I was generally impressed with the game when it came and still am. Very, very solid production values with an immaculate attention to detail. It's one of those games that just makes you feel good to play. The SNES update was also great, and though I've yet to experience it in its full glory, even Mario 64 was supposed to be outstanding.
The game also did a good job of appealing to women, and the cute and cuddly graphics no doubt put parents' mind at ease. Yet, somehow it was acceptable for even "tough guys" to play it. The whole appeal of Sonic was to try to challenge that; Sonic was the Rolling Stones to Nintendo's Beatles.
Heheh, not to forget Great Giana Sisters!
