Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit)

Prestine condition too.

Where in the Timeline does Mania & Superstars come in? (Same with 8-Bit Sonic 1 & 2, Chaos & Triple Trouble)

I know the first 4

1

CD

2

3&K

But where does Mania and Superstars (And the 8-Bit games) take place in that timeline?

My rating: 8/10

My opinion: Great transition from 16-bit to 8-bit

By the way, I played and beat both versions.

Positives:

-The controls are fluid and smooth

-The graphics are amazing for an 8-bit console

-Music is still really good

-The game features new and unique Zones

-Platforming is actually fun

-The two 8-bit versions have different stage layouts

-The game has Bonus Panels which give a reward, depending on the image

Negatives:

-Flickering sprites (Master System)

-Screen crunch (Game Gear)

-Bosses (including the final one) are a JOKE

-Special Stages are still mediocre and don't have Chaos Emeralds anymore

-The latter are found in Zones themselves, not knowing where to go or check

-L A B Y R I N T H Z O N E

-Enemy placements are even more annoying

-The game relies on platforming instead of speed

-Every Act is too short

-You have to fight bosses with ZERO Rings

Zones:

Green Hill:

Still a great zone. It may not be as fast as its 16-bit counterpart, but still has a lot of fun elements, like slopes.

Bridge:

One of the unique Zones. Has sections with collapsing bridges and a lot of platforming. However, there is an auto-scroller. IN A SONIC GAME. I hate auto-scrollers in games that involve speed.

Jungle:

Another unique Zone. This one has swinging platforms and logs which you can ride and skip boring sections that take a long time. However, the second Act is a vertical level. When you jump on a platform, the screen locks and everything at the bottom is death. That is not the case with the Game Gear version due to the screen being a lot smaller.

Labyrinth:

Out of all the Zones you had in the 16-bit version, OF COURSE YOU PICKED THE WORST ZONE IN UNIVERSE! The controls are even slower in water and it takes like a million years to touch the ground when you jump. At least you can survive in water for longer without drowning. But the negatives HEAVILY outweigh the positives.

Scrap Brain:

Another returning Zone. This one isn't that great in my opinion, but its still miles better than Labyrinth. The second Act feels like a maze which cannot be solved, but its not that hard to figure out. Strangely, the third Act doesn't have a boss.

Sky Base:

The last Zone in the game. There are flying bullets and lightning everywhere, making it almost impossible to not get hit. The final boss differs between the two 8-bit versions, though I can say the Game Gear one is a lot easier.

While most people choose one version over the other, I recommend playing both of them.

Next up, I'll review the 8-bit version of Sonic 2 (since it came out first).

Sin 1: No spindash? *Insert "No madens?" meme here*

It's where depending on how many Sonic games are released in one year, you must pick that many (non-)Sonic songs in that same year

For example (Part 1: 1991):

• Sonic The Hedgehog

• Sonic The Hedgehog (8-bit)

• Sonic The Hedgehog (LCD Game)

• Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car

• Sonic Eraser

The songs could be:

• Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana

• Enter Sandman by Metallica

• Black or White by Michael Jackson

• Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Guns N' Roses

• The Show Must Go On by Queen

Don't steal my answers!

Now, this is kind of a test run, and I don't know if it will get locked or not. I just thought it was something kind of fun to do that has something to do with 2 of my favorite things: Sonic and music
