Studiopolis is amazing too. Why'd all these new levels have to be based on old ones.

I hope they make sonic 5 with a bigger team and all new levels, but this game is only as long as it is because of all the level remixes. they just didn't have the resources to make a ton of completely original zones but hopefully this game's success gets them what they need to make a fully original game

From a pure level design standpoint all the stages are good. But the quality of the aesthetics is what really drives a good Sonic game and it's just like...yep, it sure is Chemical Plant zone again :geno:

Yeah I figured it's a budget thing, where it's more cost effective or whatever to grab art assets from the old games than create all new ones.

I'm probably the furthest thing from a Sonic purist but I love basically everything about this game. I wish time trial mode showed people in your friends list but then I'd just have to look up at EE every single time I guess.

blue spheres were the best special stages until the sonic mania special stages in this gamer's opinion.

wasn't the whole gimmick though that you could replay older games as knuckles through the magic of backwards compatibility

like I think it's all the same ethos

3&k were originally developed as one game, its not just play as knuckles in 3.
