  I’m 35, my sister is older. We played Sonic 2 the most in the 90s. It was my grandmas, she was the sega gamer. Will always be precious to me because of those reasons. And I wanted to play as Tails, we actually argue about who would be Tails. I’d get mad at my sister for not waiting for me :)

  I'm old now, and the level select, super sonic, and debug soundtest cheats are still seared in my mind. This was (and possibly still is) my favourite game.

  I gotta say the theme song for Chemical Plant Zone has to be some of the coolest music in a sonic game. Nothing has me grooving like it does, except something obvious like Live and Learn lol

  The addition of the spin dash alone was what Sonic 2 needed over Sonic 1

  I had heard that Chemical Plant was originally the first two acts of Death Egg Zone but were deemed too easy for final stage levels and were thus relocated as its own zone.

  I love Tails. I know a lot of people think he's dorky and dopey, but that's the charm. He's a sweet little kid who needs the role model of Sonic. And he's adorable.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwxaW9B5cRA&amp;t=1352">22:32</a> &quot;Can mobians just breathe in space?&quot;<br><br>Hi, Sonic nerd here. Yes, yes they can. Not only are there tons of games where Sonic and friends hang around on the outside of space stations without any direct confirmation of life support systems or what have you... But also, Super Sonic has been far outside the planet&apos;s atmosphere plenty of times, despite the fact he CANNOT breathe underwater. Despite his invincibility, Super Sonic still needs to breathe, yet it never seems to be an issue when fighting anything from Eggman near the Death Egg&apos;s orbit, to the Nega Mother Wisp far outside the influence of Eggman&apos;s space amusement park in Colors.

  The game was too difficult for me but Tails is just too adorable... so much I named a cat after him! <br>Tails is still my favorite character to this day.

  It’s funny, literally everybody in the western world who had a younger sister, in the 90s, and a genesis, has the same memory of their little sister, who wasn’t nearly into games as much if at all, playing as tails on controller 2 in single player at least once.

  I think the music deserves a lot more words than a few

  Insane how many levels/zones were in Sonic2 and that you either never ever saw, or rarely played simply because there was no saving and no one casually sat for 6h trying to reach end-game.
