Ever have those moments when you are playing a Sonic game and you do something so stupid (in the game), you can hardly believe you just did it?
Yeah, I know I have. On SA2, when I reached Death Chamber, I was stuck on the level for a week, looking for a way to escape from the red room. Of course, I needed those hammer gloves, but I was a bit too stupid to find them at that time. :P (No, I couldn't pull up a FAQ since I had no internet then)

My major lack was Big, I spent AGES trying to get the A-levels with him...and eventually discovered that I was short by several upgrades- I'd only gotten the original lure upgrade, not the other lure or the improved rod.. Apparently I was extremely lucky to have gotten the B-levels with the equipment I was using. Then again, I am still nowhere near getting that last mission where Tails has to capture the flags on the ski slope. I think I got 5 once. :( That's been the only thing left in SADX for nearly two years now.

haha!
In SA2 it was figuring out how to get across to the next platform on Crazy Gadget where you do the homing attack on three enemies before using the light dash and I didn't see the rings there. I just happened to figure it out because I saw the icon on the screen that tells you to do the light dash.

HOLD IT! Possibly he means he still keeps on trying to defeat the Metal Overlord even though he has only 1 ring left, that isn't really that dumb, it's called not giving up until the very end which is a pretty smart thing to do.

I agree 101%! When I'm losing a fight, I always say "Maybe I'll lose... but it won't be because I gave up!"

Ah, the color-gravity room. Took me quite a while to figure out that I had to bounce band while on the green block the first time. I felt incredibly stupid after trying everything else (only to find death, multiple times)

That place was cool. I got through it on my first try. But I wish you didn't  need to stop and press "B" near the switch. I wish you could just run into the switches, like in Shadow the Hedgehog.

Pressing B wasn't a problem. It wasn't like in SA where if you accidently tap B in the wrong place you go blasting off in a spin dash at light speed. The sommersault wasn't going to take you to your death.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the spin-dash in SA because of it's crazy speed. It was just a smidgen hard to control and led to a lot of deaths, but some sacrifices must be made to obtain that elusive best time.

No, if you press "B" in SA, Sonic only spins off a little. If you hold "B" down, then release it, you will spin away more quickly. But there aren't any "Press B" switches in SA, so that SA complaint isn't valid.

And my complaint about SA2's gravity switches is the fact that it makes the gameplay slower than it already is.:?
For some reason, it bugs me. Probably because I actually need to let go of the control stick during gameplay. And I don't like doing that in Sonic games. Also, (on SA2) I hate it when I am grinding and get off of the rail, but immediately do a sommersault when I hit the ground. (I don't even like sommersault to begin with because it is a slow attack for Sonic)

If it was an old Sonic game, you can only get like... 20 back. (about)

But in Sonic Rush, you can get 50 back.

Well, luckily enough it was a line of rings in Pyramid Cave that lead you through three big rings and to get bonus points. So I didn't die, but I did lose out on the bonus points.

When I was playing sonic 3 for the genesis (Yeah, I know, I'm old school) I was running through the first level.  I can't remember what enemy it was, but I ran straight into it due to carelessness, so I ran back collecting rings I missed to bolster my ring count again, only to run into the stupid thing a second time!  You'd think that I would at least kill the thing before running back...

Well, the extra emblems are a pain. But for me, Big's normal adventure is pretty easy. It's just a little quirky.
