Loving how each new stage is an extension of the previous one.

Wait......does that mean tomorrow on day 4 you play Sonic 4?

Oh wait.....that game never existed......

There was a 2010 2D platformer released as Sonic 4 which was meant to be the spiritual successor.

I'd say the real spiritual successor on Genesis/Megadrive was Sonic & Knuckles, which came out after Sonic 3 and for all intents and purposes may as well have been called Sonic 4. But they had to push the Knuckles aspect because the cartridge had a passthrough that would accept another Genesis cartridge and allow you to play e.g. Sonic 2 with the Knuckles sprite, iirc.

Was planning to play Leisure Suit Larry 4 instead. 😬

My dad never let me play those when I was a teenager in the 90s.

I wonder if now, as a 41 adult, if I tried playing them......would I be like "Awww yeah, girl! This is the good shit!"

Or would I be like "Wow......13 year old me would have loved this. 41 year old me thinks it's immature....."?
