Sonic 3 sucks
Sonic and Knuckles is better

simple as

>Cut game in half
>Release both halves separately for 70 dollars each
>Game is applauded to this day for this

Sonic 3&K has the best sprites and music but the worst level design and a lot of weird decisions like three kinds of special stages and charging full price for the 2nd half of the game.

>>725157182
Other way around, dummy.

>>725157450
Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles individually both have more levels than sonic 1 or 2.

>>725157182
This is wrong. Name the "shit" zones, there none. At least in 3.

God Tier
Hydrocity
Launch Base
Ice Cap

Great tier:
Carnival Night
Marble Garden
Angel Island

S3&K

God Tier
Mushroom Forest
Sky sanctuary

Great tier
Death Egg
Meh tier despite the music:
Lava Reef
Flying Battery

Level select to skip tier
Sandopolis

2 > 3&K > 1
There are no other sonic games.

>>725157587
Sonic 2 is more replayable so it doesn't matter

>>725157434
The biggest problem was 3 was shorter than the previous games, S&K had a ton more value.
I wish I could buy a game and it added a character to two other titles

>>725157434
Back then we didn't know better. Plus it was awesome to play as Knuckles in Sonic 2 and there were all sorts of rumors with other games

>>725157638
>haha what if I call every terrible stage in 3 god tier, then I'm right

>>725157123 (OP)
If I recall correctly this came out during a time where basically everything from an established franchise was being given 97/100 - 99/100 scores.

It’s the best because it has some kind of narrative, amazing graphics, top tier music, and a long and sprawling adventure.

For the people complaining about gameplay, what do you expect? It plays exactly like a Sonic game, except a few levels you can’t just hold right.

>it's bad because I say it is
Lava reef zones stupid rotating cylinders are way worse than the carnival night meme barrel, which wasn't even a thing when I was little but I didn't live in retard central USA

>>725157123 (OP)
is it hydro city or hydrossity?

>>725158353
City
ハイドロシティゾーン

>half the levels are shit
No need to listen to their shitty opinions. Every level in those games was good. Not a single bad one. Best Sonic game(s) ever made.

>>725158353
wetty society

So what the fuck was up with them suddenly not being able to use Michael Jackson's tracks after three decades?

>>725159314
The people who own MJs music are fags. They probably want some stupid amount of compensation.

>>725159314
It actually blew my mimd thar the PC collection songs were the ones originally intended for the game

>>725159119
Mostly agreed, but Sandopolis Act 2

>>725159818
It's not that weird since they sound much more like something from Sonic 2.

Congrats to anyone who can finish Sonic without the timer running out.

It isn't difficult, it is the easiest level in S3&K, it's just boring.

>>725160160
>>725160317
It just takes for fucking ever

Sonic has like only 2 good games

>>725160160
how the fuck did robotnik capture demon ghosts and ancient golems to force them to do his bidding and why didn't he do more of that?

Reminder that this is how Sega justified the game's glitches and bugs.

The first level is so kino. It's green hill on steroids, you earn upgrades, it's not just forests all of a sudden there's waterfalls and you platform to climb it while using upgrades and there's crazy cinematics of Eggman's robots setting the forest ablaze. Perfect-est introduction to a game.

>>725160717
Low key based

>>725160717
So it wasn't an obscure emulator issue or me hallucinating when that happened..

>>725161780
Nope, it was like that back in 1993. If you got stuck in the walls or floor, it was Eggman's diabolical speed trap.

>>725157638
>Great tier:
>Carnival Night
>Marble Garden
Neither of those are good. Launch Base sucks, too.

>>725160717
What was Sega thinking?
