It takes all types. People like what they like; it's not a competition.

I do like how in Sonic Adventure, in English, Eggman is explicitly an insult. But then in Adventure 2 he's calling himself Eggman now. Like he's just owning it.

Adventure 2 is the one I played first, after having only ever played Sonic 1 and 2 and seen some of the Adventures of Sonic cartoon before that. So I only knew the name Robotnik, and when I first heard the name Eggman I thought "Oh, Dr. Robotnik's been replaced with this guy?" [lol]

My first Sonic games were Adventure 2 Battle at a friend's house and Rush by myself, and I remember said friend also had some DVDs of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog we would watch together and I remember being confused by the name "Robotnik" in the cartoon, though I was easily able to tell it was the same character.

Sonic 2 was mine, but Sonic Adventure 2 was the first one I ever beat as a kid. My sibling showed me episodes of Sonic SATAM and I wound up getting really hooked on Sonic X, or at least when was able to catch it. Somewhere along the way I picked up Sonic Advance 2, 3, and Battle, and some episodes of Sonic X that were watchable on the Gameboy Advance (so I could enjoy them during roadtrips). I ended up with Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic 2006. Picked up Sonic Generations and then Mania much, much later.

Oh, forgot about Sonic Riders (bullsh-t 2nd level) and Zero Gravity (A-ranked all the side missions to unlock Super Sonic). Good times.

I first saw him referred to by both names in a magazine, so I guess I just assumed that he went by both.

Strong disagree on the Classic Games being completely plotless, the overarching backstory of the Chaos Emeralds ties every major Classic Game up until Adventure together, with the collection of ancient ruins, lost civilizations, prophetic murals, and the dangers of tapping the emeralds for power leading up to Perfect Chaos's eventual appearance.

It's why Labyrinth, Aquatic ruins, Marble Garden, both Hidden Palaces, and Hydrocity have so much in common, why warnings about the Chaos Emeralds exist in multiple islands, and why I suscribe to the hypothesis that Angel Island used to be the eastern half of West-side Island.

And then Adventure 2 reveals that Robotnik has been chasing his Grandfather's incomplete research on ancient civilizations and their use of the Chaos Emeralds all this time, which continues to bear fruit until after Shadow the Hedgehog.

Heck, even the Kukkus (Tails Adventure) and the Babylon Rogues (Riders) seem to have a connection that I'm surprised they never got around to exploring.

So, I got Origins.

Playing the story mode is a bit interesting and I so far like the cutscenes.

Only played 1 and CD so far, and got the bad endings of each.

Tomorrow I’ll play 2. 3&K will likely be started on Sunday.

BTW, is the version of CD in Origins only using the US Soundtrack with no option to play the better Japanese soundtrack?

Is to play the superior soundtrack...

There's a new classic collection? Awesome, already bough one for the saturn, ps2 and ds over the years but another one wouldn't do any harm.

Actually the story mode sounds an interesting concept and addition.

In practice, it's mostly just playing all the games in order, with new cutscenes interspersed between them.

It finally gives Amy her tarot card reading though.

She's had it since Sonic CD's manual, it just never came up in-game before in any meaningful way.

I do hope we get a classic game with playable Amy someday.

The story mode solves an issue with the classic games, and that the relevant backstories of the characters were only in mannuals, so now you can see Tails being bullied (thanks for nothing, Movie 2), and see Amy's affinity for magic (thanks for nothing, Adventure games), and Knuckles getting tricked (nothing, you showed this)

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

Thank god for the ability to retry Special Stages using coins.

Does Sonic 1 add a 7th Chaos Emerald?

Got to Wing Fortress. Have to break because I’ve got work.

For some reason Tails doesn’t respawning when he goes off-screen, and he continuously jumps so I constantly heard the jumping sound and it’s annoying.

Yup, that's a consistent issue I've heard with Sonic 2.

Double post: Got to Lava Reef Act 2.

Sonic 3’s music sounds muffled compared to the other themes. I hate how the Super Sonic theme sounds like it’s from Sonic 4. The prototype tracks are fine but sound off.

Sonic 1 does have an option for a 7th Chaos Emerald, complete with Super forms! Unfortunately, just like the mobile version, you have to do it through level select, and can only use it on a No Save run.

Enable level select (up-down-left-right on the Sonic 1 title screen), and the option will be there, as well as some other fun things like Sonic 3 shields!

Sonic 2 has a similar menu in its level select (up-up-up, down-down-down, left-right-left-right on the title screen), by playing song 00 in sound test a few times.

[up]I honestly wouldn’t even be able to get it as I suck at the Sonic 1 special stages in the 2013 version. The better framerate screws me up.

Sonic 2 and 3 are the only ones in my Story mode run where I bothered with getting all Emeralds.
