@@Prince_Icarus Of course. Metal Sonic thinks he is superior to Sonic because he thinks Sonic is just a cheap copy of himself. But Shadow is the so-called "ultimate lifeform", so it would just be illogical to think he's superior to that.
Gotta say, I miss games like this. Especially the attention to detail. They literally stop time after using their Team Blast evident by the clock literally stopping. That’s like the coolest thing to me.
Funny how despite Sonic being his mortal arch enemy, Eggman (or in this case Metal) still take Shadow and team Dark more seriously. I mean Shadow won't let them off with just a moral about the power of friendship and a "don't do that again".
I didn’t realize until I was older the reason Team Dark levels I died the most on was because they are basically the hard mode of the game (or very hard)
Great job! It was so hard getting an A rank on this level took me so long but you did AWESOME! I wasn't aware of all the shortcuts on this level. Great video!
If im being completely honest. Final Fortress in Team Dark mode is hard af, i mean yeah sure Team Dark is basically Hard Mode of the game, but this is beyond hard. I died over 20 times as of recently and 18 of them were either things that came out of nowhere unpredictably, the large knockback from getting hit, the short timed fly guage for rouge, or me slipping and falling everytime i press the b button using Omega in those damned hammer egg pawns
Say if some of you don’t know. I found out what the Final Fortress is. Is A Giant Whale Shark Shaped Battle Flagship. So maybe it is a Star Dreadnought like Ship.
From what I experimented by playing a this level recently, the lasers seem to appear based on where your position is, like triggers in specific points of the rails, so it's best to go slower in that part, that way the first laser disappears and you have time to switch rails before you get to the trigger for the second laser
Egg Fleet and Final Fortress are probably some of the funnest sonic levels in history. The fact that the game made these levels actually hard as the final levels, in comparison to games that succeeded it. Yeah, you have the hard mode, but it’s a pretty bullshit mode to actually get (all A ranks)
I find it weird that just like how It gives you the full level of Bullet Station, they tell you how many laser cannons are in this level in the Team Dark story, unlike the Team Sonic story!
If it weren't for the broken controls and a few glitches, this level would've been less hard. Also, how can you beat this level in almost 7 minutes but my time was 12-13 minutes long and I still haven't beaten this level yet! 🤯😒
Getting the A rank is actually really easy for each team. Like for team sonic it took me 12 minutes and i ended with 0 rings but still got the a rank because the amount of points needed are so generous that you just need to explore the level and kill anything you see and you’ll be fine. The issue is everything in one go. Because if u die at any point, your score will reset
For some reason I always thought This as a safer level than Egg Fleet(which is the kinda “Act1” of this “sky High” levels while Final Fortress is Act2)…
2:33 Yaknow what? I was tripping out that you didn’t use Team Blast at 1:24, then I saw that you used Chaos Control’s 10 seconds to get past where the door’s meant to shut. I’ll happily tip my hat to that. 5:06 HAHAHAHA, oh that couldn’t have worked out any better! 6:21 *”IMMA FIRIN’ MAH-“* No you ain’t.
Im glad I'm my own person so I can say these games fing rocked, and all this dark age Bs can bite me. It's not ALL good, but damn did y'all need to take a chill pill.
this stage is literally trash. Full of bs mechanics and buggy platforming. I died 12 times and all at least 11 of them were from something i literally could not predict at all.
I lost my last life on the final stretch of rails because of how inconsistent grind stepping in I don't hate this game, but anyone who tries to defend the physics hasn't played it in recent memory
I never noticed until now, the lasers actually target you on Team Dark depending on the rails your on.
Team Sonic and Chaotix was freestyled.
Somethin' Buggin' You yeah I was like why is it aiming at me
Even the level itself knows this is the team that's an actual threat
@@jamainegardner4193so in a way this means Metal Sonic doesn’t see Sonic as a threat?
@@Prince_Icarus sonic's the threat, Metal doesn't care about his teammates though
@@Prince_Icarus Of course. Metal Sonic thinks he is superior to Sonic because he thinks Sonic is just a cheap copy of himself. But Shadow is the so-called "ultimate lifeform", so it would just be illogical to think he's superior to that.

