Just how many 2D Sonic platformers ARE there?!

Post by BoneSnapDeez »

Okay these are the ones I've played and/or are aware of...

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic & Knuckles
Sonic CD
Knuckles' Chaotix
Sonic the Hedgehog: Pocket Adventure
Sonic Advance
Sonic Advance 2
Sonic Advance 3

After that I'm lost... what's on the DS? Ports? Remakes? Completely new 3D titles? Any old obscure stuff on SMS/GG?

You forgot Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 and Sonic Generations (well generations is half 3d half 2d).

Sonic Colors on the DS is essentially Sonic Rush 3.

I'd say more 2/3 2D, since half of the modern sonic levels are played from a sidescrolling perspective anyway.

Not really a platformer, but since you mentioned Sonic 3D Blast on genesis then you have to include the Saturn version.


And there are more for the gamegear. Granted they are the same as the master system, but some regions never got the master system versions. Just game gear.

Let's not talk about this version:

The 3ds version of Sonic Generations should be counted as well.

Knuckles' Chaotix does not feature Sonic as a playable character and it's not really a Sonic game from game mechanics perspective either.
