Quirks when playing Sonic games - "What d'you mean I'm playing this weirdly? I always do this!"

[Chaos Incarnate]

 

As I mentioned in the Popular and Unpopular Sonic opinions topic, I always go back to visiting hub worlds in Sonic Unleashed(mainly Apotos), so I can just stand around and listen to the music and stare at the gorgeous back drops. It's sort of a time waster, but I can't help it.

[Celestia]

- Don't know if this is that weird or not, but I love doing the somersault a lot in SA2 to make homing attacks and stuff look cool.

I just remembered that I tended to do this a lot, I'm not sure why but I just enjoyed somersaulting and doing that backflip-spin-jump thing.

[JezMM]

Just remembered a very specific one:

 

Sky Sanctuary Act 2 in Generations.  You must jump at the last split-second before the goal ring so Sonic flies up into the air before landing every time.  You must.

[Shikushi]

1. Every time I'm in the Sonic Adventure hubs I spindash and then jump around like a madman and get a shit-ton of air time.

2. Every time I play Sonic CD I have to see the good future for every level or I feel like I failed already.

Everytime I play Sonic Adventure, I try to go places I know are intentionally inaccessable in the hub worlds. I just keep hoping I'll unlock it somehow, I suppose. I've been doing it for seven or eight years now, though; I doubt it'll be accessable at this point.

Well, through enough persistence you can get to Emerald Coast as Amy as well as Tails and Knuckles I believe, but you won't make it very far.  So if you've ever tried doing that, you still have a chance.

Here’s another one: Most of the time when I’m playing the night levels in Unleashed, I have to break everything--otherwise I’m not satisfied.

When you are wanting to get everything out of this game, that sometimes is a real must. It was still always enjoyable breaking all those things and fighting in the game. It was a welcome change from the usual.

In Sonic 1, whenever I defeat Eggman in a level, I tend to have Sonic look up like he's watching Eggman flee. xD

Same here. It just wouldn't feel right otherwise.

[Johnny Boy]

Whenever I'm playing as Tails in Sonic Adventure, I always skip most of the level by flying.

[Uraraka]

haha! well my quirks  are nothing more than failures in disguise!

  when I play Radical Highway in SA2, when you go through that wind tunnel part, I just fall in and go through the rolling things instead of doing the bars above them... does that make sense at all?

   I also tend to fall into the water, land on spikes, get hit by an enemy when I got no rings left........ I am so bad at these types of things. but I still love it <3.

Sonic Advance 3: - If there a crushing block near by, I always let my partner get crush by it. - I always have Sonic as the leader or partner because he make you go faster when you have him. Sonic Adventure - When I'm playing as Tails in the hub world, I always fly everywhere. Sonic Rush - When I always do a Trick Finisher because I feel like I'm doing it wrong when I don't do a Finisher.

That's not a quirk; that's the only rational way to play those stages.

 

Here's one: On Emerald Coast and City Escape, I get tempted to restart (and usually end up doing so) if I so much as get hit.  I don't know.  Something about taking damage on the very first level always bothers me in SA1 and 2.

[Rexeljet]

Not sure if this counts, but whenever I'm using the slot machines in Casino Night or the slot machine bonus stages in S3&K, whenever it's apparent that I'm going to get either 3 Eggmans (Eggmen?) or an Eggman/Jackpot combo, I rapidly mash every button on the MD controller. I know it doesn't do anything, but it's a force of habit.

Taunting at every possible opportunity in Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing.

 

In Heroes, pressing L or R when going through a loop to intentionally mess up the camera.

It's the feeling of "OMG, how could I get hit? It's the first level. I should be better than this! Nope. I gotta try that again. I'm gonna do this the right way."

 

Don't worry, I feel it too... except I feel it in every playthrough of a Sonic game that isn't my first run. I cut myself some slack then.

[WhoWhatMan]

Actually, When I do my first playthrough of a new Sonic game or a sonic game I haven't played, I always try to speedrun the first level for some reason.
