@Holden The Gamer Sonic 3 is too short with one bad level and if you play it with Sonic & Knuckles the experience kinda gets dragged down Now, Sonic Mania on the other hand... It has extreme consistency to the point of no bad levels A soundtrack full of bangers INSANE replay value to the point i might have beaten it 10 times now Amazingly constructed levels so every level feels unique even without gimmicks (with said gimmicks also being really good) The only real flaw is that the bosses aren't that good and i kinda want more new levels since the new ones are so good, but i think the last one is a testment to the game's quality instead of a real flaw Look, i love S3&K but when it comes to Sonic games, Sonic Mania is the king
I would have included sonic 3 and knuckles as one game. To me that’s the best . I love the stage transitions and how all the gameplay builds off the other elements. One of my least favorite things about the special stages in mania is they stop the flow of gameplay to unlock stuff that is fun sure but doesn’t add to anything once you get back into the level. In sonic 3 and knuckles you get shields, rings and lives.
Sonic advance 3 and rush are the best 2D sonic games to me. Love how the tricks keep the flow going and the team combination is really cool. Surpised it hasn't revisited. I love rush because tricks and the sheer quickness of memorising the stage plus the OST for both are heavenly.
I swear there's gonna be some people (kinda including me) that are a bit mad about how Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 weren't included as 1 place in the list, as Sonic 3 and knuckles would probably be #2 on the list.
nah, #1 Mania would be 2. Mania is a lot of fun but do to the rehash of all the stages It falls just short for me. 3 & K is where its at. now if you add S3 & K A.I.R then there is no contest. now If there is a Mania 2 with all new zones and allow a Max control from the start after you unlock moves then that could take down S3 & K. But thats asking a lot tbh
Because they’re two completely different games released months apart from each other. Yes they are one game with the lock in cartridge and were supposed to be one game when developed but they were released as two separate games and that’s what they are
If he included them as one game then logically the average wouldn't be that high. Considering he liked one a lot more than the other, the average would put it in between where he put them both. Logically anyway, he could have put it where he wanted regardless. Also what Steve says.
@@stevesteve0521 if these games were released today, "& Knuckles" would be a DLC. So for me they're just 1 game too xD and like James Cox said above, S3K AIR is the best way to play it. 1- S3k AIR 2- Sonic Mania 3- Sonic 2
The lack of love for Sonic Rush Adventure here is criminal. Building up the main island was so fun and rewarding. 3/4 of the vehicles were very fun to use. The exploration was great. The dialogue could skipped and you would still be directed where to go. Honestly amazing
Sonic Rush Adventure is honestly my favourite Sonic game, period. It's so underrated. Even though I find the vehicles pretty fun as-is, I get why people don't like them. But the non-linear progression they allow through some parts of the game and the hidden islands to explore for definitely redeem it for me. The missions are also a super great addition considering how short 2D Sonic games typically are. Especially as somebody who always loves the sound test, unlocking the music through speedrun missions and the like was very rewarding and cool. And the level design is among the best in all 2D Sonic games. For me it's consistently the game I have the most fun going back to.
and the level design is just so much better than the first game, bosses too. even if you dont like the exploration or vehicles, i dont see why it gets dogged so much compared to the first game when the main gameplay is a thousand times more enjoyable, and doesnt rely on constant instakill stage hazards that you cant see coming unless youve memorized the stage and will kill you even if youre being careful also the ost is criminally underrated, its wonderful and gets unfairly looked over just because its not hideki naganuma
@banjonkashootiefortheps4403as much as I agree it isn’t exactly filler more like padding in the end of the journey, with the exception of one or 2 bosses. All the boss fights are great. The levels are a lot better due to the improved trick system, kinda did wish they made the game more open ended by removing the leveling system. (Grabbing chaos emeralds, starting a new game on a late game zone instead of plant kingdom & maybe playing as blaze on the start.)

