Sonic 06 is far from even being the 2nd worst Sonic game... Sonic 3D blast, Sonic Genesis, Shadow the Hedgehog, OG Sonic Racing all 💩... As usual WatchMojo is trash!
Sonic 06 only failed because of Sonic's terrible story and the fact that they are literally figuring the DEVIL! Memphlis, in Greek; Iblis, for the Arabs; Solaris, for everyone and anyone else...
From a story perspective Sonic 06 is damnable...
Sonic Forces is not that bad, it was just disapointed. Its better then Sonic 06 right?
@@gravityfallscanada sonic 06 and shadow the hedgehog are not good, the games are a mess.
@@mattiasolsson1523
It's better than 06 for sure, but way less ambitious and had with the hype it was riding on made it an eve bigger disappointment... You never bring the all strongest characters in the same game (Sonic, Shadow, Sliver) if its not world ending...
The fact that we are questioning these 2 games is bad...
This list is dumb, there was no reason to include team sonic racing among other ones, the game is considered good, especially in co-op.
And if you're going to include "sonic adventure hd" version, y not include sonic unleashed mobile version?
Sonic movie 2020: *Comes out*
Watchmojo: the truth about sonic 06 failure
Sonic movie 2: *Comes out*
Also watch Mojo: top 20 worst sonic games.
EXACTLY
Sonic Forces: Comes out
WatchMojo: Top Ten Worst Sonic Games
Sonic Movie: Comes Out
WatchMojo: Reasons Why the Movie is Trash oh wait the movie is popular quick we need to set out a video where we talk about the great things and the great references of the movie
Sonic Movie 2: Comes Out
WatchMojo: Let's not mess up this time like we did with the last one here's a top ten greatest references in Sonic Movie 2. Okay good now that we got that out of the way let's remind everyone why Sonic is such a lousy franchise here let's put out a top 20 Worst Sonic games that will do the trick.
Bullshit, WatchMojo, absolute bullshit get your act together seriously and leave Sonic and his franchise well enough alone for once. :(
@@andreasmeelie1889 this comment section needs more likes and comments I 100 percent agree
That's Exactly what I'm saying
I wonder what they are going to do for Sonic 3 ?
As a Sonic fan, I hate the fact there is enough bad games to make a top 20 list.
Don't feel too bad every franchise has 20 bad games heck even Mario. Lol:)
Some of these is not that bad.
Same
@@andreasmeelie1889 mario don't have 20 bad games.
@@mattiasolsson1523 agreed, I honestly enjoyed Sonic Forces
What, I can't believe Team Sonic Racing would be on the list. I actually liked that game.
Right I liked that game too
At least it’s only #20
Same
It kinda sucked, the thing is it could’ve been better
@@DarkHellFire Could it be better?Yes. But I still had fun with it none the less.
Wow, they finally respect Sonic Unleashed.
Which I can appreciate
strange isn't it?
Mission accomplished Unleashed fans. We made it.
@@dustydd really!
👍 yeah
Sonic: *is doing well*
The most boring 40 year olds alive: “sonic was a huge hit in the 90s but since then the blue blur has struggled to pee pee poo poo”
Now that i think about it sonic never shit or pees how is he still alive?
@Chuck Buskee Eminem then?
@chuckbuskeemfExcept this year he did, all time high I’d say
Most sane sonic fan:
Excuse me?! TSR was not a bad game! The team mechanic was fun and the only drawback I found in the game was a lack of an online community
I think it was just the reused content from all stars and transformed
I mean the game doesn't hold up in the long run. The main campaign is too short and no one is playing it online anymore. You get much more out of playing All Stars Transformed and that was on a previous console
It was like a competitor for Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled.
@@firedupplayers true at the time I literally flipped a coin if I was going to get sonic or crash, the release was that close.
I think if they added dlc to str like more tracks or 2 more teams to choose from it would had a better run.
One bad thing about the game is how it only got sonic characters. Other than that it’s a alright game.
I’m glad sonic unleashed wasn’t on the list this time. That game deserves ❤️ love. I did give up on most of these games though such forces and r.
Yeah. Although Sonic Unleashed's story was AWFUL. The gameplay and graphics are great, but the story ruins it.
@@m.lanzoni9306 nah the werehig’s slow gameplay was what ruined it the combat for werehig was epic tho and the day time stages were amazing
You didn't play the Wii version though. If you played that y9u would see a difference.
@@m.lanzoni9306 How was the story awful??
@@m.lanzoni9306 excuse me the story is the best😒😒😒
I think Sonic 3D Blast was okay. I liked Shadow the Hedgehog.
But have you found that damn 4th Chaos Emerald.
I actually really liked Sonic and she Black Knight. I thought it was challenging and interesting, plus it had one of the best soundtracks of any Sonic game, including the second best theme song, “Knight of the Wind”
What's number one? If you say 'All of Me' you're correct.
@@carltonvonhammerstein no, I was actually going to say my number one is “Sonic Heroes” I’ve never even heard “All of Me”
As a dedicated and loyal fan of Sonic, this list hurt my heart with half of the games that were put here when other ones deserve it more like the GameGear ones for example.
I would agree, especially sense it was a top 20, it made me feel bad for Sonic
That's their ammo; they want the views, money, and people to be upset (or sometimes agree with them) just to get people talking. Sonic The Fighters is my favorite fighting game for example, most people would consider it bad or average, but it can actually get pretty deep in terms of mechanics and style. I could see maybe 10, but 20 or even 15, is really pushing it. Sonic Labyrinth deserves to be on here more, along with Tails' Skypatrol for various reasons.
