    visuals: it have a very distinctive artstyle and character design.
    Gameplay: inertia mixed with a quite vertical level design.

    It's okay. 3 stages per zone is too much though.

    Nobody wants to admit it, but Sonic 1 is among the best platforming games ever made. It's addictive, compelling and unforgettable. Every single aspect is well executed.

      All four of the 90s 2D Sonic games are top tier platformers. They just focus on different things and have wildly different goals. People like to say certain ones are bad, but they're all leagues above the competition.

      It's a shame Sonic 2 gets the short end of the stick as far as fan ports go.

          Sonic 1 Forever has a bunch of great extra features, a mod-native Amy that controls better than the Origins version, and a fan mod that includes Mighty and Ray while touching up all characters to fit Sonic 1's art style.

          Sonic CD has Miracle Edition for full-features and Restored for an absolutely perfect level of accuracy to the original gameplay while allowing widescreen and slight alterations.

          S3AIR is also near-perfect and has a fan mod that adds a far superior Amy than Origins alongside Mighty and Ray.

          Sonic 2 Absolute is arguably worse than the Origins version, as it's missing new bugfixes, doesn't have Amy, and the mods are pretty middling.

        Sonic 2 was getting a full recreation with hand-drawn visuals.

      We really going to pretend that Labyrinth Zone: The Game is an A tier platformer? Didn’t realize standards were this in the gutter for Sonic fans.

      thats weird, when you said "its mid until labyrinth zone" you misspelled it as "It's great until labyrinth zone". hope you can go on to achieve fluency someday

      Labyrinth Zone isn't as good as Tidal Tempest, Aquatic Ruin or Hydrocity because they all build on it. It's better than most underwater levels, and pretty much every other 2D Sonic underwater level (Advance 1 beats it by being Tidal Tempest X Ice Cap).

    nothing, it's an above-average platformer made into a runaway success by marketers
    all of the sequels were much better

      I feel like Sonic 2 is the weakest of the bunch. There's a lot of cool stunts you can do, but the levels don't even try to resist you until Mystic Cave.
