Vectorman is an incredibly underrated game. The technology that went into the graphics and just how good it feels to double jump around killing things with your double jump... god damn. Such a unique and comfy atmosphere too.

the best genesis game is mutant league football or gunstar heroes or nhl 94

Really? You think Vectorman, one of the most "uncomfy" games from my childhood is comfy? There's so many unselling aspects to its presentation, which isn't a bad thing.
>>
>>339793287
When I say Sonic 3 I usually count S&K as well since they were supposed to be one game to begin with. But yeah, Sonic 3 alone is weaker than 2, although I will argue that it's better thant the first one.

This. The "lel xd gotta go fast" shit is just the lore and how SOME parts of levels are designed. And honestly, those parts are done pretty well. I used to speedrun one of them and when learning to go fast you start to see a lot of intricacies in the level design that you wouldn't have otherwise. It's pretty neat.

Neither of those games can be broken by a feather cape power-up that lets you skip entire level designs with little effort.

Sonic has NO powerups whatsoever.

And despite that I CAN "skip" stages in SMW, I often don't.
>>
>>339792957
Underrated? Maybe.
Flawed? Definitely.

The timer, length of the powerups, the fact that you can't hold onto powerups and the general uselessness of several transformations that would otherwise be fun as shit to use for longer periods are an testament to that statement.
>>
>>339794048
Sonic 1 is the only game that actually does that with some consistency, but even then you can actually skip the waiting parts by making your jumps with carried momentum count.

That section on Marble Zone where you're "supposed" to push a block and slowly navigate through the lava on it to the next side can be skipped if you run and jump using the platforms that are above the lava.

Sonic 1 and 2 don't have power-ups because they don't really need something like that, especially since the games' pinball physics on their own can be used to do a lot of crazy shit and access different paths if you time your jumps on the right terrain.

And I usually don't ignore stages with the cape in SMW too, but I just find it baffling that once you find that secret area the game pretty much hands you over a power-up that can easily do that. This is one of the reasons why I prefer SMB3 over SMW.

Because you suck. It's not that hard to be precise when the platforms are always as long as 3 Sonics by minimum.

I don't understand what you meant by this, but whatever.

Basically you just fucking suck. I can nonstop playthrough Sonic 3&K (just had done so not too long ago too) and had no problems with all of the above (baring the Invincibility music, IF it's S3 specifically, fuck that one.) And before you say it, because by this post >>339793560, I love Sonic Unleashed. Some how this game in question sounds like it might be your favorite, if I'm not mistaken?
