Reminder the Classic series is a trilogy. There's only 3 games and a couple side games like CD, Knuckles and Mania that add to the overarching story, but aren't numbered because we don't need to go beyond 3

>that one frame that looks like sonic is questioning his existence
God that title screen for Sonic 4 is embarrassing.
Nobody cares

>>386246539
Fuck you I liked episode 2 a little.
>4 is bad and shouldn't be counted
In other words the sky is fucking blue
Did you expect this to be a controversial post?
Sonic 1 and 2 were necessary stepping stones, experiments and building blocks that had to be put in place so that 3&K, the best Sonic game ever created, could happen. CD on the other hand is a deviation and aberration that's only loved by mouthbreathing idiots who look at the game and somehow don't see shit smeared all over the screen.

This is a false canon.
The true canon is the Sonic cartoon and Sonic Spinball.

Fuck off dobson.

4's is actually closer to the title screens of the original games. Mania's is overanimated. Better, but overanimated.
Sonic 4 is the best Sonic game

Only Sonic 1 holds-up, as the biggest platformer (the strongest console genre of that time period) of the trilogy. The increased speed of Sonic 2 does nothing for this formula, as the 2D camera can't handle it well, and much faster action genres have improved upon this since. In the same way, the added exploration and features of Sonic 3 only feel like bloat to me after playing the classics of other genres where these are much better integrated.
Sonic 1 is also the nicest-looking for me since, again, it actually follows the strengths of that time period (the idealised cartoony avatar) whereas the sequels got progressively edgier and overly-detailed.

>side games like [...] Knuckles
if sonic & knuckles is a side game then sonic 1 is a fucking spin-off
