The great debate.

2. 3 is technically better in most ways, but it drags on for too long.

2

2 is better in every way except the special stages. Finding the big rings and getting the blue balls is an objective improvement.

Does it? I feel like sonic 2 has the shit that drags on more

I feel the same way, I had 2 lower than 1 for a while until I replayed it a few months back cause I felt it dragged a little bit

3 and Knuckles, 2 and Knuckles, 2, 3, 1, Sonic and Knuckles.

2 gets dragged once you hit the last few harder levels that focus more on platforming than speed, but that's not the bad kind of drag, it just means the game is now difficult so you can't mindlessly race around. Scrap Brain was better than Metropolis though, Metropolis is more annoying than difficult.

3&K gets dragged because the last levels have zero challenge whatsoever and it becomes a "hold direction to win" game. Even Death Egg is just long long paths of running with minimal challenge between (it even has autoscroller parts!!), maybe the sub-boss is the only one which is actually difficult.

Great games. Americans are obsessed with ranking things for some reason.
