No, you are absolutely right. Sonic 1 is terrible.

Green Hill Zone was never good

>Nintendo babies that can't handle Sonic 1 have filled the thread in spite of Sonic cucking Mario in his prime years
It's been decades, guys. Just stop.

Marble Zone SUCKS and it's really difficult to get 50 rings and complete all the special stages without concerted effort (or save states) BUT s1 holds it's own in the anals of herstory

>>388315724
Its okay to like a series without being a sad faggot who laps everything up.

Sonic 1 isn't really worth anyone's time anymore dude.

Marble Zone is the game's biggest issue and is a real pace breaker for a second zone. After that, it's not so bad. I enjoy Labyrinth much more than Marble.

>>388314414
The only reason you think this is because you're going into it with the same mentality as other Sonic games. Back when it was released there was really nothing like it in terms of platformers, and you can tell it was designed with more traditional platformer elements in mind. It wasn't as good as Mario but what was at the time. Still a solid game if you played it with no context back in 1991.

>>388316107
>"2 coins (WAHOO!) have been deposited into your Princess Peach cuckold account."

>>388316249
No, not really. There's a stark contrast between Green Hill and the rest of the game. Green Hill is all about exploration and momentum. Then the very next zone, Marble Zone, is mostly linear with little speed sections and very tight platforming (which doesn't work with Sonic's floaty controls). There are some exceptions in the rest of the game, like Spring Yard, but most of the zones keep Marble's design philosophy instead of Green Hill's.

>>388314414

I agree. I do not understand the love. Green Hill Zone is fun but the other zones are so fucking boring and slow.

It's still one of the best platformers on the system.

You're all fucking stupid niggers and the point of these games fly right over your pea sized brains. You subhumans think the le gotta go fast memes are true and it actually translates to actual games don't you? Fucking retards.

>>388316546
You're literally just proving my point that it was designed more as a traditional platformer than later Sonic games.

>>388314414
Naw I agree. Good thing CD, 2, 3K, and Mania all got it right.
>>388316747
1 just has boring level design. Nothing to even do with the speed of the game. CD is by no means fast outside of SS, but at least it's interesting to navigate.

Marble is a slow mess
Spring Yard is pretty alright
Labyrinth is a slightly better Marble
Star Light feels substance-less
Scrap Brain is a nice challenge (but you gotta make sure to use the shortcut in "Act 3" if you don't want to feel like killing yourself)

green hill zone is genuinely good
marble zone is alright but slow as fuck
spring yard zone is genuinely good
labrynth zone is an annoying as fuck water level
starlight zone is cool but uninspired
scrap brain zone is filled with bullshit

its not great but its not that bad either, i'd give it a low C grade desu

Flash fact, Sonic 2 has just as many shit stages as Sonic 1.

>>388317367
Yeah. It's like Sonic 1 if they didn't make the game boring as fuck.

>>388318072

Sonic 3 has just as many shit stages as Sonic 2.

>>388318162

>>388318574
It's almost like they're all the same quality and picking on Sonic 1 just happens because it dominated Nintendo decades ago.

>>388318679
It's almost like they're all shit and Mania is the first good classic Sonic game.

I was playing the saturn port yesterday. You are completely right op.

God, the emulator generation fucking sucks.

>>388318072
Sonic 2 is a tire fire after Mystic Cave

You really have to be in a certain mood to put up with the game, the mobile port is better but holy hell the original game is just not very fun at all and I would only imagine someone playing it for novelties sake these days
>>388316707
Sorry but no

Hmm really makes you think

>>388316235
this. everything before and after marble is at the very least good

>>388319171
>the mobile port is better
Certainly. Saving your progress, widescreen and spindash make the game a lot more tolerable. Still, the touch controls and the game's bad design still make it almost unplayable.

>>388319171
>Sorry but no
Of course it is.

>>388320102
Lol, the game is honestly ok but it took until 3K to even be comparable to SMW and that came out in 1990

>>388318994
You mean an oil fire.

Get it?

The middle of the game completely collapses in on itself before it briefly gets its shit back together for Starlight Zone. Then Scrap Brain is honestly pretty okay as final zones go and even has a couple places where you can go fast.

Labyrinth Act 4 is a total slap in the face, though, and the final boss is super underwhelming.

The only zone that is boring and slow is Marble.

Labyrinth is just slow, same for Scrap Brain.

>>388316235
>All the underground parts of the Marble are bullshit due to how linear things are and how much of it is based around waiting.

There's the shorcut in act 3 but that's the only opportunity yuo have to avoid wasting time.

People can't fucking accept that the game was designed around physics and not speed.

