    What kept sonic together over the years ain't the games, but his fandom, and the fact that we have that one sonic game we enjoy that makes us come back to it.

    Being someone who played Sonic Colours DS when it first came out, sinking a bunch of time into it, getting to the final boss only to not mash quick enough for the final part of the fight, deleting my save file because of it, and playing it through again with even more enjoyment: It's a very unheard game and definitely deserves to be this highly ranked

      I still have my current copy of Sonic Colours DS to this day and I love the game, way more than Sonic Colours Ultimate for the switch. I got it early into the game's life and then lost my first cartridge on a vacation, had never gotten past Starlight Carnival Act 1 on that cartridge, and I was DEVASTATED, as that was my all time favourite DS game. A few years later on Christmas, my mum had known how sad I had been about losing the game and managed to get ahold of a second hand cartridge of the game and I will be honest, that christmas I knew what my favourite present was and as soon as I got my ds that day, I worked out how to wipe the old save off of the cartridge and started a new game. It's the cartridge I finally beat the game, collected the chaos emeralds on, beat Mother Wisp and am trying to fully 100% the game still whenever I can play it
      Ultimate just can't compare to the nostalgia I feel when playing Sonic Colours DS

      Ranking them lower than games that fundamentally don't work as intended honestly comes across as petty. They're not fast or overflowing with novelty but they're still well controlling and have quite a lot of replay value for the time through the in stage Emerald hiding places.

    I absolutely loved Triple Trouble as a kid. I already loved Sonic as a kid from the cartoons so when I got my game gear with Sonic 2 I was so excited. The box hyped up the presence of my favorite character Tails, only for him to not be playable. Also, the game is ludicrously hard, even after revisiting it when I was older, and that bad ending crushed me. Without a Genesis to play the main series until way later with just standalone Sonic and Knuckles (no Tails), getting Triple Trouble which was much more forgiving, finally let me play as Tails, and had special stages for replay value, I adored that game and played through it so many times trying to get all of the emeralds. While a lot of this is nostalgia, I'll take it over Sonic 2 8-bit any day.

      Even as someone who was old enough to be critical and in my mid-teens I loved Sonic Advance 3. And I still think it's the best 2D Sonic game after the classics and Mania. The music is superb, the stage design is excellent and almost every stage is fun to go through for just about all of the character combinations (I think there's like 21 in total). Every world has an overworld, 3 stages and a boss... and the overworld & stages all have different versions of the same song. Honestly, the game's fantastic.
      On top of Advance 3 usually being underrated, I'd also say Heroes gets a lot of undeserved flack. Meanwhile, Generations is way overrated. The modern Sonic stages are mostly fine, but even then not nearly as fine as the good 3D games like both Adventure games and Heroes. But the classic stages are just complete garbage. Just meh level design and awful physics & controls.
      Also pretty dumb Frontiers ranks so high in this list. It's playable and at times enjoyable. But overal the game just has so many flaws I can't even call it a good game overal. I bought it for full price because I still wanted to support a new 3D Sonic game, but it just simply isn't that good. The boss battles are completely terrible and that's saying something since most bosses in 3D Sonic games are bad. The combat can look cool, but it's just very meh overal. And the controls are just all kinds of bad. They work okay for the open world section, even if kinda meh. But the actual levels are not only just rather poorly designed for most part... even the parts they took from other games are garbage in this game because of the awful controls. And there's almost no stage variety. Music's not very memorable either, etc.

Also, I'm not certain if this is exactly true but you can fight the Wisps' mother if you collect all the red rings throughout the stages. Either way, Sonic Colors (DS) was a blast to play for my first Sonic game ever played.

    1:27:09 "shadow, eggman, rouge"
    I just remember now. Two of the hottest characters in gaming.
    Yes, rouge is also there.
    Also frontiers is like The Super Mario Odyssey of the Sonic series

    I'm glad that Sonic colors on Ds is considered like a great sonic game! It's the only one I finished and I loved it so much!

    Fun Fact: I never knew Sonic and the Secret Rings had an actual story more until a few years ago. Me and my siblings always played the minigames, and we had a (3-D) blast!

      Me and my siblings knew about story mode... but we always went straight to party mode! The 'treasure hunt' 'board' is a bit weird, but there's something about the party mode I always liked! My only complaint is the controls could be wonky at times... the butterfly bubble one took plenty of practice, and don't even get me STARTED on the one where you use a net to catch those little bug things in a net (whatever they were, been a while since I played).

    Down to the second, this video is the same exact length as the sonic movie

    While I grew up with Mario and think the series overall has a higher and especially more consistent quality, it's the Sonic games that I can't stop watching videos about. There's something so fascinating about both the highs and lows of the franchise. Sonic 3 and Knuckles is probably still on top of my list, with Ice Cap being my favorite classic zone ever. And as flawed as the Adventure games are, they are fun, endearing and genuinely made me care about the characters, especially Adventure 2. My unpopular favorite is Lost World, I just had a great time with that game. But then again, I'm one of the ten people that still loves and cherishes the Wii U.

      Someone had to do it. Plus they dubbed the cutscenes in other languages in colors ultimate.

    Why is Sonic 1 8-bit being disrespected so much here
    Edit: Now Sonic Chaos??? I genuinely thought the opinion of the 8-bit games were that they were decent
    Edit 2: And he put Sonic Blast, the only one that's actually bad, above those two....whaaaaa

      I mean, he doesn't even get the names of the characters or zones right. I'm going to bet he spent five seconds on the Master System titles and probably doesn't even remember which is which.
