What do you think the level would of been like?
shit
didn't this zone become mystic cave? if so then mystic cave
Reminder SEGA denied Taxman and Stealth the rights to make a Sonic 3 port

You're thinking Sonic 2.
Desert Dazzle is a scrapped stage from Sonic CD.
>>319854098
Sega can't release a port of anything related to Sonic 3 (outside of having it run through an emulator) because of legal issues with its music.

A fucking stupid one where no matter if you miss every jump, there will be like 12 more paths so you can finish the stage without trying.
>>319853920
>tfw there was so much cut content in the classic Sonic games
>tfw some of those stages could have been your favorites
Why didn't they finish them before they started to suck
>>319855020
because they gotta go fast
Classic Sonic stages make my dick rock hard, am I the only one? Too bad I can't post any because they are TOO FUCKING BIG

>>319855323
Sonic 3 and knuckles had the best stages. Whenever I think of it I just want to go back and play them again. Especially Carnival Night Zone.
>>319855323
>CD stages
Just fucking kill me. It's one thing to do a high road-mid road-low road thing with the additional challenge of collecting 50 to 100 rings. It's another to also make it a quest to find a specific container after also using a Past Post to eventually beat the level with 50 to 100 rings.
>>319855583
>It's another to also make it a quest to find a specific container after also using a Past Post to eventually beat the level with 50 to 100 rings.
CD, you can either smash containers or just get 50 rings before the end of the stage and collect time stones.
Either will give you the good ending, iirc.
>>319855559
That's my most hated stage.
>>319855583
Agreed, CD is the only one I didn't get, but mostly from a gameplay perspective.
>>319855707
I'm terrible at the time stone stages, because the UFOs have a randomized "pattern". Every time I'm about to hit one, it kills all momentum and jolts in another direction.
>>319855747
>mostly from a gameplay perspective.
I feel like the Metal Sonic fight could have redeemed it, but the spikes killing momentum ruined it. The fight in Generations is so much better.
>>319855852
The only part where generations actually improved on the original.Where's my fucking sequel you hacks, stop ripping off Mario Galaxy
>>319855852
The UFOs aren't random, and the special stages in the remake give me little trouble since the sprite scaling isn't shit in them anymore so it's easier to tell where stuff is.
>>319856001
>stop ripping off Mario Galaxy
One, they did that once.
Two, Galaxy ripped off Mad Space from SA2.
I never understood the appeal of original Sonic
Can someone try to explain it? You can go fast but it isn't truly a speed run game. It has shitty platforming that always felt forced in purely because they didn't want you to go fast the whole time . I just can't understand but always wanted to
>>319856086
>Two, Galaxy ripped off Mad Space from SA2
You mean "made functional" right? Mad Space ripped off Raphael the Raven etc.
>Lost Planet is the most recent Sonic game
What re they even doing at this point? Are they going to go all konami on us?
>>319856186
going fast is fun
using your fast to overcome/skip obstacles is also fun
>>319855852
On the subject of Metal Sonic, what made him the only one of the robot Sonics to go on to appear in later games?
>>319856186
Branching paths everywhere. Replayability is through the roof.
It was also a technological marvel when it first came out.
>>319856186
>forced platforming
>>319856354
His design is a lot more simple and recognizable.
>>319856354
Least-shitty design.

>What re they even doing at this point? Are they going to go all konami on us?
Sonic Boom.The cartoon is like Kung Pow. 25% the greatest thing you've ever seen, 75% the worst thing you've ever seen.
>>319856354
Mecha > Metal > Silver
>>319856354
Sega really liked his CD design. I mean, I don't blame them for THAT much. But to pretend he suddenly was the only robot Sonic was pretty fuckin dumb. All that potential, gone.
>>319853920
>would of
>>319856354
Silver Sonic and Mecha Sonic are kind of lame.
Also, I'm sure the in-canon reason is that Metal Sonic is the final version and Silver/Mecha are both prototypes.
This begs the question as to why Mecha Sonic could go Super but oh well.
>>319856354
The design was reused for Sonic R from Sonic CD and stuck. He was going to have a new design in Sonic the Fighters but they decided against it (you can still hack and play as the new design).
You have to realize, after CD he didn't appear in any capacity beyond spinoffs/multiplayer/cameos, so they just used the most recent.
In Sonic Heroes, the next game to actually use him as a boss, he got a different design.
>>319853920
>would of
>>319856186
>shitty platforming
>forced in
You understand there is almost zero appeal in just holding right forever, don't you?
>>319856186
The old games are about physics, spectacle, and replayability, not going fast, though going fast is certainly possible if you know what you are doing.
Sonic being about speed is a marketing thing, and something he ended up being about in later games. The Genesis games aren't like that.
>>319856539
>But to pretend he suddenly was the only robot Sonic was pretty fuckin dumb
Metal slowly looked more like Mecha in Heroes, didn't he?
>>319856517
I watched an episode and it was pretty terrible with 4-5 decent jokes. It's beneath the threshold for what I'd consider to be acceptable use of my time.
>>319855852
You think they're hard the way they are? The windows 95 PC version had a glitch that made them run twice as fast as they were supposed to. Some nights I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking about those levels.
>>319856186
someone post that Miiverse post where the guy complains about a spring then threatens to kill someone
>>319854729
Are you referring to Michael Jackson's work on the music? Because if he wasn't even credited in the initial release I don't think it's an issue, all the console re-releases have the original music.
>>319856623
but after he's defeated he reverts back to his original form.
>>319856623
That dumb edgelord design in Heroes didn't look much like Mecha to me. And don't even get me started on Metal Madness or whatever it was called.

