SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOOOOM

Of the classic 2D Sonic games in Sonic Origins Plus this is the one I played the least, probably only 3 or 4 times. I remember being super excited to play this originally in the Sonic Gems Collection and I have to say I liked it more this time around than I remembered. The art is really vibrant and I love the look of the stages, which is made even better by adding in the Future and Past looks as well. The stages are very inventive with tons of fun creative sections like the shrunken Sonic and even some background/foreground mechanics. While the stages do slow down for some platforming segments the game does a good job of letting you get a nice flow and speed along without stopping too much. The boss fights are also super creative compared to most in the early games, I really like the Metal Sonic race and the Eggman fight where you are on the treadmill (I love the running away animation Eggman does after you beat him in fights). Definitely better than I remembered, plus Metal Sonic is too cool.
