Sonic Mania. I think I played it too early to understand it's significance. I've played Sonic 1 but still have yet to beat it. And the Sonic racing games.
Yeah, I can see that. Sonic Mania, like Generations, is just a greatest hits of Sonic's past and probably the most well rounded games in terms of quality. Someone who has been with the series for a while is definitely gonna get the most out of those games, but as a newcomer, you're at least experiencing the best the series has to offer.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles and the Adventure games may have more of a coolness factor with their stories and presentation but going back after Mania and Generations might be a little rough. Personally, I'd highly recommend Sonic Lost World which is extremely underrated.

That takes me back to Sonic & Knuckled cartridge that opened at the top and let you put Sonic 2 & 3 in it so you could play Knux in both games. I admit I miss stuff like that.

I do too. The closest things I can think of that are similar to that in recent times would be transferable save data between games like how Spider-Man: Edge of Time allowed you to carry over costumes from Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and more recently, Tears of the Kingdom let you carry over your horse data from Breath of the Wild. Wish that kind of stuff was more common.

Sonic Lost World is the best Sonic game imo. Second has to go to Unleashed.

It would have been neat to carry over Botw arms and armor into Totk. It would have given incentive for people to play Botw before Totk.

In a way Sonic X Shadow kinda feels like the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge, same for Sonic Generations, but what would be neat is to get to play Shadow in place of Sonic through Adventure 1, imagine the Master of Chaos Control fighting Perfect Chaos! :)
