What is your favorite Genesis Sonic game?

[A. Rian MacPherson]

My favorite has to be Sonic and Knuckles with the Sonic 3 game locked on because, this is a awesomely complete game. This is the game where Tails is at his best with his new abilities such as control over flying and swiming. It also features "Super Tails" Another cool addition to Tails' abilities. This game is where Tails was at his upmost best.

Same. His flying ability is great, and hes the only one that can reach a secret area in the palace zone (which is VERY short...). When you get to the area before teleporting upward, there should be some shafts you can fly up. if you successfuly fly up them and reach one of the sides, theres 1 of every monitor in the game!

im suprised no one has ever submitted this secret before... *Does so*

[A. Rian MacPherson]

Ha thats no secret Xen, I have been knowing that since. When Sonic and Knuckles came out and I locked them together. I did it when I was bored one day. and I started to goof around and you know.

I said Sonic and Knux. Tails is awesome in that. But Sonic 2 comes in close second.

I've never played a genesis... emulators rule.

[A. Rian MacPherson]

Ha Emuators. It's for those who got with a craze a little later than the others and can't find systems anymore.

This is a very tough decision for me, on one hand, S2 has many great zones and there are a lot of good hacks for this game, but S3&K has the awesomely excellent Lava Reef/Hidden Palace zone. I would have to say that I like S2 more though, however S3&K comes as a very close second.

Its also for people that have the originals, but lost it due to things like: Selling, Hazards such as fires and floods, Destroyed, and things like that. I have the Emulators to run them, but its never the same as playing the exact original... I always loved playing the genesis games over and over, even though it was pointless to just keep playing over and over nonstop. I always thought that both the level changed everytime i played it, and also that it stayed the same. Its a strange childhood fantasy, but it kept me playing, and i still do!

Sonic 2 comes in second, like everyone else, but the reason is because there really wasnt a special for getting all the emeralds, and they punish you for playing as Tails at the end by removing the little slideshow-like thing at the end with Tails looking up I still do play as Tails, but cmon, make something that will actualy do something special for winning as Tails! o.o

Play through Sonic 3 & Knuckles as Tails. Once you get all 7 emeralds and then the 7 Super Emeralds, you won't be disappointed. Tails has his own Super Form .

Oh, i already know about that. I was the first, and ONLY, person in my family to ever collect all the emeralds without using a game genie, and also to collect all 7 super emeralds. I have to admit though, getting the super emeralds was frustrating, i couldnt help but notice how you would have to choose your moves and plan what to do in it. If anyone in my family ever got all the NORMAL emeralds, i bet they never got them all by the time they got to the beginning of zone 5! (ice cap zone)

SUPER Tails SPOILER
Super Tails acts like Tails in every way. All he is doing is glowing yellow, he still has his orange fur, and looks the same. He runs a bit faster, and some may even say fly faster or fly longer (didnt notice that). Once all 7 Chaos and 7 Super Emeralds were collected, and 50 rings, hitting the jump button twice, like you would to fly, will morph him into Super Tails. The best part about being super Tails is not the invincibility, but you get 4 flickies that support you! When an enemy appears, 1 flicky will fly up to it, touch, boom, dead enemy, and the flicky flies back. When fighting bosses, you can just stand there and let the flickies do the work, except being crushed ALWAYS bypasses invincibility, remember that, same with falling to your doom.

There were other secrets too when collecting the last 7 super emeralds too.

Hyper Sonic
Sonic, instead of flashing yellow, flashes all kinds of colors, and large sparkles sorround him. He seems to run faster now, and touble stabbing the jump button makes a blinding flash, and sonic will zoom forward like he was in a fire bubble, but better!

Super Knuckles and Hyper Knuckles
Umm, i didnt yet obtain Super or Hyper Knuckles yet, but im trying to work on it... If any of you know whats added as Super Knuckles, then whats new in Hyper Knuckles, please post.

Anyone find how they always give the sidekick (Tails) less power? Both Knux and Sonic have 2 power forms, and Tails only has 1! Oh well, Super Tails is the one to rule them all. In his final battle, morph into Super Tails, hit Robotnik's nose, making the laser appear, and just walk to the right. The flickies will attack the laser thing, and you will win unhurt! But remember that at certain points, Super and Hyper forms will be canceled, usualy after boss fights, but at the last battle (2nd last for super sonic), once you take out the first 2 forms of Robotnik, he makes a run for it with the master emerald. Here, Super and Hyper forms are canceled, meaning you will have to make the final hits without using Uber Powers (no worries, all you have to worry about is the area behind you collapsing...).

Long ago, when people found out about debugging the game, people have found "Easy" ways to make the charactors turn into their super forms. With Tails, they said he would look wierd (when young, i imagined him having lots of the hair on his head and Tails being all tangled like), but it did prove there was a Super Tails. It wasnt completed since Sonic 3 was originaly gonna be Sonic 3 and Knuckles, but the due date was coming up too fast, and they had to wrap it up quickly, thats why in the Sonic 3 game, initiating the level cheat shows 2 levels from Sonic and Knuckles, but unplayable.

Whew... *pant, wheeze, cough* im tired now, and my fingers hurt, and the area behind my hear is having a sharp pain. Im gonna go play on the Xbox now.

Yeah, mileskun? So? I got with the craze, say, ten years late? Not that its a craze anymore, more that I like the old games, can't find the system, so I get the emulators.
