The Sonic Advance trilogy has the best in-game 2D animations of the series, I think.
Where can I find the GIFs? Been trying to find Cream's GIFs from Advance 2 but no luck

I'd love that. And I'd love to listen to the remastered soundtracks of Sonic Advance 1~3.

Advance 1-3 and Battle, definitely.

I completely forgot Dimps was mostly ex-Capcom/SNK guys. Makes sense that they'd be god tier at sprite work.
Makes it even more of a waste that Sonic 4 used ugly ass prerendered art.

I still think it's a shame there hasn't been a proper handheld Sonic in a while (i.e. an original title that isn't based on or tied into an accompanying home console game). Weren't the last two Rush Adventure and Rivals 2?
The Advance series was so good. Those sprites still hold up well, such good memories!

There's been Sonic Dash, Dash 2, and Runners.
Sprite talk?
Sonic Battle has the best sprite work period. I love Chaos 0 animations

I'm so sad that sprites are more or less dead for the sanic franchise
Imagine a 2D platformer that looked like Battle. Or better?
only animations that have come close to the charm of sprite based sanic is from generations:

Yeah man I agree. I don't think we'll get that back ever, even with the sterile yet servicable mobile games.
I am also partial to the sprites from these:
I think it was a Sonic Screensaver? I never had it but when I saw these back on some other fan sites I loved them immediately lol.

Mostly because it came bundled with S&K Collection on PC, which I only own because Dad, on a business trip to America during my family's three-year stay in England, misinterpreted my request to get Sonic 3D for the Genesis while he was over there as "Sonic 3". I can't say as I'm complaining, even though I already had the Genesis versions of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, it was still a pretty good port.

We both. He used to be so cute, now he looks weird.
Wow I actually used to have the S&K Collection several years ago as a kid. I played through it constantly and thought it was great until I learned what MIDI was...I do remember the back of the jewel case talking about a screensaver but 11 year old me had no idea how to work that.
I actually have no problem with his model in Unleashed/Colors/Generations/Lost World. It's Boom Sonic that is disgusting in all aspects lol.
I too bought the S&K Collection with screensaver back in the day. It still runs fine (the game that is, I don't know about the screensaver). Did you know that there's a way now to play the game with the original Genesis music (no MIDI), and customize all tracks?
Same here.
Incidentally, I just played a bit of Lost World for the first time ever. Not bad so far.

Damn, Im kinda jelly
I have fond memories playing through the S&K Collection with my friend back in the day. And memories of being terrified of Sonic CD bad futures. And that boss music.
Wow, that's really cool

I had S&K Collection in a triple pack that came with Sonic R and Sonic CD. Good times.
Had that same one. And I think there was one with 3D Blast that I wanted, but I ended up getting that through Wild Tangent
Fucking Wild Tangent, man. Shit had Rollercoaster Tycoon and Polar Bowler. Good lord.
Shadow Hog

Only thing I remember about WildTangent was that they had this level editor that I spent hours with, despite not having a single game that actually used it.
Honestly, I think I was more prolific with that thing than I am some level editors for actual games. (Except Doom. I'm far more prolific with DoomBuilder than practically anything else.)

:O Really?
Now I wish I hadn't given it to an old friend of mine, I never got it back.
Same. I still listen to Sonic: ATS' Soundtrack regularly. It's so good.

I see gifs from this screensaver around the internet from time to time. Mainly this one:
It's a nice art style for Sonic and I really like the way he looks, the animation itself could be a little smoother though but it's a screensaver so I can't complain.

I love the animations of the Advance series so much, they did such an amazing job with them and it actually makes me want to play through the series again haha, they were all really solid titles.
Same here, I hear tons of praise about these two games and I haven't even gotten around to playing either one. Which is kind of sad, because I love Sonic 2 and it would be so cool to have some headcanon to squeeze in between and after it. I just need to actually get to downloading and playing it.
If we're talking about good Sonic animation, the cutscenes for Sonic CD were incredible and I never get sick of watching them. Maybe they aren't in-game animations, but I feel like cutscenes is another strong suit for Sonic (The intro for Unleashed too, aww yes)

That's what I love about Classic Sonic in Generations. He's like the perfect, 3D model realization of Sonic CD cutscene Sonic.
bring him baaaaaaaaaaack

I remember that Classic Sonic is going to be used as a part of the celebration for the 25th anniversary, so it's completely possible for him to come back.

Seriously, even Sonic fan games have great soundtracks.
"No Longer Alone" is my absolute favorite. It is the song I think of when I'm infiltrating airships in any game.

I dunno, he seemed a bit chubbier than CD Sonic did to me.

Too long out of action devouring chilli dogs, it makes sense.
Yeah, S&K Collection has its music neatly packaged in a single DLL (midiout.dll), and some people have written replacements for that.
Seven Force

Oh wow, that's neat.
Dunno why I'd ever go back to S&K Collection, but if I did, I'd probably keep the music intact since I'm one of those crazy guys that actually prefers the PC version Ice Cap music.

As much as I love BTS (ehehehehehe) you have to be somewhat of a diehard fan to make it past the first few zones. The level design for those are okay, but a little off-kilter compared to the classic trilogy. Especially when compared to ATS or Chrono Adventure, despite Chrono Adventure not actually following the usual zone/act format.

Lost World Mods are moving along at a swift step, primarily because it's a tweaked Hedgehog Engine. I thought this was was pretty clever, swapping out the Tornado for Metal Sonic's car, it looks great in the stage.
