Hero-of-Time Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 A pretty cool little feature from Games Radar, makes you remember the good old days when Sonic games were actually fun to play. It also has a pretty cool music video to go with it and yes I do like that song...what? I really do! http://www.gamesradar.com/f/the-best-sonic-moments-ever-with-video/a-2008041010312977069 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Some good things in there, especially from Sonic 1 and 2. Did you see the bubble one? Man those were the bane of my Sonic days... the amount of times he drowned on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Pff... it's missing the real amazing moments from the mega-drive games. What about Hidden Palace zone's music in Sonic and Knuckles? What about the first time you got all the chaos emeralds in Sonic 2 and turned into Super Sonic? What about the special stages, bloody hell, what about Casino Night Zone?

darksnowman Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yeah I hated that zone as a kid but now I steam through it. Tell you what, I still struggle on the likes of Chemical Plant Zone when it comes to the watery bits. Its a mixture of just wishing Sonic could swim and then building panic, because I know its only a matter of time before the music will start... and then... death. My skillz haven't developed as well as yours have over the years, sensei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just got that tune stuck in my head... I love Casino Night Zone, used to spend ages just jumping in the slot machine things for ages and forgetting to finish the level.

Goron_3 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 That was pretty cool, but they did indeed miss out quite a few awesome moments. Hidden Palace zone for example was incredible; the whole story came together at that point and the battle between Sonic and Knuckles was just AWESOME! Then just after when Robotnik tries to kill knuckles and knuckles helps you get to Sky Santuary...<3 Also, I'm surprised the fight with metal sonic wasn't there...that was hot.

Jonnas Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yeah, they totally left out Super Sonic. And Hyper Sonic. And Metal Sonic. And the fight between Knuckles and Sonic. How come all those moments end with the same word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Some nice moments in there, sure there are loads more but they did well to narrow it down to the ones they liked the best, I miss the good old Sonic days I really hope Sonic Unleashed may be some sort of redemption for the series, we shall see...

Guest Jordan Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Sonic Rush was good... Rush Adventure was kinda crap mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I love how they included the camera being slow They nailed it bang on the head with that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I really hope Sonic Unleashed may be some sort of redemption for the series, we shall see... Redemption?? Only Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 was bad. Heroes was very average. But the rest were good. The two Rush games were awesome (especially Adventure). They get more hate then they deserve.

Now that surprises me that these moments were not included in the Top 10, these were great moments in the Sonic series. And thanks, i now have the Casino Night theme glued in my head, must play this level when i go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Casino Night, Casino Night... Am I the only one who preferred Chemical Plant, Hill Top and Mystic Cave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The speed-up cog in Sonic CD was amazing at the time. I'm surprised they didn't include the first time you travel through time on CD on the list. That was pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Casino Night, Casino Night... Am I the only one who preferred Chemical Plant, Hill Top and Mystic Cave? Ruins Sonic 2 for me. Hill Top is alrightish. Chemical Plant is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Ruins Sonic 2 for me. I thought it was a nice change of pace. Oh, well, I'm in the minority, so I'll just shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I like the Mystic Cave zone. All except that bit where you fell onto spikes and can't get out, and if you were Super Sonic at the time, you just had to stand there and wait for your rings to run out so you could die and try again.

Oh yeah, that pit was lame. It could be bottomless, but nooo it had to have those useless spikes. Doesn't compare to that one time where my game had a glitch when I arrived at Scrap Brain. Sonic got stuck into a wall and couldn't move. I had to wait until the TIMER ended. Sucked big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thought I'd pop this in here. Anyone any thoughts on this as I've always felt it was just bull. But now? I'm not so sure... Kikizo: Going a bit further back, I wonder if you can clear up some speculation that’s been around for years now, that Michael Jackson was involved in the music production for Sonic 3? There is some really quite convincing evidence on the internet. You must surely be the guy to say yes it’s true, or no it’s not?! Naka: [laughs] It’s best that you ask Sega! Kikizo: Well, er, it was your game, Naka-san… nobody at Sega would even know any more… Naka: It’s a mystery [laughs]. This information is on a need-to-know basis! [laughs more] One day, when the time comes, I will give you the information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I always thought that Michael Jackson was never directly involved in Sonic 3, but his songwriters were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Didn't Jacko write most of his own stuff back then?! I thought that's why he was considered a leg-end at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 * Bobby Brooks - engineer for Michael Jackson. Sequenced synthesizers and drums on Blood on the Dance Floor and mixed HIStory. * Darryl Ross - vague, ill-defined resume credit: "Darryl Ross is an accomplished producer, musician, songwriter, arranger and vocalist. Artists he worked with are Michael Jackson...". * Geoff Grace - arranger for Michael Jackson. Credited for arranging the music for Jackson's Dangerous tour. * Brad Buxer - performed arranging, keyboards, sequencing and more for Blood on the Dance Floor and Invincible. * Doug Grigsby - unknown credit on HIStory. They did various thinks for Jacko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Listen to the Ice Cap Zone music from Sonic 3, it's so MJ it's crazy (the bassline sounds quite like Smooth Criminal at points too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 It really does. I only heard about the MJ rumor the other day when reading this thread and then doing some nostalgia digging myself but it does make sense! Launch Base Zone has such a huge influence, I reckon. The "Hey! Hey! Hey!" and the bassline and the feel of it is just ridiculously MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
