Labyrinth Zone Act 2's massive shortcut with the floating block in Sonic 1. It was hidden well enough that it reminded me of some of the secrets in Mario 3. Other than that, any little easter egg in Sonic CD was completely worth it to me. Sonic Adventure 1's models of metal and mecha sonic.

Labrynth hidden area was great, all those years as a kid I only got up there by using debug, use to think it was an unused area or you had to get some lucky bounce off a fish to get up there, then after finding area 51 finding out that you trigger that small moving block by going down into the water first, my mind was blown!

@ all the people that said Cream's cameo in Sadx was cool,
I hate how you are forced to see it, since you can't move until after she has already left... It's like hiding an easter egg at the place you start at, right in front of you.

As for my suggestion, I like how Tails follows Sonic in the Genesis games, you didn't have to do that and could have kept it as "Sonic only" and "Tails Only" or only having Tails in 2p much like Luigi in the Mario series, BUT THEY DIDN'T!
The only thing I hate is how Tails' tails stick out when he's in a ball in the genesis games... It just looks cheap, because they could have made the tail object invisible when he's rolling

Wait, what's that about Tails' tails? It's cute- and doesn't make any sense how they remain stationary and the rest of his spins. I was disappointed to no see this in 3D games. Rivals 2 did a nice job of it though.

The text on the boxes for Sonic 2, and Sonic CD, they make up my signature (as well as some text from SA1 style artwork).

To live a life of power, you must have faith that what you believe is right, even if others tell you you're wrong The first thing you must do to live a life of power is to find courage. You must be ready to reach beyond the boundaries of time itself. And to do that all you need to do is take the first step.

Kinda hard to read the text, so here is the image blown up, taken from Gems collections museum.

Don't just sit there and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, do it right away. Do it when you can. It's the only way to live a life without regrets.

Unnecessary? You bet it is! Awesome and my favorite? Hell yes!!!

In Sonic 2 for Game Gear, first zone, when you ride the mine carts you are given the unnecessary ability to look up and down while riding. I don't know why, but I always found this amusing.

Moreso because the looking-down sprite either looks like he's cowering in terror or vomiting XD

I thought the second quote was from the first game. Yes, I agree as well. Those are two awesome quotes right there.

An extra I always liked was Sonic CD's timeout.
