[@uozr0585]

مااننقعقتيتتقاقتق

[@CaptainCoolzCT-]

Matt H yeah I think so aswell... Sonic 1 feels more like an adventure platforming game and less so about going fast. Sonic CD feels like an open world, objective-based game where you can choose to get all the Time Stones, destroy all of the Generators and Metal Sonic Generators, or do both. Sonic 2 feels like a game that wants you to go fast most of the time. There are a few slow levels (Mystic Cave, Metropolis) But they are well designed. Sonic 3&K feels like a mixture of Sonic 1 and Sonic 2. Angel Island Zone is a fast-paced level with a lot of obstacles (Like Green Hill Zone and Starlight Zone) and Sandopolis Zone is a slow paced level with many obstacles as-well (Like Labyrinth Zone and Marble Zone).

This is the game that made me respect Sonic as a hero. Jesus Christ the length he went to just to get that Master Elmerald back for Knuckles. Knuckles the same person who had been tormenting him for the majority of the game and even attacked him. But Sonic understood through it all that Knuckles was played by Eggman and that getting that Master Emerald back was the right thing to do. That shit is some real integrity mixed with willpower. As a kid that scene at the end where they returned the Emerald and Knuckles sees them off was soooo damn satisfying.

Eu chorei de tão lindo que o jogo consegue ser, pra mim, é impressionante como um console como o Mega Drive faz um jogo ser tão lindo, em uma época que até o hardware dos PCs era limitado. Mega Drive de fato é um console que não tive a oportunidade de conhecer pessoalmente, mas dos mais antigos, é um dos que mais me impressiona.

Esse jogo eletrônico é excelente até hoje! Os personagens, a jogabilidade, os cenários, a trilha sonora, proposta de enredo, dificuldade, a faixa etária, simplicidade, inocência e dose de diversão que ele traz faz dele um dos melhores já desenvolvidos na história! Entendo bem se ele já fez e ainda o fazem chorar! Que O Jesus Cristo e A Virgem Maria te abençoem!

The music in this one kicks total ass. Despite what Sega says, I am convinced MJ did the music. Too much of it sounds like something he would have made.

[@CaptainCoolzCT-]

He did. Angel Island Zone Carnival Night Zone Hydrocity Zone (I think?) And Ice Cap Zone. They’re the ones that he composed.

[@lilya2906]

Captain Coolz and I think he did the ending song of sonic 3 (doesn’t appear when you lock on Sonic and Knuckles)

Marble Garden sounds like something Stevie Wonder would have made!

[@chrisd8458]

@@CaptainCoolzCT- He definitely did HydroCity.... that one has the most references to his style. No other Sonic track has that kind of sound. It carries the weight of that distinct sound no one else has been able to successfully replicate. The whole game is littered with MJ nuances.....but it's the most obvious in Hydro City.
