With over 150 levels to choose from, cutting it down to just five proved to be one hell of a task. The spiky blue furball is renowned for his speedy levels, intertwined with a few frustrating moments and whilst this list may not be the best from another point of view, for me, it certainly represents why Sonic is so popular and still so endearing 21 years on. Mario’s levels certainly aren’t as memorable as the myriad of offerings from Sonic games and part of that is down to their unpredictability, speed and downright crazy gameplay. Read on to see whether a 2D game or one of the oft-maligned 3D games grab top spot…
The Sega CD (aka Mega CD) had some classics that still live on today. Here's the 7 best Sega CD games & how to play them on modern consoles.
Series X/S + Dev Mode. It's a shame the retail mode emulators got removed, dev mode looks like a pain in the ass.
Final Fight was a great game on the CD, not only on the system but as a fighting game of the time as well. Up there in some ways with Streets of Rage 2 IMO. It's too bad they didn't continue putting the rest of them on there, the music is top notch too.
There is some wrong information in this article. I just checked for Sonic CD and Shining Force CD on Nintendo Switch eShop (as stated in the article) across 4 different regions, and they are not available.
Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?
Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.
Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.
Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2
Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭
The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.
They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.
Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr
Nothing new sonic forces was meant to be far darker then sega got cold feet and they did the same old power of friendship ending
I know they can only choose five but I think Oil Ocean in Sonic 2 hands down man...probably the BEST EVER especially the music for that level...Then their is Metropolis in Sonic 2...Then EVERY SINGLE LEVEL in sonic and Knuckles...and of course Sonic Adventure (druling)
I always loved the casino level.
Emerald Hill for me. But I like the Jazz music in Casino Night. Sonic 2 is my favorite in the franchise.
Aquatic Ruin!!!
