Perhaps, it has more cartoony look and the graphics were brighter that made the world of Mobius beautiful. The scenery also had that cartoony. That may be the case.

Sonic 2 is the best in my opinion. It was still one of the pure sonic games before everything started to change rapidly.

I liked how they introduced Tails. Having a buddy follow you around is quite fun. :)

Just a note Sonic's world has never actually be refered to as "Mobius" in the games. That's only in the cartoon shows and comics.

when you need the spin dash...and dont have it, you sing a whole different tune.

super sonic and the spin dash made the game. plus it had the best dbug code ever created. hours of fun in itself.

It's one of my favorites because thats the first game I remeber playing with my older brother and to this day video games are the one thing we have in common besides our great taste in movies. :D

Sonic 3 & Knuckles was one game made out of two games, Sonic 2 with Knuckles was a totally different game.

I've always prefered Sonic 3. Sonic 2 is popular because of nostalgia. It was bundled with the genesis for a long time, so it's the first game played a large percentage of people. Also, it introduced the much needed spin dash.

If Sonic & Knuckles never existed, there wouldn't be a Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

That's like saying people like Silver and Gold because they never played Crystal.

You said Sonic & Knuckles was an expansion of Sonic 3, but it was more of a sequel that could combine for a new game.

Yes, but the new game wasn't new. It just combined the levels. It was more like a collection.

Anyway, most people started with Sonic 2 which is why they might say it is the best, even though each game has their advantages and disadvantages.

I find it worked for green hill zone but for all the other zones in Sonic 1 it didn't
