The game that started it all
This is the first of Sonic’s many adventures, and it’s a pretty good one, well, the original is good, this port is legendary! It adds two new characters, a savable game, the spindash, and more in this revamped adventure that started it all! It’s still sonic one, and it’s not the best sonic game, that title belongs to sonic mania. Some of the problems include: marble zone is very slow place and only has one route, spring yard zone has bummpers, labyrinth zone is, well, labyrinth zone, and the bombs in starlight zone are a bit annoying, and scrap brain zone has the worst music in the game. But it’s still sonic one, so its still a great game, some of the upsides are: green hill is huge and has many routes making it a great starting level, spring yard has bummpers, Labrinth zone in starlight zone have great music, and scrap brain is a pretty cool zone, I would recommend buying this, my only real complaint is the ads, but if you are willing to spend 99 cents, it’s not a problem at all! Would recommend buying!

Time Attack Bug
So, ever since the new update, The time attack mode has been acting wonky. I ended up deleting my game, which is fine, then redownloading and THAT didn’t fix it. Here is the bug. Each Zone in time attack displays two levels which messes with EVERYTHING. Here is an example. Green Hill in Time Attack displays ONLY acts 1 and 2. But then, the problems arise. Marble Zone in Time Attack displays Green Hill Act 3 and Marble Act 1, see the problem? This means Spring Yard in Time Attack displays acts 2 and 3 of MARBLE Zone. Then Labyrinth in Time Attack displays the first two acts of SPRING YARD, Starlight in Time Attack displays Act 3 of Spring Yard and Act 1 of Labyrinth, Scrap Brain then displays The next 2 acts of Labyrinth. Final zone displays the first two acts of Starlight, and the special stage displays Act 3 of starlight and Act 1 of Scrap Brain. Meaning I can’t even access Scrap Brains Act 2 and 3, Final, or the Special stages in Time Attack, so please fix this! This game is amazing and I’d hate to see this bug ruin it!
