i watched this video first and thought, Wow! this channel is realy great. Then i saw that this channel only has 97 subs...... Imma subscribe you are hella underrated
Appreciate your placement of Marble Garden and Hill Top. I probably wouldn’t place them that high but I always enjoyed them and never understood the hate from other ranking videos
Never be guilty about that Sonic 2 bias. I love all the classic games, and Sonic 1 was my first ever video games so it holds a special place in my heart, but Sonic 2 is the best video game of all time.
Nope, Sonic 3 and Knuckles does everything Sonic 2 does, but much better. Cuts out most of the fluff, looks and plays better, stages are more diverse and epic in scope, music is legendary, hyper Sonic, hidden final boss and stage, lock on tech, more replayability, and has generally aged the best of all time he classic Sonic games.
Nice to see Aquatic Ruin finally getting the love it deserves. Crazy to think how much the team improved on the water level between 1 and 2; it's like night and day.
16:24 I like the Prototype version of the tracks made by Jun Senoue a lot more than the final ones on the Genesis release made by Brad Buxer and MJ (excluding Ice Cap, I think nothing beats Hard Times, but I do like the idea of the one from the Prototype being used in Act 2 and the one in the final game in Act 1), but Origins did NOT made justice to the Proto tracks
I also agree Angel Island is the best zone ever. My only wish is we got a full level with it retaining its beautiful and serene greenery before it gets set on fire.
Great video, I might be in the minority of people who genuinely enjoy Sandopolis,but I thought your rankings were fair. My absolute dead last would be Labyrinth Zone good Christ do I hate that level! I remember being 7 and never being able to clear the thing and make it to Star Light and Scrap Brain. My favorite level of all time would have to be Marble Garden just based off of the scenery and just how much there is to explore in the level within the 10 min you’re given. If you weren’t supersonic by Hydrocity you definitely got in Marble Garden. Oil Ocean was a level I absolutely despised but gained a new appreciation for it in Sonic Mania.
It’s such a shame some of the sonic 3 music is in some copyright limbo. To this day the parallax scrolling is so good. The background of casino night is by far my favorite. Something about the pixelated city in the bay is so special.
@jarlwhiterun7478 actually, no, I've heard them equally. I love both songs. I just think that people are blinded by the nostalgia of Green Hill Zone, that's all.
Apologies, since this was my first video I wanted to keep it relatively simple with what I ranked but I definitely could have included mania if I made it now. I haven't played Chaotic since I've heard not the best of things about it
@@DaBolt sorry that came off more abrasive than intended, I was more so just pondering the question lol. And yeah chaotix can take some getting used to gameplay wise. Not the easiest beast to deal with.
How do u have so few subs?! This is the kinda quality u see from a channel with 100K+ subs. U earned a sub from me and i hope u get famous cause u deserve it.
20:50 Actually, it's not just barely possible, it is straight impossible, Knuckles can't jump that high and reach the Red Eye, so you can't beat it normally, but Knuckles normally doesn't even go to Death Egg, so it makes sense
Tbh i love labyrinth zone's music and almost everything else about it, but the one thing i hate is that just way harder than inmt ever needed to be, oh and don't even get me strated on the drowning
**You hating on Coconuts from Emerald Hill Zone** And if that wasn't enough, they decided that from all the badniks they could have chosen, to make Cocobuts an official villainous character in a Sonic Cartoon :3
You should rank the mania zones as individual acts if you ever do a future. Or maybe include it with the 17 classic sonic zones between both versions of generations.
0:25 Your forgot a couple games. -Sonic 1 (GG) (6) -Sonic 2 (GG) (7) -Sonic spinball (4) -Sonic chaos (5) -Sonic triple trouble (6) -Sonic blast (5) -Sonic 3D blast (8) You missed 41 zones total. Why do people never include these?
