I'm glad someone else has Sonic The Hedgehog 2 as their favorite. (Sonic 2 is my favorite platformer of all time) I've played some of Sonic 3. It's levels are okay but not anything truly special (Sonic 2 has the best levels out of any game), the bosses weren't that great and Carnival Zone is no Casino Night Zone (I gave up on the Carnival Zone level)
I agree, though the Death Egg can suck my eggs.
I haven't beaten that boss in over a decade and even then, I can't remember if it was me or my buddy who finally beat him.
Replaying the Sonic Mega Collection on the Gamecube really cemented that Sonic 2 is the pinnacle.
I think the music in Sonic 2 stands uncontested as the best music in the series (I catch myself humming Chemical Plant Zone's theme more than twice a week), but the experience and art design of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles is much more satisfying.
Also, it's also fair for me to say I hate the final few stages in Sonic 2. The Sonic Team builds these levels to take away Sonic's one strength: his speed. Planting steel crabs and Praying Mantises at the crest of a loop or just off-screen whilst Sonic is hurdling down a flat stretch is complete, utter bullshit.

I can't wait to get Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

I was a big fan of Sonic CD and the first Sonic Adventure. Sonic and the Secret Rings was pretty good too. The DS Sonic games arent bad either. But other than those they have been pretty bad lately.

"gunswordfist said:Yes, super Tails, only when you played Sonic 3 & Knuckles and getting all the emeralds and the super emeralds as Tails you could become super Tails that had animal friends around him, but still no match for Hyper Sonic and Knuckles"Shadow said:Super tails?""Sonic 3 when combined with Sonic & Knuckles makes the best genesis game there was

I love Sonic 2, it's the first game I ever played. But I think Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the ultimate Sonic game.
