What's the correct ranking?
2 > cd > 3 > 1 >knuckles
>>748939948Knuckles > 3 > 1 > CD > 2
>>7489399482=3&K>1>CD
>>748939948Sonic 3&K > Sonic 2 > CD > Sonic 1
>>748940001>>748940170>>748940184>>748940215Now add Mania
>>7489399483K (slightly) > 2 > 1Don't play CD it sucks
>>7489402803K >= Mania > 2 > 1 > CDMania could've been better if there were more than 5 original stages and if the final boss wasn't lame
>>7489399482>3>1>>>>>shit> CD
>>748940215i'm thinking this>>748940280a little iffy on mania, originally i thought it was pretty boring but after superstars came out it made me remember mania wasn't a shit game. imo still not better than 3k, and i feel like people preferring 2 over it is valid.
>>748939948CD>2>1>3
Sonic 2 gets kinda stressful after Mystic Cave. Shit gets serious...

>>748940184>>748940454>>748940589>>748941650>>748941990When did people turn on CD?
>>748942104Meme exploration gimmick.
>>748942104When it became available on an accessible platform and more people besides hipsters started playing it
>>748942104CD has always been the weakest. It's not a bad game, but it's the weakest classic sonic.
>>748942479>>748942489This is revisionism because it was well received post-rerelease for most of the 2010s. It was the 2020s when there was a turnaround. Sonic 1 was considered the weakest due to being relatively barebones.
>>748939948Mania > Sonic 2 > 3&K > 1 > K > 3 > CD
>>748942570It's not revisionism, more people played the game, meaning more people are gonna bounce off it. The mystique that surrounded it for years as a hidden gem faded away once enough people realized it was mid all along. 99% of it's reputation was always from the music and the animated cutscenes.
Not sure but 3 is nowhere near first place for long drawn out stages like sandshitpolis
>>748942813I had this realization in the 90s as a kid. Had a sizable enough rich kid population to make Sonic CD get a lot of positive buzz. An exclusive gem that more people needed to play, if only they weren't too poor to afford the vastly superior Sega CD™ experience.......And then I stayed the night at Nick's house and it was like Oops! All Labyrinth Zone: The Game.Fucking Nick. Pretentious asshole.
>>748942104I turned on it back in '05 when I played it for the first time on Gems Collection. I still like it, but the romhack level design holds it back in a series where the fast-paced gameplay needs to have good level design. It's why S3K stands head and shoulders above the rest of the pack, and why I think Sonic stands toe-to-toe with Sonic 2.
>>748940619Superstars is much better than Mania which is dogshit
>1Green Hill and Starlight are the only good zones, everything else is cancer>CDBetter if you get time stones instead of generators, Wacky Workbench is cancer>2The early half is the best of classic Sonic, Oil Ocean onwards is cancer>3KMostly great, Sandopolis and Death Egg are cancer>ManiaAmazing until Oil Ocean (again), some bosses are cancer
>>748943404Oh so you just like hold right to win.
>>7489399483k>cd>1>2
>>748939948Master System Sonic 1 > *
>>748940454>>748940530>>748940589>>748942104CD has the worst level design and gameplay but but it has the best atmosphere and absolute goated OST (JP). Somehow the worst designed but the one that's I'm the most nostalgic about.
>>748939948
anything who doesn't think 1 is the worst is outright lying. there's a reason everyone quits after green hill zone
I'd like Sonic 1 a lot more if it kept the UFOs in Marble Zone.
>>748948258Just mod them back into the decomp
What's your favorite Zone of all time?Mine is Labyrinth. I love the music, level aesthetic and the secret methods you can use to clear the zone.
>>748939948The one I like the most > the one I like a little less than that > the one I think is just alright > the one I don't really care for
>>748948812Hydrocity or Launch BaseI really like all of the zones from Sonic 3 outside of CN
>>748939948Mania > 3K > 3 > 2 > 1
>>748948812The first one to pop into my head was Marble Garden, and I'd have to say that's itBUTLava Reef into Hidden Palace into Sky Sanctuary is probably my favorite sequence of levels of any Sonic game, the second zone for Lava Reef being like cooled obsidian, then the fight with knuckles, and then the music for Sky Sanctuary, holy fuck its so goodBut single zone, then yeah its Marble Garden
>>748948812I really like Muhsroom Hill for some reason. Also Ice Cap zone.
>>748948812Hydro City Zone.
>>748948812Aquatic Ruin Zone or Ice Cap Zone.
>>748940280mania > 2 > cd > 3 > 1 >knuckles

Sonic 3 > Knuckles > CD > 2 >> 1
>Sonic CD at last place when Sonic 1 has two back to back boring ahh zones that filter most SonicfagsYou guys are fakers.

>>748939948CD>3K=1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2>>748942104people genuinely cant comprehend CD because they go into it expecting more sonic 2 when its the complete polar opposite. sonic fans arent very smart
>>748943404>Wacky Workbench is cancerand Collision Chaosand Tidal Tempestand Quartz Quadrantand Metallic Madness

>>748939948IMO, 3K > CD > 1 > 2Objectively, 1 = 2 = CD = 3KThey're all great games.
I recently replayed all of them.1 - No amount of nostalgia can save this game. This shit is Bubsy levels of "if you go fast at any point, you instantly get crushed".CD - It's a beautiful and ambitious game, but the notion that people actually like playing this game must be some kind of practical joke. There's just no way. The sad part is, with Tails or Knuckles the exploration focus would make more sense. But no, you play as Sonic, using your psychic powers to know where the signs are, know when you can run unhindered to activate the signs and know where the machines are. Trial and error times twenty: the game.2 - Basically a masterpiece. Used to be my favorite, but...3 - It's so fucking good. The first three zones are god tier.&K - I don't like the levels very much.
