As a Sonic fan, I hate the fact there is enough bad games to make a top 20 list.

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.

What, I can't believe Team Sonic Racing would be on the list. I actually liked that game.

Wow, they finally respect Sonic Unleashed.

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’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.

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”

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

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”

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.

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.

I think Sonic 3D Blast was okay. I liked Shadow the Hedgehog. But have you found that damn 4th Chaos Emerald.

0:53 Team Sonic Racing 1:56 Sonic Adventure HD Version 2:58 Tails Skypatrol 3:42 Sonic R 4:38 Shadow The Hedgehog 5:28 Sonic And The Black Knight 6:18 Sonic Rival 2 7:08 Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom 7:48 Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal 8:31 Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode I & II 9:22 Sonic's Schoolhouse 10:08 Sonic The Fighter 10:57 Sonic Labyrinth 11:48 Sonic 3D Blast 12:27 Sonic Force 13:23 Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis 14:12 Sonic Free Riders 15:05 Sonic Shuffle 16:01 Sonic The Hedgehog 17:12 Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric

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.

#20: Team Sonic Racing (2019) #19: “Sonic Adventure” HD Version (2010) #18: Tails’ Sky Patrol (1995) #17: Sonic R (1997) #16: Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) #15: Sonic and the Black Knight (2009) #14: Sonic Rivals 2 (2007) #13: Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom (2005) #12: Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal (2014) #11: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I & II (2010-2012) #10: Sonic’s Schoolhouse (1995) #9: Sonic the Fighters (1996) #8: Sonic Labyrinth (1995) #7: Sonic 3D Blast (1996) #6: Sonic Forces (2016) #5: Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis (2006) #4: Sonic Free Riders (2010) #3: Sonic Shuffle (2000) #2: Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) #1: Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (2014)

When sonic is at his most positive point, someone has to come in and make a video like this. Thanks WatchMojo.

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 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!

I really hope Sonic Frontiers doesn’t fall into this list, but I’m still skeptical.

Top Ten Upcoming Games We Hope Won't Suck Example: Sonic Frontiers

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.

"Here the 20 worst sonic games" starts the list off by naming all the best sonic games

WatchMojo needs to update the top 10 best Sonic games.

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.

HEY! I really liked Team Sonic Racing and SADX 2010! Sonic 4 Episode 2 was also a good game in my opinion too!

It's sad that 20 can be named for a list like this...

I guess Sonic just can't have a good weekend with this movie being out... let's bring up the negatives.

Is it me or does Watchmojo just hates Sonic

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 actually loved shadow the hedgehog

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

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.

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.

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

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

Wow, the audio balance for this video is taking notes from Sonic Adventure 2 :)

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

You know when they had filler spots when Even Tails Skypatrol makes the list..

When a Sonic game is good, its great. When its bad, its really bad. Never in between

Watch Mojo: Go 10 minutes without mentioning Sonic 06 challenge: (IMPOSSIBLE)

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.

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

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.

The only game on this list I am sick of people bashing is Sonic 06. You guys didn't even mention Project 06.

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.

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

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 didn’t think Sonic Forces was a bad Sonic game. I thought it was awesome. One of the best ones in my opinion.

I liked Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic & The Black Knight, Sonic R, Sonic the Fighters & Sonic 3D Blast (Saturn Version, Not Genesis)

Me: having so much fun playing sonic games This guy: top 20 worst sonic games

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.

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.

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

Wow you really hate that hedgehog

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!

Watchmojo need a top 20 Best Sonic games

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!

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.

WTF, SONIC RIVALS 2 WAS ONE OF THE BEST SONIC GAMES!!

Shadow and Black Knight are two of my favorite Sonic games. Sucks to see them on the list.

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

The black knight was actually good the antagonist was a huge plot twist. An good one that we haven't had In a while.

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.

I'm glad Sonic Unleashed isn't here, but I must ask... *WHERE THE HELL IS SONIC AND THE SECRET RINGS!?*

Since the Franchise is 30th Years Old,please do Top 30 Sonic Sonic and Stage Music,Top 30 Best Sonic Stages,Top 30 Sonic Characters,and Top 30 Sonic Stages.

If they ever make another Sonic and SEGA All-Stars game, I want them to add Dinosaur King into the roster.

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.

am i the only person that likes sonic and the black night?

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.

As soon as I saw the title, I KNEW that Sonic’s Schoolhouse was going to be on here!

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.

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.

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 don’t find Sonic Forces the worst game. It’s great!

Secret Rings and Black Knight are underrated.

I liked Forces character customizer because it was something fresh and new. Also seeing Eggman win for part of a game again was interesting because he rarely does. I do wish the villains lineup didn't have Shadow and instead featured Mephiles seriously he is one of the darkest and most powerful Sonic villains and literally could be swapped out for Shadow easily. Actually hech don't have the villains as projections instead they should have had them legit brought back I mean Metal Sonic could have been rebuilt, Chaos could have been brought back easily, Mephiles could have been brought back through time travel because thats a thing in Sonic, and Zavok well I don't know he is debatable. Also Infinite was kind of interesting. Honestly if Forces was Sonic Heroes 2 and Ian Flynn was writing it I feel like we could have gotten one of the best Sonic games of this console generation.

Methinks you should do a Top 20 Best Sonic Games list for fairness’ sake. There are just enough games to make that number. 😉

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

Okay, you are just being cruel to Sonic

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.*

Fucking hell. WatchMojo hates Sonic more than IGN at this point.

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 personally enjoyed Sonic Forces and Team Sonic Racing

Sonic Adventure "HD version" is a port of Sonic Adventure DX, a 2003 released game.

Despite a slight game play down grade on the Genesis Sonic 3d Blast for the Genny was quite a accomplishment. Those 3d Sprites still look good today compared to the polygon games of the 90's.

Wow, Watchmojo REALLY does not like Sonic...

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

I actually like Team Sonic Racing, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Unleashed and Shadow the Hedgehog

Every video game franchise has bad games. They’re not all good. This list doesn’t surprise me. Enough said.

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.

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 🤷‍♂️

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 am fully convinced that Sonic's Schoolhouse was the game that Baldi's Basics was parodying.

I actually enjoyed Team Sonic Racing.

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

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.

Sonic 06s ending is the most what on earth moment in a sonic game

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.
