Now this is how you do a sequel! While I'm not the biggest fan of the original Sonic game, Sonic 2 fixes my biggest issue with the original: it's level design. Most of the levels in Sonic 2 are fun to run through, thanks to a greater focus on building up and maintaining speed. Tails also makes his debut in this game, and I think he's fun to play with, even if I do prefer Sonic. Special stages also return and while they can be difficult at times, once you get the hang of it I find the half pipe pretty fun. My only real complaint with Sonic 2 is it's final zone is somewhat short and not as good as the rest of the game's levels. Still though, this is one of the better sequels to any game I've played. Also I did play this through Origins on Switch.
