How do you prefer your Sonic games? 2D or 3D?

I'm surprised to hear there are a lot of people that don't like Sonic. I get liking Mario games (both 2D and 3D) have been treated a lot better than Sonic has over the years, but Sonic games, particularly the 2D games, have been pretty solid over the years if you're a fan of the genre.

While it's not often I play 2D or 3D platformers, I do like both genres. However, I never cared for Sonic's fast-paced arcade-like action, so it's always been a franchise I've turned away from. I acknowledge that plenty of entries are commendable, but it's just not a design choice for me.

I don't see myself as a "huuuuuge" fan of the sonic-franchise, but I played some titles, 2D and 3D alike. I personally prefer the 8bit and 16bit Sonic-games. The only enjoyable feature of later (3D) releases for me was training chao's  ::)

Sonic-games on MasterSystem or Genesis/MegaDrive are classic platformers, especially the first two main-titles, with later titles emphasizing more on dashing and speed - I personally like exploring stages and collecting everything I can reach, so the more fast paced titles kind of spoil this for me.
Nervertheless, I confess to like Sonic-games in general. Some more, some less ...

I think it's the gameplay loop for myself, a lot of 2D Sonic is just blindly running into things, and it's cool high speed stuff, but even as a kid, while I did mostly like them enough, I never liked them as well as a regular platformer like Mario.  It's why I brought up Generations as my favorite game, because it takes 2D Sonic and pulls the camera back which is way more enjoyable since you have time to actually react to stuff.

After having a surprisingly good time playing Sonic Dream Team late last year, I decided to replay Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 quite recently. While they are fun, they don't hold up all that well, they give me the same feeling that Super Mario 64 did me when I replayed it earlier this year; in the sense that I can definitely see the appeal of it, and how revolutionary they were for their time, they just don't hold up all that great.
On the other hand, Sonic 1, 2, 3&K, CD, and Mania are absolutely awesome to just pick up and play, especially when I only have thirty to sixty minutes to game. I'd say 2D for sure, while the 3D entries are a mixed bag, decent at best, absolute dog crap at worst.
