Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii) - My first Sonic-related game. It's no better than the other games of this series, but it's still fun in its own right.

Sonic Unleashed (Wii) - Better than the HD versions, due to the lack of forced exploration, simplified final boss, better Eggmanland, and simplified level-up system.

Sonic and the Black Knight (Wii) - What Secret Rings should've been! Also has the best Sonic soundtrack by far, tied with Lost World.

Sonic Colors (Wii) - BEST. SONIC GAME. EVAR!

Sonic Classic Collection (DS) - Haven't played this much, given how difficult the old games are. However, thanks to this compilation, I'm able to put S3&K on my Top 10 list of Sonic games.

Sonic Generations (3DS) - Fun and replayable, but is hampered by bland level-design and lack of 3D gameplay.

Sonic Lost World (Wii U/3DS) - Both are highly enjoyable. I prefer the 3DS version due to its more cohesive level-design and more interesting boss fights. It also lets you re-watch cutscenes and has better multiplayer. Wii U version looks better, though.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U) - Has flaws up the wazoo, but is not as bad as everyone says it is. If you can look past the fact that it doesn't feel Sonic-like, you're left with a generic yet enjoyable game with good writing and decent design. I've even played through it more than once and enjoyed it every time.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal (3DS) - Better than RoL, with very interesting design-choices. Forced exploration wasn't as much of an issue for me as it was for others. However, the game is too short, only has one boss fight, and gives no reward for beating it 100%.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) - Second best Smash game. Sonic himself sucks in this game, though!

Super Super Bros. 4 (Wii U/3DS) - Best Smash game ever. Still not a fan of Sonic's playstyle despite his buffs.