That's still consistently better than most episodes of modern Spongebob.

But anon, CD was released before 3&K.
>>319856354
Why didn't Mecha Sonic reappear? They even do a credits fake out with him if you don't get all the emeralds. It always seemed like he should return later even if he was a super underwhelming boss but every Sonic boss tends to be underwhelming.
>>319856828
Is there? All I remember about Adventure 1/2 is what a glitchy mess those were too.
At least 2006 had a huge plot, tons of playable characters and creative physics.
>>319856758
I had just assumed you either had or emulated the sega CD version.
Well, yeah. There's your answer. They're hard as fuck because they weren't supposed to run that fast.

>>319856981
>had a huge plot
A huge, nonsensical, BAD plot. That at least had the courtesy of never happening after timetravel shenanigans.
>tons of playable characters
Sonic had Knuckles and Tails, Silver had Blaze, and Shadow had Rouge. That's not more characters than Sonic Adventure, if quantity is all you're after.
>creative physics
That's what you're going with, huh?

Anon, even if you've forgotten that Amy and E-123 Omega were in 2006, 7 is still a bigger number than 6.
There is no excuse.
>>319857623
Metal Sonic.
>>319857623
You play them so briefly, you may as well count all the characters in SA2B's multi as separate.
So why aren't we counting Tikal, Chaos, the Chao, Metal Sonic, and Amy if we're counting the one-off characters from 06?
>>319856939
He does, in one of the tanks in Eggman's base in Sonic Adventure.
There's no reason to use him since Metal Sonic is both stronger and faster.
>>319857728
Metal Sonic is just a reskin of Sonic and changes literally nothing about how you play.
iirc, he also isn't in Adventure, just Adventure DX, and you have to get all the emblems to use him, and you only get him in Trial mode, so most people have never even touched him.
>>319857841
Everyone in Adventure that isn't Sonic has minimal content, which usually takes place in a single section of one of Sonic's levels.
Amy has just 3 levels in Adventure.
If you skip cutscenes, her whole story is probably shorter than the amount of time you play as her in 2006.
Big and Gamma have 4 stages (unless you count Gamma's tutorial stage with no obstacles), but they are much shorter than Amy's stages.
Also, this is a Tails level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emL3S_YU6PA
Do note: I'm not saying having tons of characters with unique playstyles is a good thing. I think it prevented deep or polished gameplay and nearly killed the series.
>>319856562
>why Mecha Sonic could go Super but oh well.
simple, Knuckles' campaign isn't canon. It all takes place in his head after Egg Robo throws a bomb at him and he goes into a coma.
>>319858903
You realize none of this stands to make 06 look better by comparison, right? Lots of those characters felt like reskins in 06, had tiny areas to explore (that usually takes place in a single section of one of Sonic's levels), and were few and far between.
>Also, this is a Tails level
Not at all the average. Consider that a knowledgeable person's shortcut. An extreme speedrun. Most people would probably follow the paths. It also bears pointing out that he only got a B rating for doing that, because he skipped all the points in the level.
>>319856684
>all the console re-releases have the original music
That's because all the current re-releases are just roms running through an in-house emulator, which isn't the same as the game being recreated with an entirely new engine.
>>319856354
silver sonic's buzzsaw sound goes right through you
>>319859440
>It also bears pointing out that he only got a B rating for doing that, because he skipped all the points in the level.
I'm not part of this discussion, but I'd just like to remind everyone that you can jump off of a specific point of Final Rush early on and beat the level in 1/4 of the intended time. It still only nets you a C.
>>319859440
>You realize none of this stands to make 06 look better by comparison, right?
Yes, I realized the way it sounded and wrote a note explicitly stating that I thought having many characters with different playstyles was a bad thing for the series (with the implication that 2006 is the worst of the bunch because it tries to pull off the most playstyles by far).
My intent is absolutely not to defend 2006.
>It also bears pointing out that he only got a B rating for doing that, because he skipped all the points in the level
No, what happened is he failed the B rank mission the game had him playing because he didn't collect 50 rings.
Adventure does not have an actual rank system (Adventure 2 was the first to do that), and the points tallied up at the end of every level have absolutely no value whatsoever as far as I know.
