Ranking Every 2D Sonic Game From Worst To Best

16. Sonic Triple Trouble

Sonic The Hedgehog
Sega

Sonic Triple Trouble isn't an outright terrible game by any stretch, and it is definitely a worthy handheld version of the original Sonic formula, but the fact of the matter is that there are much better Sonic games out there.

It had the enjoyable platforming the series is known for, a few (albeit very few) new mechanics, multiple playable characters, and the music, while nothing special, was at least serviceable.

However, the game also offered very little challenge, especially as compared to some of its console counterparts, which could make some of the game feel tedious, especially when playing it more than once. Plus, while the Game Gear was a strong handheld system at the time, it's limitations were still evident, as Sonic Triple Trouble did occasionally suffer from noticeable slowdown.

The game had a lot of drawbacks, but enough positives to come out ahead, even if it was by a rather slim margin (especially by today's standards.)
