Been playing the old games for the first time since my kid seems to love sonic, but I dont get the games. They want you to go fast, but theres more stuff going on with the stage, making you want to stop and explore. Also there's platforming, but sonic doesnt stay very put so its tricky landing. Its definitely not as fun and straightforward as mario and can be harder for younger kids. I know standards were lower back then, but sonic in no way stands up to mario games.

The entire point of 2D Sonic is to play it over and over again, learning routes so you can try to beat the levels quicker and quicker. It differs from Mario in that regard.

Yes. 2d sonic does kinda suck. Thought so even back then. They'd be better today if they're in widescreen

No, especially for their time. They had bigger stages than Mario games of the same time period with more power ups scattered about.

Most 2D Sonic sucks. Sonic 3&Knuckles and Mania don't suck, because the levels are actually designed properly.

But the power ups seem useless? Invincibility when you already are while jumping? Attracting rings just from 2 cm distance?

The elemental shields all have platforming applications. Attracting rings is just a nice bonus.

Yes! My biggest problem! Level design is a mess! Sonic 3 did seem like a step up in that it actually tried in being a better platformer.

Attracting rings is only the Lightning Shield's thing anyway. The Bubble Shield makes you immune to drowning and the Flame Shield makes you immune to fire damage which are both pretty sweet.

Tried a couple of them, but I like exploring and always ran out of time or couldnt go back/up werent really the games for me.

Bosses were decent, but really the only fun I had. I brute forced my way through them exploring every part of a level before I would beat it even if that meant running out of lives >_>

Sonic is a constantly mishandled franchise that people can only make excuses for 85% of the time.

The point of Sonic has always been replayability. You get this exhilarating rush of knowing the level (by first having explored it) and being able to breeze through it at breakneck speed.

Just to put it into perspective. People who don't like to replay games will probably not like a lot of Sonic games.

I honestly don't like Sonic 1 or 2 that much but that's relatively speaking. They are still good games. They are better than Mario 1 and 2 IMO (which are also good games)

"Sonic was never good" is one of the stupidest gaming opinions you hear on the internet

People talk poorly of them but I still find even Sonic 1 to be well designed. There's plenty time on reaction checks to at least make it to the lesser route if you can't get the better one. Just got no reactions if you can't keep up.

I could really never get into them. The first level is always great, but then it pretty much always instantly slows you down in the next level.

This is literally only true in Sonic 1

CD kind of sucks, but the other 3 are still pretty fun imo. Especially with the extra characters in Origins.
