1) Favorite Character
2) Favorite Zone/Level/Action Stae
3) Favorite Era ("Genesis Era (Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, etc)", "Saturn Era (Sonic R, Sonic Jam, Sonic 3-D Blast)" "Dreamcast Era(SA, SA2, Sonic Shuffle)", "Gamecube Era(Battle, DX, Mega Collection, Riders etc)" "Next Gen Era(Sonic the Hedgehog)"
4) Overall Favorite Game (Top 3 if you have to)
5) Favorite Boss/Villian
6) Favorite Plot
7) Favorite Gamestyle
8 ) Favorite Platform (Which you most commonly use(d))
9) Favorite Secondary Character (Chaotix, Babylon Rouges, Maginaryworld characters, etc.)
10)Favorite Attack
Here are my results
1) Due to my overwhelming curiosity, it has to be Silver. But overall, Tails has always been my main man.
2) None comes CLOSE to "Lost World" in SA. BEST LEVEL EVER!
3) Dreamcast Era
4) 1:Sonic Adventure, 2: Sonic Adventure 2, 3:Sonic R
5) Mecha Sonic in Knuckles' Story in S&K
6) Shadow's History
7) 3-D Treasure Hunting! (Some people won't admit how much fun they had x3) or Racing. Sonic was meant to race. Go Sonic R!!
8 ) Dreamcast OR Genesis
9) Probably.....Espio. Or E-102.
10) Homing Attack was the answer to my prayers xD
4)
1) Favorite Character
Knuckles. He was awesome as a silent jerk in S3&Knuckles.
2) Favorite Zone/Level/Action Stage
Chaos Angel from Sadv3 had awesome music and backgrounds. Level design seemed off, though. The altered versions of SCD's levels also come to mind.
3) Favorite Era ("Genesis Era (Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, etc)", "Saturn Era (Sonic R, Sonic Jam, Sonic 3-D Blast)" "Dreamcast Era(SA, SA2, Sonic Shuffle)", "Gamecube Era(Battle, DX, Mega Collection, Riders etc)" "Next Gen Era(Sonic the Hedgehog)"
Genesis era. Without a doubt.
4) Overall Favorite Game (Top 3 if you have to)
S3&K. Lot's of levels, different routes to take, a storyline that could be understood with no dialogue... it's perfect.
5) Favorite Boss/Villian
Eggman's always been awesome. Both Bristow and Pollock have done amazing jobs as him. The SA2 Shadow was also cool.
6) Favorite Plot
The Death Egg saga that carried over from STH2 to S3&K. How that thing kept surviving is beyond me, and finally taking it down in S&K was quite satisfying.
7) Favorite Gamestyle
Sonic's simple "Get to the goal ring". I like SA's treasure hunting, though.
8 ) Favorite Platform (Which you most commonly use(d))
I play mega collection on the gamecube along with the adventure games, so that.
9) Favorite Secondary Character (Chaotix, Babylon Rouges, Maginaryworld characters, etc.)
Eh... Chaotix, I guess.
10)Favorite Attack
The Bubble shield's bubble bounce from earlier games. For those of us who didn't understand the Barrel of Doom, that was our ace in the hole.
1) Fav. Character
Tails hands down. Blaze is the runner up. Omega is on par with Blaze.
2) Fav. Stage
Death Egg from Sonic and Knux. Emperor Palpatine would be so proud.
3) Fav. Era
Hard to say. I like every single one, save for the SEGA Saturn era, where they were too desperate to make something good.
4) Fav. Game
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic and Knux 3, and the first Sonic Adventure.
5) Fav. Boss/Villain
Must I repeat myself? Black Doom. He's the classic "evil alien warlord trying to 'help' Earth".
6) Fav. Plot
Next gen is just too much to think about. Shadow is not official in my book. So, I'd say that Sonic Rush is the best.
7) Fav. Gamestyle
2D and 3D. I just don't care about the gameplay, as long as the goal is nothing ridiculous (get to the balloon!....what the hell?)
Fav. Platform
Dude, I'm a guy who likes high tech stuff. Whadda ya think?
9)Fav. Secondary character
Uhh....Wave is hot.....Espio has that "I'm a ninja, stay away" thing about him....Big needs more attention.
10) Fav. Attack
Okaaaaay...if they ever showed the "Final Egg Blaster", it'd be that. But, seeing as how they didn't, I'd say that big a$$ laser that Chaos shoots from his mouth.
1) Favourite Character: Tough one... Knuckles. Because, he was a great rival to Sonic.
2) Favourite Zone/Level/Action Stage: Too many. Either Star Light Zone or Lost World. Lost World had a very epic feel. And Star Light Zone is just such a nice place to be.
3) Favourite Era: Mega Drive Era. The Saturn Era was all about Traveller's Tales, Dreamcast was alright, The only real highlight (for me) was Riders. The Mega Drive Era set the (seemingly) impossible high bar. I'd doubt it is impossible but they are making a meal of things at the moment.
4) Overall Favourite Game:
(1) Sonic 3 & Knuckles: The culmination of some 4 years of work and development.
(2) Sonic 2: Still brilliant.
(3) Sonic Adventure: So far the best 3D Sonic game. Adventure 2 might have tightened up the controls and improved the graphics but it lost a lot of the charm from Adventure.
5) Favourite Boss/Villain: Dr Eggman: Yes, he has lost every single round with a 3 foot tall, flea riddled blue hedgehog, and has been used as a way of making his creations/discoveries become more threatening. But he is still the main reason we play Sonic games.
6) Favourite Plot: Adventure 1.
7) Favourite Game style: I've had a soft spot for the Gamma style shooting. But classic Sonic style get from A to B, as fast as possible / find the best route is the best.
8 ) Favourite Platform: I luff mai Dreamcast.
9) Favourite Secondary Character: Espio and Vector.
10)Favourite Attack: Metal Sonic's Black Shield. A bit defensive though.
1) Favorite Character
Vector, with Tails a close #2
2) Favorite Zone/Level/Action Stae
Probably Star Light Zone, when considering music, overall design, and theme, but there's a lot to choose from.
3) Favorite Era ("Genesis Era (Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, etc)", "Saturn Era (Sonic R, Sonic Jam, Sonic 3-D Blast)" "Dreamcast Era(SA, SA2, Sonic Shuffle)", "Gamecube Era(Battle, DX, Mega Collection, Riders etc)" "Next Gen Era(Sonic the Hedgehog)"
Genesis
4) Overall Favorite Game (Top 3 if you have to)
S3&K
5) Favorite Boss/Villian
Eggman
6) Favorite Plot
S3&K for doing so much and getting me so involved without dialog
Sonic Adventure 2 for occasional humor or that awesome scene where Eggman jettisons Sonic into space
7) Favorite Gamestyle
Team gameplay, with customizable teams, in a huge multibranching level where you can frequently choose totally different parts of the level to play as a whim, and switch between the paths ocassionally. The level would have few pits, and any high track or platform areas would be optional paths so that falling just sends you to the lower paths, where there are less bonuses. No single character/team can reach everything due to abilities unlocking paths. Lots of enemies, some one-hits, some more powerful, you can either skip, or fight in miniboss-like battles, also on a whim. Oh and Gamma-style shooting to some degree on at least one character.
So a combo of Sonic 2, S3&K, and Sonic Heroes
8 ) Favorite Platform (Which you most commonly use(d))
GameCube
9) Favorite Secondary Character (Chaotix, Babylon Rouges, Maginaryworld characters, etc.)
Chaotix, especially Espio and Vector
10)Favorite Attack
Vector's power boost
Sonic's insta-shield and the S3&K shield attacks
1) Favorite Character
Has to be a tie between Sonic & Metal Sonic (most probably the former of the two being my fave!)
2) Favorite Zone/Level/Action Stae
Speed Highway or Lava Reef
3) Favorite Era ("Genesis Era (Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, etc)", "Saturn Era (Sonic R, Sonic Jam, Sonic 3-D Blast)" "Dreamcast Era(SA, SA2, Sonic Shuffle)", "Gamecube Era(Battle, DX, Mega Collection, Riders etc)" "Next Gen Era(Sonic the Hedgehog)"
Needless to say, Mega Drive era!