Just for reference and as a huge Sega Hard Girls fan, that's “Game Gear” OP.
@@JayboCorp.2014 agreed, I would say that this video was too repetitive
Really only 3 were even good
Sonic 1
Tails adventure
And sonic triple trouble
Taking advantage of the Sonic 2 movie’s success in order to rack up SEO with relevant terms in order to continue the negative conversation around the franchise is sort of a weird move.
Preach sister!
WE WILL BRING THEM DOWN
at this point sega should know by now not to listen to these critics time and time again they shown they do not get the appeal of this franchises and there never gonna be please even if they do like one of the games they still feel the need to go on and on about how bad 06 is or how sonic had it rough since he went into 3d.
sega nothing you do will ever please them no matter how many times you listen to them they'll never be satisfied so if you what sonic to have a good future stop caring about what the critics think and just listen to the fans after all there the ones buying the games and supporting the series why try to please people who clearly hate the series.
That's watchmojo for you, they could care less about if a franchise is succeeding or failing; just that they get people to be upset, or agree with them, and talk, watch ads, get views, ect.
@@jdawson7877: Yo J; you realize SEGA listens to fans, their support, input, and questions right? They also constantly poke fun at themselves, their mistakes, and successes. I don't believe you really know what type of company SEGA is.
Going to be honest, I genuinely enjoyed Shadow the Hedgehog. I liked seeing all the different paths and levels I could take, and I like the freedom the game gives you with missions and weapons, even if some of the paths you took didn’t make too much sense.
*EDIT*: Did they deliberately change the thumbnail after reading this? Because there was definitely a different thumbnail when I posted this.
*EDIT 2*: Okay, seriously Watchmojo, stop flip-flopping between thumbnails.
Yes I agree the game has unique mechanics and a good story I don't even know why they post videos of sonic like this
Because Sonic’s “fans” for some reason like to spend a lot of time taking the mickey out of his low points rather than celebrating his high points.
I agree. I had fun with the hero or villain mechanic and seeing which level you unlocked based on what you did. Plus the soundtrack is still one of my favorites in the series.
My only real gripe with the game was that there wasn't much to the two player mode, but it was a decent game overall.
Yeah. Two player is literally a once-and-done affair. The fact that TCRF reveals that there was apparently a race mode that was scrapped adds salt in the wound. Hopefully one day a good modder could add it back in.
Same
If you look closely, this video is 18:26 minutes long. This is a top 20 list, which means that these guys don’t even spend a minute explaining why each game is bad. Very nice of you watch mojo to try and get some views by posting this cheap video while the franchise is in its highest moments in years
LOL
I’m glad somebody pointed at out. This is literally Watchmojo doing what it does best.
When sonic is at his most positive point, someone has to come in and make a video like this. Thanks WatchMojo.
I was thinking the same exact thing!
I still remember when Sonic Forces first came out WatchMojo ironically and coincidentally made a top ten worst Sonic games list and when the first Sonic Movie came out they uploaded a video trashing the movie and talking about how bad it was but when everyone loved it they set out a video talking about how good it was and showing off the cool moments of the movie. I was like, "What the heck, WatchMojo?"
I give them credit for uploading a video talking about the Sonic references in Sonic Movie 2 but can't they do another video talking positively about Sonic and wait a while to talk negatively about him rather than do what they always do which is endlessly trash on Sonic when he's up?
It's literally like Sonic is high up there and WatchMojo, meanwhile, is like,
"No Sonic doesn't deserve to be up there here we'll help bring him back down by reminding everyone why he's so bad so people aren't so blindsided to endlessly love this blue blur, you're welcome." Freaking unbelievable please WatchMojo for the love of God stop being so biased with unfair hate over Sonic I'm sick of it, ugh. :(
Gotta keep him humble
they really waited for another banger movie to make this video
this happens so often its not even funny anymore
I gotta agree when the said sonic the and the black knight I'm like heck no this game has a unique storyline and amazing music like knight of the wind

@@Shichism sonic forces was okay-ishh
@@Shichism Oh no, Sonic Shuffle is the worst, it's a god awful Mario Party clone, one that broke me, because of it's AI, the game does more board stuff than mini-games, and when it does have the mini-games to play, they are lame, I would rather play SpongeBob: Lights, Camera, Pants! over Sonic Shuffle for a better non-Mario Party experience.

Bro really skipped Sonic Heroes.
It was good game
To be fair to RoL, the engine Big Red Button was working with wasn't made for a WiiU. They were making it for other consoles, so when Sega signed the exclusivity deal with Nintendo, and RoL got pushed to the WiiU, it screwed BRB over big time
I really hope Sonic Frontiers doesn’t fall into this list, but I’m still skeptical.
I really loved Sonic and the Black Knight. Also confused about the statement "being punished for going too fast" because every sonic game does that. The point is to memorize it and speed run levels. I thought the gameplay was fast and fun and the completionist in me kept me busy for months!
"Here the 20 worst sonic games" starts the list off by naming all the best sonic games
Watch mojo doesn't know anything about sonic or video games

Good news Ian Flynn is writing it and it has had a way more development time. Already a good sign.

