All-Stars series.
