#special shoutout to superstars bonus stages though

[zekeram]

Sonic special stages:

1: So godawful(affectionate), I'm kinda good at them because of the S1F emerald gauntlet and it's a nice skill to have because for some reason they love this garbage

2: Gee I bet this'd be so much more playable with draw distance (spongebob ice cream truck) AND WITHOUT TOUCH CONTROLS

CD (haven't finished): I feel like I should like these more honestly

3&K: Ah, blue spheres. It's like League of Legends. It's this weird cocktail of stockholm syndrome where it's stressful as all hell to go through but at the same time like... I appreciate it? It's solid?

3D Blast (genesis) (haven't finished): eh

3D Blast (saturn): never played

Anything on the master system or game gear: never played

Chaotix: never played

Heroes: never played

Anything in Advance: never played

Rush (never finished): oh wait maybe touch controls aren't so bad, sonic can just teleport to the other side of the half-pipe. never finished them though so maybe it's nostalgia blindness

Rush Adventure: never played and don't even know if it has them

Sonic 4 episode 1: imagine blue spheres but neutered and without soul, making it somehow less enjoyable than the hellscape of the original

Sonic 4 episode 2: actually pretty fun for a 2 clone? Pack a friend

Mania: Ooo that's some good stuff. Who'da thunk making a 3D special stage actually in 3D would work so well

Superstars: Easy but fun, splitting swings across your group is the perfect flavor of chaos for the spiritual successor to New Soup Wii multiplayer

SRB2: they literally made it NiGHTS gameplay. how has this never been done before. this is literally perfection and may one day end up being a gateway drug into the NiGHTS franchise

SRB2 (MP): the 7th one is genuine bullshit but they're mindless besides that

any others I have not played
