Man, looking through I actually don't have as much fondness for the Genesis as I thought I did. Most games I played on it where multi-platform where I preferred the SNES version and where I would have trouble narrowing down my SNES list, even filling a Genesis one is kinda hard. -Sonic 2 -Sonic 3 & Knuckles -Sonic Obvious choices out of the way, these are the reason I bought a Genesis (though used from Gamestop for cheap after the systems hayday) in the first place. I hold the slightly controversial ranking in which I prefer Sonic 2 over Sonic 3, though this may be because I never completed a full play-through until a few years back where I had played 1 & 2 fully as a kid. - Gunstar Heroes One of the few true things to hold over the SNES in playground debates. I didn't play it until later, but it's amazing in gameplay and music while being very unique. Seven Force is in my top 10 bosses ever for sure. - Rocket Knight Adventures Really unique gameplay gimmick and excellent music. Stands above the rest of the non-Sonic mascot platformers. - Castlevania: Bloodlines Stands toe-to-toe with the SNES' Castlevania offerings. Not up to 4's standard, but perhaps better than Dracula X. - Aladdin The SNES and Genesis version are different enough to be considered their own game. Really tight platforming. This is really where my list proper ends. There are a lot of games I enjoyed on it as a kid (Vectorman 1 & 2, Mickey & Donald: World of Illusion, Golden Axe, etc.) but they have failed to remain as prominent in my tastes as the above games or their SNES cousins. |

The unfortunate thing for me with Sonic, is that I don't like to play Sonic anymore. Like I can pop on a Mario game at most any point in the series and have a pretty great time, but after playing through Sonic Mania, the series anymore is really only about its style and music for me and not it's actual gameplay, of which most of the time is just about running into stuff you can't see coming. It's one of those unfortunate things that just never held up for me. |

Mario on the other wether it's 2 or 3d those games could compete with the best games on the system. it's not a big suprise why mario is so well loved the games are timeless. you can;t really compare mario to sonic really. sonic is more of a mascot with some above average games while mario is a mascot with some of the best games on the platform. i can actually see mario world being a top 10 game on snes. sonic 2 3 or knuckles being top 3 on sega not really. If i where to compare sonic to mario it's like comparing an old car to a ferrari there is no competition really. Mario games had a ton of stuff. 1 alien solider 2 gunstar heroes 3 shinobi III 4 second samurai 5 castlevania new generation 6 contra hard cops/ probotector 7: thunder force IV 8: shining force 2 9: adventures of batman & robin 10:gynoug/ wings of wor |