How did you beat sonic 2 death egg zone without cheats I can beat metal sonic within less then 17 seconds every time but fighting Eggman’s robot I can get it right so worked on it for 7 hours today and the most hits I got in before dying was 7 😭😭😭
I'll be honest, it's just patience. Just hit him in the chest when his hands aren't sticking out and you'll get him eventually. I was in the same boat as you, I was stuck on the boss for about five years of my childhood
@@DaBolt thanks I just beat it I was trying to hit it every time chance I could get so I would die within the first few hits but I did what you said and waited for the easiest opportunity to hit him over and over and beat it‼️👍
As a child I found another tactic. Before he is landing, I move behind him and attack him from behind, so I don't have to deal with his spiky arms. Just need to take care of the flame from his backpack (and the bombs he is firing behind him, but they are easy to avoid).
To hurt the final boss of CD, I heard that the scrapped final boss was gonna be planned to be put in the mobile remake for CD, but, SEGA being SEGA, wanted it to be *faithful to the original.* Why couldn't it be a toggle?
USA Sega CD OST , forgettable? Damn. Not saying you can't have your opinion, but I'm on the complete opposite side. Calling something you don't like "trash" is something I'd cut from your language. Say you don't like it, but to call something trash that someone else made out of hard work and their best effort is a little condescending. EDIT: You're #1 is also my #1, so it's odd how we can be so opposite on music, but exactly the same on favorite zone. The world takes all kinds I suppose.
I liked that they used similar ground tiles in Hill Top to Emerald Hill. Felt like there was geographic continuity.
it was originally a past version
When sonic 2's plot was about time travel, hill top was the prehistoric version of emerald hill
Sonic 2 was originally planned to be about time travel, and hill top was supposed to an ancient time version of emerald hill
Besides the time travel aspect, i guess it also saved space in the cartridge, kinda like how chemical plant and death egg share the same tiles
Yep same, it's a great zone. One of my favourites
Hell yeah man good to see Marble Garden get some love, it's my 2nd favorite zone behind Chemical Plant
29:24 thank you for giving me time to get my “ohawawwoohwow”s out
10:51 6-year-old me relates to this so damn hard. Finally getting past Marble felt so damn good
Bro the video quality and editing is amazing! It is actually crime that you don’t have more subscribers. Keep up the great work!
i watched this video first and thought, Wow! this channel is realy great. Then i saw that this channel only has 97 subs...... Imma subscribe you are hella underrated
40 minutes of you rating 40 zones? Epic!
actually if we round up 40:32 we get 41 minutes lol
Great video man. keep it up you're so underrated
Thanks, means a lot!
Appreciate your placement of Marble Garden and Hill Top. I probably wouldn’t place them that high but I always enjoyed them and never understood the hate from other ranking videos
Finally, someone who pronounces Hydrocity correctly
incorrectly*
@@buramseg951 hey, I think you've replied to the wrong comment. just wanted to let you know!
underrated youtuber bro
Never be guilty about that Sonic 2 bias. I love all the classic games, and Sonic 1 was my first ever video games so it holds a special place in my heart, but Sonic 2 is the best video game of all time.
For me, it's Sonic 3K, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Sonic 1, from best to worst.
True man. S2 Is a perfect game I llike metropolis I love everything about sonic 2. Sonic 2 has it all.
For me, it's 3&K, 2, 1, and CD
Nope, Sonic 3 and Knuckles does everything Sonic 2 does, but much better. Cuts out most of the fluff, looks and plays better, stages are more diverse and epic in scope, music is legendary, hyper Sonic, hidden final boss and stage, lock on tech, more replayability, and has generally aged the best of all time he classic Sonic games.
6:11 The only reason I'm usually not huge on sand levels is that, the sweltering heat effects and the color schemes make me a bit nauseous idk why😭
Nice to see Aquatic Ruin finally getting the love it deserves. Crazy to think how much the team improved on the water level between 1 and 2; it's like night and day.

