Man, what about the Sonic Frontiers Final Horizons Trailer?!
Are you even aware of it
The issue with Classic Sonic games Is that once youre good at one of them, you're good at them all. So i feel Manía being considered Easy Is just because it came so many years later so people are skilles enough to breeze through it
can confirm (although i count Mania out since i never got to play it)
Yeah I agree, I never got a chance to play the Classics when I was younger so Mania was really my first exposure to that kind of game design. Thankfully my first ever Sonic game was Generations which meant I already knew how Classic worked.

sonic forces was one of the hardest games to beat for me because i would fall asleep after every level
Relatable, the same thing happened to me with a different Sonic game, it took me 4 years to finish Sonic Colors because I kept stopping playing it because of how boring it would get multiple times, I'm pretty sure it would have taken an extra year or two if it wasn't for the remaster coming out, which made me force myself into finishing it
Ouch
Same, I use Sonic Forces as a tool to help me sleep at night
6:42 If I had a dollar for every time a youtube mistakenly calls the auto-scroller in Classic Sonic's final level a side-scroller, I'd have two dollars. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
watch any playthrough of sonic mania from someone who isnt already super familiar with the classic games, and you will find there are multiple points that people consistently struggle at. sonic mania has plenty of difficult points
“Babe, wake up. The Goat Matthasnocuts posted again”
XD
I found Titanic monarch in Sonic Mania to be somewhat hard on my first playthrough back in 2017, but I do agree it's the easiest of the classics since I've actually completed that game multiple times with the lives system, while I needed the infinite lives of sonic origins to actually get to the end of the classics
Labyrinth zone comes to mind
I actually disagree. I find titanic monarch harder than death egg, mostly because titanic monarch us too big. It's a very elaborate zone and by the tine I reach it I'm already feeling fatigued from the other 11 zones I just played. Titanic monarch nay be more forgiving but death egg is more condensed, gets to yhe point
I hate that stage. Still hard for me. So I don’t consider Mania easy game. It is full of stages I don’t like. 😂
In terms of S-ranking, Sonic Generations’ challenge acts are pretty difficult in my eyes. Off the top of my head, only some of the doppelgänger races are the challenges that I can S-rank. And some of the challenges are pretty cheaply designed to get an S rank, like the Vector hot potato challenge. Also, Classic Sonic’s Rooftop Run balloon challenge is torturous.
New sonic fans who only played sonic origins finding out about the game overs in the genesis version: 👁👄👁
I played it on the mobile version
cant believe they spent 40 dollars on a collection instead of emulating it for free
@@Drouckedor playing the tema forever/Air remaster
@@Droucked They should've spent that 40 dollars to get some bitches
@@Droucked people don't wanna be doing something illegal I guess
Is anybody going to tell him you don’t go back to the start when you game over in sonic 3 & knuckles?
Sonic 3? yes.
in Sonic & Knuckles? definitely not
but yeah he should've at least mentioned it
Or in Sonic CD. It’s only the case in 1, 2 and S&K alone.
It definitely is Forces as the game has the habit of playing itself, Generation and Colours at least have some mild difficulty in there later levels that can challenge more causal gamers. The classic games are a lot harder then most 3D Sonic games especially considering they were meant to be beaten without save files and without getting a game over, not to mention there bs level design at certain points. As for Frontiers it isn’t hard to beat the Titans or most of the guardians or to explore the islands but some of the puzzles that are required can be challenging (Kronos and Chaos) and same can be said for some cyberspace stages (3-6 for an example) and then there’s Extreme Mode and The End’s Fight, so it is average with difficulty.
There is a mistake in the video actually sonic 3 and sonic cd after game over you can start from the beginning of the zone just like sonic mania
To be fair, there are some aspects on Frontiers that would stop me from really calling it "easy"
Traversal in Ares and especially Chaos island can get a bit complicated because they're so big (the map being a bit disorienting too). And Ourhanos padded out the island by having to collect almost every single memory token in the island, and unless you start farming items at Big's fishing, these islands can be a bit complicated to complete.
I don't think Frontiers is easy, but that's due to the game being extremely unbalanced in many of it's systems instead of being challenging for all the right reasons like Unleashed.
Anyways great video Matt!!