4) Overall Favorite Game
If we talking Sonic game I've wasted the most time on, S3&K.
5) Favorite Boss/Villian
Eggy. No doubt.
6) Favorite Plot
Sonic Adventure. Everyone had their own seperate story to deal with, with all of them intertwining, and then finishing together.
7) Favorite Gamestyle
SA/SA2 Sonic/Shadow. Just aim for the goal ring.
8 ) Favorite Platform
Mostly my Gamecube, because as I said to answer 3, it's got almost everything from all the previous ones anyway.
9) Favorite Secondary Character
Heavy and Bomb. No doubt.
10)Favorite Attack
The spindash. It's a staple of the Sonic series, and one of the most original moves to hit gaming.

10) Favorite Attack: Light Speed Dash

I have a hard time deciding for favorite characters. ._. I pretty much like them all. But rather than not saying anything I say Sonic, because he's the one that started it all.
2) Favorite Zone/Level/Action Stage
Hmm.. Sky Base from Sonic 1 for the Master System. An awesome concept and also the debut of the flying fortress type of stages. Sky Deck is also a personal favorite.
I also like ancient ruins zone a lot.
3) Favorite Era
Genesis/Master System.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles kept me hours and hours at it, I played it over and over many times.. My first couple of Sonic games for the Master System, Sonic Battle and Sonic Adventure get special mention as well.

Chaos is my favourite villain, though as a boss.. hmm.. I really can't choose, any of the Genesis games.
6) Favorite Plot
Sonic Battle, Sonic Adventure and Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Running around, without being forced to go uberfast due to a clock limit (I HATE you A Emblems) and exploring around, looking for goodies.
Favorite Platform
PC.
9) Favorite Secondary Character
Chaotix. Charmy and Vector especially.
10)Favorite Attack
Shadow's 2nd special attack in Sonic Battle, the one that creates a giant purple orb around you. That thing always made me and my brother go "whoa o_O"
