Not really. I think you could play 2 without playing 1, there may be some story elements that are further explained by playing 1 though.

For example, Tails winning the yellow Chaos Emerald as a prize for saving Station Square in 1.

There isn't really much of a connection between any of the sonic games so you can basically play them in any order.

Gameplay wise, I would probably start with Adventure 1 first before playing Adventure 2. The former is much more beginner friendly and isn't as punishing when it comes to mistakes as the ranking system wasn't introduced yet and several play styles that feature in both games are easier to work with in the first game such as Knuckles having a more accurate radar that locates all three emerald shards at once instead of just one at a time and Gamma having a very generous time limit as opposed to a health bar.

2 is better, but also more difficult.

You dont have to play them in order, but 1 being so casual friendly makes it a good tutorial.

And there are some small plot elements that get referenced in 2. So if you don't play 1 before, they'll just make you confused.

3K happening directly after 2 ends with no pause in between, SA1 already expecting you to know 3K for Knuckles things and also mentions CD, SA2 having small references to SA1 that get used later (minor spoilers), Heroes being intentionally lighter still has direct continuity with SA2, Shadow's game being a direct sequel to Heroes and meant to take things from SA2...............

The series does have continuity, even in the original games. But how frequent it is varies since a lot of them are standalone, and some of it can be very messy like the 2006 game trying to retcon a character backstory but it didnt work out well in the end. And it doesnt help that for a good 10 years, they couldnt care less about trying with cutscenes until very recently. Just a whole lot of nothing or consistently poor versions of the characters from Colors to Forces.
