Sonictober 2026: Day 15: Favorite Level

My theme for today was Favorite Level. And I specifically wanted to do my favorite not boss fight level. After I added that prompt to my list, I had to think for a moment “What is my favorite Sonic level?”, because there are so many that I enjoy. After a little bit of consideration, I concluded that it’s probably Capital City from Sonic Forces. I like it because it’s an important point of the game’s story—specifically, your custom hero’s story. The Resistance is launching a massive counterattack on Eggman’s forces, but Infinite shows up, and basically makes the whole plan fall apart. The whole city’s all messed up by his illusions, and the Resistance is being picked off. But, at the end of the level, your hero reaches Infinite, and then they have to face their fears, and fight him, because they have no other choice. It’s really good! Even though the Infinite boss fight after this level is very hard, because I can’t stop standing in the red cubes of death. As a World of Warcraft player, who does dungeons and raids sometimes, I often joke that I have a tendency of “standing in the fire” during all three of the Infinite fights.

On this drawing, I drew my Sonic OC, Raven, again. She’s got her Lightning Wispon out (because that’s my favorite weapon in the game). And I had to include one of those freaky Infinite-snake things, because they’re everywhere in this level. I often call them the “Spaghetti Monsters”, because, if last Sonictober didn’t make that clear enough, I sometimes get rather hyper while playing especially this game.
