    Fun fact: the name "Nack The Weasel" was actually the name Shinichi Higashi originally wanted to use for the character in Japan. The reason for it being changed was that Nack sound to similar Knuckles, as it's pronounced "Nakkuruzu" over there.

    To give credit where credit is due, Sonic Labyrinth does feature one of Robotnik's most underrated plans: He invented a way to slow down the blue blur, giving Robotnik more time than ever to progress his plans. Of course he inevitably falls to his nemesis, but for what it's worth, averting the greatest physical ability of your enemy is a good strategy.

I bet by the time SEGA gave up on the Console Wars, they removed every beneficial thing that Sonic was known for within the 10 year lifespan 1991 and 2001. Character Growth, Balanced Gameplay, Great World Building... all gone, and made worse when Sonic X came in.

    Sonic went in cars for most of the racing games because 1: it's "cool", and 2: it's fair to the other characters. Like for example Big the cat. I know Big wasn't around for sonic drift, but in modern racing games that's the reason.

    Triple Trouble is my favorite 2D sonic game. I won't argue that it is objectively the most well made of the classic era, but it is the one I have the fondest memories of, I think. (This was probably because I never owned Sonic 3, but also because I was able to bring my Game Gear with me when we went camping.) I loved Tails' ability to fly and explore, and always played as him, instead of Sonic. Also tthe water stages were made way less of a headache for Tails, due to his submarine. I am glad people still remember that game.

    @UsernameDoesntCare 2 года назад

    Sonic fans can be somewhat annoying at times because I, too am a Sonic fan and it breaks my heart to see that the common consensus of opinions regarding a lot of Sonic games is that most Sonic games are bad, when thats not the case. Sonic R and Sonic the Fighters are amazing and perfectly playable games, but Sonic fans hate them so much that a friend of mine couldn't believe the fact I 100% completed Sonic R. Sonic R gets hate for having bad controls when this whole time all you had to do was hold down the bumpers, Sonic The Fighters gets hate literally for no reason or just because its a fighting game, like okay and? Sonic Battle was great also, Sonic Triple Trouble was amazing and so was Sonic Labyrinth and Chaotix.
    I played Sonic Labyrinth on my 3DS and its pretty fun, even though Sonic is slow, seeing sonic slow down for once and do a time based game where you collect keys and solve puzzles was actually surprisingly fun. The levels probably do get a little bit repetitive but it beats Sonic 3D Blast. Imagine how cool it would be if we got Sonic XTreme. Sonic Unleashed and Colours were amazing games too however for some reason either one of those two gets hate for being "boost to win lul" or "grr i dont like the werehog levels in unleashed bad game :(". Personally I quite liked the Werehog levels, but maybe thats because I played on Wii, where the motion controls make a difference, even if the version is literally inferior and I didn't know it at the time.
    Sonic has a lot of niche games out there, and I think that Sonic fans unfairly hate most Sonic games, but anyways, if we put Sonic aside for one second, I think we can agree that even though Sonic is cooler than Mario, that Mario has not had a single bad mario game ever. Imagine a world without Super Mario Galaxy, you can't its not feasible.

    Amy's Page One looks so cute! I wish there were more uses of the SA2 chao stills.

    But sonic 3d blast is one of my fav games on sega gen. Sonic 3D Blast was released for the Genesis in North America and Europe in November 1996. The launch coincided with the release of the Game Gear game Sonic Blast, which also features pre-rendered 3D graphics.
