Hello sonic thread, I loved adventure 1 and 2 on the dreamcast, but I had not played a sonic game since then. I just finished playing all the GameCube games, so here are my thoughts:

Sonic Adventure 1 still holds up, 2 does not, Shadow the Hedgehog is better than I thought it would be and Heroes is much, much worse, although it does have the best crush 40 song.

And this is the worst post in this thread:

I'm just gonna say it. The "SEGAAA" choir sucks. It's loud and obnoxious. First thing I do after booting up those Sonic games is turn down the volume. Not worth the cartridge space in any of the Genesis titles. The wow factor only existed for people who knew enough about video games to recognize a voice clip is uncommon. The two-note Master System one is less intrusive. Just give me the modern *woosh*"sega." or even the strange eyeball with an off-key note.

In the stage Red Mountain in Sonic Adventure, sonic jumps down the mouth of a volcano and the stage changes to a fiery pit lined with prison cells full of ghosts, and the music changes to a new song filled with screams

Did sonic briefly go to hell? Discuss

So like, I dunno. Don't press yourself to get the true ending by playing all the stories since they're basically difficulty levels of the same stages plus the Chaotix, and you can always just listen to the vocal traxx if you're not enjoying the game

You're really going to recommend somebody play sonic heroes and not even get the catharsis of fighting the final boss with the best music in the series?

At the end of sonic adventure 2 they imply that sonic has some sort of connection to project shadow and that's why he can go super and use chaos control and then they never followed up on it and I'm still mad about that twenty years later

No evidence, just nerds theorizing in a vacuum. Like how everybody decided that Earthbound could never be released because of the Beatles, until somebody at Nintendo of Japan found out that it was popular in the US and suddenly it was on the virtual console and the snes mini. They had literally only been looking at the original sales figures

The problem with latter-day sonic characters is how busy their designs are. You gotta have two distinguishing features, max, and they should be simple enough for six year olds to draw from memory

NACK was the original name in Japan but they changed his name to Fang at the very last minute because nobody at Sega ever talked to each other and they had no idea that the mega drive division was creating a character named NACKLES at the exact same time

Until generations I thought for sure that was a glitch. Like, it was just some generic placeholder music they had in there while they were waiting for the crush 40 track to be finished and they forgot that the game calls it twice

Two things: first, obviously this is hilarious

Second, this is basically canon. General O.C. Deviantart spent fifty years telling anybody who would listen that Shadow was responsible for the ARK massacre, so Robotnik could easily have grown up believing his older sister/cousin Maria was killed by a lightning fast hedgehog
