The best part of Sonic 1 for Master System/Game Gear was the music, composed by the legendary Yuzo Koshiro of Streets of Rage fame.

Fun fact knuckles Choatix isn’t actually about knuckles nor was it called Knuckles Chaotix it was just called Chaotix in Japan it just featured Knuckles as a playable character.

Sonic 2 was my first Sonic game in 1993, and it will always have a special place for me but when I played Sonic 3 in 1994 when it came out, I was crazy and amazed. When Sonic and Knuckles came out in October of that same year and I found out that I could play with Knuckles, I knew right away that this was going to be one of my favorite games of all time, and it still is today.

The best 2d sonic ranking list i've seen. It's the one that is closest to what i think, really, good job. I loved the video a lot

I'm an old fart who grew up on the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise since the Genesis. I actually had a Game Gear and a lot of the Sonic games on it were VERY underwhelming. I had the most fun with Sonic Chaos, but I doubt I'd have the same feelings going back to it. There was actually a fan developed remake of Sonic Chaos that was looking REALLY good, but sadly it was never finished.

Good list man, is nice too see some love for the handheld sonic games, they are usually forgotten. Being a Nintendo kid, the first sonic game I owned was Sonic Advance on the GBA, and I would probably rank it higher, mostly for nostalgia reasons Also it’s also the sonic game I actually managed to beat. Those games are hard!!

Also, Hamtaro 😂

Hamtoro, great video. Sonic 2 and 3 played a huge role in my childhood!

Marble Zone isn't actually slow though, for the most part, if you know the levels. Neither is most of Sonic 1 8-bit. But if you don't feel like replaying until you've memorized them (or looking it up), that's fair.

Hamtaro, bro. And even though I don’t agree with some of the games you say are bad, I do like your approach to expressing your opinions. I think it’s a well done video and watching and listening to this gave me good feels about the Sonic series over the years. Again, despite you feeling more negative to some of the games I view with charm. lol

Hamtaro Mania is my favorite but 3&K is right there. Great video!

Really good ranking, especially with the top two as Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic Mania are by far my favourite 2D Sonic Games.

It's nice to see ranking Vids from someone who actually played the games.

I really think you did a good job ranking these games, sonic is the first video game i've played ever, when i got the genesis back in the early 90's as a kid. also i did request this awhile ago, idk if you ranked all the soul calibur games yet.

Hamtaro. I’m with you on your top two. I feel fortunate to have been a kid when the best 2D Sonic games came out. I remember buying Sonic 3 at a Toys R Us the year it came out. I had high hopes for Superstars following Mania but man, what a letdown. They need to just make Mania 2!

Neo Geo pocket colour crew assemble! Love that little handheld. Would totally recommend it to anyone who likes retro gaming.

Great video! BTW I know it has nothing to do with sonic in any degree but really what about the Borderland series ? I can't even recall if you had even mentioned it on your channel!

@TotallyTubularJonathan Take your time, man. It's a great series, though, is what I am saying. It's really one of the classics when it comes to fps, and the characters are on a whole other level.

That was sure an amazing ranking

3:06 "it looks like fucking sh🚪t"

Great to see some respect for Sonic Advance 2.

Can’t argue too much with the rankings, pretty spot on except personally I’d put Sonic cd lower and Sonic 2 higher.

The best half pipe is sonic 3D blast on Saturn. Difficulty is just right, Graphics are great, and the controls are amazing, also no tails to worry about( I know you can play with sonic by himself but still) also hamtaro

hamtaro i feel like i've played 2, 3, and mania so damn much that i've grown tired of them unfortunately

Amazing video I’m a sonic fanatic in this video is just great

Tbh I love genesis sonic and soundtrack track really damn good how they made this soundtrack is good in genesis really amazing

My favourite 2d Sonic game is Sonic cd, just the replay ability on that one is remarkable!

One of my best childhood memories was renting Sonic Advance from Blockbuster and playing it while watching the Sonic OVA. Of course S3&K is my favorite. I want to love Sonic Mania but I am just sucking at it. The Special Stages are a little frustrating but it’s definitely Player error. I’ve also been stuck on this one level and it caused me to drop the game for over a year. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Maybe I need to start over and try not to perfect it in the first go.

I don’t understand how knuckles chaotix NEVER got re released. Apparently sonic gems collection was supposed to have it but didn’t for some reason.

Hamtaro ....I kinda liked 06's plot

Rush adventure is underrated

I like Sonic 3 and knuckles, but Mania will always be my favorite game of all time

This video was Hamtaro as fuck. A great list and I honestly agree with the placings. I would probably put 4 a bit higher, while putting 1 and CD a bit lower, but otherwise solid, and I have the top 3 in the same exact order. I gotta say though. When it comes to Sonic 1... Labyrinth Zone wasn't even that bad. It wasn't great, but I don't hate it nearly as much as everyone else seems to hahaha. What I really hate about that game is Scrap Brain Zone, the final one, which is truly awful. I reached it with 23 lives stockpiled and burned through all of them. Has to be one of the worst zones in Sonic history and I'm not capping in the slightest.

Also you're playing the gamegear version when the best version is the master system.

My favourite 2D Sonic games are Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic Mania and the Sonic Advance trilogy

Im surprised you didnt put superstars in 26

man you forget that sonic 2 ,3 ,k mania

I don't think any GBA game actually has good music. Btw you should try reviewing the bootleg/Rom hack/homebrew sonic games too

Sonic 2 8-Bit is better than every 8 bit game💀

Is 3D here i didnt see video

Nowadays every kid is rating games without knowing s#@&* 😂

My favorite is 3 and knuckles

I’m calling it right now, sonic mania is top three.

Hamtaro. (S3 &Kb🐐)

hamtaro your a W

I just can't get into Sonic Superstars at all. I've tried and I've tried and I just don't like it, to me it's plagued with some of the annoying issues that plagued previous 2D Sonic such as cheap enemy placement boring Special Stages and terrible boss fights amongst other issues.

As soon as I see advance 3 as the worst advance game on someone’s list I just shut off the video Oh look at that TIKE TO GO

sonic 2's levels are built around going fast? that's not true at all. at least 75% of the game is slow platforming. and saying there's no bad levels? wing fortress is atrocious.

i only played 3 of the games bruh

sonic is overhated ppl, c'mon y'all, don't try to act like the kat doesn't have any good games cus he does, he even has some classics 👇. 17. Sonic forces 16. Sonic lost world 15. Sonic 1 14. Sonic heroes 13. Sonic rush 1 & 2 12. Sonic adventures 1 11. Sonic advance trilogy 10. Sonic frontier 9. Sonic unleased 8. Sonic colors 7. Sonic adventures 2 (classic) 6. Sonic generations (classic) 5. Sonic superstars 4. Sonic cd (classic) 3. Sonic 2 (classic) 2. Sonic mania (classic) 1. Sonic 3 & knockles (classic) Solid catalog if u ask me, a very underrated & overhated character and franchise. just cus his bad games ruined his legacy but any series with that many good games and several classics...can't be all that bad.

I love sonic colors ds do u

Talking shit about 8bit Sonic 1, nah this shit ain't it.

Sure this is subjective, but ... Sonic Superstars is utter Crap ... and so is CD, because it was never meant to be a game of itself. CD is cut Content and/or Ideas from other Sonic Games and you can feel it in every aspect: bad level design, bad music, bad graphics, reused sprites and forgetable zones. Only the Sonic Boom Songs rock. Sonic 1 Sonic 2 Sonic Mania END OF LIST. PERIOD.
