  I kinda wish that Sonic 4 Episode III didn't get cancelled, because if Episode II was just a little better than the original it makes me wonder how Episode III would have improved

  Not a high bar to pass but Episode 2 is better than 1 and it was probably one of the better uses of Metal Sonic with at least 1 decent boss fight. I kinda like White Park and Sky Fortress as stages but yeah this game is just there. I like having team moves with tails but Advance 3 does this way better and him not being playable normally is...dumb.

  It's a shame the gameplay is so forgettable cause there's some pretty neat and at times gorgeous looking level themes here.  Nighttime castlegrounds, winter amusement parks, sky fortresses by the sunset - it'd be nice to have these kinda settings revisited someday.

  Episode 2 might be mediocre, but that Metal Sonic theme is fire.

  Also as a note: tails’ air flying combo does have an unlimited time, but you can only use the jump button 7 times before he tires out

  It's really been 10 years since Sonic 4? Damn, I feel old.

  This game actually got me to be a Sonic fan and made me meet some people that would change my life forever, and for that reason, this game is always is a special part of any Sonic Marathon I do.

  Funnily enough, Sonic 4 Episode 2 is one of the first Sonic games I ever played along with the Sonic CD remaster and Sonic Dash!

  Hot take: I actually like Sonic 4 episode 2, but it still has flaws, like not having Tails playable normally, so he&apos;s locked to Multi-player, being short, not as good as the Genesis game or CD, but still a experience I enjoy from time to time, way better than Sonic 4, and some years ago, I even considered this better than Sonic 3, but that did change after I got Sonic Mega Collection on new year.

  I still hold the opinion that Sonic 4 EP 2 is somewhat underrated. Yeah, the stage design isn’t the best, and the music has it’s misses, but I will forever love the aesthetics. It’s such a step up from EP 1, and in stages like Sylvania Castle and Sky Fortress, the backgrounds are gorgeous. Also the despite how repetitive it is, I like how aggressive the Eggman boss theme is here than in the last game.
