Sonic Mania: Sonic Cycle?
It’s been a long time since a Sonic game interested me. After the disappointment of Sonic Generations – the most recent that got my hopes up for a return to past glories – and the massive mis-steps of Sonic Lost World and the Sonic Boom games (yes, they made more than one, somehow), he was dead. But there exists the Sonic Cycle. It hasn’t applied in a while, because it requires a decent looking preview of an upcoming Sonic title …

3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (3DS): COMPLETED!
Twenty-odd years ago, many a Saturday morning would be spent playing Sonic. Or Sonic 2. Or Sonic 3. And today, a Saturday, I played and completed 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Nintendo 3DS. It was awesome. Like Gunstar Heroes and the first 3D Sonic the Hedgehog, the 3D here is mostly subtle. The original parallax layers are now given actual depth, and although this makes it feel more like a pop-up diorama than properly 3D it still makes …
3D Sonic the Hedgehog (3DS): COMPLETED!
Um, yeah. So I now own 12 (different) copies of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. And that doesn’t even include the Master System and Game Gear versions – just the Megadrive one, and it’s ports. This is the only one in 3D though. OK, so it’s not “as 3D” as 3D Space Harrier. This is a gentler, more incidental 3D, with all the layers of fore- and background parallax now on their own 3D plane. You know what? It …
Sonic 3 & Knuckles speed run
I found this video recently, which I watched in disbelief. The number of times I’ve played this game. The hours put in. And yet, I never stumbled across any of the massive game breaking bugs exploited here to get such an incredibly quick completion time. I think I’d struggle to do just Sonic 3 in 45 minutes, let alone Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Mind you, I’d struggle to contain my lunch if I was forced to play as Tails…
Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed (Wii U)
I decided I would push on with replaying all the events on 2 or 3 star. This consisted mainly of me playing events on 3 star, failing $hlmun times, then having to play it on 2 star (failing not quite as many times), before repeating the sequence on another event. And doing this lots. Net gain? I now have 68 stars. I need 95 to get onto the next tier in the World Tour. Thankfully, I can see I’ll open …
