    A funny trick I used to do playing Sonic CD on my tablet (like two or three years ago) was to have internet while the game booted up, and then once I got into the stage, just leave the house and the game would still play just fine, no ads or constant internet required, and thus I could play Sonic CD (and Sonic 2 as well if I'm remembering correctly) without internet.
    By the way, I don't think the trick works anymore :(

    what I hate about the S4E2 Forever re-release is the fact that if you own the older version (which I do, and don't ask why), it lets you download it, which is fine.
    ..except for the fact that the older version is locked to 30 FPS, while the new one is to 60, and unless I pay for it again, I am stuck either with ads or 30 FPS.
    edit: I was going to purchase the new version but it kept defaulting to my other google account and wouldn't let me change despite CLEARLY SETTING THE RIGHT ONE WHEN IT ASKED ME AT THE START. probably dodged a bullet tbh

      My brother in christ not once do you need to push 2 buttons at once during SA1, not even in gamma's levels.
      (Proposed SA1 touchpad layout:
      Touch menus (duh)
      Main buttons:
      Joystick on the left and jump button on the right at all times (duh)
      B button action slightly to the left of jump button (with appropiate icons for each character's b button action I.E. tail spin and roll for tails (button changes with running speed) and hammer for amy at all times)
      Context sensitive Y button actions pop up slightly above jump button at the times they need to like the pop ups in SA2 (this would make grabbing no longer take the same button as B action)
      Swipe anywhere else to move camera and pinch to zoom (pinch to zoom HAS to be optional so as to not cause problems on android)
      Pause button in the usual spots they are in mobile games
      Miscellaneous buttons and actions
      Chao garden has all controls at once, possibly looking like a genesis 6 button controler because thats the only way they could comfortably fit
      Button layouts can be moved and resized in options like in sonic 1 and 2
      Tap and hold anywhere to skip cutscenes
      Tap anywhere to advance adventure field dialogue with npcs
      (Casinopolis pinball) tap left side for left bumper and right side for right bumper
      Table tilt with either joystick or tilt controls (change in options)
      (Ice Cap/Tails sand level whose name I can't remember oops) Snowboard section has optional tilt controls (can be turned off) but the main button layout doesnt go away unlike pinball
      (Sky chase) Tornado has swipe controls, tilt controls, or joystick with shoot button on the right side and lock on button slightly left of shoot button
      Big's fishing has an optional skeumorph image of a reel that you reel when you want to catch the fish, removing the awkward controls of the original (you would have to set the controller down due to it being the optimal option to do this which would get annoying really fast)
      Controller support)
      (While we're on the topic, heres some things I would want for a general re-remaster:
      Remappable buttons
      X button doing Y actions instead of just copying B action
      More robust rumble and possibly hd rumble on switch and ps5 (also applies to mobile but wothout the hd part obviuosly)
      All features of dreamcast conversion with the option to use gc models with dc lighting and vice versa)
      Higher quality voices, sfx and remastered music from the soundtrack cd, along with a rerelease of the soundtrack cd with bonus songs if you preorder (the cd by itself sold separately if you didnt preorder)
      Implementing the cream model instead of a signpost (Its already in the game why did they do this in the first place)
      Bugfixes but NOT exploit fixes
      Higher quality textures for the UI and menus only
      Npc models that match the gc models (poor eggman)
      A 50 dollar burger king gift card)

      I've played 3D games with an on-screen analog stick, emulators and ports alike. It has as much of the precision as an actual stick, but with no physical reference point to stop or return. But unless you slide very far on the regular, this becomes a non issue.

    The cool part about the android version is that restoring the purchase allows you to install the legacy versions instead of just removing ads from the SF versions. The aspect ration is weird on ultrawide displays but its still better than what we have now

    It seems whoever's in charge of SEGA's mobile division isn't aware of how to handle their mobile games.
    For example, as a way to promote the new season of Sonic Prime, SEGA Hardlight quite literally ported over Sonic Dash+ (the iOS version of Sonic Dash that doesn't have *any* microtransactions or ads on top of a few improvements compared to the original), removed the plus and slapped a poorly made fancy new logo on it and made a few characters from Sonic Prime that were already available in the original game default characters (aka, characters you get immediately after clearing the tutorial).
    As a result, the original Sonic Dash is now much less enjoyable thanks to a new update that forces you to collect cards, just like in Sonic Forces: Speed Battle except much, *much,* *_much_* worse.
    And I do mean "just like in Sonic Forces: Speed Battle" as now if you want to upgrade a specific character you now need a specific number of cards on top of having the necessary amount of Rings. Which sucks for OG players who may have characters from crossover events as now if they didn't max out a specific crossover character they straight up *can't* and are forever stuck with those characters at specific stats.
    The kicker is SEGA Hardlight promoted the update by saying it would make collecting characters "faster" when in reality it's slower, by a *wide* margin. Normally events allowing you to get specific characters would require 250, 500 or even 1,000 Character Tokens or collecting the four items scattered throughout your runs depending on the event. With characters that have a nice balance between their "Dash" gauge and how long magnets last it's possible to get the necessary Character Tokens *way* before the event's even close to halfway done.
    They also flat out said the best part of Sonic Dash was the character collecting which kinda confuses me considering Sonic Dash is literally just a high score simulator without any purpose.
    Once you get that one character that you either were really hyped for or has some incredible stats you really like, every other character just feels like unnecessary fluff and you're only collecting them for the sake of collecting. There's no passive bonus for collecting characters or some kind of meta dictating which characters are the most OP on the nonexistent leaderboards. Hell, there isn't even a standard multiplayer race to see how far you can travel compared to your rival(s) or compete to see who can get the the highest score in a single run.
    We're just lucky the most SEGA Forever did in terms of money making was make you pay for no ads, can you imagine having to actively pay for lives, rings or even to try the special stages? That thought absolutely *terrifies* me.

