While Feel the Magic: XY/XX does have a cult following thanks to its wacky aesthetics and being a Nintendo DS launch, it seems The Rub Rabbits doesn’t get as much recognition as the original game. It’s a fantastic prequel, full of that whimsical rabbit charm from Sonic Team and fixes the rough spots that made the original a challenging experience. Now with holding the Nintendo DS sideways and upside down, your relationship with the handheld has never felt so close to comfort.

I adore both games in this series, and I wish they would have continued them on the Nintendo 3DS or mobile devices. SEGA tends to reference the series every single year, from songs appearing in music compilations, Rhythm Thief, merchandise and their own live concert. Rub truly is love ❤️
