Sonic 3 definitely describes the perfect sonic experience. Add in Sonic & Knuckles locked on and it gets even better.
I agree. It's the ultimate Sonic experience if you ask me.

If Sonic Adventure could have the entire game play like the first stage, it would have been awesome. Sadly third stage on is fairly poor.

I need to play the SMS/GG sonics again, its been years.

You know how Sega could completely redeem the franchise?

Sonic 3 & Knuckles HD.

The Sonic games have gotten progressively worse from Sonic 1 --> most recent Sonic games. Seriously, every entry has been a little poorer than the last - to the point where the series is now horrendous. That means:

1. Sonic the Hedgehog - 1991 - BEST
2. Sonic 2 - 1992 - WORSE
3. Sonic CD - 1993 - WORSENING MORE
4. Sonic 3 - 1994 - WORSENING STILL
5. Sonic & Knuckles - 1994 - WORSER
6. Sonic 3D - 1997 - MORE WORSER
7. Sonic Adventure - 1998 - WORSERER
8. Sonic Adventure 2 - 2001 - EVEN WORSERER
9. Sonic Heroes - 2003 - MORE WORSERER THAN EVEN THOSE
10. Shadow the Hedgehog - 2005 - STILL WORSERER YET
11. Sonic the Hedgehog - 2006 - WORSERERER
12. Sonic and the Secret Rings - 2007 - WORSTEST
13. Sonic Unleashed - 2008 - WORSTESEST
14.? Sonic and the Black Knight - 2009 - BY FAR THE WORST SONIC EVER?

The spin-offs (Spinball, Sonic Riders, etc.) have been of more irregular quality - meaning they haven't necessarily gotten worse as time progressed.

As for the portable games, they are all over the place - I think the GBA games are better than the Game Gear games, but the PSP games are kinda poor...

In any case, Sega just needs to put out something like this: http://www.racketboy.com/retro/sega/200 ... in-hd.html in which Sonic is alone (no friends), does not talk, and is completely, entirely in 2D. Make it a $10-20 download and then all could be forgiven.

This has to be the most broken post I have seen in a long time. Everybody has opinions but learn what words are. I mean "worserer"? What the hell.

Man, what's with all the Sonic 2 hate? I've always considered it to be far and away the best in the series. I wasn't aware that this was a controversial opinion, though I know some prefer Sonic CD.

I know right? I figured that everyone's favorite Sonic game pretty much went like this, they either liked Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, or Sonic CD.

I don't really understand whats wrong with Sonic 2, and I especially don't understand how it's easy. I actually thought this game was way harder than Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I breezed through that game as a kid and still do now. Sonic 2 always gave me problems after you got to Oil Ocean.
