The Top 9 Sonic Characters that Need to Retire

BT: Now, I’m excited as hell for Sonic Generations, which, at the time of this list’s posting, will be hitting store shelves very soon. And since that game is all about Sonic going back to his roots and remembering his past, I shall do the same by presenting you all with the complete antithesis of that early list. We’re looking at nine characters from the Sonic series that I wish would just go away. Far away. Really far away. But instead, these characters keep popping up in almost every game released! Why, Sega? WHY?!

I like how the picture says top 10 Sonic characters, but then the title says top 9, all I see is lies. I went through the list and came upon #5 Silver the Hedgehog and stopped. I have no idea who Silver the Hedgehog is and I have never heard of him lol

Any character who wasnt in the first 3 sonic games should all be killed in a horrific car crash, save for Metal Sonic.

only metal and knuckles shall remain i dont mind shadow just caught all the bullcrap with the guns and bikes ( why does the fastest being alive need a bike anyway?)

The 7 Best Sonic the Hedgehog Games: Racing through Time

Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?

Rebel_Scum99d ago

Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.

Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.

Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Snookies1299d ago

Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.

Profchaos99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.

Mania was 5 hours roughly

However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short

Profchaos99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones

Rebel_Scum98d ago

Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.

Profchaos99d ago

Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2

Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭

Chocoburger97d ago

Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.

we need a new sonic pinball, with boss battles / hidden stages / 1 sec load times

Snookies12190d ago

Definitely agreed. I loved Sonic Spinball back on Genesis. I want a new Mean Bean Machine too, while we're at it!

Snookies12190d ago

Still need to check out Frontiers at some point. Just waiting on a really good Steam sale for it.

I didn't realise it was that popular.