      THEY'VE GIVEN SONIC DASH THE SPEED BATTLE CARD SYSTEM?! Sonic dash was my first ever sonic game (no joke) and this is KILLING me. The reason i EVER got excited unlocking a new character was cause "oh cool sonic character" their stats are premade, sure, BUT YOU CAN LITERALLY CHANGE THEIR WHOLE STATS SO WHATS THE POINT OF MAKING THEM HARDER TO UNLOCK?! Heck in speed battle and dash 2 you couldn't change the stats, only upgrade them but even then, this whole card thing would be unecessary. As you said: "They also said the best part about dash is getting the characters which confuses me considering sonic dash is literally just a high score simulator without any purpose".

      1 shield
      5 dash
      Etc.
      U can change these attributes when in 2 and speed battle theres only a set attribute(s) and you just uptrade them.

    Thank you for talking about these things, I genuinely thought nobody cared. It's sad to see these apps continue to degrade in quality. CD has managed to avoid the worst of it, thankfully, but it's not totally unscathed. Sound effects that were definitely still there pre-Sega Forever have been missing for years, namely the rolling sound, the signpost sound and the register sound when the score tally ends.
    And Sonic 1's special stage editor, the poor thing. It relies on debug mode, so when the forced pausing began, that made it harder to use. Especially when an ad would play every single time. It seems the ad frequency has been reduced since then, but even so it's still annoying.
    Random side note, CD's description in the Play Store gets its trivia wrong. Sonic CD was not the first game to feature Sonic speaking, I believe that was 1991's Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car. It also claims the infamous hidden message was meant to scare pirates. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that disproven a long time ago?

    I’ve been waiting for someone to document this for years. In addition to the things you mentioned, sometimes the screen locks incorrectly on wider displays, such as in the Quartz Quadrant boss fight, resulting in ridiculously small room for movement (and the spike trap being a non issue due to being off screen.) the save files for Sonic 1 and 2 don’t work when starting a new file. They default to a completed save file the next time you open them, regardless of your in game progress.

    I remember when I redownloaded Sonic 1 after having not played it in over 5 years (I last played it in 2016) and saw that they added ads to it of which, I recall being disappointed and eventually annoyed with the EXCESSIVE amount of them.
    There are different types of issues with their thing besides the Sonic games such as Comix Zone’s controls being unresponsive and difficult for the game to unplayable for many including myself; logging in and saving for games such as Shining Force can take one or multiple attempts for it to work properly, etc.

    I still remember when what I assume to be Sega Forever just absolutely broke Sonic 1 somehow, I'm talking random stuff from Sonic 2 just showing up, messing with the time trials menu (GHZ act 3 was treated as the start of a new zone, would keep offsetting until a bunch of later levels were just inaccessible), and you just flat out could not complete Spring Yard Zone Act 3 (You just DIED as sonic walked offscreen), the save select menu showed 7 emeralds (6 were still required by default as far as I'm aware). It was years ago at this point but like HOW did they mess up copy-pasting code that badly??? I'm still glad I have the Spring Yard death glitch that made the game UNCOMPLETEABLE archived via TH-cam because like Why?

    I have Sonic 1 2 and CD for Android since last year, these games are definitely better than the mega drive versions, but I also never understood why they update them and to this day I literally haven't seen ANY improvement, what's worse is that there are a lot of notable bugs, mainly that debug mode one that annoys me so much 🤦 In a dream world these games received relevant updates like the addition of new characters like Amy Mighty and Ray, and bug fixes that should be fixed.

And I think it was even uploaded to the cloud corrupted, when I leave the app the save reverts back a corrupted one and unless they wipe my save on the cloud, there's no much I can do, I even messaged support and basically said they can't do a thing about it.
    It's specially weird when the other two Shining Force games work normally. And I hate that there's no local save file when you buy the ad free version.

Ok, so Team Forever have created a fan-port of the retro engine Sonic 1 & 2 on PC with lots of quality of life improvements (like drop dash, new modes, Amy as a playable new character etc.) which are called Sonic 1 Forever and Sonic 2 Absolute. And a couple of months ago they released Sonic 1 Forever on mobile and guess what, there absolutely no ads!! You should check it out

    You missed one thing about when they put ads to continue (which based on how good you probably are isn’t surprising). After game overing in the paid version, continuing your save file now only gives you one life instead of the normal 3 it used to so you have are more likely to watch more ads (which you would probably need if you game overed in the first place) if you can’t beat the level without checkpoints or finding an extra one up. I just tested and this hasn’t been reverted since the removal of the play an ad to continue so if you are a super casual player who does a lot, sucks to suck.
