bro you would not believe the amount of times i tried beating sonic2 withouth dying until i got to metropolis' boss, got hit and saw all my rings fell through the floor
I love your commentary. EWWSU might’ve kickstarted my love for this channel, these videos and the Save The Light challenges made my love for it grow even more. I’d love to see more gaming challenges in the future 👍
Wait... you're the "Everything Wrong with Steven Universe" guy from like 3 years ago. So glad I found this channel again cuz this video was honestly a delight
Actually I think the checkpoints in this game was made completely with the idea of special stages in mind. If would make sense for the completely nonsensical placement of them if they placed them as a means for difficult special stage access rather than progression saving.
If you're wondering why there's no ring wrangler for every level? It's because some stages are impossible to get the perfect bonus due to rings being out of bounds over death planes Also 23:25 That's just the recommended sonic 2 playthrough experience why is that an achievement lmao
Me: there should be an achievement for clearing metropolis zone without getting hit or dying Also me immediately 30 seconds later: *gets hit and then softlocks at the end*
shout out to sonic origins for increasing the render distance on s2 special stages and letting you keep your rings after completing them and permitting retries
There's also ANOTHER thing that makes getting the emeralds even MORE bullshit, if you can believe it. You know how checkpoints only spawn the special stage portal when you trigger them? Well, when you trigger a checkpoint, the game sets the flag to trigger all the checkpoints that it considers to be earlier in the stage. So that means that if you reach a checkpoint that's really far in the act, you lose as many chances at getting the emeralds as the number of checkpoints you passed. Works great as a checkpoint system, but it's absolute DOGSHIT for the special stage system.

