IMO, Best Sonic game ever.
(lolmegacollection)

Hyper Tails is arguably the best thing ever.
Provided, you don't lose your insanity to the Blue Spheres xD

Discuss this awesome game

I've got this one on my old Mega Drive, actually! I've completed it with Hyper Sonic and Super Tails (On seperate save files, no less), and am going through the game again with Knuckles. So far, I'm at Carnival Night Zone with four Chaos Emeralds.

Sadly, I haven't played this game for a while.
But yeah, it's probably my favourite sonic game, and I LOVE sonic games.

Sonic is the easiest to beat the game with.
Tails, IMO, is better then Sonic, but some of the bosses for him can be annoying.
I'm just terrible with Knuckles. But if I remember correctly, I have 3-4 Emeralds and am stuck at that Aquatic Ruin boss.
Seriously, you have to let him drop bombs, then use the water spout to jump into the air and hope you randomly fall on said boss.
Its just annoying :/

Ironic really, considering how in the later 2D Titles, Sonic was generally considered the hardest one to beat the game with. But I've been able to progress somewhat with Knuckles, I think. Back from the age when he was an effective character in his own right, rather than being portrayed as an angry old man with oversized hands.

Yeah... you know how when you're like 8 years old, you can play the same game over and over again and never get tired? (RA2 doesn't count.) Sonic 3 and Knuckles was that game for me. Probably played through every stage with every character at least 10 times. Except the Doomsday zone... I think that was more like 2 or 3 times.

I remember trying to hit Robotnik when he took the giant emerald in the Hidden Temple zone over and over again, even though I knew you couldn't beat him... lol.

Guys, Tails is the perfect anti to the final boss.
(the one with the giant hands and what-not)

Why? Sonic + Tails is just broken.
And Sonic becomes even more overpowered when you get all 16 (8 emerald + 8 Super Emerald) plot devices with him.

Its funny, I can relate the same way with Spyro 1, 2, and 3.
Heck, even today still randomly play through them every now and then.
(...Though I usually do everything but the Speedways, as they are just flat-out annoying)

Even though you cant kill him, its still fun to try and do so :3

Unless of course you do this-

Lolwut, I don't even know what he did there. Some kind of debug menu? Is that even doable on the Genesis, or just in an emulator?

Yes, he did it using debug mode. But seriously, who would have imagined that Robotnik was in reality, an evil Blue Flicky?

On the topic of sonic, have any of you guys played or seen some of the sonic 2 betas?

Indeed, I wonder if I have them on this laptop...

I used to be interested in this kinda thing a while ago, and the sonic 2 betas in particular were quite fun.
I love the fact that they were working on a genocide city zone

Also, can we not have this as an official sonic thread?

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 13, 2010, 01:42:10 PM »

Suppose we could.

And whilst we're at it, maybe I'll make a Mega Man thread whilst I'm at it :P

MEGA MAN!!!
God, I still remember how excited I was when I finally beat megaman 2.
And how annoyed I was at the rubbish ending

What order did you take the Robot Masters in? I did it-

Metal Man
Wood Man
Air Man
Bubble Man
Heat Man
Crash Man
Flash Man
Quick Man

Scorpion · « **Reply #16 on:** December 13, 2010, 01:49:29 PM »

IIRC, I did it

Metal man
Air Man
Bubble Man
Crash Man
Flash Man
Quick Man
Heat Man

And then ofcourse, I beat dr willy

Cor, you're probably the first one I've seen who didn't fight Quick Man last.

And it's Doctor Wily, by the way

Scorpion · « **Reply #18 on:** December 13, 2010, 01:55:35 PM »

Meh, I call all the mega man characters inapropriate names, goodness knows why though.
I call dr light santa claus, which made the scene where you see him in jail at the beggining of mega man 9 even more hilarious.

And quick man (and his stage) is an absolute bitch!
Once you've got the flash stopper (or whatever it was called) though, he's beatable.

J · « **Reply #19 on:** December 13, 2010, 01:56:00 PM »

The 'Beating Eggman' movie made me LOL
I guess you can kill Eggman, just, he has like a crazy high amount of HP, and can only be killed if you copy the video.
Of course, the game becomes confused and doesn't know what to do next, so it just sits there.
Either way, its hilarious.

@Megaman2: As soon as you beat Metalman, you win the game.
