#140 Sonic & Knuckles (Genesis)
Ill list S&K and Sonic 3 as two different games because they ARE two different games. Even though the levels were a step down from Sonic 3, the fact that you can play as Knuckles made up for it. Gameplay with Knuckles is quite different and harder from my perspective. However the storyline didnt really have that much variation (except at the beginning and the end). The Sonic series on the Genesis were always a big part of my childhood and this game was definitely a part of it.
#139 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis)
I dont see how Sonic 2 is leagues above the rest of the series as many fans claim it to be. In all honesty Sonic 2 was an improvement over the first (especially the bonus levels, thank god!) but is more or less the same game. The levels are definitely more interesting than the first and boss battles are decent for once. Sonic 2 may be overrated and all but for me its just the second best game from a series I adored in the past.