Huh, maybe it's because I took it at a more relaxed pace than the others but Ourhanos felt really fun for me, I didn't have to collect anywhere CLOSE to all the tokens on the island (and I actually never used Big's fishing game at all on my first playthrough). I think the main issue with the final islands (Chaos, Rhea, and Ourhanos) is that at that point most people start blitzing though and end up getting a bit of burnout, making the experience feel like it drags on.
I Hate The Caterpillar Boss Though.
@@snoot1871 I tend to be very patient, when I look at Ourhanos from the most objective standpoint, I could easily say that Ourhanos is the most complete island, combat requires you to use your brain a bit more and traversal was very smooth unlike Chaos.
But it being basically Kronos again, with far less interesting story segments *really* messed up my first impressions. But when playing it now, with expectations low, I think that Ourhanos and even the game as a whole is fairly fun, even tought balance is all over the place, and it really not feeling worth 60 bucks.
Oh yeah I completely agree, it's basically Kronos but bigger and with harder enemies, the tokens for Sage are the same as the ones for Amy, objectively one could argue that it's kinda bland, but I Had already known about that beforehand so I didn't mind nearly as much as some others did. Subjectively I actually really like it.
And hey, with the 3rd DLC wave coming out soon, looks like the ending is gonna be revamped, who knows, that might include Rhea and Ourhanos!
You can literally beat generations in a day don’t even have to collect the red rings to get super sonic…Love the game tho it’s so fun😂
Fantastic video. Straight to the point. Great length. Awesome. I love these games!!
For Classic Sonic I gotta say that Mania is the easiest. For modern probably either Forces of Gens honestly. Goated video! Love the content on this channel
I personally think sonic
1 is easier
@@Squiggy_95 Labyrinth Zone 💀
@@MrNeedleM0useespecially the boss of the zone, I can't beat the game because of it.
Same here
@@MrNeedleM0use Speaking as someone who recently played Sonic 1 as their first Sonic game (with savestates, but only to be able to play in multiple sessions and to keep my rings for special stages, and only saved at checkpoints; once I got all the emeralds, I stopped), the only parts of Labyrinth I can recall being hard are the latter half of Act 1 and the boss in Act 3. Everything else was fine.
That boss can go burn in hell though. If I wasn't using savestates, I would've probably had to replay the game up to that point like 3 times *_just_* because of this stupid rising water climb.
Glad to see someone else who also didn’t struggle with the pinball minigame and got it on their first try.
Another goated video once again! keep dropping these bangers matt!
Nice vid Matt. Also to answer your question about the Pinball Machine in Sonic Frontiers, it wasn't hard it just dragged on for far too freaking long other then that Frontiers is still a fun game and i can't wait for Update 3😎
It's not hard, it's just random whenever it decides to kill you and reset your multiplier or not.
been watching you for a year and every time i hear your voice i hear antdude, love your content
Hate to say it but it’s either Generations in terms of ranking (tho who cares that’s like the least of the criticism when the game is still just pure fun) Forces or Colors in terms of level design and skill ceiling
At least colors has the difficult s rank. (That doesn't mean that generation is automatically a bad game because it's easy it's still a good game.)
I think many of us don't find mania difficult because of where we were when it came out, we grew up playing classic sonic
for instance for the Sonic Symphony, i wanted my friend to play all the mainline games and he had a bit of a rough time with mania
Despite being easy games, I still enjoy the snot out of all of them, even Forces to certain extents. I remember struggling with the Classic games a lot when I was younger, but after playing Mania and Generations, which I struggled with at the time as well, I got better and managed to eventually beat my first Genesis Era game, that being Sonic 2 from what I recall. I think the only game here that I didn't struggle with on my first playthrough was Sonic Colors. Yes, I struggled more on Forces than Colors when I first played it. I remember being up at night with my brother trying to beat the final boss of Forces. At this time, I was relatively new to the series, so I struggled with pretty much every Sonic game I could get my hands on. I think the reason why I didn't struggle with Colors when first playing it is because, at that point, I've been a Sonic fan for years, so I've had enough experiences with the games to know what I could be getting myself into, although probably not as many years as a lot of other Sonic fans have.
Anyway, congrats on the green screen, Matt! I can't wait to see what you cook up now that you have it! Not that your content wasn't already good as it is...
6:41 side-scrolling? in _my_ classic sonic?? i couldn't fathom
just messing with you, lol
Hey look! Matt got a sponsor! Congrats Man!
