A good game and a nice start to the series. It's a bit all over the place in terms of level design but is still mostly solid with great mechanics and presentation that still hold up very well.

A massive improvement over the first, with really good level design. Lots of extra paths and secrets to find wrapped up in some very memorable locales. Classic.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles features some of the best 2D platforming level design I've ever experienced, great level themes with a superb soundtrack, great bosses that are (mostly) challenging but not annoying, and tons of replay value with more branching pathways and hidden goodies than you can shake a stick at. In other words, it's okay.

Has a great sense of style and solid enough level design, but can be very frustrating at times. It's still a good game, but definitely weaker than Sonic the Hedgehog 2 or 3.

It's a very dated and flawed game for sure, but one that has an absolute truckload of charm and strong level design at times. It's not always enjoyable, but when it's good, it's REALLY good.

Has a good front half, but absolutely falls apart in the back half. Final Zone and boss genuinely gave me a headache with their harsh strobe effects. Some good music, but is overall just okay.

Very unique and has a very distinct 90's charm to it, bit it's a very weird and needlessly difficult game. You can do better but you can also do a lot worse.

It's... fine. Really not much to say about this one. Probably one of the easiest and shortest Sonic games but it's definitely not bad, just kinda average.

Honestly? This game is pretty underrated. Has solid levels, colorful graphics and great music. Not groundbreaking by any means, and definitely not the pinnacle of 2D Sonic, but a pretty solid game that's worth checking out.

Can we not?

A kart racer on the SEGA Game Gear. By god, they tried, but didn't quite stick the landing. Because the Game Gear's screen resolution is so low, you can't see oncoming turns until right before you need to start turning, so it can be pretty frustrating. They really should have just made this on the Genesis.

It's a Sonic game without any sense of speed at any point during gameplay, which is just sacreligious, but even if you look past that it's just kind of dull at best.

Far from a masterpiece but has a lot of charm and great presentation. Love those exaggerated, cartoony animations.

Unironically good. Has a lot of care and polish put into it, with surprisingly intuitive motion controls and tons of excellent fanservice for longtime Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog fans. Easy reccomendation for anyone looking for a good Wii party game.

An iconic 3D platformer with great levels and presentation, but it has not aged well at all. It's still a fun romp, but it is very much a game from 25 years ago, with a pretty bad camera control system and some questionable design choices. The levels, exploration, collectathon elements and abundance of charm are still great to this day, though.