I love how just a few days after the release of the very Successful Sonic movie 2, watchmojo releases this video. It's just funny to me.
Is it me or does Watchmojo just hates Sonic
I believe they made a video on the villains of sonic yesterday
I don't know witch is worst watchmojo or ign or gamespot
every time when new sonic game or movie come out they make this list , i never saw such an obsessive haters
you must be beaten alot by a sega kid in the school
As someone who owned Sonic Dash 2 for a week before realizing that unlocking your favorite character meant you still had to buy it with 180 red star rings that you were forced to spend in the tutorial, I'm glad it made a spot on this list.
Why are Team Sonic Racing and Sonic Adventure HD even on this list?? Also Sonic Forces isn’t necessarily “bad”, it was just basic and short
Probably for that reason
Too básic and too short
@@augustoortiz1254 But is not glitchy or unplayable, but by the price is a really short game.
@@nachovichoZX a triple a game too short, was the same problem with the order 1886, excellent graphics, but no extras, no interesting for research and short.
I'm sure than ISN'T a bad game, but that mini detail became the least bad in the list
I would say it was disappointing, it had it's funfactor theres no doubt about it. Just disappointing title that it was worth it to pick up at a price drop if people wanted to get their hands on the game. At least thats what i think about it based on when it was released
Sonic Forces was only a disapointed But better then few of them on this list.
Sonic adventure HD was only a port with no upgrade graphic, But i ignore that fault i really like Sonic Adventure HD version.
About Sonic 2006…
First - thanks for not first place.
Second - This game tried be a good much more than Sonic Forces. Yes, Sonic 2006 is glitchy as heck, but, at least, it’s tried be a great game. But, Sonic Forces is just - LAME! And its much worse. In gameplay, script and characters. If you don’t believe me - try Sonic P-06!
I'm kind of pissed off right now about Sonic 2006 itself, how much it's an inextinguishable opinion that needs to die.
I guess Sonic just can't have a good weekend with this movie being out... let's bring up the negatives.
Fact that there are that many bad sonic games to make a top 20 video about shows the recent quality of the franchise other than sonic mania
literally only one of these games is recent wtf are you talking about
It's sad that 20 can be named for a list like this...
Most of them are only mediocre.
Garbage list
Honestly some of the games they chose are a really big stretch
WatchMojo needs to update the top 10 best Sonic games.
But they won’t because that just makes too much sense to them.
Also they'll just put Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on top again I don't know why it's not the best of the classics let alone the entire franchise
i heavily disagree with team Sonic racing its not bad but its not great either but fun. what killed it was the lack of updates
I haven’t play that game But don’t deserve to be here. Few of the better Sonic spin-off.
True. While inferior to the Sega All Stars series, it’s far from awful. It just faced stiff competition at the time.
@@nintendolife25 it's inferior to transformed only, it's better than the first Sega all star.
It's got better music, animations, I prefer wisps instead of random power ups, and it's got team mechanics
It was a disservice ending the greatness of All-Stars Racing for something just worse. And the light blue 3D Sonic model isnt a good look. along with Silver's odd head how it looks like he's looking up instead of at the road while racing.
HEY! I really liked Team Sonic Racing and SADX 2010! Sonic 4 Episode 2 was also a good game in my opinion too!
Sonic 3D Blast was really good in my opinion as well! I really loved with what it did!
I also agree with you. Sonic 4 Episodes 1 and 2, plus Sonic 3D Blast were excellent games. Why do those idiots of Watchmojo put them on this list? Once again, they ruined the list.
Tbh their list of things have been pretty dumb 🤣
I'm finally playing Team Sonic Racing and I'm enjoying it so far!
For me, Sonic 4's physics wasn't quite right. Ep2 is the much better half. If it had a bigger team or more time then it could have been a much better game.
20: It could have been better, but All-Stars Racing is king.
19: I actually liked this one.
18: It's meh to me.
17: It's a "so bad, it's good" type of game to me.
16: I actually liked this one.
15: I actually liked this one.
14: Haven't played it yet, but it looks good to me.
13: I actually liked this one.
12: Haven't played it yet, but it looks good to me.
11: I actually liked this one.
10: Uh... pass.
9: It's meh to me.
8: Ugh! Pass!
7: I actually liked this one.
6: I actually liked this one.
5: I liked it, but it could have done better.
4: Meh.
3: I actually liked this one.
2: I like it, but man it's... something.
1: At least the cartoon was fun.
Honestly, Forces really had potential. Too bad it was rushed.
The character creator could have worked, if it had more features. Or just, give us the guy from the trailers. Classic was just pure nostalgia bait and was wholly unnecessary and poorly implemented. They somehow took an existing engine (The one from Gens) and ruined it.
I actually had more fun playing "Sonic Forces" than I did "Super Mario Oddessy".
And don't get me started on the character assassination
@@mysterykiddo2167 Tails being afraid of Chaos 0, after defeating Chaos in a stronger form
You know when they had filler spots when Even Tails Skypatrol makes the list..
The fact that they put a mobile game on this list just shows that they’re reaching for any reason to shit on the Sonic series.
Honestly, lists like this are basically the gaming equivalent of picking on the weird kid. It's low hanging fruit Now, a top 20 worst Mario games list would certainly be interesting since they tend to be of higher quality.
I don't agree with many of the games on the list. I have a soft spot for 3D Blast, Shuffle and anything on the Gems Collection.