Since mania was my first sonic game I ever played, I found it very challenging, especially in winged fortress and titanic monarch. But the more I replayed the levels, I got used to Sonic’s controls and now it barely has any challenge. Maybe what makes classic sonic so hard is getting a good grip of the controls and level design.
That pinball minigame was easy for me personally. Like I genuinely don’t understand how you could find that too hard
The ball can clip through the flippers, at least on Switch.
@@lpfan4491 that’s.. a very odd bug lol.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles is basically under the Sonic Mania camp of has save files and restart from beginning of the current zone if you game over and don’t have continues (unless you are doing a no saves run, in which case, totally understandable). Depending on your version of CD, you just start at the beginning of the act you lost on upon a Game Over, I think worst case is beginning of Zone upon game over.
Bro Ive been watching you forever your the goat
Thanks, I appreciate you for sticking around!
that pinball minigame was the only reason why i didnt do new game+ for sonic frontiers
Greenscreen is a total upgrade in quality 👍 I like the blurry effect in the backround
Not to argue but in Forces, that Avatar level has the Hover Wisp already unlocked, so basically you can fly without engaging with any of the platforming.
I dunno. I grew up on the Genesis sonics, but I found Mania to be more challenging, especially some of the bosses.
On the pinball mini game: back when the game came out, I played the first time, beat it instantly. Then I replayed the game, and no joke it was the worst thing I'd ever seen on this playthrough for some reason. I tried and failed it so many times in a row, TWICE right at the end. The problem is the ball falling out is borderline rng. Couple that with the point count needing to be so high, and it goes it's something that is absolute hell if you consistently get unlucky enough to have the ball robbed from you.
Colors wii/ultimate being the easiest to fall asleep by just how boring the game was and the music surely help sleeping easier
I wouldn't really say pinball in Frontiers is challenging, but moreso annoying.
The ball sometimes decides it wants to be nice and other times decides to remove your multiplier by falling down to the bottom and you have no way to prevent that at times.
And let's not forget about that point requirement, kinda wish the point requirement was changed depending on difficulty.
Also pretty sure someone mentioned this already, but the original Sonic 3 had a save system and I'm pretty sure getting a game over just set you back to the beginning of the zone just like Mania.
(also also while Classic Sonic controls horribly in Forces I am very much wanting to just say "skill issue" to the deaths in Iron Fortress)
The easiest is Sonic Origins. It removed the lives system from the classic games outside of classic mode, so new players aren't going to be getting game overs period. They also removed the time out feature, so you can spend as much time as you want in a level. Additionally, the coins system is not very well thought out, with the coins you use to unlock things and retry special stages being very easily farmable and you can quickly have more than you could ever spend. As a result, even the task of getting all the emeralds and abusing Super Sonic is made really really easy. Failure is not at all a concern in the game. You don't need to get good because you will never be truly punished for being bad at the game, and getting good isn't rewarded like how it was in the originals.
i remember struggling with Titanic Monarch/Egg Reverie on my first play of Mania because of the bosses. I dont have much trouble with it now but I got a few game overs and had to start from act 1, I believe if you game over on Egg Reverie than you have to start from TM Act 1 so that adds to my point.
I still think Forces is the easiest Sonic game tho
glad im not the only one who beat the pinball minigame on my first try
This guy is so underrated
Sonic Forces last Classic Sonic level made me rage more times than I’m proud of
I think it's also important to factor in someone who has never played a Sonic game before. For instance, I never properly finished a classic-like game until Mania. I eventually played Sonic 2 and 3, and found those to be some of the harder Sonic games for me. Yet I find Sonic Adventure to be very easy because I have a lot of experience with it, while I watch other people play it for the first time and struggle with various zones that I may or may not have struggled with when I was a kid. Generations is still very easy though.
hmm, i have the opposite skills as you, it seems. im new to sonic, and the classics come easily to me, but adventure 1 and 2 feel so janky to me, that it's barely worth playing without a controller and mods imo
Ive played through most of the early 3D Sonic games, a handful of the newer ones, and very few of the 2D ones. Mania was very difficult for me when i first played, it was essentially my first 'real' Sonic game, and it took a looooot of getting used to. That being said, its now super easy, but thats because i more or less have the maps memorized
Mathew has officially become a youtuber having obtained a greenscreen
That’s for sure! EEP!🤩
For me, Sonic Generations is hard to 100%, because of ONE challenge. In the challenge, you race Classic Sonic in Act 1 of Green Hill. Completing it is no problem, but getting the S rank was EXCRUCIATING. You have to have some speedrunner skills in order to get S rank.