"Wait a minute. I can't die! The Shadow fans need me!"
'tis but a scratch
@@Codefan321 A scratch?! Your arms off!
@@superspeedbros2422 No it isn't :P
@@F1areon What’s that, then?
@@superspeedbros2422 ...I've had worse.
Gotta say, I miss games like this. Especially the attention to detail. They literally stop time after using their Team Blast evident by the clock literally stopping. That’s like the coolest thing to me.
Fun fact: if time and space are frozen after using team blast you can stop it early by pressing the z button as the gauge is restarting.
Is it just me or is there like a 500% increase difficulty in this level compared to other Team Dark levels
And Team Dark in super hard mode... help.
WHEN I REACH THE LAST LASER IT BLEW ME AND I RESTART THE WHOLE GAME AND I BREAK THE THE JOYSTICK
Did you even touch a checkpoint? or are there none
James Sotoya even if you touch a chekpoint...you only have 3lives and they can easly be lost
Adnane Azami Which version of the game were you playing?
00:47 I always loved how pissed off shadow sounded when he leveled up
"Level up, ugh"
Daion Carroll he doesnt say ugh, wdym?
@@bigman7284 meh
"Fantastic. A fucking level up."
Omega: Four laser cannons detected!
Shadow: Four lasers, what a waste!
Rouge: Total of twelve lasers. Better stay frosty!
3:11 Ooooh! Great recovery!
dude that's word-for-word what i thought!
Nice recovery! @ (3:11) I would've have fallen off but you kept on going like a pro
5:47
Omega: "Imcoming! Yellow Laser!"
Gets zapped!
Ahahahahah so funny lol xD
im feeling a bit uneasy TIME TO ATTACK
the coolest thing shadow ever said
I will never get bored of this level
Music is so beautiful.
Funny how despite Sonic being his mortal arch enemy, Eggman (or in this case Metal) still take Shadow and team Dark more seriously. I mean Shadow won't let them off with just a moral about the power of friendship and a "don't do that again".
Proves the shadow is more powerful than sonic
"Perfect as always!"
This stage should have be on Sonic Generations but they did'nt included. A 2D version of this stage would have been so much fun
+NeoKurow Agreed.
NeoKurow But hard to recreate, because of all the grind rails, enemies and it being fully 3D. Not to mention the level is 8 to 10 minutes or so.
They are probably gonna put a lot of fans.
This is an act 2 stage + calling it Final Fortress on the 6/9th level
Here is hoping it's in Shadow Generations.
OK, but this theme goes undeniably hard
I didn’t realize until I was older the reason Team Dark levels I died the most on was because they are basically the hard mode of the game (or very hard)
Great job! It was so hard getting an A rank on this level took me so long but you did AWESOME! I wasn't aware of all the shortcuts on this level. Great video!
OMG this level was SO HARD
Handsaw [ESK] Pffff. Too easy for me.
Shadow Ultimate99 it's team Dark, it's SUPPOSED to be hard
Tbh, I love Heroes more than SA2.........
*Runs Away*
MARIO SONIC same here
Same but sa2 good asf
You may be right.
Sonic heroes = SA3?
++++

90% of the times I died was because of fall death
Is it me, or does Rouge sound cuter than ever in this? 😁♥️
I didn't even know you could get an A rank with such little points. Good show!
Lol, first time to see a pro gamer to lose rings at 3:09-3:12! xD No offence SonicJGB
Uneasiness = The time to strike.
Video game logic everyone!!
I’m feeling a bit uneasy. Time to attack!
I thought that battleship was big, but this is enormous!
Eggman's headquarters detected! Destruction mode engaged!
Anxiety in a level
hell in a level
5:06 GLITCH DETECTED!
Burst Flare That is because of the Team Blast. It stopped time.
Tornado Jump possible but should be impossible.
I was trying to go for the last Chaos Emerald with Team dark and I raged soooooo much on this level
Thats why you get the emeralds with Team Rose.
Or chaotix, I think it's much easier
@@mavory243 honestly chaotix might be my favorite of the 4 styles
Say if some of you don’t know. I found out what the Final Fortress is. Is A Giant Whale Shark Shaped Battle Flagship. So maybe it is a Star Dreadnought like Ship.
fuck this level fuck this level fuck this level fuck this level fu-
3:05 how the hell is anyone supposed to avoid that without taking damage/dying? There's no time to switch rails
Emm.... starting on left or right rail would do a trick since on team Dark those lasers are locked onto you automatically
From what I experimented by playing a this level recently, the lasers seem to appear based on where your position is, like triggers in specific points of the rails, so it's best to go slower in that part, that way the first laser disappears and you have time to switch rails before you get to the trigger for the second laser
god i hate this level. it just doesn't know when to stop

