Radical highway act 2 should just be retconned into westopolis

this is peak and tai lung was the best because of kick

It trash

I'm Italian and the name "Jodellavitanonhocapitouncazzo" means "I don't understand a fucking thing about life"

I wanted sky troops or westopolis from shadow 05 so bad. Potentially cosmic fall as well

A ninjas rage was definitely my favorite! 2025 here we go!

If I add to pick some levels to add, I'd personally pick these ones... -Prison Island (because this is where Gerald Robotnik was kept prisoner after the GUN raid and did his whole plan with the Eclipse Cannon and the Biolizard) -Final Fortress (although I don't know a lot of Sonic Heroes levels so there could be a better choice) -Aquatic Base (because this is where Mephiles was sealed by Shadow) -Mystic Jungle (because this is where Shadow beat Infinite and turned him into the mask wearing Jackal he is) -Cyber Space (no particular reason, I just feel like it would work) -For Shadow 05 I'd make the Doom Zone an amalgamation of Shadow levels, Westopolis for the Space Colony ARK for example, I'd still keep Radical Highway as the last level though. This is what I'd pick, loved your choices a lot & I absolutely agree with the picks for the Black Knight and Colors levels you chose. Good content.

Ah yes Wesopolis, going through it 326 times to 100% the game was something.

Sky Troops is the only Shadow O5 level worth using.

I wish they would've "melded" levels from Shadow 05 with levels from other Sonic Games, for example * Lava Shelter x Eggmanland (Unleashed) * Sky Troops x Lost World (Adventure 1) * Cosmic Fall x Terminal Velocity (Colors)

i think the level that could have worked like, STUPIDLY well with the modern sonic gameplay would have been Sand Oasis from Secret Rings. it pretty much was the proto-3D boost game

Not bad, let's see what's in store for next year

Thank you so much for the shout out that really means a lot to me! Your channel has grown so much this year and I’m proud of you for continuing this channel! Keep it up! Can’t wait to be appearing in more of your videos in 2025!

I didn’t realize this channel has been around for 10 years. Thats incredible! Excited for another year of your videos!

With the movie/Tokyo DLC now out, I feel like we got the closest we could have to a dedicated Shadow (05) stage in the game. The thorough utilization of ground-level/subterranean urban architecture/terrain, helicopter enemies, a heavily 05 influenced GUN Trooper, and the sick Westopolis remix were close enough for me. That being said, Lava Shelter deserves the resurrection before any other stage. The remix would be legendary, the stage gimmicks and set-pieces could be expanded on extremely well, and there'd be a ton of opportunity to utilize the doom powers given how many side tunnels you could reach with Doom Blast, hazards to Doom Surf over, opportunities for lateral movement with Doom Morph, and opportunity for switches/targets for the Doom Spears given how it's an Eggman Facility.

I agree to be honest. I think it replicates the classic Sonic gameplay very well and has its own creative gimmicks in its level designs. I really enjoy it, though it doesn't go crazy with it, but in some ways, it's better than Mania. It's a solid 2D title. Though it's unfortunate how broken it was (and still is), and I've heard people having difficulty spikes, but I've never had an issue, though the bosses can be annoying sometimes. I hope they release a physical soundtrack and continue updating it, though I've heard it didn't sell as well as they wanted. Did this game give Sonic 4 physics and play like it at one point? I'd say it's more like a Sonic 4 Episode 3 than a Mania sequel, but that's not bad. I liked Sonic 4.

My only objection I really have is Ares Island > Chaos Island. Yes, Chaos Island is the worst part of Frontiers, but Rail Canyon and Bullet Station are the desert level of this game. Meanwhile Chaos Island acts more as a Sky/Snow level, is arguably the prettiest of the Starfall Islands, and frankly has the most to offer for Shadow Generations's level design. Ares Island has the floating ruins, but Chaos Island has them, the volcanoes, and the interiors. The big hot take I have for how Shadow Generations *should* have done the stages is that every game except SA2 has a stage on the map, but SA2 as a whole is used for the Black Doom segments. For example, put Sky Rail in Rail Canyon and White Jungle in Sunset Heights. The point of the Radical Highway segments is that Black Doom is trying to force Shadow back into his SA2 mindset to allow him to be taken over, but Shadow was like that the whole game up until the Ark where Amy made him realize the truth. Now, for the list of alternate stages I would choose that are different from yours: Sonic '06: Flame Core -> Radical Train. Unleashed (because Shadow originally was gonna have an appearance in this game, as was Knuckles): Holaska (Cool Edge). Now THIS is a snow level. Plus with Unleashed, Act 1 could be in the Day, while Act 2 is at Night. Colours: Asteroid Coaster -> Aquarium Park. This game doesn't have the same problem Sonic Generations did where Colours is the final level. Therefore I choose the level that works best for potential Doom Power application, and the prettiest looking one at that. Lost World: Sky Road. Of all the Lost World levels, this has to have the most going for it. Best main stage music, a mixture of theming (Wondrous Skies filled with Robo Dragons giving way to sand slides and storms) and some decent level potential. Forces: If not Sunset Heights, then definitely the Null Space level. Uses the two most unique locales and the Null Space Music + Metropolis music would work great. As for my picks if I redid the list from scratch... 1st Level: Space Colony ARK + Radical Highway. Literally perfect opening. Stage 2: Hang Castle/Mystic Mansion + Sky Rail Stage 3: Kingdom Valley Stage 4: Cool Edge Stage 5: Aquarium Park Stage 6: Sky Road / White Jungle Stage 7: Sunset Heights or Null Space. Stage 8: Chaos Island or Rhea Island. Final Stage: Sky Troops or Black Comet