Every time I landed on the ground, I had to do a spindash by mashing the Z key, while holding down (Which is what I have it set to on the keyboard), since holding X (or charging up a spindash automatically) would not provide me with enough speed.
And when I did get the S rank, it was less than a second away from being an A rank.
Something I will say, if you go for 100%, Sonic Forces kind of gets a boost in difficulty thanks to the one thing that is challenging about Sonic Forces that nobody talks about: the time missions. To all the people who complain about the S ranks being too easy in Forces, I want you to just try the first time mission of the game where you need to beat Ghost Town in 60 seconds, and then realize that this isn't a cyberspace 1-2 situation, and that all the other time missions are going to be about as hard.
Solid choices for the easiest Sonic games.
Bro is making an "Easiest Sonic game" video and puts Sonic Mania in the thumbnail. I've had that game for almost three years and still haven't beaten it.
I’d say frontiers was kinda hard due to it not always being clear on what you have to do for the boss battles
Frankly, the biggest challenge in the 2D games is getting all of the Chaos Emeralds.
Everything else (outside of 2-3 zones) is pretty easy.
You ever considered doing a tier list on all the sonic vocal song I would love to see that
Sonic 3 also has the save system, which makes you restart at the start of a zone like in Mania
I love these videos
I'd argue Sonic Generations ISN'T the easiest Sonic game when you actually master it.
There's no in-game incentive to 'master' the game, because of the easy S ranks, but getting a fast run in Generations is definitely much harder.
I still hear people complain about Chemical Plant Act 2 on Twitter to this day.
The pinball mini game took me too long lol
Times like this I feel like I’m such an average player.😂😅
Seeing the classic Sonic games, Sonic Mania, and Sonic Frontiers on here just blows my mind.
I understand that there are experts out there with those games but they can be hard at times for me, I’m just saying. Lol
Sonic generations. It's so short and I can't remember I singal part I had problems in. There's not even side quests or an open world to get confused with.
I beat Sonic Chaos useing only sound as a kid. My brightness nob on the Game Gear was broken. It was my second time through.
Sonic 3 and onward had the save feature so that aspect of the challenge in the classic sonic games were removed from there.
The hardest out of this list in my opinion is sa1 because of the lost world stage and big the cats gameplay as a whole which is still the only story I need to get the last story, but I think that will change once I play the game again (off topic I know)
They never explain how to hook a fish, it took me forever to figure it out.
@@benhoward3865There's the Know-It-All Kid that tells you to hold down when hooking a fish, but most players won't bother talking to him
AGREED. Lost World can burn in hell.
It's Forces, that was one of the first video games I beat
Sonic 3 has the same save system as Mania. And I think CD has a continue option.
On the title screen.😊
CD had a save system too
I Thought Forces was easier though, but it makes sense.
6:42 This just gives me Bridge Zone Act 2 vibes.
I actually struggle with most sonic games but most are also real easy when you really think about it.
Classic Sonic games? Without a Life-System, sure, but with Lives they're rather challenging, especially the first time around.
“Which Sonic game is the easiest?”
Sonic Chaos on the table:
The difficulty of Sonic games is determined not by the fact of passing them, but by how difficult it is to pass the levels without errors (never losing the rings / never falling into the abyss, without slowing down and stopping, without crashing into walls and not failing platforming while using the fastest route).
In the classic 1-ring immortality was intentional so that even the most beginners could learn and enjoy the game, but it wasn't meant to be the true way to play, shields are in the game for a reason and losing all rings in 1 hit and counting them at the end of the level is proof of that. You will be surprised how difficult Mania is when going through at a high pace without losing rings and the pleasure of this style of game just on another level.
classic sonic's final level in forces is actually has the best physics with those spiny platforms
Forces be like: "Bro at least I had a legacy before."
Valid opinion. I’d still say it’s forces to be the easiest. Especially when you consider 100 percent completion of the game. The S ranks are probably some of the easiest and the gens missions can actually be a little difficult to S rank on some of them
100% of Forces is quite hard. Some numbers and moons are quite tricky and some achievements are grindy (collecting rings, leveling Avatar species). There are some speedrunning missions which are quite hard. I had more issues with 100% of Forces than Generations.