I like Sonic Forces, Sonic Team Racing, Sonic Dash 2 (Also known as Sonic Dash Boom) and Sonic The Hedgehog (The original and first game). But I don't like some other Sonic games that are worst
Exaggerated to put games like Rivals, Team Sonic Racing and even Forces on this list. Maybe even Shadow is exaggerated, they are games that still work, even if some have exaggerated for themes such as Shadow or not having exploited them enough as in Forces..also why Sonic Adventure HD? I haven't seen so many errors
If your standards are “games that work” then that’s a bad sign
I played that HD port over 20 to 30 hours and i didn’t find any error at all and like this game.
@@johnnyruoff665 Argument equal to 0
Forces was awful
@@realshipn5546 Argue instead of saying nonsense
20. I had fun with Team Sonic Racing, though I wish the difficulty was turned down a bit. It seems like the team racing is the only mode you can win. Like, try to get 1st place in a normal race. It's damn near impossible.
19. I never had any issues with the 360 version. It played just as great as the GameCube version.
18. I bet the game would be better if you could fly in the Tornado plane instead.
17. Well... hard to argue here...
16. The story in Shadow was a complete mess.
15. I had fun with this game. Granted, I beat it in about 2 days. But, I had fun. I even used a lightsaber attachment to play this.
14. I had fun with this one, too. Granted I didn't have a lot of PSP games... Granted they didn't release a lot of Sonic games for PSP...
13. Sonic Dash 2 is pretty fun. I mean, it's a bit of a hassle to unlock the characters... But, the game was fun. Didn't frustrate me game play wise.
12. Shattered Crystal was okay. It definitely felt more like a Sonic game than the Wii U game.
11. A shame. I really enjoyed those games. Especially the music. One could only imagine what episode 3 could have been...
10. Um... Was this even an "official" Sonic game? This looks like one of those piss poor fan games...
9. Sonic the Fighters was okay. Metal Sonic was a pain in the ass.
8. Yeah... I don't understand why Labyrinth was made to begin with.
7. 3D Blast was fun, too, despite the Flicky collecting, plus once you figured out the isometric view, it's a breeze. I only wish that the Saturn version was re-released more. In every Sonic game collection, we always see the Genesis version of the game. Why not the Saturn version? Oh, and this game is credited for giving Sonic his signature homing attack thanks to that golden shield.
6. Man, Sonic Forces was awesome. It's the first time I made one of those OC Sonic characters. Plus, it's the first Sonic game I ever 100% completed.
5. The funny thing is that we'd get a better portable version of the 1st Sonic game on the PSP in SEGA Genesis Collection, on the DS in the Sonic Classic Collection, and on the 3DS in the 3D Classic version of Sonic 1. And the SEGA AGES Sonic 1 game for the Nintendo Switch.
4. Sonic Riders was so much fun. Why did they ruin it with the Kinect? Better question: After seeing several Kinect games getting re-released with regular controller style, why haven't we seen a regular controller style re-release for Free Riders yet?!
3. I think there's a party style multi-player game in Sonic & the Secret Rings that plays a lot better than Shuffle. Granted, I never played Shuffle either...
2. Funny enough, '06 was the first game I got for the 360. There were frustrations with some Silver levels and Crisis City, but I had fun with the boss battles.
1. Rise of Lyric committed the one crime no Sonic game should have done. It was boring! I honestly fell asleep playing the game one time. I didn't encounter bugs or glitches, but the boredom I endured making my way through the levels were worst than any past frustrations I had with past Sonic games. The music absolutely sucked, too. The only positive I have is that I played as Amy giving Metal Sonic a beat down. It was fun having Amy get payback from CD, but to play through a yawn fest like that game was hardly worth it. Thank goodness the 3DS games and the animated series were a hell of a lot better than the Wii U game.
Wow! That's a lot of reasons for these games!😮
Wow, the audio balance for this video is taking notes from Sonic Adventure 2 :)
The only game on this list I am sick of people bashing is Sonic 06. You guys didn't even mention Project 06.
Exactly
Because project 06 isnt official
there’s zero reason to talk about 06 in 2022 without bringing up project 06. We’ve all heard every reason it sucks every other day for 16 years. Project 06 is actually a new interesting story.
Because project 06 is made by fans and is unofficial. I swear you 06 fans won't give up, games trash
I actually loved shadow the hedgehog
I liked Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic & The Black Knight, Sonic R, Sonic the Fighters & Sonic 3D Blast (Saturn Version, Not Genesis)
Shadow's game sucked.
You're a Wo/Man of Culture for liking 3D blast (Saturn version)😎😎

I understand why people don't like Sonic forces but I wouldn't put it this high on the list of worst games. I mean there's a lot of games it's ahead of that it's definitely better than. Interesting list anyway though
The list between 20-11 are the disappointed of the Top which Sonic Forces might be in, its not bad but one of the disappointed Sonic games for a while.
When a Sonic game is good, its great. When its bad, its really bad. Never in between
There are the so bad that it's good games.
Black Knight was good but not great
@@theminecraft2516 agreed
@@theminecraft2516 it gets rivaled with secret rings on which one is better
@@bigpoetothegibdo5987 Hell nah, Secret Rings was aaaasssss
I didn’t think Sonic Forces was a bad Sonic game. I thought it was awesome. One of the best ones in my opinion.
Never and not a bad game at all.
