I find the music and presentation and characters just so thrilling. It really elevates a pretty ok platform game for me. Bought the game again and played all the stories just so I could play that 2 min Super Sonic stage again... Those endings with the power and the sonic rock music really just give me a thrill and take me all the way back. Thanks to my friend for playing 1 and half Knuckles stages, really needed that help. lol
