Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, or S&K

In you opinion, what out of Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, or Sonic & Knuckles is the best game? My opinion,

1. Sonic 2
2. Sonic & Knuckles
3. Sonic 3
4. Sonic 1

Seems kind of unfair you left out Sonic CD as that's part of the main series, not a spinoff like Chaotix, Mean Bean Machine or Spinball. Mine would be:

1. Sonic 2
2. Sonic 3 and Knuckles
3. Sonic 1
#. Sonic CD
4. Sonic and Knuckles
5. Sonic 2 and Knuckles
6. Sonic 3
7. Sonic 1 and Knuckles (Blue Spheres)

Wow, I didn't know that Sonic CD was considered part of the main series. Guess I didn't know cuz I never played it.

Sonic CD took place between 2 and 3. Amy was introduced before Knuckles.

Here's the storyline (Had to update)

I'm rather sure it was after Sonic 1 since it's mostly similar to that and features the Tails coming soon image, though that could be Sonic Drift. Either way there isn't really much of a story and the Game Gear games have nothing to do with it.

[Marik]

It did use it's sprites, but it CD came out in 1993. The "Storyline" is in Sonic Mega Collection also.

[Kogen]

Could you quote it for me? I'm too lazy to get my GC hooked up again. And this site has a great story section from both the Japanese(translated) and American Sonic manuels.

[Marik]

Well that site you have there has all the games in order of release, Sonic 1, 2, CD, 3, Knuckles. And reminded me of Spinball too. Something I'd rather forget.

[Kogen]

Sonic Battle came out before Sonic Heroes too, doesn't really mean much.

[Marik]

Heroes came out before Battle. Heroes came out the 5th of January, Battle was the 7th.

[Supertails07]

The "Storyline" is in Sonic Mega Collection also.

Where?

I Have Mega Collection but never found anything like that.

Getting back on topic:
1. Sonic 3 and Knuckles
2. Sonic 3
3. Sonic 2
4. Sonic 1

Before anyone asks, Sonic 2 is so low because I never got passed chemical plant zone , besides one of the main reasons I became a Tails fan was the ability to fly.

[Lil Ninja]

wow, you never beat chemical plant zone? i had fun on that level.

1. Sonic 2
2. Sonic 1
3. Sonic 3
4. Sonic 3 and Knuckles

i loved sonic 2. i don't know why but i always wanted to play on the aquatic ruins zone.

[Supertails07]

I've beaten it now. Although never the carnival night zone (Boss). I would usually die when the water level rises, either getting crushed or drowning. I unfortunately only own 3 sonic games: Sonic advance 3, Sonic Mega Collection, and Shadow the Hedgehog. I was not the one to get any of them, my little brother was (besides Mega Collection) but in my family, even video games are shared, and a second copy of a game is almost never bought. (the only exception was Mario Kart DS because I got my DS off Ebay along with 5 games, so I have my own copy of that). wow I went off topic.

[odinsafeperson­­]

I thought chemical plant zone was a hard level the first few times I played the game.

[Lil Ninja]

er... i guess now would be the time to mention that i have not yet beaten Sonic 3 because of Carnival Night Zone. I.... haven't gotten to the boss yet. Either I'm really stupid or whatever the thing is is just tricky. I get stuck where you get caught in this lil area because a door comes down behind you and you see the path below the bouncy cylinder. i... haven't figured out how to get down there yet.

[Supertails07]

oops, I meant Casino night, love the level, hate the boss

But there you just push up and down repeatedly and the cylinder will move, that took me a bit to figure out myself though.

[Lil Ninja]

eh? eh?! T_T why won't it work for me? i try that. rrr.. i'll have to just try again. just push up and down? like jump on it? or push up and down on the d-pad?

[Marik]

on the thing itself, jump on it and while it goes up and down, use the momentum with the D-Pad to increase the speed and distance.

[Lil Ninja]

you know... i don't know what it is... but for some reason, that never worked for me. I guess I just suck at that one particular game. ....oh well, I don't care. I still love playing it.

[Marik]

Currently replaying Sonic 2 on Xbox 360.

[Lil Ninja]

sonic 2.... does the super sonic code still work on it?

[Ingolme]

I like Sonic 2 the best from the old games.

[Lil Ninja]

hmm.. that would be true for me too. though i think i have said that in a previous post (goes back through old posts) It ended up being the one I played the most out of all the sonic games
