Sonic's story independently might be the best game in the whole series - near-perfect pacing, back-to-back fantastic level concepts, a thrilling sense of adrenaline, so much joy to be had in the vocal deliveries and iconic lines, and the best video game soundtrack ever performed.
Sonic's friend's stories could be better - not primarily because of the gameplay, but because of the overworld/story padding. They each only get about 15 minutes of gameplay between them, but they all took over an hour each because you're re-watching all these scenes you've already seen. It was really fatiguing fighting Chaos 4 a total of three times (all while Redream fucked up the floor textures and triggered my acrophobia, ewww). But believe me, I do like playing as all of them, one way or another.
I'm not a remake-obsessed guy but if Adventure ever did get revisited, I'd want them to go the extra mile with these other character's stories - change up the dialogue, do more to reflect how they're experiencing these events from their POV, maybe add in more inner-monologue, definitely make the gameplay sections a little meatier and difficult too.

The Brainworms Got Me And I Will Absolutely Be Playing Sonic Adventure 2 Again Soon :)

Okay, you linked Crazy Robo. I'll let you off the hook for not posting Gamma's theme.
i agree that Sonic's playthrough is perfect but I'd absolutely put E-102's up there with it. mostly because his theme song WHIPS.
^ THIS, I'd personally go as far to say that Gamma's story is my personal favorite.
Still, I completely get your point that the other stories anre mostly weirdly paced and have a ton of padding, It's probably the worst thing about the game design basis, but toherwise, yeah, I love playing as this bunch of goofballs. Excited to see what you'll have tosay about Adventure 2! I also have to play that one, and I'm really curious about it.

Mechanical Resonance was linked... it's unjoeover
I’d also love an adventure remake given how strong Frontiers was, but I’m so afraid of the fan discourse it would bring regarding the gameplay and characters and other stuff that’s insufferably scrutinized and debated already.
Curious on what you think of adventure 2 when you get around to it since I’ve been going back and forth on it and adventure 1 ever since revisiting them again last year.
