Sonic is the 16bit generations Assassin's Creed. For the most part, a lot of the sections of the game will be on auto pilot and then some sections of the game the player actually has to put forth their own skill. I don't like the Sonic series and except for the very rare level, the games just suck. Being a mascot is the only reason Sonic is as well known as he is because it's certainly not because the games were good.

As has already been said, quantity over quality. This is sadly something representative of the Sega Genesis itself. Huge lack of quality overall. There's some hit games here and there, but too much of the content on Sega Genesis is pretty mediocre.