Condideting how tied to the story shadow is to that game im more surprised about the lack of Sonic Battle representation, even with no stage, a Emerl boss/rival fight or even a cutscene would be perfect

My choices would be White Jungle, Hang castle Dusty Desert, shrouded forest, Asteroid coaster, Metropolis, and The last way

They could have had white jungle as the dlc level with a Dreamcast shadow skin.

There no way he said this when I’m one of the biggest Atari fans and Activision was a huge thing with Atari making like 50% of their games, trust me I think I know what it is 1:14

4:57 I feel you but man Hang Castle would have been AMAZING!! Especially the Hang Castle Song

amazing picks for all of these, but if we wanted to add another stage from a game shadow is NOT in, i wouldve picked jungle joyride from unleashed, act 1 being day time, act 2 being sunrise

Stages? How about music I wanted to see the ark from shadow the hedgehog it such a good track

as an italian "Jodellavitanonhocapitouncazzo" is in reality a phrase "Io della vita non ho capito un cazzo" wich translates to "I didn't understood a fuck of life"

the build you can farm about 50k in a squad of 4 in a half hour before every ssd mission (breaking the builds gives you the mats back)

I'll be brutally honest: I think Radical Highway is a better stage to end it on than Westopolis, because Shadow's ties to Black Doom go back much farther than their "first" encounter ingame but the ARK (which, if it wasn't so heavily based on Sonic's Final Rush because White Space is arguably still Eggman's doing with the Time Eater, should've been THE Shadow05 stage imo) is unavailable due to being the starting stage because of the setup to the story (although tbh if it wasn't so Final Rush coded, I would've liked its music to be a triple remix of the many ARK level themes from Shadow05; imagine going from the grandiose The Doom and hard dubstep of The ARK, to the sudden softspoken notes of Lost Impact). Radical Highway is the next best option for this, because it represents what Black Doom *wants* Shadow to be: a destroyer, hellbent on getting revenge on humanity for wronging him (as he mistakenly thought was Maria's promise back in SA2). But I think another candidate that doesn't deserve being so overlooked in that regard is Black Comet, because it's literally where Black Doom and the Black Arms themselves (and thus their DNA within Shadow) comes from. It'd be poetic for Shadow to go to the "source of the problem" to sever that link between him and them once more. Also I disagree that Chaos Island being there means Shadow is gonna visit it, because with White Space being made by the Time Eater under Eggman's control, it is likely supposed to be crafted for Sonic (because Eggman is a petty little sore loser), so even though it's definitely a "future" location, it wasn't meant for Shadow. I think symbolically it's supposed to harken back to Sage being a parallel to Shadow, being connected to the Robotnik family yet struggling with their identity, affronting an embodiment of the apocalypse that was formerly contained by their own hands (The End parallels Mephiles; and just like Shadow sealed Mephiles in 06's events itself, the very Cyberspace that gave Sage her form was The End's prison), and yet finding out their true purpose through interacting with a likeminded friend of Sonic's (for Shadow it was Amy reminding him of Maria, but for Sage, and that explains why specifically Chaos Island, it was Tails backing up his faith in Sonic with past history as evidence), and dying in a noble sacrifice. No comments on the other stages though, your picks are solid. I would argue Egg Fleet is kind of important to Shadow in Heroes because it's where he affirms his opposition to Eggman regardless of whether he's an android or not, but I like the added uniqueness of Mystic Mansion (even though if it were "important" to any character in Heroes imo, it'd probably be Tails instead; and that's really only because we learn he's afraid of ghosts too, which is so low a bar that it shows just how inconsequential that level is to most of the cast. '^^).

Peak, thats what.

I'm fine with the levels until Sonic Forces. They could have used a Shadow 05 level. I liked Lava Shelter or Digital Circuit.

Here are potential DLC levels I'd like to see added to the game. Prison Island Sky Troops Asteroid Coaster Arsenal Pyramid

Final Haunt would'a been better. He meets Doom's Eye in Westopolis, but he MAY canonically meet Doom in the flesh in the endgame on the Black Comet, just like you finally meet him again face to face in the endgame in the Black Moon. He learns the truth about his past & heritage there, & gains the resolve to defeat him there in 2 endings.

I think there is a sliver of hope for the Galaxy series, but not as a Mario game. They could potentially revive it as a Rosalina spinoff, similar to what they did with the likes of Yoshi's Island and Wario Land back in the day. But it's been so long that they might not even do that either.

