Sonic The Hedgehog
It is my contention that Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is the perfect video game and has no competition. It is the speed, the feeling of freedom and great music that makes this game what it is.
What it is, holmes.
Eggman/Robotnik is this pussy bitch boss and after every 2 levels you need to defeat one of his deadly machines that he is operating.
You have the help of Tails… who is actually no help at all. A 2nd player can choose to play as Tails but they will be left behind most of the time and waiting to land. They never land because when Sonic jumps, Tail gets pushed upwards.
The levels range from grassy sunny outdoors to a giant metropolis. The levels do get progressively longer and more difficult. It is just the right amount of challenging.
If you complete a level quickly enough AND collect enough rings, you will earn yourself a Continue at the end of the stage. If you die three times you can simply use a Continue and continue where you left off.
At the end of the game you are sent to “Egg Zone” and you must defeat “Metal Sonic” with no rings to spare. Rings keep Sonic alive - they act as a shield; with no rings, you will die in one hit. So you must defeat Metal Sonic without getting hit. It takes some practice to learn how to defeat him but not TOO much practice.
After Metal Sonic you have to face Eggman/Robotnik in his ultimate machine. Which is just a giant robot that looks like him - he sits in the head part. If you play carefully, you can beat him in about seven minutes. It is possible to beat him a lot faster but it is riskier.
There is a VS option in which 1st and 2nd player race to the end of a level. This caused some conflict between me and my brother growing up.
There are also bonus levels where you can earn a “Chaos Emerald”. If you have 50 rings, all you have to do is reach one of the checkpoint nodes and jump three times on the spot and you get transported to a half-pipe which you are running through automatically and you must avoid enemies and collect enough rings to reach the next checkpoint and if you reach all the coin goals you will get a Chaos Emerald. There are seven chaos emeralds in total and they are worth a lot of points.

An excellent game indeed.
Dunno if it has to do with the time in my life in which I played it, but I also find it to be one of the trippier games out there.

I disagree with the "tails is useless" idea. I played this game and its sequel with my brother when I was a child and he would play Sonic and I would be Tails. Tails ain't no bitch, bro. Once tails has landed he can get hit but he never dies, and if he falls off the map he just comes back. If you have a sonic who knows how to evade and a tails who knows how to fuck a bitch up, the more challenging bossfights can be a little easier and more accessible for kids. The only problem was that when you damage a boss they become invulnerable for a second, preventing Tails and Sonic from DOUBLE TEAMING that motherfucker.