@@---oq5kb placing a game lower because it's advertisments? No, just no. We are looking for how good the games are not how good or less clickbaity the advertisements were and that's where Sonic 4 shines more
I think if you count Sonic 3 and Knuckles as one game, it's the best entry the series has to offer. The levels are well connected to each other which helps give off more of an adventure-type feel. The boss battles are the most creative and fun in the whole series to me, especially the Doomsday Zone which would lay the groundwork for how Super Sonic boss battles would be made for the series moving forward. The story is simple yet fun to follow, and the way how it was told without using dialogue was brilliant. And not to mention, I feel like Sonic 3&K is the only game where getting all 7 chaos emeralds actually feels worth it. Not only do you have the novelty of playing as Super Sonic, but you also unlock the true ending of the game. In terms of core gameplay, Sonic 2 is without a doubt the best Sonic game ever made with its short, sleek level design and fast-paced gameplay. But in terms of everything else, Sonic 3&K provides the most fulfilling experience imo. (Obviously this is excluding Sonic Mania, which is kinda unfair to compare with the rest of the "Classic" Sonic games considering that it was made decades after the original 2D games.)
Yeah was gonna comment to say that Sonic 3 & Knuckles really should have been rated as one game since that’s what was clearly intended and IMO the true version of the game artistically and design-wise. Agree that Sonic 3 is better than Sonic and knuckles if they’re counted separately but combined id put it in the number one or two spot.
Hold up. How can you say Sonic 3 has less level when you can just literally combine it with Sonic & Knuckles that literally give you the full game in itself because Sonic 3 and S&K cartridges work together. Hence why Sonic 3 and Knuckles exist especially in the Mega Collection.
But even if you count them as one game IMO sonic 2 should still be higher on the list cause while I love most of the levels in sonic 3 I didn’t really like S&K as much when I grew up playing it on the Mega collection. 🤷🏻♂️
Sonic 3 and knuckles is objectively better than 2, character selection, different levels for Knuckles, more polished physics and design, I really dont see how 2 is better.
@@Ariesguy41499 I think Sonic 2 had a lot of level design issues, especially late in the game, so I prefer S3&K, but if I couldn’t combine them I would say Sonic 2 is my favourite.
The 8-bit version of Sonic 1 (especially the Master System version), while not really one of my favourite Sonic games (up to the ranks of Sonic Advance 1 & 3, Sonic Mega Collection, Sonic Mania (original and Plus), Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 for the Dreamcast, the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing duology, Sonic Unleashed HD, the Sega Superstars duology and Sonic 1 for the Sega Genesis and especially mobile devices), is an underrated blast from the past!
@@UltraSTH They are pretty easy when you know what to do but the worst part is how to get there, you have to find a key in levels and you cannot take *ANY* damage or the key will be lost, and thats all for one try on the awful special stages.
the fact that michael jackson himself made music for Sonic 3, just makes the game even better… not just good gameplay but influential artists music too!
I am super SUPER happy you involved Sonic Colours DS on the list and at a high spot too! It is the first game I ever completed and it is full of nostalgia with the colours and graphics. Thank you my dude. 👍
The entire OST is a banger, in fact this game is IMO better than the Mega Drive version, didn't deserved do be ranked so lowly. Same with the majority of the other Master System/Game Gear titles.

Great video! I also noticed how close Bandy is to 1M subscribers! Keep up the great work! I remember when you posted the weird top 10s back in like 2013, and now we have masterpieces like Triggered/Mind Blowing, and the ranked series! Thanks for posting entertaining content, it was a fun ride. Congrats in (Gameboy) advance!
I’d really like to see the sonic advance games remade, because a lot of problems with the games could be fixed like the screen size, and the big amount of death traps
I agree with how Sonic 2 and 3 can change places based on how much fun you had with them. I think Sonic 3 would get the second place over Sonic 2 for me, over something Sonic 2 didn't have and becomes a problem later on. Alternate music for different acts. Because the acts in Sonic 2 are way longer than in Sonic 1, to hear the same music on act 2 gets a bit of a repetitive feeling. This gets worse on Metropolis Zone that have three whole acts. I'm sorry but... no. And I'm not complaining about the amount of acts or their length because even fangames did the same and did it right, like Sonic After the Sequel. Each act was unique, had an interesting gimmick or aesthetic about it. And the music was also different for each act. It's why, at least for me, Sonic 3 was more enjoyable for me. The music made each act feel refreshing, not to mention that I prefer the songs from Sonic 3 over Sonic 2 and 1.