>Green Hill Zone
Great first level and intro to the series as a whole. It sets the tone of the game. Overdone, but not bad. 9/10
>Marble Zone
Shows you that the game isn't just about speed, platforming take presenece here. Good music, solid zone. 7/10
>Springyard Zone
The only casino esque zone that's not in your face with gimmicks. Lots of enemies and spike, but not really challenging or notable. 6/10
>Labyrinth Zone
First water level, fun and easy if you learn to keep a study head, drowing isn't really a problem. No water level in Sonic is difficult, learn to get decent at water levels. However, the boss is very hard. Hardest in the game by far. 7/10
>Starlight Zone
Breather level with comfy music and nice visuals. But not much else to it. It's unique because no zone really pays homage to it but lacks anything to really make it notable. 6/10
>Scrapbrain Zone
The point where the game puts you to the test. Hard, but fair. No punches in the gut and less crushing/falling traps than later games, and when there is it telegraphs them so you really can't complain. Better than it's S2 and CD equivilents, though CD's shrinking rays are rad. Despite this, has the easiest final boss in the classic series. 8/10
>Special Stages
Fun, trippy and lightly challenging. Love em, persinally. 9/10

Sonic 1, though lacking the spin dash, was always a great intoduction to Sonic. I think the reason people don't give it credit is that Sonic 2 and CD are largely better retreads of it, with a lot of similar stage themes. S3&K really did well to set itself apart and feel different. Mania is fucking kino, but didn't achieve that due to stages being nearly all retreads.

>>388314414
The only shit zone is fucking Labryinth though.

>>388316352
>This guy genuinely thought this awful post was funny

I liked Sonic up until Labrynth Zone, which is where I started to hate the game.

Worse, Scrap Brain Zone was a awesome level that was ruined by basically giving Labrynth Zone another act for some goddamn reason.

Needless to say, I liked Sonic 2 a lot better in the 90s then Sonic 1.

>>388329967
Scrap Brain Labyrinth is much easier than actual Labyrinth tho. And what's with this mean, anyhow? Labyrinth is easy if you have the sense to stop and wait for bubbles. Only infuriating part is the boss, which deserves the hate.

>>388314414
can't
Sonic 2 improved, and Sonic 3 improved further.

Does anyone else hate Star Light Zone? Those layered beams hurt my eyes.

>replay Sonic on my Genesis 3
>breeze through the game

>get to Robuttnick
>get fucked trying to keep up and not get bounced by traps
>only a couple times ever was I lucky enough to get a good juke in and 8-hit combo him as soon as the fight starts

That single act makes me not want to bother replaying the game.

It's 2, CD and 3+K that are good

But I remember Spring Yard and Starlight Zone being more fun.

>>388334250
The thing is that Marble doesn't offer speed, even if you're good, you have to push those goddamn block and wait for them to reach the other side. Also all other traps involve waiting with no way around them.

I cut Labyrinth some slack for not offering speed since it offers alternative roads and doesn't force nearly as much waiting.

>>388333335

Sonic 3K>Mania>Sonic 2 >Sonic 1>Sonic CD

Honestly never saw what everyone sees in CD. Got that Sonic collection that had it and was immediately disappointed with the first fucking stage and onward. Graphics looked weird, music was bad, every level looked exactly the same and the gameplay was the most generic out of all the sonic games. Why do people like CD at all!? I'm legitimately asking.

>>388336530
because they have shit taste

>>388336530
Sonic 2 > Mania > Sonic 3K > Sonic CD > Sonic 1

Never saw what makes people think 3K is all that fantastic. It's a great game but the huge levels get confusing at times and just feel like clusterfucks.

What the FUCK were they thinking with this funeral carnival music shit

>>388315913
Fuck off, you can get the special stages easily within the first three zones unless you get hit. You will usually end up with 50+ rings by the end of act 1/2 to net the special stage and can do it without needing to use save states.

Sonic 1 did special stage triggers the best. You don't have to break the pace to explore around to get the best ending in the game, you just need to stay the course and not get hit and you will naturally gather the resources you need to trigger the stage and since the stage is always at the end of the level you can just easily jump into it.

>>388327679
>and doesn't put sonics mechanics to proper use at all
What is the proper use of momentum based platforming? You can skip some areas with just speed and platforming without getting hit and not needing to wait for blocks to go across the lava.

Thing is, I'm supposed to dislike Sonic 1 because it's too platformy. But I like platformers. If I were to say these segments are shit then doesn't that make every other platformer with similar lava/flooding level shit?

Second zone is ok.
Starlight is good.
Final zone is serviceable.

The rest sucks
