I-ermm.....I'll say that, I started playing Sonic since SA2, I hated it, a LOT! I died a hell of a lot, cried when I got game over. (no kidding) But the only thing that brought me into Sonic was Metal Harbour. Yes, a LEVEL... I enjoyed the loop-de-loops in the stage. Then I thought does Mario have this? (I was a Mario fan before) I took out the SA2 disc and put in Super Mario Sunshine. I played on my 100% save. Replayed the first level and I was like "This is slow. Why can't I run fast like that blue guy?" I told my brothers and sisters "Wanna play Battle Mode?" They said yes. I said Let's go to Metal Harbour! I won constantly and thought THIS IS FUN! I later completed the game 10 days later, I was transformed. I was actually thinking of getting myself off a chair. And running, and working out. JKJKJK. I then was a Sonic Fan until I became 12 (2014)
