The love for SA3 is a bit puzzling.
To tell you the truth, I don't think all of the Sonic Advance games are all that great. I just feel that SAdv3 is the least problematic among the three.

I never played Sonic NG Pocket.

Oh yeah, Knuckles is also my favourite Sonic "friend". I also liked Charmy on the Chaotix team...

I don't understand why so many people like Metropolis? It's probably my least favourite zone from Sonic 2 and pretty close to the bottom of my least favourite zones overall.

It's only fair I post my choices.

1. Tough choice, I like them all, except for the American cover art. But I will go for the original Japanese art.

Perhaps the suggestion to fuse all styles together isn't a bad idea... :wink:

2. I like all of them, but Sonic 1 is pure magic to me.

3. Favorite zones, let's see...
- Spring Yard zone
- Labyrinth zone
- Starlight zone
- Chemical Plant zone
- Casino Night zone
- Wacky Workbench (I don't get the hate for that level)
- Stardust Speedway
- Carnival Night zone

4. SA1, hands down.

5. Favorite zones...
- Emerald Coast
- Speed Highway
- Windy Valley
- Twinkle Park
- City escape
- Final Rush (the lack of love is puzzling)
- Metal Harbor
- Green Hill

6. Sonic Advance 1.

7. never mind.

8. Tails.

9. Eggman.

Isn't Final Rush a level with a lot of rails?

...yeah, the lack of love is justified there.

So is Sky Rails, but that level pales in comparison.

This seems a good way to introduce myself while avoiding that frightening intro thread...

1) f. It's a tough choice, but Sonic Adventure style is more fun to draw.
2) d. S3&K. Cliche, perhaps.
3) Hidden Palace (ha!) because it had the most story. And Flying Battery for gameplay in general.
4) b. SA2. I won't even go into details.
5) Pyramid Cave springs immediately to mind. Metal Harbor, Hot Shelter, and Pumpkin Hill were good, too.
6) c. SA3. Better levels and gameplay. And thank god for Jump Dash.
7) Route 99, Sunset Hill, Cybertrack, and Chaos Angel. Did I mention SAd3 had better levels.
8) b. Knuckles. Hooray for brashness!
9) c. Shadow. I'm sorry.

Heh. First mention of a Knuckles' Chaotix level I think. I thought about them when I picked my favourite levels but none really stand out for me. Speed Slider was kinda cool but not as fast as it could have been. The other levels were so-so. Not great but not really bad either. Amazing Arena was pretty original.

Of course I'm the only one who voted for a Chaotix stage. It takes a man of refined taste to appreciate the caliber of such a fabtabulicious game. Oh, and it had Vector in it.
