Sonic games are a lot harder than I thought... my marathon is taking a lot longer... but I'm getting there. Finished all this with all Chaos Emeralds/Time Stones/Super Emeralds. Now I'm off to NiGHTS. I probably should have played CD before 2... https://youtu.be/-hYVyoy85jIhttps://youtu.be/bd8G40yhxNQ

Oh i remember you, good job. Don't forget to play Sonic 1 on the Master System and Pocket Adventure. They are really short games
>>11356306Those 8 bit games weren't on my list, but Pocket Adventure is. I don't want to overdo it. Idk if I should do Pocket Adventure before or after Adventure. I'm doing release order, but apparently CD is supposed to be before 2, and 3 starts right after 2 ends so I regretted doing 2 before CD.
>>11356296The CD ending title card is a bit dim because I took the screenshot too late... oh well.
>>11356309Do it before Adventure 1
>>11356309>I'm doing release order, but apparently CD is supposed to be before 2, and 3 starts right after 2 ends so I regretted doing 2 before CD.Release order is the correct way to play no matter what.BTW you DID play stand alone Sonic 3, right? They removed content if you use the 3&K feature. It's better to play these 2 games stand alone, only use the con feature if you want to see the alt routes with Knuckles
>>11356296I remember when I first tried to play through the entire Sonic series, Master System and other weird titles included, by release order.Sonic and the Secret Rings was my breaking point.
>>11356369>Sonic and the Secret Rings was my breaking point.You got through Shadow and 06 but not this?
>>11356352I played S3&K straight through. What's removed?
>>11356369Secret Rings is one of the only good games
>>11356390>You got through Shadow and 06 but not this?The difference is I can play through those with a normal controller.The waggle shit for Secret Rings was too much for me.
>>11356403The final boss of Sonic 3, for one
>>11356296How do people manage to get the chaos emeralds in sonic2. I can fully complete all the other games, but getting the emeralds in sonic 2 is just straight up impossible for me. I have tried many times over the years, heck even tried before with save states and still could not do it.
>>11356530The one with the arms? The version I played had that
>>11356592it's memorization, I had to replay them several times myself. Also play as Sonic alone, Tails screws you taking up rings plus he's distracting.
>>11356731I could be wrong but also having Tails with you increases the number of rings you need, idk.
>>11356592I had a save state for every bonus level on an emulator on my PC, I trained like crazy
>>11356530You get that in Knuckles' playthrough now.Alternatively, play a ROM hack that adds it back in.>>11356592Remove Tails. His presence alongside Sonic boosts the ring requirements, and if he's AI controlled, he's only a liability unless you take the time to learn how to tard wrangle him like I and I'm sure plenty others have.
