>People always cry about Marble or Labyrinth being slow
>Never say anything about Scrap Brain, the absolute worst offender in this regard

>>11893303 (OP)
Nobody says Scrap Brain is slow, because it isn't slow.

>>11893303 (OP)
best music in the game. maybe even amongst all the genesis games

>>11893327
>>11893337
Contrarian bullshit.
>>11893303 (OP)
because they don't make it this far

>>11893712
Scrap Brain has a banging BGM.

>>11893303 (OP)
Scrap brain is fine and the 3rd act can be skipped if you know what to do

Marble zone is excruciating, happens way too early and water levels in Sonic games suck cock they're never good

>>11893303 (OP)
Scrap Brain is pure ludo, probably the best Sonic level of all time
And I think you know it, thus the seethe

>>11893712
>sonic 1 is... le bad actually!
The only contrarian here is you, zoomie

>>11893303 (OP)
Marble Zone and Scrap Brain are good, Labyrinth is so bad I unironically just turn the game off when I get to it.

I'm a labyrinth zone apologist. I always find it charming, but aqautic ruin from 2 blows it away. Scrap Brain is fun, I especially like the call back to Labyrinth in Act 3, makes it feel like the mechanised Scrap Brain Zone was built atop the old ruins.
Anyway, my favourite zone is Spring Yard zone, killer music and backgrounds, feels like I'm playing billiards or pool instead of pinball which isn't something Sonic re-explores in later games (to my knowledge)

I’ll never forget feeing so accomplished reaching Scrap Brain Zone legitimately, as a kid, with 1 life left, and falling in that first trapdoor pit. My mouth fucking dropped. Thankfully, Sonic really teaches skill in reflexes that I managed to get their faster on successive playthroughs.

She didn't say that but I will. Sonic 1 is best Sonic. Other Sonics are too easy, which is saying something considering the first one is practically a cakewalk, too.

>>11893303 (OP)
Scrap Brain is obviously the most kinetic of the three slow zones, don't know what you're smoking
Labyrinth when you don't stop for bubbles and just barely make it to the surface is alright

Nothing is worse than the one section in Marble where you have to ride the block to the right and take the eruption, since there are other segments where you can jump across bricks and make it without stopping

Why has everyone been drawing Sonic pale blue ever since Mania?

>>11894939
He was always a paler shade of blue in promotional art, iinm. I don't know what Sonic Mania is, though.

>>11894939
Generations is what started the trend of classic being consistently lighter blue.
Older artwork wasn't consistent, not even within the same manual.

>>11895129
Looks pretty pale in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oli5eRdQP2Q

>water levels in Sonic games suck cock they're never good
Aquatic Ruins and Hydrocity are fun zones though, mainly because you can take the top path and skip all the water shit.

>>11894939
That drawing has more pastel colors in general but to answer your question because SEGA said only nushit Sonic gets to be the right color bro don't question the mandate bro

>>11894943

You missed out on Mania? Go buy it, great 2D Sonic game.

>people cry about the levels you play right after the first zone
>never say shit about the very last level of the game, where you're already use to the bullshit
Yeah I wonder why OP

>>11894939
Blame Sonic Generations
They basically did what Sakurai did with Mega Man and over did the result for Genesis era Sonic.
>Inb4 Context?
They tried to keep it accurate to the original sprite seen in the first second and zeroth (CD) game and got a bland result.

A fired artist did his 3D appearance better.

I'm not super into Sonic and my kid doesn't really like video games at all so that's probably why. I enjoyed the first five 16 bit titles and that's about it.
