nice to see the tornado walker after all this time. although am i right in thinking that you just pick whichever character to go through the area with rather than them each having their own area?

I am sure the Tornado Walker is called the Cyclone, actually.

It's looks good actually. Props to Sega to put efforts to make their game better.
Not a fan of that holographic effect on the characters though.

Finally picked up Origins Plus for cheap have and have almost finished a playthrough of each game with a different character (Sonic in 1, Knuckles in CD, Tails in 2, Amy in 3&K). finished 1, I think it actually confirmed Marble Zone as being one of the worst stages in Classic Sonic for me.

The aesthetics aren't terribly interesting, there's too much waiting around with platforms, and it just has a general lack of flow in a level that in no way plays to Sonic's strengths gameplay wise. Even as maligned as Labyrinth Zone is, at least there's a novelty to it and the worst aspects come more from cheap enemy placement than the water itself.

Honestly having Knuckles abilities made for the most enjoyable playthrough of CD I've ever had. The gliding and climbing arguably make him more fit for the level design than Sonic and even as someone that prefers to go for the Time Stones then the Generators, its nice to have a character more built for exploration for future replays.

Tails in 2 was fine, though the lack of a Super form in a standard playthrough is a little annoying. I kind of wish I'd swapped him and Sonic in the respective games I played because 2's speedy level design is so build for the latter's use of the drop dash and 1 for the former's flight during the inconsistent platforming.

Amy's been fun (just beat the Sonic 3 portion), though her lack of an interesting jumping option does stand out. Given that Superstars is giving her a double jump, its a little surprising that they didn't do the same here as it easily would have fit her with hammer spin. Glad she's here, but she's probably going to feel a little incomplete to me.

Hard agree. I think good platforming-oriented stages in Sonic could work, but things like Marble Zone and the "mini-levels" from Sonic Colors really make it suck.

At least Amy feels like she's more designed and balanced for Sonic's levels, unlike the others who can fly or glide.

Controversial opinion (maybe) Sonic 3 (and the future sonic movies) Needs to have eggman i dont care if its Jim carey or someone else but replacing Eggy with stone is such a weird potential future? Thats like if orbot replaced eggman in the next Sonic!

If Shadow were to be playable in Smash, his costumes need to be the multiplayer alts from his own game, plus a couple alts based on Mephiles and Terios.

I still think Eggman should get in as a proper stance fighter, switching between a moveset with him in his Egg Mobile and a moveset with him on-foot, summoning Badniks to do his dirty work.

Anybody remember the TV series "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog"? I first discovered it on a VHS tape at a rental store ("Road Hog" and "Tails in Charge"), and then in summer of 1996 the channel "USA Network" used to air a block called "Cartoon Express" which featured other shows like Ninja Turtles and Real Ghostbusters; Sonic, of course, was one of them, and I used to get up early morning to catch it (with "Too Tall Tails" as my first).

Wait until you get to Trip's story, or the final boss of the main story. I am not saying they are bad, but they are very hard.

I was deeply saddened in the "World of Light" trailer that showed Sonic getting vaporized by Galeem while he was trying to help Pikachu.

I just saw season 3 of Sonic Prime, and...

It was epic and suspenseful! I loved every minute of it! I love how Shadow had at least one bit of humor, which was...

"Do you want me to save you or not?

The way Season 3 ended was a great way to end the series.