Sonic and the Black Knight and Team Sonic Racing is criminally underrated
I knew it was coming, but it still hurt a bit when Black Knight showed up. It's a decent game, and the fact they chose it over Secret Rings is so baffling. But yes I know it's not that serious
WTF, SONIC RIVALS 2 WAS ONE OF THE BEST SONIC GAMES!!
I disagree with some of these picks listed above. I actually enjoyed playing Tails' Skypatrol, Sonic R, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic and The Black Knight, Sonic Rivals 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 & 2, Sonic the Fighters, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Free Riders and Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 on my Gamecube, PS3, and Nintendo Wii all during my childhood respectively
This list is a mess
Secret Rings and Black Knight are underrated.
The fact they actually missed a few is telling. Still adore Sonic though. Even if a game is bad, it’s still usually the Sonic I know and love.
I AGREE with you on "Sonic Schoolhouse." I DISAGREE with you on "Sonic '06," &, "Sonic 3D Blast!" UNPOPULAR OPINIONS, I Know! But Those ARE some of my FAVORITE 'Sonic' games. The FOLLOWING 'Sonic' games are ALRIGHT to me: "Sonic Adventure 1" (I prefer "Sonic Adventure 2") & "Sonic the Hedgehog 1." I haven't plaid nor even watched the walkthrough foe any of the other games. Therefore, I don't have an opinion YET on those.
Quite a few of these aren't even bad games... Team Sonic Racing, Sonic Adventure DX Re-Release, Tails' Skypatrol, Sonic Rivals 2, Sonic Dash 2 - Sonic Boom, Sonic 4, Sonic the Fighters, Sonic 3D Blast, and Sonic Forces. Like, I could get if you made the argument that they were mediocre games (esp with Sonic 4, Forces, or 3D Blast), but bad? What? Tails' Skypatrol is bad because it's a short 15 - 20 minute game and it's not tougher? Dash 2 - Sonic Boom is bad because...it's still Sonic Dash but with Boom designs...?
I feel like a lot of people really exaggerate how bad Sonic catalogue of games are. He really doesn't have that many truly bad games. It's mostly just a mix of good and mediocre stuff.
I agree. Some of these was only Okay or a little mediocre. But i played few of them and they are not so bad.
I like Forces. And I'm probably the only person who saw the potential in '06. They fix a few things here and there that they either couldn't fix because they were rushed to release it by Christmas or give Silver a different side character that's not Blaze, and they could re-release it in four years for Switch
Forces its better then Sonic 06 in my opinion But its not a bad game at all.
I've played Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 and you guy's are completely overreacting to it.
For 1, The gitches are not as bad as there made out to be, The only reason why you find alot is because you look for them.
2, STOP bashing Elise already, It was a simple kiss of revival. I mean y'all don't mind Peach and Boswer sooo 🤷♂️
This guy gets it
Right on
Not to mention Rogar rabbit and Jessica. Let's not forget
Your second reason doesn't matter to them bc that's Mario and not Sonic
@@richardperaza5083 Its the same category and it's the exact same thing.
Shadow and Black Knight are two of my favorite Sonic games. Sucks to see them on the list.
Sonic R, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic the Fighters, and Sonic 3D Blast are games I actually enjoyed a lot. And yes, they are not the best. Haha! Also, the narrator of the video has a great Sonic voice!
I loved all 4 of those too especially sonic R. Childhood memories.
@@ZFAN675 A lot of good memories from that game. It was the first time I got to play as my favorite Sonic character, Metal Sonic. Along with Metal Knuckles, Tails Doll, Egg Robo, and Super Sonic!
@@heyu8967 I remember trying to unlock all the characters and it was pretty hard to do especially super sonic lol. My favorite character to play as was tails. I used to play as him alot.
@@ZFAN675 It definitely was a challenge, but a fun one
@@heyu8967 for sure! Lots of great memories of sonic R. The music is so dope. Can you feel the sunshine? Is my favorite track.
I've just been reminded how many failures Sonic has had over the years compared to Mario which has very few. But thanks to the success of both movies in the last 2 years, Sonic 's video game track record is irrelevant now!
Honestly sonic forces was the biggest disappointment for me mainly because of the villains first them not even being the real version of themselves second two of them get one shot in cutscenes and die & the other two just get one scene & a boss fight &die, then the big secret behind the mysterious masked villains origins was also very disappointing. Honestly my favorite sonic games are still the ones were Eggman is messing with shit he shouldn’t be and has to help sonic by the end lol
Although it wasn’t necessarily a “bad” game, it was short and basic. It had so much potential, but wasn’t exceeded
The fact that they brought all 3 Hedgehogs (especially Sliver). This game was supposed to be bigger than Sonic 06...
Yet it was a complete disappointment... The custom character is the most disgusting abomination I have ever seen what a stupid idea...
Yeah but it didn’t need to be a stupid idea the game the concept in the trailer made it seem like it was gonna be a much bigger game that actually was like you said bigger than 06 but it felt like just a small Sort of side quest title.
I love Shadow the Hedgehog. Granted, some of its levels and missions could've been better, but I loved its darker tone, tragic origins for Shadow, and the fact that you could choose to be a hero or villain. It deserved better
I was actually confused when I saw Sonic Free Riders on here until I realised I just got it confused with the original game I actually played as a kid Sonic Riders because the names are so similar.