I find it weird that just like how It gives you the full level of Bullet Station, they tell you how many laser cannons are in this level in the Team Dark story, unlike the Team Sonic story!
How the heck did I get an A ranking when I spent 19 minutes on this level?
Probably got a lot of points on it.
Getting no extra score from time doesn't matter if you already have the score for an a
+Tyshon Hall Actually , it's "worthless consumer models" . He means the Eggman robots .
6:02 Time to learn about colors part 2
Fun Fact: I was today years old when I found out that you can press Z to cancel time being frozen after team darks team blast
no one else notice shadow edgy as hell does a dab 5:57
eric green That dab was worth it. Also, Shadow isn't edgy until Shadow the (H)edgehog. Before that he was just a confused hedgehog.
That wasn't a dab. Hell, that didn't exist, back in 2003.
omg lol yes
If it weren't for the broken controls and a few glitches, this level would've been less hard.
Also, how can you beat this level in almost 7 minutes but my time was 12-13 minutes long and I still haven't beaten this level yet! 🤯😒
Who else is here because of Game Grumps talking about Sonic Heroes Speedrunners?
If Arin watched this I can’t imagine he’d sleep well that night

Thanks to this level both my GameCube controller and my Wii have learned how to fly
“He underestimated us thinking that would do the job.”

3:11
When your heart is fragile...
SonicJGB: sike!
I was so proud i was doing good in this one until the lasers at the end, i keep having trouble with that last big one
I always get a B rank in this level with team dark.
Yknow imma gonna real quick say that I love playing sonic heroes
But I suck at it sometimes when it comes to A ranks
nice ...you play like a pro
This level will force you to use team blast when you're not ready
5:06 lol an invisible pole
6:49 Perfect as always.
Honestly, i prefer this game over Sonic Adventure 2
This might be the hardest sonic level I have ever completed.
For some reason I always thought This as a safer level than Egg Fleet(which is the kinda “Act1” of this “sky High” levels while Final Fortress is Act2)…
5:19 press the team blast button again so you don't have to wait
How do you grind fast
Press B and move the control stick forward
3:08 I bet you got real anxious here
5:07
Huh, so I guess the coding activates for the pole even in stopped time.
I just now got an A rank on this level team dark
By all sonic heroes missions final fortress had to be my most favourite mission ever
3:09 HOW DID YOU LIVE?!
2:33 Yaknow what? I was tripping out that you didn’t use Team Blast at 1:24, then I saw that you used Chaos Control’s 10 seconds to get past where the door’s meant to shut. I’ll happily tip my hat to that.
5:06 HAHAHAHA, oh that couldn’t have worked out any better!
6:21 *”IMMA FIRIN’ MAH-“* No you ain’t.
Final Fortress Dark
3:08 when she puts you on read and then later answers with sorry I was busy
HOW DID HE DO THAT? 5:04
This level is the reason sonic had a rough transition into 3-D.
This was the 3rd 3D Sonic and one of the best ones at that.
@@DiggitySlice I know it’s the 3rd game. I was making a joke about how bad I think this level is.
Amazing
thanks
3:09 I would have been so pissed
3:11 wha wha whaaaaaaat how did you do that?
Im glad I'm my own person so I can say these games fing rocked, and all this dark age Bs can bite me. It's not ALL good, but damn did y'all need to take a chill pill.
5:06 WITCHCRAFT!

yeah he did!
I hate this level so much
Completed x2 120As
And superhard mode

this stage is literally trash. Full of bs mechanics and buggy platforming. I died 12 times and all at least 11 of them were from something i literally could not predict at all.

PS2 version
Brandon Rische You 0lay the PS2 version? I feel horrible for you.....
Gameplayer 119 "0lay" and its not really bad, ive been playing it for 4 years
It’s not bad it’s awful
sucks.
I've only played the PS2 Version what's the difference to the other versions?
Worst stage ever
