That moment where you realize you were doing the last room completely wrong for a month and you finally figure it out. This brought it all back.
Ugh. This stage was so stupid..
To be honest, this wouldn't even be the worst stage at all to me if it weren't for ONE THING: The light speed dash and the bounce bracelet being on the same button.. >_>
This was actually my favorite level in the game, and it's probably my favorite sonic game...
I can see how it's your favorite level. It's fast paced, long, and the gimmicks are really cool.. It's just the button assignment that replaces the fun with frustration for me. :
The stage is not that much hard actually, it's just this last section can get you stuck for a long time 'till you figure out what to do...
***** Yeah, exactly. Because there's one linear way to go through, and you have to figure it out first.
That last damn part was the bane of my existence. That was before I played Mad Space for the first time.
Screw this level.
Honest to god this level sucks near the goddamn fucking end I got stuck on a spring
I love how this stage was sort of a tribute to Chemical Plant Zone, with the toxic liquid and the long tubes you have to go in.
I remember playing this back in 2002, I was so stuck on this level it took me like forever to get out of that stupid room. We were going to see phantom of the opera lol and the whole day I tried to figure it out in my head lol
***** I actually figured out a long time ago how to escape it. to the left of the platform where the goal is, I made a long jump to the left platform. geez I can't remember how i did it. Oh now I remember. I jumped on the gravity switch, and hit the switch. and then long jumped back to the platform with the goal. It worked well.
3:16
that room used to be hell for me.
and that "You'll never make it out of this room alive!! Ha, HA!!!" didn't help much either.
ok this is the fourth mission to get done before the hard mode of this level well done man! and i mean the guy who made this vid.
One of my favorite stages in SA2. Glad to see another fan giving it all they've got. Especially in some of the insane moments.
*and Mega Man V, can never forget that stage.
lol Omochao at the end XD
and this was awesome your great i could probably
never even finish it in under 5 mins....mabey 10 or 11 but not five lol your gr8t!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This stage is an nightmare in the beginning.. Anyway, nicely done, I subscribe too you!
"Sonic, if you don't hurry she WILL die..!!"
@CyperMeowth I love how ridiculously evil this stage is sooooooooooooooo much. Blocking the goal ring with an instant death field and making the missile activation switch hidden in a labyrinth of floating 3D platforms and gravity puzzles is probably one of the more creative ideas they've had for a Sonic stage.
I remember when I played this on my dreamcast I was stuck on this level for over a month.
Holy... Freakin... God! It's like Sonic is on steroids and Eggman's pissed him off! Nicely done!(Even I couldn't get this mission done that fast!)
I always loved how if you fuck around too much in this level Eggman yells at you to get your ass moving.
I hated this mission the first time I didn't understand it, but now that I dominate it, I love it.
Oh the rage quits from this level.. XD Thank you very much. :3
Wooow, that last moment was pretty scary. I thought you were going to jump off the platform there!
Wow, that was pretty good!!!
when i really thought about it... this is the main reason i became a sonic fan, for this sonic adventure, and sonic 3 & knuckles combined
best games ever
The Ancient Light is what the power up is called. It's found in Green Forest. There's guides on how to get it here on CZcams as well as many helpful guides on GameFAQs.
I remember when only my friend had a gamecube over at his house along with this game. I made a file on one of his memory cards and started blazing through it everytime we were over...except for this stage. This stage was a biatch the first 15 times I played through, then comes the colored block room. I got stuck every time around 3:54-3:56 because I was too oblivious at the time to realize you had to jump down. Once I found out I shit bricks. Ah, Memories. :)
I remember when i was upside down tried to grind on the rail missed the entire thing fell right into that acid stuff on the ceiling
i keep on falling at 3:20. thx for the upload. i think i can do it this time.
I love how clever this level was.
But, yeah, Final Rush is harder.
This level was tight but also flustrating. Dude the music is cool
this video helped me complete the stage on ps3 easily. i hadn't beat it since gamecube and i don't remember how long ago. last part was always hard!
This is arguably one of my most hated videogame stages EVER. God this brings back the bad memories of trying to beat it when i was younger.
I can't wait to get this game again, when I was 11 years old, I couldn't beat this level for the life of me.
i decided that i'm going to get the game back, and i'm going to follow your steps in each stage you played. because your pretty good! and i think i'm good... good enough to copy you. lol. ok, i'm kidding... i just going to use these stages as a.. guide, because actually i've finished the game but not fully.
imo this is the best of sonic's levels
I hated this level because I would always have the Magnetic Shield and the long line of rings you had to dash from killed me
Perfect sync with the music at 2:57
thanks a lot i was getting lost in that level!
I was expecting Omochao to say "I can't believe you clear the satge with me."
I love this stage because it is a challenge c:
This is my favorite level! It reminds me of the older Sonic games that emphasized heavy platforming as well as holding the D-Pad in one direction and watching the magic happen while you're having an ice-cold brew.......lol
When omochao says "This looks like a game i've seen before", he's talking about tetris.
Reversing gravity's always a pain... XD It was even annoying in Mega Man 5! XD It's very disorienting... XD
2:58 was perfectly in tune with the music
So glad others find harder levels more fun then the "walk in the park" type of levels.
I never know when one of the gravity pillars are going to decide to be unfriendly, glitch up, and send me to my death...
LOL?
This is my favorite level in SA2.
