LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE GAME THAT WAS MEANT TO BE.
The funnest sprawliest stages, the slappiest music, the cheekiest player traps, just the best feeling. The game even handles frustration/fun incredibly well and can feel so rewarding at times.
It's a shame it takes a nosedive at around the final levels and the boss gautlent is so frustrating it almost makes you hate everything.
But I don't hate it. I replayed some stages right after a frustrating finish just to be sure, and I love it very much.
It's not perfect, it can definitely feel rough around the edges, and I think they still have stuff to improve on the Sonic formula. But it's one of those games where it's just impossible to hate it, it's just too charming and too fun.
If this had been Sonic 1, SEGA would still be in the console business tbh
