Yeah, that's the one that comes to mind when I think of that battle theme. Wasn't 'til I just listened to the Daytime one that I realized "Oh, I have heard this one."
Hey now, there's some great games in that collection! (Shinobi III, Streets of Rage 2, Phantasy Star IV...) Though the emulation is shitty, so yeah...
Gen 2 did a lot of good stuff for the series' systems, but Johto's boring, Kanto's dead, and the music can't save either of them.
He's funny enough, his writing just tended to fall apart when it had to come up with some sort of moral. So as long as Sonic Sez isn't back.
Wonder what other creative staff are in on this.
It's a great collection of games, but it's hard to suggest it for Sonic when they couldn't be arsed to make lock-on work in any form or fashion.

As someone who likes to speedrun Sonic 2 every now and then, I am sorely disappointed.
That's true. Emulation is less than desired.
But still, great games on that collection. It's super-cheap, too.

He just wanted Sonic 3.
Still, I hope we get something like Sonic 3 Complete on consoles/handhelds one day. It's a fine revision to the game that I'd love to see elsewhere.
See, it's less me thinking that the games are poop and more than there's something about the way Genesis games run that kinda rubs me the wrong way. There's only been a handful of genesis stuff that I can look at favorably, sonic included.
...That and I don't feel compelled to buy a collection of 48 games, of which the ones I'm interested in I've already played and beaten on individual versions. Though I'm reminded that I should get back to the Phantasy Star collection one of these days, PS1 was fun.
Sonic 3, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, whatever you wanna call the whole thing.
True story: My bro and I are playing DKC2 right now and I already know that when we reach Toxic Tower we will both agree to tell everyone we just beat the game. It's what we tend to do.

And I had gone as far to withhold myself from saying the very same things (well minus slamming the music) to just let you carry on your merry way.
Though I don't actually dislike the game at all, I do like it, I just don't view it as the poke pinnacle it's often viewed as.
The Sega Mega Drive ultimate collection has aided me well, in particular I played Ristar (disappointing but the concept was good on paper at least) and Shinobi 3 (freaking sweet) through it last year.
In fact it's my main way of playing Sonic 1 and 2.
Then of course there's a load of crud like Gain ground on it but it's all in good fun.
People really freak out over Toxic Tower? I always found Windy Well to be that much more annoying, then again old Owl has a love for stages that make you race against death*.
*except the literal race or die event of Screech's Sprint, now that i'd understand.

Well, now you've just spilled your secret and we'll inevitably know that you're lying.
Now that's reasonable. They really don't run as well as they should, and it's unfortunate. But that Phantasy Star Collection is excellent. Get back to it, because Sega added a bunch of stuff that alleviates pacing issues in those games. Probably one of the better collections they've released.
I'd honestly recommend getting that collection over the Genesis Collection since the games in the Genesis Collection don't have those additions which can make them feel weird.
You know, now that I think about it, I think the Genesis Collection was probably my first platinum trophy? Oh dear.

I'm just glad to have DKC2 over with. Kind of soured me on ever trying any of the DKC games ever again, though.
That said, I've knocked out about 5 games in my backlog this weeks. Feels good to actually finish games these days, heh.

I don't really think that's a problem so much as the very beginning of toxic tower, were it's really easy to fuck things up with rattly and set yourself up for unavoidable death since you can't climb up anymore. It's different from say, Ripsaw Rage in DKC3 where it's designed in a way that you can recover if you're quick enough after making a mistake.
GameFreak took nearly four years to make the game and came up with a boring-ass overworld.
You want a Gen 3 love-in, we'll talk.
No, I like the music. Well, the series' music in general. Most of the route and town themes blend into a single generally cheerful memory in my head, though.
That godawful snake controls so poorly that its more of a fight against the game's physics than a race for your life. I don't like ANY of the animal friends in DKC2 aside from Engarde, and I only like him because he alleviates how awful water levels are.
Worst animal friend though will forever be that fucking elephant.

I ordered that CIB copy of DKC3, btw.
~$25. Not bad, because it's usually worth around $40.
Thanks to Shadow Hog for teaching me where to look for video game prices.

I was going to say the one part that's tricky is the string of zingers where you bounce up three to the right wall and have to quickly bounce across another 3 to the right.
Side note: first time I saw that ripsaw I shat bricks, that's one hell of a way to start off a stage.
That Elephant has one of the best levels in 3, why does no one else like Bobbing Barrel Brawl as much as I do? granted the one in the mill with the elephant is shockingly shitty.
I knew you'd come around eventually!
since you don't like any of the others it's pretty much guaranteed that you will hate this game

All the elephant stages in DKC3 can blow, including that boss fight. Bring back Rambi ;(

But Rambi is back, in fact he's the only one that's back!
Blue Squawks is the actual worst animal buddy, he shames his entire existence by lacking the ability to fly in 2 and then in 3 he exists to be like a more limited aerial version of Ellie.
And they still managed to make the worst region ever

Helper Squawks doesn't count no matter how many puzzle pieces he dredges up.
Back to Pokeymen, The layout may suck but what's actually in the Unova region makes Johto look small time.

Hey what's going on, gu-

I personally found Unova a bland region. The only interesting things were all eye-candy but even then they screw that up (the big city looked ugly).

Poor Sega1991.
Tone of Colours' cutscenes applied to an episodic format. Weekly hijinx with Sonic and the gang!
Hopefully with less fourth-wall breaking

Sigh.
But since I have these...
...I should probably complete the trilogy.
Bean tells me that it's more gimmick-focused and that's why he likes it. Haha. That's pretty much a direct guarantee that I won't like it.
