The Genesis trilogy, Sonic CD, and even Knuckles Chaotix represented the visual pinnacle of the series. The art direction featured in these games is miles better than anything from the Saturn era and beyond, and it all holds up today. "

Agree. But I think I'm one of the only people out there who loved the art direction of Sonic 3 & Knuckles (the "more attitude!" version of Sonic. I just loved the quality of the animation) just as much, if not more than, Sonic 1 and 2's version of the blue hedgehog. The anime style that the game has taken on isn't nearly as good. It just serves to make it feel even more like a kid's game.  But the biggest flaw to any modern Sonic game, especially the modern 2D ones on handheld platforms, is the level design. "