Just wanted to say awesome vid and I agree about the "on something"
Thanks really helped me
Immaculate level design right here. There's no game like it. Forever, SA2
hahah
at the end you grabbed omochao
oooh, how i used to have fun with that...thing :)
this has always been my favorite sonic level for some reason
"I only tend to use a couple shortcuts as I like my points, and I play the stage the way that feels the most fun to me."
True, very true, i do like to play that way too
i obviously needed a refresher lol
I loved throwing the little blue choas^^
Lol nice run. I never knew that the Metal Chao had a comment when you finish the game with him. I thought at first you accidently picked him up. It was all happening to quickly.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
@extartus, yeah. Omochao was referring to Tetris, cause the colored blocks look like the Tetris blocks.
Ooohhh, okay, I see now, I guess this is where they got the whole base concept for "Mario Galaxy" ~
i remember a little trick i did for the colored block part of this place
i'd start off at the purple block with gravity going up then go all the way right and jump to land on the red block take a left and go to regular gravity back to purple block go to the right on the side and hit the switch then a homing attack(wait a little to homing attack or else ull fall or go back to the start) to the final platform with the goal
Gravity is quite disturbing for me in this stage. But I liked the general design of the space colony (especially when you come in as eggman for the first time).
Nice job, sonic would proud.
I finally beat this level with your ivdeo!
oh man of all the old level names, this was the easiest one to remember... took me so long to figure out the gravity parts in this level this was SO HARD
YES! Thats exactly what ive been doing! Thanks!!!
I could never pass this level 8 years ago, but I find it pretty easy when I play it now. I personally love this level; the gravity changes are really clever.
i beat this level very easily, but i gotta admit: this is one of the most difficult stages i've ever played in my entire life... Especially the last part, when all the controls suddenly get inverted, and that can make you screw everything... however, with some experience, as you said, this level can be much more easier than expected
man i loved this stage. when ever i ran into those floating head things at 1:20 i would do what he or she who is playing did. charge up the ancient light thing and just watch my screen spazz out
thanks this help alot
Why is it that I feel like I'm one of the few people who find this stage...easy? Heck, even hard mode.
This is my favorite stage in the game, as well as my favorite song (excluding theme songs).
@Pyro25100, I sucked then during my first playthrough.
Because during my first run, this was the only stage that managed to give me about 5 gameovers. I kept trying to rush through the stage and kept messing up because I kept thinking that if I didnt hurry, a cutscene would play where Eggman shot Amy in the face.
it took me forever and a day to get to the colored structures outside, then it took me forever and a week to get past that part!
omg!
This level pissed me off so much when I first played it. It took probably one hour, maybe even more, for me to finally figure it out.
1:20 That... is so. Cool.
This stage tortured me the first time I played it. It took a lot of tries before I could put together a run good enough for an A-Rank.
That move is badass.
*continued*
6.Bounce off of the gravity switch to hit the missile switch
7.Then jump off of the gravity switch and and spin dash and jump over to the platform where the missile is.Fire the missile to get rid of the goo and you have cleared the stage.
I hope this helps
@CyperMeowth My main problem was how the bounce was on the same button as the light dash, so I always died at those parts.
So useful
Eggman: Well done Sonic, but I doubt you will make it through this room alive, Ha HA!
Me: Fuck you, Eggman.
Finished the level before seeing this video!
IM BADASS!
This games was fun, had good story line and some hard ass stuff to get through...good thing this going to be on ps3 and 360 by the end of summer of fall.
in a kids childhood colorful blocks are suposed to be fun and creative. these colorful blocks only caused my childhood pain...
This is in Mario and Sonic at the London Olympic Games as a dream event for trampoline :D
So excited when I beat this level when I was 10, that I immediately called my mom and told her the good news
Hey can someone help me. At 2:10 when i try to break those metal boxes, i can't. I've tried EVERYTHING. is there something i have to get and if there is, what is it?
please help me
Crazy Gadget describes the whole lvl pretty well.
One day when i was getting ready to play this level and when i went to this stage on the select one the first mission it said that my best time was 2 seconds.No joke! It actually says that.
@chocoboy02 Same can be said for 3:26 being perfectly in tune with the music.
this was actually the first level in the whole game that was a challenge for me. the rest were a breeze.
Wow, now I can see where they got those colored pathways in Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. :D
I personally think it originated in Lost World in SA1 with the anti-gravity panels, but the space idea is definitely from this level. :P
ZOMG thanks for this
Whoops forgot to say light speed dash is a hidden powerup in green forest
Crazy Gadget 2001: Race against the clock to stop the Doc's Laser Cannon and Rescue Amy.
Crazy Gadget 2012: Let's build a Giant Trampoline here in this Giant Death Laser Satellite where Prof. Gerald went insane, many people were killed, and a mass gov't conspiracy occured. Screw the Grim History of this place. We'll call it Dream Trampoline and it'll be a big spectator event for everyone.
Man... I played this SO much that I had this stage down to a science. At 0:26 in stead of using that switch i would do a spindash/jump combo and land in the next room, instead of taking the lifts I would jump to the next room. I can't remember my best time but it would be awesome if they brought this game to current gen so we could share times online.
it took me like a week and a half to get through this! you make it look sooo easy. that part at the end was a real bitch!
aw I loved that part.
The final room in this stage was so complicated as a kid that I had to cheat by skipping three coloured boxes just to complete it, great game though.