ice cap was the only one from the zones that used the proto music that sounded good
26:48 the name of this boss was a roast towards nintendo since its a reference to one of the chips inside the NES i think
I also agree Angel Island is the best zone ever. My only wish is we got a full level with it retaining its beautiful and serene greenery before it gets set on fire.
Nice picks and video boyo, I'm a rare breed who's quite fond of Marble Zone and its music.🔥🕹🎵☘️
Love that zone and music too. The backgrounds in the original Sonic give the game such an ethereal atmosphere and Marble rules in that aspect
Great video, I might be in the minority of people who genuinely enjoy Sandopolis,but I thought your rankings were fair. My absolute dead last would be Labyrinth Zone good Christ do I hate that level!

So many people say the difficulty of later levels is a negative! Of course later levels should be harder and something to master. Nice video
Great vid, please don't abandon us 😊
Collision chaos lower than whacky workbench is crazy 😂
dang bro 199 subs after 2 years u need more
Having Hill Top at 4 is nasty work my guy lol but other than that, solid list
9:13 eggy mcgoober really got me laughing, you get the next egg mcflurry for your next mcdonalds dinner. get it?
I know it’s weird, but hydrocity is 2nd last, and green hill is 3rd last, worst though, wacky effing workbench
Finally, someone else who agrees that Emerald Hill Zone's music is better than Green Hill Zone's music!
Nope, you've just heard Green Hill more and you want to be a contrarian. There's a reason Green Hill is reused so often
@jarlwhiterun7478 actually, no, I've heard them equally. I love both songs. I just think that people are blinded by the nostalgia of Green Hill Zone, that's all.
Very entertaining video, you earned a sub man :)
17:04 THANK YOU!
dabolt talking about to mystic cave spike pit:
all i cloud say is, git gud!
also dabolt in death egg miniboss:
Ranking every sonic cd zone
1 wacky worckbench
2 quartz quadrant
3 palmtree panic
4 tidal tempest
5 collision chaos
6 metallic madness
You are forgetting my personal favourite zone STARDUST SPEEDWAY! It's such a great zone with an epic boss.
How the hell do you only have 25 subscribers? That is a crime man.
this is great! good job!
Good Video, keep it up, proud of you.
Why does nobody ever include Knuckles Chaotix or Mania? They have some of the best atmosphere in the entire series. At least you did CD.
Apologies, since this was my first video I wanted to keep it relatively simple with what I ranked but I definitely could have included mania if I made it now. I haven't played Chaotic since I've heard not the best of things about it
@@DaBolt sorry that came off more abrasive than intended, I was more so just pondering the question lol. And yeah chaotix can take some getting used to gameplay wise. Not the easiest beast to deal with.
Chaotix is a spinoff and Mania is just a remix of classic Sonic games. Very little of it is original enough to make a list out of
How do u have so few subs?! This is the kinda quality u see from a channel with 100K+ subs. U earned a sub from me and i hope u get famous cause u deserve it.
Many thanks! Maybe I should make videos more often. I'm so lazy most of the time
@@DaBoltI think ur content is great so I'm looking forward to new videos
I agree with most of your opinions
35:13 As a fellow hill top enjoyer, I agree.
20:50 Actually, it's not just barely possible, it is straight impossible, Knuckles can't jump that high and reach the Red Eye, so you can't beat it normally, but Knuckles normally doesn't even go to Death Egg, so it makes sense
5:59 LOL 😂😂😂
Tbh i love labyrinth zone's music and almost everything else about it, but the one thing i hate is that just way harder than inmt ever needed to be, oh and don't even get me strated on the drowning
Homie deserves more subscribers.
**You hating on Coconuts from Emerald Hill Zone** And if that wasn't enough, they decided that from all the badniks they could have chosen, to make Cocobuts an official villainous character in a Sonic Cartoon :3
That was an actual typo, when I said Cocobuts, I missed the N key, that wasn't intended. If it was, I would have used two Ts; Cocobutts :3
I like chemical plant because I can do a life underflow glitch in act 2 :)
Bro I was playing mystic cave zone when you were ranking it
Dude, do u know the youtuber Matthasnocuts?
He has the exact same opinions as you with Hill Top and Red Mountain.
You should rank the mania zones as individual acts if you ever do a future. Or maybe include it with the 17 classic sonic zones between both versions of generations.
I think i'm the only who loves Sandopolis zone
Same here
3:22 isn't that Mecha Sonic
Silver Sonic was the name used in some US marketing, but in Japan his name was always Mecha Sonic.
I’m sorry I don’t agree with you metropiless zone place,but. That I think should be at atleast 38. Three acts of torture
Future me: does he say hydrossity?
Yep.
0:25 Your forgot a couple games.
-Sonic 1 (GG) (6)
-Sonic 2 (GG) (7)
-Sonic spinball (4)
-Sonic chaos (5)
-Sonic triple trouble (6)

-Sonic 3D blast (8)

I’m playing sonic origins anniversary mode so I can’t use cheat code on the title screen 😭
I'll be honest, it's just patience. Just hit him in the chest when his hands aren't sticking out and you'll get him eventually. I was in the same boat as you, I was stuck on the boss for about five years of my childhood

Ice Cap at 12?!?!?!
Bro forgot proto palce and the sinic 3 multiple player zones
Hill top is underrated
To hurt the final boss of CD, I heard that the scrapped final boss was gonna be planned to be put in the mobile remake for CD, but, SEGA being SEGA, wanted it to be *faithful to the original.* Why couldn't it be a toggle?
Because it should be faithful. Enough fiddling with art.
Studiopolis is my favorite Classic Sonic Zone
(I know it's from Sonic Mania but i just love that zone)
Lmao, of course death egg act 1 boss is barely possible as knuckles. You aren't supposed to BE there as Knuckles!
Do one for sonic mania
labyrinth truthers (me) winning as its not last 🔥
Aquatic ruin not better than chemical plant
