Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 356211, member: 6930"] I think it was a way to make the game engaging when 3D was coming. Even Yoshi's Island had to offer a lot of things to make it stands out. I'd also say that Mario Bros 3, being a late NES game, also had to justify staying on the ageing 8-bits. Sonic 3&K still manages to offer a big adventure in 2D, something even modern Sonic games struggle to properly do. Oil Ocean was fine but below some of the levels from the first third imo. Mania vastly improved it. I could give the remake that but it doesn't fully excuse the pit though. I'd even dare saying to direct the future of Sonic as a whole since Evening Star had made their debut game a 3D platformer. Iizuka should step down from being a game director or at least only being a consultant. I'd also hope the next game won't make empty and boring looking Open Zones or overly rely on nostalgia with making yet another level with Generations' assets. Finally no need to have alternative gameplay styles, just making boost levels should suffice. [/QUOTE]
