Sonic & Knuckles - Sega Genesis - Full Sonic Playthrough No Commentary

This was the last (2D Platform) Sonic game to grace the Sega Genesis. It is the conclusion to the story that began in Sonic 3. This is the Sonic playthrough. When playing as Knuckles you have alternate abilities and paths through the levels, so I will very likely get a Knuckles version up at some time.
In addition to being a full stand-alone game, you can also pair this cartridge with other Sonic games for the Genesis to add additional features to them. For instance, you can play as Knuckles in Sonic 2, which I will also probably get on here at some time.
Huge thanks again to Big Mac Special for adding the timestamps!

God this, man, THIS is the real deal. This game is enjoyable to play no matter how many times you did it and mainly for me it gave me the real hype when you hit the Lava Reef until the end it's just, astonishing. The soundtrack, you're pretty much in the center of the Earth where the Death Egg crashed, going towards your final encounter, Knuckles part... God, simply perfect, I remember when I was a kid I saw my brother playing it in the Secret Palace and I cried because I thought Knuckles was dying, and actually he was just tired since he has been through a lot taking care of either Sonic and the Master Emerald... Then he helps you out since Robotnik actually betrays him to gain power... Then you rush to fight Metal Sonic and then into the Death Egg to finish it once and for all and also that "giant talking egg"... The design of all the levels... You can clearly see when you are in the end of your adventure by only looking at it... This was a real game... Nostalgia completed, just wish I could go back time to watch my big bro play that once more, at least.

[@maunty1984]

LoungeJay yet, Sonicmania respects the taste of “ancient players “ whom trying to keep up with millennials . At least Sonics legacy has been survived from being ruined with such game

[@mjallen1308]

maunty1984 yeah but the way they made the stages - they don’t seem challenging bc they’re challenging. They’re all one mistake and it’s over. In one of the stages, you hit a yellow sphere to jump over a whole bunch of red spheres into another section of red spheres with 3 blue spheres and a yellow sphere and you have to practically guess which way to go to follow the BS layout to go back to the YS to get to the next section. You can’t even see it until you get to the section. It almost a guaranteed “here’s a stage you’ll have to place at least three times bc each section is different and you’ll have to remember which way to go after playing through 20 more stages to get another chance” and one of the stages was almost a rehash of one of the BS stages from S3K but with extra BS and YS. I don’t know about the Xbox version but the PS4 version suffers from EXTREME controller input lag on these stages. Not anything like the genesis version. I struggled on the BS stages on the genesis but THIS is ridiculous. Especially where they design the levels to where it’s purposely sped up as you collect the few BS here and there out of the handful on the stage and by the time you get to the last few the stage is going by way to fucking fast for you to even make a conscious decision and it’s lucky if you can even correct yourself. Mistime a jump and your stuck between bumper spheres with no choice but to hit a RS.

[@mjallen1308]

LoungeJay OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! Some of the levels seem like forced difficulty instead of actual puzzle challenge like the stages from S3K. Especially the one stage where you have to basically guess which way to go after hitting the yellow sphere and you can’t actually see it until you’ve already messed up. Couple that with SEVERE controller input lag on the PS4 version and it just seems like they purposely designed them to be frustrating to simulate challenge instead of being creative.

The stages don’t seem to be hard because they’re difficult and challenging, but hard because it’s oooooooh there’s a speed change, navigate down this tight corridor with red spheres everywhere and one wrong move and it’s all over! Or use the yellow sphere to jump then make a quick decision about where.... ooh couldn’t see the next move, too bad try again. Oh and see if you can remember the specific direction you need to go after playing 20 more stages. AND TH GODDAMN INPUT LAG! I always had trouble on them in S3K but THIS? I’m pressing the buttons and Sonic is just not moving at all but you press it too quickly and he’s all over the goddamn place. And the one level where you get a sphere or two and then nothing as it speeds up and you have to turn the corner - FUCK THAT SHIT! I absolutely DESPISE the blue sphere stages on Mania. Like just absolutely despise them. Even though I have about 4 left to finish, they just weren’t fun at all.

For 3 glorious days, I’d play the game for hours each day until my time ran out. Now at 42, I make a mid six-figure salary and could afford any gaming system I want. Yet no amount of money in the world could buy me a ticket back to my youth and those simpler times.