I completely disagree with the low positions of the 8-bit games, like Sonic 1 being below the mediocre Sonic Blast :(. Even with Green Hill, Labyrinth and Scrap Brain appearing here, they are totally different of the Mega Drive version. But ok, the rest of the list is pretty accurate.
I personally only really differ with a couple of decisions to do with the order of the advance series (personal preference) but I totally agree with your number 1 pick, and also desperately want a sequel with all original content
I personally don't rate Mania as highly as the originals because I feel that they reuse way too much from the older games. Even in the newer zones, there are many concepts that are used like the bumpers from the metropolis and the electric orbs. It is a fantastic game, but the lack of originality kinda kills it for in. In Generations, 2D stages were made in 3D and 3D stages were made in 3D which helped with that issue in my opinion.
That was probably the point. Sonic mania is more of a homage to og sonic fans, I’m sure of the mania team made a new game there’d be a lot more originality in it
bandy: does nothing but praise sonic pocket adventure bandy: does nothing but criticize sonic boom also bandy: ranks sonic pocket adventure below sonic boom

Ranking Sonic Blast above literally anything feels like a condemnation of the largest magnitude and I dunno how I feel about that.
Nathaniel: There’s even an autoscroller in a Sonic game.
Sky Chase Zone: *Am I a joke to you?*
But Genesis Sonic 2 came few years later that MS Sonic 1
Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1: *Am I also a joke to you?*
Sonic Forces:OK
Yes
Great video! I also noticed how close Bandy is to 1M subscribers! Keep up the great work! I remember when you posted the weird top 10s back in like 2013, and now we have masterpieces like Triggered/Mind Blowing, and the ranked series! Thanks for posting entertaining content, it was a fun ride. Congrats in (Gameboy) advance!
Welp, this comment is out dated
@@Mr.BucketHatMan Wow, a 3 year old comment is outdated? That's so unusual!
I have sonic mania for my PS4 And I love it so much, my favorite game ever
“There’s even an auto scroller.. AN AUTO SCROLLER IN A SONIC GAME”
Sonic forces: 🫣
I'm so glad that you added The Rush Trilogy into this top. Great video!!
Nathaniel is one of the people I can trust on what game I can buy.
Foekoe too
Pingu was my childhood
he put blast above the 8 bit games lol
This is the first ranking list that I can relate to
This is the first ranking list that i can't relate to lol.
As a Hardcore Sonic Fan I am proud!Even though I haven’t played some of these. You are the man Nathaniel!
14:20 theres a knuckles and knuckles mode *me ima go play this mode
I’d really like to see the sonic advance games remade, because a lot of problems with the games could be fixed like the screen size, and the big amount of death traps
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles is the best 2D Sonic game. I think they should be counted together because it’s how they were made.
I think mania is better
Oh boy this is gonna be exciting
I agree with how Sonic 2 and 3 can change places based on how much fun you had with them. I think Sonic 3 would get the second place over Sonic 2 for me, over something Sonic 2 didn't have and becomes a problem later on. Alternate music for different acts.
Because the acts in Sonic 2 are way longer than in Sonic 1, to hear the same music on act 2 gets a bit of a repetitive feeling. This gets worse on Metropolis Zone that have three whole acts. I'm sorry but... no. And I'm not complaining about the amount of acts or their length because even fangames did the same and did it right, like Sonic After the Sequel. Each act was unique, had an interesting gimmick or aesthetic about it. And the music was also different for each act. It's why, at least for me, Sonic 3 was more enjoyable for me. The music made each act feel refreshing, not to mention that I prefer the songs from Sonic 3 over Sonic 2 and 1.
Bathaniel Nandy: Striving for generic-ness
5:51 “Everyone loves Greenhill Zone”
Radicalsoda: Hold my bird character
Oh yeah then we get to the 3D games and you got:

sonic colors ultimate
Yep colours is bad

@@raidoukuzonoha883 Hey!
