Actually, I don't think there's one single Sonic game that reaches the deepness of this story and the amount of things you can do after SA2B. This is easily one of the best Sonic games out there and I'm sure kids of today would enjoy this game almost as much as we did

I love the mirror Sonic and Shadow have with their first stage but in their respective ways. They both have to get away from the military but Sonic's says "Escape the military" while Shadow's tells you to break through it.

[@horusseth9496]

Bro, that shit went hard ASF 😂😂🤣😭

[@BiriBiri925]

1:44- 1:49 This is something that cannot be repeated in any "modern" game with a boost gameplay. This is pure skill, no scripts. The main difference between Adventure games and all the others is that if you want move fast, you have to learn how to control this game. Not hold down one button. You must deserve speed. This is practically a DMC from the world of platformers. The game give you tools, your task is to figure out what to do with them.

[@michaelotis223]

This. All of this.

[@isabellejoestar2455]

This is the kind of thing that puts SA2 above any other Sonic games for me. Everything feels mroe organic, more rewarding, more immersive. Work up and keep up your momentum and you'll feel the speed while going through the stage, play poorly and you'll feel as if you're going through a Mario 3D game stage. It actually feels GOOD to be playing well, modern Sonic games reward you from little to nothing since the boost button is literally a "automatically play the stage" button, even if you lose all your momentum you go back to top speed with a single button press. Same with the homing attack, you would actually need to aim it in this game, but also use it for building up speed or gain a little burst of movement. Modern homing attack just feels bland, it feels so still and... fake. Modern sonic stages feel like they could play themselves as you only need to press A in the homing attack sections since it targets on it's own, and the boost literally carries you through the level. Played through the entirety of Sonic Forces and no level made me feel like City Escape makes me feel. It didn't matter if I did well or poorly, it felt like just boosting completed the level.

[@reservoir4798]

@@isabellejoestar2455 I feel like forces is a bad example of a boost game but I do agree with how these games feel more rewarding. Doesn't mean boost games don't give their own sense of satisfaction tho

0:54 There’s a really cool but complicated trick you can pull off. If you cancel out of the Spin Dash before overshooting the ramp, more often than not, you will go over the bar and hit the spring concealed within the wooden container. If you pull this off right, not only will you get the Nice! and Cool! score bonuses, but you will avoid hitting the following spring from the one in the container, which can shave a little time off the clock.

[@lesgarsgame1941]

Did You Know This Detail In Sonic Adventure 2: In Sonic And Tails’s Stages (Metal Harbor, Mission Street), And Shadow And Eggman’s Stages (Radical Highway, Weapons Bed). In some sections of those stages there a few or even a lot of moment where FIGHTER JETS are flying in the background or even nearly right to you, some people say that "They cannot be destroyed." but in reality you can. For exemple in the stage of the video (Radical Highway) 1:22 in this section when fighter jets arrives they will be one where it’s passing by one of those G.U.N Bots if you’ve got a good timing and concentration you can destroyed it. Just like what Sonic GJB did. These type of things that means destroying Fighter Jets aren’t that important for the 100% of those stages that I mention in the beginning but if you are a score attack master or even trying to get the perfect score of these stages destroying those jets will be useful for you, cause they can bring a lot of points especialy when you have a combo.