My personal level order would go like this: Space Colony Ark Rail Canyon Digital Circuit Kingdom Valley White Acropolis White Jungle Sky Troops Chaos Island Egg Fleet Lava Shelter Radical Highway

Honestly, Generations is a game that peters out towards the end with Planet Wisp being an okay at best last stage with only the Egg Dragoon between it and the console Time "It looks like a homing shot!" Eater. My personal remedy to that has always been a final set of levels I dub the Eggman Era: three final zones, one for each era. Classic Era: Scrap Brain Zone (the OG final level, and given what Eggman intended to use the Time Eater for, fitting foreshadowing). Honorable mentions go to Metallic Madness Bad Future (for a proper CD level), and the Sonic & Knuckles version of Death Egg Zone (which has some fun gimmicks to play around with, especially for Modern Sonic) Dreamcast Era: Egg Fleet (in terms of intensity, Egg Fleet feels tailor made for the Hedgehog Engine. Classic Sonic's act could even take cues from Wing Fortress and Flying Battery). Honorable mentions go to Final Egg (being the first of that era), and Final Rush (the finale of the Hero Side story, and, as shown by Shadow Gens' Ark level, could transfer easily to the Hedgehog Engine). Modern Era: Eggmanland (Eggman's dream made manifest, one of the most infamous levels in 3D Sonic, and one I think would be fun to see unshackled from the mid-level switching). No contest.

SA2: Sky Rail Heroes: Grand Metropolis Shadow: Digital Circuit & Westopolis 06: Aquatic Base or White Acropolis Forces: Mystic Jungle Frontiers: Ares Island

Only a decade i have been since i've been born watching my brothers play sonic 1 or 2 on the 3ds or genesis

Personal pick for 05 would be Lost Impact, a level more focused on a bit slower past exploration and dialog, with Maria Tagging along for some more emotional character moments between them.

it’s such a flop that not one single level from Shadow’s own game made it into Shadow Generations

Have Westopolis be the intermissions seen in the original game, but have the final stage itself be Black Comet. Two birds with one stone.

Did westopolis give you Stockholm syndrome?

Meanwhile still waiting for a sonic X shadows unleashed and frontiers remastered remake games

Here's my renewed version of my Definitive Sonic X Shadow Generations Stages, with every third act as a Boss Act at a Different Zone: Sonic Gens: Green Hill - (Labyrinth for Act 3) Chemical Plant - (Mystic Cave/Hidden Palace for Act 3) Carnival Night - (Sky Sanctuary for Act 3) Stardust Speedway - (Metallic Madness for Act 3) Gigalopolis - (Sunset Park for Act 3) Rusty Ruins - (Volcano Valley for Act 3) Ice Cap (SA-1) - (Station Square for Act 3) City Escape - (Space Colony ARK for Act 3) Grand Metropolis - (Hang Castle for Act 3) Route 99 - (Death Egg for Act 3) Water Palace - (Dead Line for Act 3) Haunted Ship - (Pirate's Island for Act 3) Kingdom Valley - (Crisis City for Act 3) Dragon Road - (Eggmanland for Act 3) Planet Wisp - (Terminal Velocity for Act 3) Clockwerk Catastrophe Shadow Gens: Space Colony ARK - (Cannon's Core for Act 3) Rail Canyon - (Final Fortress for Act 3) Dusty Desert - (Flame Core for Act 3) Jungle Joyride - (Cool Edge for Act 3) Asteroid Coaster - (Lost Hex for Act 3) Sunset Heights - (Arsenal Pyramid for Act 3) Chaos Island - (Ouranos Island for Act 3) Westopolis - (Black Comet for Act 3) Any Thoughts? =3

Lost World still gets no love even in this video 😭

Bro cooked with that Sonic colors stage 🔥

Stages from unleashed and lost world would’ve been worth it. Holoska and lava mountain to be specific. The bosses would be the dark phoenix and Zavok (Zazz or Zik would also work to)

1) Space Colony Arc (Radical Highway Warp) 2) Bullet Station (Sky Rail Warp) Boss) Bio-Lizard 3) Digital Circuit (White Acropolis Warp) 4) Sunset Heights (White Jungle Warp) Boss Fight) Infinite 5a) Egg Fleet (Sky Troops Warp) 5b) Final Fortress Act 2 = 3D (No Warp) Boss Fight) Metal Overlord 6) Kingdom Valley (No Warp) 7) Chaos Island (No Warp) Boss Fight) Mephiles 8a) Westopolis Act 1 8b) Radical Highway Act 2 9) Final Haunt Act 1 Only Boss Fight) Doom That's how I feel it should have been if they were adamant about Chaos Island and Sunset Heights being in the game Gives 9 Levels just like Sonic Generations I would have taken No 2D levels and just had 3D Stages to get more 3D Stages because of how great they were I think the Warps were a missed opportunity - Instead of all being Radical Highway could you imagine how amazing it would be if they went to different levels for a brief period

I hope this game gets more dlc stages after the tokyo dlc.

7:43 this is actually a big underlooked point as to why radical highway was used, shadow starts out promising revenge to maria as he shoots down the first rail in radical highway in sa2. In sxsg he ends on radical highway after promising to maria to not let his anger consume him anymore. A shadow05 level wouldve been awesome though, maybe westopolis as the final boss arena?
