Sonic 1 was just a bad game. Sonic 2 just instantly felt so much smoother and so much easier to play, the level design was a billion times better, didn't have a ton of super cheap enemies to jump out of nowhere to get you.
Sonic 2 wasn't a bunch of hurry up & wait like the original, no underwater levels that make you have to wait for bubbles to pop up so Sonic can breathe again.
i think a lot of Sonic 1's flaws were the Sonic Team trying to figure out what they were doing, but i don't wanna blame them.
It's not Sonic Team's fault because they were under pressure and probably completely bogged down by Sega themselves because Sega had to compete against Mario.
the people in Sonic Team were decent people, but Sonic 1 the game itself sucks.
The only two things that made Sonic 1 memorable was the marketing and people liking the Green Hill Zone.

Sonic 1 wasn't a bad game by any means
>didn't have a ton of super cheap enemies to jump out of nowhere to get you.
Don't remember anything like that in the first game aside from some hidden drill guys in Labyrinth Zone and the rolling ones in Spring Yard (both are not really a problem if you aren't going for the emralds) but Sonic 2 had that fucking invincible crab that was more annoying than anything in 1

I just think that Knuckles is a fuckin' badass and a great sidekick character to balance out Sonic's lack of masculinity. Tails is even more of a whimp. If the game doesn't have Knuckles in it then it's just not up to par.

3&K > 1 = CD > 2
Also, Spring Yard is the best Zone in 1.

Why is everyone born in 2002 such a colossal faggot, and why are they so vocal on the internet?

>>11870620
you're just assmad they take unbiased looks untainted by nostalgia at video games they didn't grow up with

I was born in 1999. For some reason, 2002fags have outnumbered everyone else around my age online ~5:1 since like 2015. I almost never see people born in 2000 on the internet, and when I do, they were almost always born in the fall and didn't start kindergarten until 2006 so they were practically born in 2001 anyway. It's fucking weird.

what a very bizarre complaint, and one that i guarantee you probably only have a sample size of no more than 3 for.

How is Metropolis Zone with 3 acts of the same gay boring shit and ass music better than Scrap Brain Zone?

>>11870908