You can say you don't like Black Knight, but saying it's worse than Secret Rings convinces me that drugs were involved with the formation of that opinion
I liked Shadow the Hedgehog and Black Knight; not great games, they were just okay. But I agree they had their issues of being too easy and not supporting being fast, but it still had momentum and flow.
Also, where is Sonic Chronicles the Dark Brotherhood? Not only is it a really bad game, it also screwed up the music. Something even Sonic 2006 excel'd at ironically enough.
@@darkdragonmedeus705 game itself was ok but soundtrack...even atari 2600 games had way better musics
Entries 20 and 4 were shocking on their own, but what I found is all the more ridiculous (text wall ahead):
They have Team Rose but each is different, and yes Vector has a team from TSR named after him with that duo from 2006 I don't wanna talk about (entry 2).
In Free Riders besides from him and the leader (guess who), there's also Cream, but In TSR, there's Big and a quad of Chao whom kicked the rabbit from the team despite the fact she has a Chao of her own.
My point is, when Big saw Team Rose from Free Riders, Vector had replaced him. Big didn't take this circumstance too kindly because they are both power types, so he decided to do the same thing to Cream with four Chao, but the rabbit already has Cheese, another Chao.
I think THAT'S why Cream wasn't in recent major games; as long as Big keeps impeding on her space, she'll never get a chance to show her face on PS4 or Windows 10 if Amy doesn't start taking notice soon.
And you have to admit, even with the paywalls, WatchMojo didn't see Sonic Runners as much of a problem.
I’m so glad you guys put 06 as number two and not number one. Also, what makes Sonic Shuffle even worse is that CPU knows all of the cards you have.
Ignore Tom. Sonic and the Secret Rings is WAY worse than Sonic and the Black Knight.
20 - Highly agreed on Team Sonic Racing tbh (could be higher tho). Was happy with it was free on PS Plus so I finally try it, but meh. Mediocre af story (along with presentation), double tapping for a start boost and the team mechanic... yeah, wasn't really fan personally.
19 - Nah, disagreed, sorry. Still fun af despite the flaws and I'll die on this. At least the PC port has mods to fix the resolution and graphics tho.
18 - Should be top 5, maybe top 3. Yes, it's that bad. Legit never even made it past the tutorial due to how long it is and easy to die.
17 - Legitimately fun game with a banger OST imo. Controls aren't nearly as bad as people say they are. Yes it could've had more content, but what can ya do.
16 - Understandable. I personally really enjoy this game bar the convoluted story stuff, but fair. That multiplayer was also damn enjoyable.
15 - Sorry, lost all respect for the list at this point. Good story, one of the best OSTs in the series (my personal second favourite after Unleashed's), and "IMO"... fun gameplay. Unironically my favourite hack n slash on Wii, which I'll probably get hate for here but hey ho. Appreciate the fact that it's a short and sweet game too. Massive improvement on Secret Rings at least. Only major gripe is the awful multiplayer really. That all said... HOW IS THIS ON THE LIST AND NOT SECRET RINGS!? Don't get me wrong, I like both but...
14 - Ok, this one is fair, I don't like the Rivals games much either. Wouldn't necessarily say they're top 20 bad, just very mediocre. Shattered Crystal did a much better job at the races imo.
13 - Eh, not bad in the slightest imo. Good for a chill "whip out your phone for a quick game" session tbh. Replace this with Sonic at the Olympic games, which literally makes you pay for the whole game without any early indications.
12 - Fair enough. Outside of the first level and the race levels, don't like this one much. Levels rely on mazes WAY too much it hurts.
11 - Not a great game, but again, not top 20 bad. I do actually enjoy this game somewhat, but Episode 2 is definitely a big improvement. The graphics are FINE though, I personally love them. Unique look to a Sonic game.
10 - Never played it, but yeah this choice is definitely justified lmao.
9 - Not top 20 bad. It's decent enough fun for a quick arcade playthrough or two.
8 - Justified, but I unironically enjoy this game, bar from the second level of Zone 2 and the final level (before the final boss). Idk man, I just grew to like the slowness and the janky mechanics of this. It has charm... in its own way. Not every game has to be fast to be fun. Also it's short, which is a plus.
7 - Can't be arsed at this point with this list... Nowhere near top 20 bad. It's more fun than people make it out to be honestly, Saturn version or not.
6 - Forces isn't even bad, just "disappointing" as a good handful would say. I didn't really find it disappointing really, just enjoyed playing it. Unironically loved it on release and even got the platinum (one day before release date due to an early copy lol). Don't play Forces much anymore, but I wouldn't mind doing so again at some point.
5 - Justified from head to toe. Should be top 3 though. Genuinely one of the worst games I've ever played. At least the bosses are fun to mess around with though and the OST is kinda a bop.
4 - Never played it (due to never owning an Xbox), but yeah, completely understandable. And don't even get me started on how hard they botched the story cutscenes.
3 - Yep, f**king awful. Never even made it past the first board. Quit after half an hour of playtime.
2 - Unironically my second favourite Sonic game. Gameplay nearly isn't as bad as people make it out to be, and is actually really fun once you know what you're doing (the glitch stuff is also way overblown). Story isn't even that bad tbh (understandable how people think's Sonic's story is tho). Also, banger soundtrack.
1 - Played this on emulator and it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Pretty relaxing game imo, just don't like the fact that the "open world" hubworlds exist. They're the most pointless thing ever and serve no purpose. Other than that though, it's an "ok" game imo.
