30 Days of Sonic 2023
Day 6: Triple Trouble 16-bit
But ShinGen this isn't an official Sonic ga- shut up. This is the best Sonic game and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.
In my original review, I had addressed that there were two main issues I had with the game: the technical jank and the elevator setpiece of Atomic Destroyer Act 2. My other mutuals who played the game, meanwhile, criticised the length of the extended snowboarding setpiece in Robotnik Winter Act 2, citing it as 'mid-level cutscene' that breaks the pace of repeat playthroughs.
Well, the ring permeability issues didn't really get patched, but it seems Noah N. Copeland has listened to our prayers, because with the final update to the game, the snowboarding setpiece is now skippable via an option in the menu, and the elevator setpiece has been given its own checkpoints to reduce player frustration!
And with that, I can officially crown TT16 as, at the very least, the BEST 2D Sonic game. And yes, that includes 3K, albeit it is closer than you imagine.
Thank you once more, Noah N. Copeland, for your contributions to the Sonic community.
Final rating: 10/10
