The original Sonic the Hedgehog. I'd go far as to say that if anybody here has played and completed it more than I have, you're a fucking freak. :P

Even more so since I got my PSP (which I got with Sega Megadrive Collection) since I now use it as a 22-minute timer for cooking a pizza in the oven, meaning I complete the game about twice a week wink.png

The game itself: Sonic 2, then 1, then 3 & Knuckles, then CD. Naturally, I am better at the games I played first.

Special Stages: This is really a tie between Sonic 1 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Followed by CD, and then 2.

Overall: I guess Sonic 1.

I'd have to say Sonic 1-3K, as well as maybe Sonic CD, for different reasons. I grew up on these games so that would be the main reason I'd say I'm quite good at them.

I can get really good times on Sonic 1, and when I go a little slower, I can complete the game whilst only taking one or two hits in total. Similarly with Sonic 2 I can get some amazing times when going at full speed as I can remember the shortcuts and fast routes for the most part due to years and years of play. I also have most of the special stages memorised now, somehow, so the Emeralds are generally really quick and easy for me to get.

Sonic 3K is the one I've played the most, so it goes without saying that I must have some sort of skill level with that one now (I hope so, at least) ;P I'm really good at the special stages in this one for some reason, so I always get all the Chaos and Super Emeralds when I play through it from the start.

With Sonic CD, I can remember exactly where the machines are in the past of each Act, so it's pretty straightforward for me to play in that regard.

Sonic 1 is the only one I'm good at. It's nice to know I've developed my skills to be able to get all the Chaos Emeralds and complete the game without Continues or Save States. This is probably something people 'round here have been doing for years, but cut a newbie some slack. =P

I am still terrible at all of the other games though. And I haven't played Sonic CD.

I'm probably best at Sonic 2, I can get through the entire game (+ Chaos Emeralds) in a few hours. I blame the obscene amount of time spent playing (And replaying, and re-replaying etc) the game as a kid.

I'm also pretty good at S3K, obviously takes a bit longer to get through than S2 but I can complete it with all Emeralds and Super Emeralds without too much fuss.

I'm okay at S1 itself but I'm not great at the Special Stages or any of the underwater zones/acts. Especially that Scrap Brain/Labyrinth hybrid sad.png

I am best at Sonic 1. Only because it was the first game that I owned for the Genesis. Damn, I played that game to death..... And so much that I can hum every song in the game while playing. Gotta love Star Light Zone! v.png

Sonic 1, without question. I'm so good at the Special Stages that I could practically beat them in my sleep (and that includes the Megamix versions of the stages, too)! smile.png

I wish I could say S3K, but for some reason I'm better at Sonic 2. Huh.

I am best at Sonics 1-3/K. I wasted far too much of my childhood playing those games.

I'm best at Sonic 3 & Knuckles, followed by Sonic 2, Sonic 1, then Sonic 3D Blast.

I'm best at Sonic CD, which I can pretty much beat without a single death. I'm also pretty good at S3K (with the exception of Death Egg Zone, which I've always been terrible at), as I can run through it with relatively few errors. On the other hand, I'm not too good at Sonic 2 (Especially Metropolis and up), and I'm absolutely terrible at Sonic 1 - even Marble Zone trips me up fairly often, and it just goes downhill from there.

Same here. I played the hell out of all of them, but Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the one I continue to play to this day, so naturally it's the one I'm best at. I actually find the original surprisingly difficult, and I suck at the later levels of Sonic 3D Blast because that game usually loses my interest about halfway through. I can beat 3D Blast fairly easily, but it's so tedious that I tend to play it recklessly just to get through those last few zones as quickly as possible.

Sonic 2, by far. I have been playing that game since I was 5, and have perfected it.
Also. S3K is pretty easy, but have not been practicing that. Triple Trouble I have been practicing on and off since I was 5, also.
Worst game would have to be Spinball or Sonic CD. Or possible Sonic 2 GG
