SANIC

I never could get into these. Love the music, and the art style, an especially the characters. But I found the level design and platforming too chaotic and nonsensical compared to Super Mario.

Really the only Genesis game I remember loving to actually play was Ecco the Dolphin.

    They're not really supposed to be played like Mario. Sonic is about getting through the level aa quick as you can without dying.

    To be fair, the game doesn't really reward you for doing that (besides the time bonus). But the levels are designed for it.

    Most platformers you just keep going to the right.

    Sonic has you going left, up, down, and all around. Sometimes you hit dead ends. Sometimes you don't even have much control over where you go (such as in the casino levels). It was frustrating.

    You never played Metroid?

    If the goal of Metroid was to get to the right most side of the map as fast as possible, I probably wouldn't have liked it, assuming it used the same exact map.

    (I also didn't have it as a kid and only ever played it at Sears and Toys R Us if it was on the demo machine 🤷‍♂️)
