About Sonic Speed Simulator:
There’s a couple of disappointing things like No Knuckles in Sonic CD and Classic Mode still having stuff like spin dash in Sonic 1 and Hidden Palace in Sonic 2 (stuff not in the original classic versions of those games) but overall this is definitely the best way to play these games as a non-hardcore sonic fan. Retrying special stages and having infinite lives are HUGE improvements for new players or people who’ve never beaten all the special stages before. Being able to get Super Sonic without stressing out over having to win the special stage on the first try is really nice and adds a lot of fun to the game that I couldn’t have in other releases of the game without sinking hours of time in to memorize the special stages. I highly recommend this to people who haven’t played these games before. if you have many times and are experts at these games the only reason to buy this would be if you want to try out mission or mirror modes (which i personally enjoyed so maybe that’s worth $40 for you) Now based on other merits, I’d say this includes a lot despite many people would probably never take the time to view, listen, or watch. Things like adding mission modes that don’t feel overly repetitive, pretty much infinite retries (with the cost of coins) on special stages to be able to try out Super and Hyper Sonic after getting the chaos emeralds, awesome animations, and love shown for a beloved character of many childhoods are quite frankly reasons to buy the game. They’re older titles and with nostalgia glasses they’re really good games.
