One of the weirdest pieces of obscure Sonic media, and it's a simple puzzle game with not much to do with sonic at all. People often seem to call this a Puyo Puyo rip-off when it's actually more akin to Columns. And, honestly, is it strange that I kinda prefer this over Columns? It might be a bit strange since people really seem to absolutely detest this game for some reason. Yeah, it's a bit mechanically complicated for a "board-based piece-matching keep-away-from-the-top puzzle game" or whatever it's supposed to be called, and I'm not too big of a fan of round or doubt mode but it was still some pretty decent fun to play. However, it suffers from the same overall problem that Columns does, in that it's rather barebones so playing it can get old pretty quickly and it's generally dull aesthetic-wise but I find the latter point less so in comparison to Columns primarily due to it's strange enigmatic status as obscure media. Like, it's that fascinating old and sleek simplicity of it's time as well as that weird and mostly abrasive soundtrack; it really does a lot for for me than Columns ever did. (Seriously that versus song is my favorite kind of awful)

It's also still honestly worth playing to witness the hilarious visual of Sonic punching another Sonic.
