valid argument
same. I much prefer the 1 and CD styles. some say the cd style is too bold and busy. the audacity...
it was the nineties, for pete's sake!
it was the nineties, for pete's sake!
okay thats understandable i mean i like the sonic 1 art style alot more
just the art style in general. they have, for lack of a better term, rugged and stale graphics.
well guess what i agree on your opinion with that i don't like how Shiny everyone is i mean sonic, tails and knuckles look like there covered in something that causes them to look shiny with looks weird
maybe it's the graphics.
what exactly is the reason you think so, you know tell everyone so we know why
I know everyone will literally want to kill me for this, but I feel this is one of the lesser classic Sonic games.
don't try to change my mind, it's just how my brain works.

personally i do like the fact that the site got renovated but i find some design choices questionable
yeah it got renovated
i don't think this is the correct place to say but the site looks a lot different now
Hot take here, but Launch Base Zone has always been my favorite zone in this game. The music, the design and colors, the final boss at the bottom of the Death Egg, perfect in my opinion.
@Rayman95Fan I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I say Sonic 1/CD. Sonic 3's death sprites are just... off.
Which sheet includes the explosions after beating a boss?
@Rayman95Fan So like with Sonic? Well to me it gotta be Sonic 3's version. I really like the redesign the gave they gave to him, with his bigger shoes and hands, his idle sprite mouth, and the smaller eyes, but unfortunately it does lack consistency between his different sprites
What sprites of the genesis games is the best in your guys opinion?
Where is the water effect, or is the same sprite shared between the Genesis trilogy?
@P-Tux7: Those can be found on the prototype version's Special Stage sprite sheet, since that was what they were used for in said prototype.
Which sheet are the red "Debug Spheres" on?