I thought Sonic Mania was easy but you should see my friend…😅 hard stuck at flying battery zone
Generations is harder than Forces. Perfect Chaos and Planet Wisp is going to give a newbie more trouble than an avatar level you can fly through and a moderately challenging classic sonic level with unlimited lives.
It's easy to find the easiest game: Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric. You respawn where you stood as if nothing happened, speed sections don't require any input, there isn't any difficulty at all.
“Most sonic games are actually pretty easy”
Me:.....What?!!
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO DIDNT STRUGGLE WITH PINBALL AND DOES IT FIRST TRY!!!!
Counterpoint. Generations has the Vector Minigame, easily the hardest game in the franchise
With sonic frontiers you forgot to talk about cyberspace 1-2
En realidad ese nivel es facil de sacarle el rango s, lo malo es que rompe con la idea de tomar la ruta de mejores reflejos para llegar más rápido
Pero en si no es difícil
En realidad ninguno de los niveles del cyberspace creo que lo sea
Tbh i didn't struggle with the final classic sonic lvl in forces, but i did struggle ALOT in the final boss
I took more time on the final boss of Forces than the auto scroll section lmao,
And then Titanic Monarch, IT TOOK ME SO GODDAMN LONG! I have no idea how long it took me to beat act 2
Yo, matthas i wonder if you know about spark the electric jester. I know you cover sonic, but please check it out.
I've checked it out. I have Spark on the backburner currently in terms of content. I want to talk about it someday eventually. I have the perfect video idea for it, I just haven't found the right time.
@@Matthasnocuts Okay, sick.
Sonic's Game World was so difficult smh my head
The one that plays almost half of itself lol
Very telling how XPool and Daviron's favorite Sonic games are the easiest ones...
Forces is actually the hardest Sonic game because it’s the hardest to actually have fun.
Dude. Just use the hover wisp on the last avatar level. You litterally fly over the whole stage.
Lost world for Wii U, 3ds, and Pc are pretty easy too.
11:00 did you forget about the save files in Sonic 3?
And CD. Bro actually grouped them like this when half of them work like Mania instead.
These Sonic games that you Mentioned in this Video I Agree With. I honestly think that the Classic Sonic games are honestly pretty Easy. I definitely think there are Times were the Classic Sonic games were Kinda hard but when your a Pro at Classic Sonic games. Sonic forces is definitely a game that is Way to Easy and Sonic Forces is Probably one of the Easiest Sonic Game Ever. Sonic Forces is a Game that can be beaten very quickly. The Final Levels of Sonic Forces are definitely hard ones. The final Classic Sonic Stage in Sonic Forces was Just Difficult. The Final Avatar level is definitely Hard. I Honestly don’t think that Sonic Frontiers is a Easy Game to beat the Final Boss fight in Sonic Frontiers was pretty hard. I honestly think that SA1 was a pretty Easy Game in my opinion. Sonic Mania and Sonic Colors are very easy and Generations is kinda Easy but Sonic Colors is Easy. It’s definitely hard to get a S Rank in Sonic Colors.
Nice Green Screen)
Avatar's final level was so hard to get s rank for me that after that i liked the song cause i heard it like 50 times 😂😂😂
I'm really exited for sonic new form and playable characters in frontiers
Final horizon dlc from sonic frontiers is insanely tough
Sonic Mania has a debug future that let's you skip to the end of each level seems pretty easy to me
Love the green screen btw
hair looking fire
the boss battles in sonic mania are so hard for me for some reason you just made me feel super dumb
First time i played the pinball minigame in Frontiers it was easy...second playthrough it was hell.
I'd say Colors is easier because some of Generation's missions are definitely kinda tricky.
"Most Sonic games are easy"
Me who has trouble on Sonic 3 and Mania's Special Stages:
Skill issue perhaps but DAMN THE UFO MOVES SO FAST 😭
Nah fr
UFO chases weren't too tough for me, but man, fk those blue sphere challenges for unlockables. >_> Hate them and it's why I never 100%ed Mania's unlockables.
Fun fact: I died 1 time in generations. That's only because of Planet Wisp. I completely smashed every level. Wowie Zowie...
