Sonic Marathon List

played on Retroarch
Yet another game done on my Sonic marathon, and wasn't a bad one in the end all things considered! Sure wasn't like the very best, but I didn't dislike my time with it. It was ok, just needed a bit more to really hit.
A nice little simple plot to get the game started, was nice that Eggman and Sonic weren't in this letting Tails really get to shine, too bad these enemies haven't appeared again since then though considering Tails literally bombed the fuck out of them and straight up dropped a boulder on one's head maybe there's a reason lol. Either way was a nice little set up.
Gameplay was where I was a bit mixed, I like Metroidvania's but this one def did a bit too slow. Tails' default walking speed stays like that the entire game and the only way to speed up is to have a power-up which feels so counter intuitive. In fact, that's honestly my main problem with the game, having to go back and forth to Tails' house just to equip or try out new power-us is annoying more often than not. Plus, a good majority of them aren't really needed outside the bombs. I ended up only using those since having ones like the Speed Boots and Super Glove are a waste of space or ones like the Knuckles' or Large Bomb were just not that good.
Aside from screen crunch that's really all I have complaint wise, game was fine pretty much. The areas are varied, the graphics look nice, and Tails' is very bloodthirsty and possibly has connections to the Unabomber. Nice little romp that didn't overstay it's welcome, but still has room for improvement. Tbh, I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel that work out the kinks and improve on what we have here, there's very much room for potential and I could honestly see a Metroidvania style spinoff for Tails' feelings right at home for the little guy. Too bad Sega never really tried this again :/.