Metropolis really isn’t that bad. I don’t know why everyone hates it on it constantly. It’s slightly more difficult than the rest of the game, and the rest of the game is piss easy
4:01 I learned to do these special stages using the mobile port and was so happy when I didn’t need save states or multiple attempts on the original rom
A little pattern I've learned in the Special Stages is that Bombs won't appear in "blindspots" when turning corners (aside from one or two exceptions) which really helped when getting the Chaos Emeralds
This was a great video man. Sonic 2 was one of the Sonic games I grew up with, along with Black Knight, Secret Rings, Unleashed (Wii), and Sonic 4: Episode 1.
@@EricTheNotOkiDokiHe should really study the fact that Sonic 2 is a great video game that's well designed and better than its prequel in every way possible.
For me personally, the special stage system in this game is one of my favorite things. You can just get 50 rings in Emerald Hill act 1, touch a checkpoint, get an emerald, get 50 rings again due to the rings respawning, get a different checkpoint, get the second emerald, and ultimately have super sonic in like Emerald Hill act 2 or Chemical Plant act 1 ( can't remember what it all works out to due to the number of checkpoints in each level), thus letting you use super sonic for the whole game Edit: In a normal playthrough, I find this very convenient, but getting to the part of the video where there's an achievement for specifically doing it all in Emerald Hill, I can see how that would then become really annoying, since it goes from "you can get in emerald hill if you feel like it" to "you *have* to get them all in emerald hill" which then open you up to the frustration of accidentally messing up and having to restart. So yeah i think I would find that achievement annoying too.
The special stage sign posts are strategically placed, they are hard to get to on purpose. It's possible to get all 7 emeralds just in emerald hill. The challenge is welcome
ive been playing sonic2 for 10 years but i will admit that its really easy to get all chaos emeralds in emerald hill. Not because the challenge itself is easy but its because i played the hell out of this game and mastered the special stages. Remember that what you think is easy may be very hard to someone else
I should mention that Sonic 1 just got a revision, meaning you have no longer earned all of its cheevs... And... neither have I now. Maybe I should rectify that... Oh, it also has a Subset now, but considering that's entirely Ring Wrangler tasks...
I feel like this guy has a skill issue with the Sonic 2 special stages, no matter what, I can get them all flawlessly by the end of Emerald Hill Act 2.
The next video: i got every achievement in sanic2 in the video:DID YOU KNOW THAT SANIC2 IS A WELL DESIGNED GAME BETTER THAN ITS PREQUEL SANIC1 IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE?
I don’t know if anyone already said this or not yet, but the reason pressing the D-Pad on a Diagonal Spring slows you down is actually the AIR SPEED CAP KICKING IN. Yeah, for whatever reason, Sonic 2 got rid of Sonic 1's ground speed cap, but NOT the air speed cap, making a lot of air movement in Sonic 2 feel stiff because pressing the D-Pad AT ALL in the air cuts your speed heavily, and it's so bad. Thankfully, Sonic 3 removed this unremoved cap.
Sonic origins fixes the special stages because if you fail you can use one coin to retry. And if you restart the level you keep your emeralds and you can just get every emeralds in the first level
if you want a good way to play sonic 2, play sonic 2 absolute, you get to keep all your rings, there are less glitches, there's achivements, and more characters
Sonic 2 is a great video game that's well designed and better than its prequel in every way possible. It is also not made to have insanely hard achievements.
really entertaining video, although i will say i don’t think your enjoyment/liking of sonic 2 as a whole should be dependent on the achievements fans made decades later but if that’s how you prefer to play games i ain’t the fun police or anything lol
It's not really the achievements that cause my dislike of Sonic 2, I've not liked it for years even before the achievements, the achievements just happen to highlight the things I already don't like about it.
Dude i think alot of them are pretty easy, especially getting the emeralds in emerald hill, but i lowk play the special stages so much, its second nature for me
Hey, congrats on mastering Sonic 2. I too mastered this game about a couple months ago, and yeah, some of the achievements such as deathless, and the special stages definitely required a lot of muscle memory. I couldn't tell you how annoyed I was about the few times that I was at the final boss to only die because the bounce back upon hitting the final boss wouldn't work at times. And tails... I had to play them both separately because Tails was such a liability when it came to bosses and special stages. Lastly, I'm glad I wasn't the only one that went Super Sonic on a deathless run only to end up clipping through the lava and dying lol. Again, congrats on mastering Sonic 2. If or when you do go for Sonic CD I must give you fair warning, be prepared to spend multiple hours for a lot of single achievements. I have war flashbacks for how insane some of the achievements are.
Sonic 2 isn't my favorite of the classic trilogy, but I've grown to appreciate it over the years. I dont think I could ever go for these achievements? The special stages make me pull my hair out as they are the worst in the trilogy. I went through them once to get the trophy on Sonic origins, but I'm never doing it again for my own sanity. Wait? Sonic CD takes the cake for the worst special stages because my depth perception messes with me for the UFOs. Sonic 2 felt too long, and the amount of jank really irritated me.
I feel like getting annoyed at a game for fan made community achievements nobody forced you to play is kinda ridiculous, like sorry dude. EDIT: He clarifies he's not blaming the game for the achievements in the sequel video, so that's good. My criticism is no longer valid. :)
18:08 it doesn't do whatever it wants, u just need to hit the right side to get a boost right, and hit the left side to get a boost left, in other words: *physics.*
the diagonal springs slow you down because moving yourself (with the d-pad) brings the air horizontal speed cap (which things that move you, rather than you moving yourself, often override) into effect. sonic 1 had this on the ground too which is why after e.g. bouncing off a horizontal spring holding a direction would slow you down in that game
These "No Ring" achievements would make Ceave Gaming proud, as I remember them doing a lot of videos where they mention "shiny yet deadly coins" in Mario games. So, if I ever take on this challenge (which isn't happening any time soon), and attempt the No Ring achievements, I'm gonna take to calling the rings "shiny yet deadly rings".
I remember when I mastered Sonic 2 back in 2022. I felt good when I got the no spindash, Tails playthrough, and no death achievement all at once. I had a fun time with most of the achievements, not so much with the no ring achievments, although I did a debug on Aquatic Ruin Zone and got it anyway, even though I wasn't supposed to. Ahaha. I mastered Sonic 1 in a single night, but it took me a few days or perhaps a week(?) to master Sonic 2.
Sonic 2 on Genesis was the first Sonic game I ever played, and despite enjoying it a lot despite its flaws, its level design to me feels lacking compared to both Sonic 1 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. First half has levels that feel kinda empty and underpopulated, and second half (Oil Ocean and onwards) feel filled with artifical difficultly. Sonic 1 by comparison, in my opinion had levels more populated with enemies and hazards, and a smoother less abrupt difficulty curve through the game. Sonic 2's flaws show just how troubled its development was.
An Hour and Half? Of trying to get Chaos Emerald Hill Achievement. Its not that hard actually its just your skill issue. And Its Pretty FUN well for me atleast.
When playing as sonic & tails together in the special stages I just focus on get as many as possible as sonic & use tails only as a last resort back-up That makes it a little easier for me Also the checkpoints don't take your rings in knuckles in sonic 2 But i'm unsure if that would even count I don't think it does though

First half has levels that feel kinda empty and underpopulated, and second half (Oil Ocean and onwards) feel filled with artifical difficultly.
Sonic 1 by comparison, in my opinion had levels more populated with enemies and hazards, and a smoother less abrupt difficulty curve through the game. Sonic 2's flaws show just how troubled its development was.

I remember that when i was a kid i used to make my own routes to get all of the emeralds in Emeralid Hill, it became second nature
Sonic 2 special stage ain't hard bro stop tripping 💀😭🙏
IT IS HARD!
It's not bro you just ahh at it 😭
The 5th one?
.

An Hour and Half? Of trying to get Chaos Emerald Hill Achievement. Its not that hard actually its just your skill issue. And Its Pretty FUN well for me atleast.
When playing as sonic & tails together in the special stages
I just focus on get as many as possible as sonic & use tails only as a last resort back-up
That makes it a little easier for me
Also the checkpoints don't take your rings in knuckles in sonic 2
But i'm unsure if that would even count
I don't think it does though
I hate when the fucking checkpoint takes all of the rings
9:39 close to how Sonic said it
I didnt know sonic 2 was that bad because the only sonic 2 i played is sonic 2 absolute
did you know that sonic the hedgehog 2 is a great video game that is designed and better than its prequel in every way possible