Ranking Nathaniel Bandy Triggered videos (I guess)
I would love to see a video about Ranking every Mario RPG
You saying “Triple Trouble” and “Chaos” me thinking: Sonic.exe fnf mod
You forgot sonic rivals 1 and 2. The ranking was enjoyable to watch anyway. I would like to see you rank the 3d platformers or the spinoffs one day!
Knuckles: creates a nuclear bomb and destroys the army and Iraq
Nathaniel: thanks a lot, you knucklehead!
Awesome ranking, will you ever rank the 3d sonic games?
Eventually yeah
Great Video Dude! Sonic Mania Is a Great Game!
@The Duck True Sonic 2 Is Also a classic!
The Duck and colors Wii
I will say this it is nice to hear you talk positively on Sonic Colors DS which is one of my favorite Sonic games. (Top 3)
I consider Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles to be the same game, Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I think that they together are as good as Mania
For me Sonic 3 and Knuckles is better than Mania but Mania Plus in my opinion is better than 3 and Knuckles
I completely disagree with the low positions of the 8-bit games, like Sonic 1 being below the mediocre Sonic Blast :(.
Even with Green Hill, Labyrinth and Scrap Brain appearing here, they are totally different of the Mega Drive version.
But ok, the rest of the list is pretty accurate.
Sonic 2 is # 2. It's where I got my start. I can die a happy man now. I'm in love. 😍😍😍😜😜😜
😐
Epic rankings, Bandy
I personally only really differ with a couple of decisions to do with the order of the advance series (personal preference) but I totally agree with your number 1 pick, and also desperately want a sequel with all original content
7:18 dont forget that the only level you can play as super sonic is the final boss
Nathaniel finally doing another sonic video lol
5:07 Does anyone not notice Nathanial saying Sonic and Boom, not Sonic Boom? Well, I did.
@MultiMegaman64 The Subtitles Say The Same
When he said "the first game I ever completed" i had a serious childhood revelation
I’m impressed with the amount of Sonic games on 8 bit hardware
Same.

14:27 that unintentional transition tho
I personally don't rate Mania as highly as the originals because I feel that they reuse way too much from the older games. Even in the newer zones, there are many concepts that are used like the bumpers from the metropolis and the electric orbs. It is a fantastic game, but the lack of originality kinda kills it for in. In Generations, 2D stages were made in 3D and 3D stages were made in 3D which helped with that issue in my opinion.
That was probably the point. Sonic mania is more of a homage to og sonic fans, I’m sure of the mania team made a new game there’d be a lot more originality in it
If you bought mania thinking it was going to be a completely new experience with no reused concepts or mechanics, that's your fault.
Mania has too many Sonic 3 references ngl
Thank you! Someone gets it.
Its so overrated but these new fans smh
“Sonic 3 Has a lack of levels.”
Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic 3 Angel Island Revisited: Allow us to introduce ourselves!
**Hears Game gear** **Immediately thinks of Nepgear from Neptunia**
bandy: does nothing but praise sonic pocket adventure
bandy: does nothing but criticize sonic boom
also bandy: ranks sonic pocket adventure below sonic boom
"perfectly encapsulates" 1 sec later, shows capsule
14:08
I only just began playing 2D sonic so great timing 😂
If only there were more levels in Sonic 3, and if Sonic & Knuckles had levels like those in 3.
If only there was a way...................
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Time to get sonic and knuckles and lock on to sonic 3
Back in the day, my older brother was afraid of the act 2 boss in Sandopolis.
I called it the "Sandopolis Act 2 Monster". It still freaks him out today, for some reason.
My favorite is Sonic Rush. Nothing like that bopping music while blasting through levels at high speeds.
I was praying you'd put Sonic Colors high up and you did not disappoint!
Hopefully you guys are having a great day:)
I was just rewatching the how the lost levels triggers you video lol
Where’s Knuckles Chaotix, its Sonic IP, its a 2d platformers and its good
"and it's good"
@Wanna Be a Smurt Person Trying the game play isn’t terrible, its unique
Great list, even though I haven't played half the games on it Though personally, I'd put Episode 2 slightly higher.
Some weird choices on here but still an entertaining vid. I like your channel, dude!