As you may have figured out by now... Yeah, I'm very generous when it comes to some games, and I don't like this list very much. Games you could've easily included are: Sonic Lost World, Sonic Spinball (8-bit), Sonic Blast, Sonic Jam (game.com), Sonic at the Olympic Games (iOS/Android ver), maybe some of the Java games... Yeah, there's a good few.
Team sonic racing is second best racing game I've played after all star transformed
Sonic fans in 2006: this game is the worst
Sonic fans in 2014(*boom relases*):
You know what 06 ain't that bad
Sonic fans in 2017: *Forces releases*
Ok you can stop now it's not funny anymore
I'm gonna state something real. The reason why these Sonic games dramatically dipped in quality is because they're rushed. It's like Sega announces each Sonic game immediately after the development team come to a unanimous agreement on a title and concept on top of setting unrealistically short deadlines for release. There's also the callous indifference to the debugging and polish on the games and that's due to incompetent management.
As featured in a Game Grumps episode of Sonic Heroes in which Arin talks about a conversation he had with a member of the game's development team tasked with debugging. Management just pretty much told them to only remove bugs that hinders game progress and nothing else. Hmm... Sounds like Sega is in need of new leadership if that's their approach to game development.
If they ever make another Sonic and SEGA All-Stars game, I want them to add Dinosaur King into the roster.
I actually like Team Sonic Racing, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Unleashed and Shadow the Hedgehog
I like them too. They don’t deserve to be on the top 20 worst list.
Same. I like all of those.
Unleashed wasn't on the list
7:55 why would he say that if Shattered Crystal was meant to be a sequel to to Rise of Lyric
I'm shock Sonic the Hedgehog 4 episodes and Sonic Forces are on the list. I enjoy those games.
Me too.
Fucking hell. WatchMojo hates Sonic more than IGN at this point.
Not as much as X-Play though
I enjoyed Sonic 4, but it was just the 2ed episode. I really did not enjoy the 1st, but really is because I could never pass the special stages. The 2ed episode really did shine in soundtrack and some levels and used to play it slot when I was young. Sad it made it on this list though.
The weird thing about Sonic Boom is that the animation series was dubbed in Chinese and there's a chance it have been shown on TV before. While WiiU was never released in China and thus neither would any of the games on it.
I'm tired of people hating on sonic, really tired.
This list is invalid since there aren't 20 bad sonic games.
Half of the list is mid games.
3 or 4 of these games are actually very good.
Some of these games i have played and are not so bad as they say, and have At least some redeemed moment.
Me: having so much fun playing sonic games
This guy: top 20 worst sonic games
I'm sorry but Sonic Dash 2 Sonic Boom *does not* deserve the title of being the 13th worst Sonic game the game is really good and fun. Sonic Boom Shattered Crystal while having it's quirks, the levels and rival races are amazing and I love them. Sonic Boom Fire & Ice is not even a bad game. It's gameplay preformed well and is very fun.
Sonic 06 is alright imo but I ran into some glitches. I love the soundtrack though.
Now I know nobody agrees on this opinion but I see Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric as a good game. I mainly enjoy the incredible cutscenes and general animation of the game. The frame rate is bad but I was use to choppy frame rate. I didn't run into many glitches. It only took a deep look into the stages and oh noooo. You can maneuver cool glitches and questionable glitches. The voice acting is great and the combat is fun especially when you use the whole cast and create your own little combos by spamming buttons for each of the characters. I like the power ups the little robot guys drop before or during a robot swarm. There's this one staff thing that freeze's enemies.
*Okay this is already long enough and I already made the worst opinion so I'll leave it here before it turns into a rant about Sonic Synergy.*
Yep, I liked sonic dash 2. Not sure what's wrong with it though
I was stuck on one of the levels of Sonic and The Black Knight as a kid, I don’t think I ever got past it.
I will confess I was expecting 2006 to be number 1 but then i forgot Sonic Boom and remembered how it was the worst of the entire series and its no wonder it dethroned 2006 and became number 1 on the spot here.
Nah 06 is worse
@@mart5610 To be honest, both of them had potential, they were just screwed because of Sega. P-06 shows that 06 could have been the Colors of the "Dark Era" if the game had been given more time in development: Not a good story (Except for Shadow's part in the case of 06, but still has its plotholes anyway), but at least it would have had a good gameplay, just like Colors doesn't really have an interesting story, but it's still fun to play. Boom's problems come from the fact that they had to change the engine they were using, and were pretty much forced to change quite some parts of the game to fit what Sega wanted, all in all it's a miracle that they even managed to release the game in the state it was.

Oh hell no, Sonic Boom was NOT as bad as Sonic 06, at least you could advance trough the game in Boom since it was so easy, on 06 the glitches made the game a million times more difficult and just beating it became insanely hard due to it.
Yeah and the animations in Rise of Lyric are incredible best of the entire meta series.
sonic boom rise of lyric is worst sonic game of all time
Wow, Watchmojo REALLY does not like Sonic...
Here’s my take on the games I’ve played(and some I haven’t:
- I really enjoyed TSR. It’ll never measure up to Mario Kart but I like how SEGA tried to make it there own.
- I coincidentally started playing the HD version of SA1 the day I type this, & I barely see anything wrong with it(so far).
- I love Shadow the Hedgehog. I think it’s a nice change of direction & didn’t mind the guns and language.
