The sense of discovery during those times playing these awesome games... pure and raw wonder during simpler, less complicated times. The wide, expanding feeling of real wonder and feeling the rush of life while we were more free... I'm 31 now, and I'll still remember this game even when I'm 61 or 91; such precious childhood memories stay in the golden archives of my brain. Bless you all dear sonic fans.

"The open sky, is blue forever. No matter how bad things get, the beautiful blue sky will always be there." That's truly a beautiful quote, no joke. Thanks for being you Liam Triforce.

Ah yes... The only classic Sonic special stages I was good at as a kid.

Damn, nothing like listening to some classic bangers, man 😄 These early game soundtracks got me into making music myself, back in the day. Need to do that again, me thinks

To this day, it's quite possibly the best Sonic game ever. Edit: My opinions changed since I made this comment. I think Adventure 2 is actually the best Sonic game now.

I remember buying the sonic mega collection, it was so random. I remember being at a CVS on mother's day looking for a gift for her, but also saw it for 20 bucks and grabbed that along with flowers 😭 that was a fun day

25 years later and I still think S3&K has one of the best final boss music ever made.

One really interesting quote I heard once is that "the first time you play a sonic level will be the worst time." Because you're just seeing the level for the first time, and Sonic is ALL ABOUT replayablity and getting better and better. It's REWARDING to go back and BREEZE through the level and find secrets and get that higher ring count. Sonic is one of those rare games that are better on replay.

1. Get a custom speed add-on for your browser 2. Speed up the video on each loop 3. Have fun (or be scared shitless as your childhood anxiety comes back to haunt you)

Flying Battery Zones Act 1 & 2 have absolutely no business being as good as they are. Definitely one of the best tracks from Sonic period.

My household never owned a Nintendo console back when I was young, me and my brothers had a Mega Drive, Sonic 1+2 (with 3 and Sonic and Knuckles down the line) and a compilation cart with Streets of Rage and Columns on it. I absolutely adored how crunchy and grungy the Mega Drive's sound chip was and Chemical Plant Zone's music will always live rent-free in my subconsious. It was only till the Gamecube that we got a Nintendo console in the house, but Sega always wormed itself back into my life with SA2 Battle and Super Monkey Ball taking up my play time. Now, I look back to those days while playing Yakuza and Sonic Mania. Once a Sega kid, always a Sega kid.

This is one of best nostalgic music and reminds me that I was absorbed in this game in my childhood.

Ice Cap Zone Act 1 and Lava Reef Zone Act 1 are certified bangers to this day.

That was such a heart warming video, I usually NEVER post coments, but I've discovered video games with Sonic, and the classic era have been sticking with me for like 15 years. I had forgot how good they were and the impact they had on me, but this reminded me all of this, and now it makes me want to play Sonic 3 again, still one of the best games ever for me. Thank you so much for doing such a video!

Am I the only one who thought if Sonic must collect blue balls, then Knuckles should collect the red at the first time playing this game? Lol

Oh, man, when you fell into the pit at the end of the Sonic 2 section I nearly choked on my drink! I had no idea this was a thing, so cool! Chris Whitehead is a beast! Sonic was my childhood, I got Sonic 2 for my birthday in January 1993.

When I was a kid at the store and my mom asks me to go get something quick while we're still in line at the register

I remember one could rent the whole Sega console and this game from the local video store when I was around 8 years old, in 1998, so ofc we did, more than once. The music gives me the almost supernatural feeling of nostalgia!! Thank you so much for the upload :')

Nearly 30 years later and this game is my top 5 of all time.

My first time in the Eggman final boss in Sonic 2, I just kept on persevering through all the deaths until I finally hit Eggman enough times. Probably the most satisfying ending ever, especially since it doesn't use any dialogue.
