Self-explanatory.
This is in the "talk about anything else" category because of the strong anti-Sonic sentiment that some people have >_>
Share your best/worst Sonic memories!

I once played a Sonic game. There was green fields everywhere, and I was speeding along like there was no tomorrow. The music was chill in the background and I could almost FEEL the wind blowing through Sonic's blue hair-stuff as he raced along in his super cool shoes.
Then tragedy hit.
Sonic ran into something. It was such a blur I can't remember what it was to this day. But out of Sonic came an explosion of gold rings. Rings I don't know where he was storing, but he was indeed storing a lot of them. Then before Sonic could gather those rings back, something else hit him, and he died.
I turned the game off, never to play a Sonic game again.
RIP.

My first sonic game was when I was 7 and the after school care I went to had a Mega Drive (this was the early 2000's, it wasn't a very good after school care)
I've never found the game I played since I've never seen anyone mention it before, but the second world had Sonic on a hang glider which handled differently in every stage. I used to play a game of "how many points could I get before I got to the hang glider level, where I'd definitely lose all my lives"

I played the Mega Drive games and watched the cartoons as a kid, but I wasn't overly attached to Sonic himself. That changed when I went out to buy Star Fox Adventures and happened by Sonic Adventure 2. It was on sale and had neat artwork, so I bit.
Played Star Fox first and got bummed out by my unreasonable expectations. Swapped it for the game I knew almost nothing about and the rest is history. "Rolling around at the speed of sound" was instantly etched into my brain, alongside the sight of a skateboarding blue hedgehog wearing Soap-branded shoes and toppling cars to avoid the military. When I discovered you could raise a virtual pet between each level, I milked that disk to death.
SA2 is why I've purchased nearly every Sonic game before and since. It's also why I find merit in a series plagued by constant glitches, awful camera angles, and strange gimmicks. I appreciate them all on some level, whether they're masterpieces (Sonic Mania), flawed yet novel (Shadow the Hedgehog), or perverse suffering (Sonic '06).