- Haven’t played Black Knight, but I’ve seen playthroughs & the cutscenes & looks like it’s worth the play, I hope to get my hands on a copy soon.
- Forces sucks. Classic Sonic has no reason being there, the rest of the characters are useless & are just there, Tails is made out to be a coward/heavily reliant on Sonic, the level design has no creativity or diversity & the climax was a whole joke. The only good things to come out of it were the soundtrack and avatar.
- I’ve seen cutscenes and gameplay of 06 for years, & tbh, I think it’s pretty ok. The story’s good to an extent, Shadow’s character is at its best, & the soundtrack is out of this world. My few big complaints are that Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Blaze were underutilized, Sonic & Elise’s relationship could’ve been written differently for obvious reasons(Elise is alright imo) & Blaze’s fate could’ve been rewritten so she would still be around at the end. I’m actually interested in playing the game now.
- I’m so glad my parents didn’t buy me RoL. 10 y/o me was begging for this game & never got it but I’m happy it turned out that way. This game it cursed, that’s all I can say.
Ps. I’m satisfied that Unleashed isn’t on here, it’s my favorite Sonic game
Sonic Games that are not that bad and people over exaggerates.
-Team Sonic Racing, a good racing game just need improvement in the WiFi server.
-Sonic Black Knight, has the great story and the best portrayal of Sonic’s character.
-Sonic Rival 2
-Sonic Boom Shattered, better then Rose of Lyric, but Fire and Ice is better then both of them.
-Sonic 4 ep 1 and 2, not perfect but still playable.
-Sonic the Fighters
-Sonic Labyrinth, not that bad just use the Spin Dash ability and you can stop on a dine, I beaten it in 30 minutes. Plus watching The Great Clement Sonic play through made it easy to play.
Sonic Forces, Team Sonic Racing , Sonic & The Black Knight , Sonic Boom Shattered Crystal, Sonic R , Shadow The Hedgehog Not Bad Games , All of Them Is Better Than Sonic Blast & Sonic Drift
L.
Shadow the Hedgehog is an underrated game.
Team Sonic Racing was good, and had a dope soundtrack.
Sonic Rivals 2 was actually pretty enjoyable.
You can't change my mind.
Totally agreed!
Sonic 4 episode 2 is a also a big improvement from one and doesn't deserve this list imo
shadow game is overrated
Sonic Adventure "HD version" is a port of Sonic Adventure DX, a 2003 released game.
I'm glad you acknowledged that Shadow the Hedgehog can still be considered enjoyable and isn't all bad.
But I personally feel that Sonic Forces should have been a lot lower. At least below Sonic Rivals 2, and definitely below Sonic Labyrinth.
Also, Rise of Lyric must be bad if it's worse than Sonic 06, which I expected to have the top spot. I saw AVGN's reviews of it and then understood why it was so disliked.
I don’t find Sonic Forces the worst game. It’s great!
Same here. It has some replay value and the music is great.
Agreed
Not as good as other games but it was still good.
is bad game
Watch MOJO like to dunk on Sonic. Its old and predictable
I actually liked Sonic Forces, the idea of a (Sonic) Underground of rebels fighting back against the Eggman Empire was actually a fun idea. Sonic 06 is only good for the music/songs, and I liked the "realistic" looking humans with the Cartoon looking Sonic and friends. That is the only thing I give to the 06 game. What does everybody have against the Sonic Boom designs, they were cool.
It did not deserve top 10 but it was a huge disappointment for many people.
Also a lot of people hate Sonic 06s story but silver and shadows story is actually pretty solid.
After greats like Unleashed, then Colors, then Generations. Forces was a HUGE step back in comparison
I like Forces a bit, But it was a disapointed Sonic game.
I'm very upset that Sonic 4 Ep 3 didn't happen still. I fully enjoyed both Ep 1 & 2 along with Shadow The Hedgehog
Same here, not bad But disapointed.
Everyone’s talking about the picks on the list, but let’s talk about how terrible the sound mixing of this video is. I can’t even hear the bad takes.
Watchmojo, don't need to watch the video. 0:00 tells me all I need to know. Shadow the Hedgehog is a GREAT Sonic game. How dare you say it's one of the worst. I would suggest Sonic 06 but it seems you love beating an already dead horse and can't leave well enough alone so yeah. Also Sonic 06 is NOT ALL bad. Hello? The soundtrack is the only good thing about that game but adding it to list makes it seem, at least to you guys and everyone who voted, that EVERYTHING, including the soundtrack, is bad. Suggestion: If you want to experience this game. DON'T. Get the soundtrack instead.
Ok I might show my age with this. But doesn't anyone else remember the Mean Bean Machine? It was a tetris like game starring Eggman. No, I thought not.
actually I do I still play it lol
Scott the Woz is how i first heard of that game’s existence
Hell, there's even a boss fight based on this game in Sonic Mania.
i remember mean bean machine being how i got introduced to puyo puyo from mega collection(remember playing that a lot along with sonic 3 & looking at the movies for sonic heroes hyping the game to me/archie comics gallery.)
,it not having sonic at all and along with spinball/references to satam and sonic x in chronicles(as well as the poster in adventure dx & cosmo's seedling possibly being in sonic channel art of tails fixing the tornado.) being the few times the cartoons are mentioned in the games.
Mean Bean Machine is a classic.
