=== Reviewing the games ===
* Sonic 1 (16-bit, MD, 1991) - Good, but not as much as Sonic 2.
* Sonic 1 (8-bit, MS, 1991) - A good recreation of the Sonic 1 for the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis, awesomely adapted for the SEGA Master System.
* Sonic 2 (8-bit, MS, 1992) - Average, awesome music, but way too dark.
* Sonic 2 (16-bit, MD, 1992) - THE MOST AWESOME GAME IN THE SERIES, IT'S DA BEST!!! Tails, the spindash and others!
* Sonic CD (16-bit, CD, 1993) - Better than Sonic 1, but can't be better than Sonic 2. I hate the American soundtrack.
* Sonic Drift (8-bit, GG, 1993) - Some fans hate it, but I consider it good. Good, a little bit worse better than Sonic 1.
* Sonic 3 and Knuckles (16-bit, MD, 1994) - Terrible. One of the worst ones, along with Sonic EYX (which is even worse than Sonic 3 and Knuckles) and Sonic Omens (which is only a little to no better).
* Sonic Drift 2 (8-bit, GG, 1994) - No better than Sonic Drift.
* Sonic 3D Blast (16-bit, MD, 1996) - Same as Sonic Drift.
* Sonic R (32-bit, STRN, 1997) - The same as the 8-bit Sonic 2, because of the Tails Doll.
* Sonic's Schoolhouse (32-bit, PC, 1997) - I like that it inspired Baldi's Basics, good, except those nightmarish animals.
* Sonic Jam (hybrid, STRN, 1997) - Better than Sonic Pocket Adventure, Sonic R and Sonic Adventure.
* Sonic Adventure (32-bit, DC, 1998) - Worse than Sonic R.
* Sonic Pocket Adventure (8-bit, NGPC, 1999) - Better than Sonic R and Sonic Adventure.
* Sonic Adventure 2 (32-bit, DC, 2001) - Terrible, but still better than Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Sonic 06 or Sonic Omens, but worse than Sonic Adventure. Way too dark. The Real Time Fandub is better.
* Sonic Advance (8-bit, GBA, 2001) - Reminds me of old Sonic games from the 90s, pretty much good.
* Sonic Advance 2 (8-bit, GBA, 2002) - Good, I like the ending.
* Sonic Advance 3 (8-bit, GBA, 2003) - Good, I like that it inspired Sonic.exe/Sally.exe's KINDANDFAIR level.
* Sonic 1 (16-bit, J2ME, 2005) - Average, responsible for the infamous Sonic GBA port (totally not creepypasta).
* Sonic X (hybrid, EDU, 2005) - Same as Sonic Drift and 3D Blast, however, the sprites are terrible.
* Sonic 2 (hybrid, J2ME, 2006) - Terrible, because no Tails.
* Sonic 06 (32-bit, PC, 2006) - Terrible, because of the story and "NOW LOADING..." overdoses. Easily, one of the worst Sonic games ever made. Buggy and way too dark.
* Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis (AKA Sonic 1 GBA) (16-bit, GBA, 2006) - Terrible, because of the soundtrack and optimization.
* Sonic the Hedgehog (AKA Sonic 08) (hybrid, EDU, 2008) - Terrible, easily, one of the worst Sonic games ever made. Especially because of the graphics.
* Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (32-bit, PC, 2009) - Average, because wait a minute, Mario and Sonic were rivals, right? Actually, I hate Mario and I love Sonic. (UPDATE: Now I like both)
* Sonic Generations (32-bit, PC, 2011) - Average. The story and Classic Sonic's cuteness are the good things. The bad things are the terrible sound effects, Sonic 06 being considered canon and being responsible for the infamous Santiago conspiracy theory thing.
* Sonic CD (16-bit, UNI, 2011) - Better than the original, as Tails is there and you can select the soundtrack by yourself.
* Sonic 4 (32-bit, PC, 2011-2012) - Terrible.
* Sonic Colors (32-bit, PC, 2012) - Good.
* Sonic.exe (16-bit, PC, 2012) - Average. Way too dark.
* Sonic 1 (16-bit, IOS, 2013) - Better than the original, as Tails and the spindash are there.
* Sonic 2 (16-bit, IOS, 2013) - THE MOST AWESOME GAME IN THE SERIES, IT'S DA BEST!!! Tails, the spindash and others! Better than the original, because of Hidden Palace.
* Mario and Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games (32-bit, PC, 2014) - The second best Mario and Sonic game, good.
* Sonic Mania (32-bit, PC + SWITCH, 2017) - Good, it's really close to being the best Sonic game ever made, only a little bit worse than Sonic 2 and its iPhone remaster. One of the best Sonic games ever made.
* Sonic Forces (32-bit, MOB, 2017) - Terrible, Sonic is too slow though he is intended to be fast.
* Sonic Mania Plus (32-bit, PC + SWITCH, 2018) - A little bit better than Sonic Mania, but still worse than Sonic 2 and its iPhone remaster.
* Mario and Sonic at the Summer 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games (hybrid, PC, 2020) - The best Mario and Sonic game, good.
* Sonic Omens (64-bit, PC, 2022) - Terrible, because Shadow is racist.
* Sonic Origins (hybrid, PC + SWITCH, 2022) - Average, it will become good if you take Sonic 3 and Knuckles away from it.
