Surely, us wise men can figure out the solution! Yes, just as well as ostriches face their problems head first rather than diving their heads into the ground, we can find out the solution!

I hope that this topic actually gets some voter diversity.

Obviously the answer is whatever I think it is.

3 is good. It's just above 2 but still not as much as 4.

I like myself some √(-1), yes

Now explain to me how that would work in essay format, shadow.

I voted 2, but obviously we need π acts.

I personally think 3 is the best, but I was drawn to vote for the imaginary number.

Three acts in a Zone was too damn long. Two, FTW.

S3&K did it best. Two acts, but each one is different enough to stand alone while sharing the same theme.

Then again, Sonic Rush Adventure had all those mini acts that were short but challenging.

Who voted nine? I demand justification damnit!

Ten. If only for having ten different versions of the same level music and nine minibosses. *shot*

0 acts, make the sonic game one long cutscene

4

And only water levels =D

Now why not 6,7, and 8?

WHY NOT INDEED!?

Sonic CD had, like, 10 zones per themed stage:

Zone 1 Past
Zone 1 Present
Zone 1 Bad Future
Zone 1 Good Future
Zone 2 Past
Zone 2 Present
Zone 2 Bad Future
Zone 2 Good Future
Zone 3 Bad Future
Zone 3 Good Future

Now, imagine going through all that in a linear playthrough.

That's crazy talk psx. This is a discussion of rationality.

Rationality? In the SPA? Surely, you jest.

No one explains. it's as if they are choosing the most impractical answer just to be comedic.

Actually I chose 4 because of that mod (extended edition I think) for sonic one that gives 3 acts and then a 4th boss act. }=D

AN ACT JUST FOR A BOSS? SURELY YOU JEST!

2

I am suprised jitti hasn't derailed the topic yet.

5 Acts.

Two Normal Sonic 3-style acts, MiniBoss between them. Boss Chase (Sonic Advance 2 Style). Third act / Gimmick stage. Multi-Stage Boss.

First two actus are identical in look, but have slgiht changes. (In Angel Island zone, Act one focused on moving forward and some platforming, while Act two had many altitude changes and some backtracking.)

Third act would either differ in looks, or change the mechanics of the game somewhat. (Ice cap zone's snowbarding intro, but longer).

Multi-stage boss would either be straightforward or Puzzle-style.

I have reasons.

I am suprised jitti hasn't derailed the topic yet.

I had already posted.

But you didn't post a youtube video causing everyone to be distracted.

I'll fill in.

Didn't I ask for an essay young man?

I forgot what I voted for D:

Because you voted for ten, an answer so awesome, it's forgettable.

not as awesome as 17.

The answer is now 17!

IT IS TOO LATE. YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS MISTAKE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

But if I get an extra life... perhaps it is not too late!

It is for poor Ramza. Alas, I knew me well...

Ironically that hack has been cancelled. Poor S1SEE.

Crim! *cries*

Ramza! *Stands shouting and looking perplexed*

Crim, they was the men to the no. 2.
