Sonic CD would be my favorite of the series. Probably the best platformer I've ever played.
Smoothly animated, large sprites. Great music.
I like all of the other 2D games, with Triple Trouble being a particular favorite of mine (I'm a Nack the Weasel fan). It's a shame Sega never released a 2D original Sonic game for the Saturn. With that things sprite rendering, the game would have at least looked phenomenal.
On the 3D front, I never could get into the Sonic Adventure games (never really got into 3D platformers). I did enjoy Sonic R on the Saturn, though it is a bit short. Still, it's my favorite 3D Sonic game, unless you count the 3D bonus stage from Sonic CD, which is epic.
I enjoyed the cartoon alright, though it was never a must watch. I did subscribe to the comic book back in 1997-98. Good comic, but I had to spend my money on other things...
The only platform character I may like better than Sonic is Bonk, who never got the credit he deserved for being in an excellent series of platformers.
