What's really crazy to me is that this stage was teased all the way back in Sonic Adventure 1. Now we get to see what Eggman considers his "perfect" city.
yeah eggman was planning to do his eggmanland above a station square and mystic ruins, but it didn't happened, since sonic is too great to fight eggman, so eggman did it in unleashed
FINALLY! I felt like the only person who remembered this and so thought it was so cool to finally see Eggmanland as a level! This is probably my favorite looking final level in a Sonic level.
What I like about this stage is its nod to Final Egg. Although Final Egg had three sections, there’s six in Eggmanland. Seven if you’re including the boss.
Contextually it makes sense. Eggman has been trying to build this damn eggmanland forever, so to his credit he did it and it’s as tough as it should be. But holy fuck is it hard.
You guys know you can practice this until you get it right enough you know the stages from to back and sometimes think quicker with sequences it's crazy
Bro, have you played the ps2 version of this game? It was better, that by the time I did eggmanland, I kid you not, it felt like a masochists wet dream learning how to perfect that level on the ps2 version.
Never have I ever thought, that there were shortcuts to get through certain areas faster. Plus, that not all enemies had to be beaten down (except for the ones that were near the goal ring in the underground temple.)
4:15 This is the one part of this level I hate! All of a sudden I learn here that there's a route that DOESN'T put me on a tightrope with moving spikes?! I mean, it looks like the camera angle still wants to kill Sonic, but still!
I know exactly how you feel, when I learned you didn’t have to go up those stairs in Shamar night and battle those enemies that respawn all the time (I still have ptsd😭)
This level, imo, truly is the magnum opus of Sonic Unleashed. The Crimson Carnival is you, quite literally, "running the gauntlet" down anything and everything Dr. Robotnik has to throw at you. This is one of his greatest achievements - a hellish fortress that will push you to your limits. *_Make it YOUR'S!_*
Seen 10 min S rank and had to witness for myself cus I remember this level took me a hour to beat it was fun and probably the best final stage i ever experienced in a sonic game
You are amazing for showing these shortcuts. I was trying to S Rank, but I stopped because I was getting too pissed. And now there’s a chance that I can S Rank!!!
There is also a skip at roughly 6:55, if you stay as sonic and go to the right, boost inside the small gap and jump up to the top and it sends you to the room where you have to break down pink walls to pull down a lever
This game is not that hard. I recently started playing Project 06 (Sonic 06 on PC) and that's actually harder going backwards. Especially after years of not playing the original. I've S ranked every stage of Unleashed as a teen, PS2 and PS3 version. It's really not that hard, u just have to learn the stage layout just as every Sonic game. U can die in some stages once or twice and still get an S rank.
@TerrionCarter P06 is not hard at all. I Could get an S rank on every stage after 2-3 tries, except white acropolis, I did it first try on every story without even trying But it's still a game I like. The stages are some of the best of the serie, a shame regular 06 wasn't like that
This guy: Takes like 1,000 hits His rings: 1000000000000000000000 Sonic: Eggman you call this damage; I'll show you DAMAGE*destroys Eggman land with 1 spin dash*
10:13 - That probably happened to to the glitchy collison on the Werehog when he sheilds. Speedrunners use it to get out-of-bounds and to perform skips the bypass sections of a stage.
Odd that it didn't take away from the shield counter when the Gaia titan guy's stomp made contact, maybe it didn't count as a hit due to the glitch but the game still played the shielding sound effect.
I still think this is the best sonic level ever, not just aesthetically. It test almost everything you learned through the game while also being very challenging, and it also ends with a BANGER boss fight.
Remember it doesn't matter how many times you die in Eggmanland, just spam QTE Finishers as the Werehog and you can clear the stage with 200k - 600k Score
Man, this brings back memories and unwanted memories. Good memories of my childhood ofc, and memories of me absolutely getting destroyed by this stage, it was a nightmare for me.
Phenomenal. After I played this level the first time I never ever wanted to play it again. Worse still of course, the platinum required you actually beat this level without dying several times AND under a time limit, for half. Torture. Remember it well, took me 45 minutes the first time, not including the absolutely countless deaths.
This is what your runs will look like when you lock in trying to get that platinum trophy on playstation. I felt like a different gamer when I went 3 runs without dying lmao
Reason I love Unleashed is because it feels like the last game with the boost formula that truly challenges your knowledge of mechanics, locations, and the game itself
How tf anyone did this as an child is one thing but getting an S Rank is another 💀 (I mean it's not hard once you're used to it but the lack of a drop shadow scares the shit out of me during the lava section.)
I have a minor disability where I can't process information quick enough (delayed reaction, sometimes misfires in my brain), so those quick time events were hell. The worst ones are the werehog ones when doing abilities/combos, so I often avoided those if possible because of that. If I recall, you can pause the game and take a second to process the information and then input them, but you really can't do it with the werehog given those can literally be up for only a second and it's just not enough time. It really sucks as I "generally" enjoy Sonic Unleashed, but those are such a barrier for people like me, it's not even funny.
It took me years as an 8-13 year old just to beat the Wii version of this. Although I enjoy my day and night segments seperated, I must admit that this looks x10 more horrifying to undergo.
I suprisingly had alot of fun playing this stage only i really hate the part where your in the roller-coaster. It was so difficult to control that thing
i just completed this stage after 51 mins on the clock and got a B rank, thank GOD it wasn’t any lower because then i’d feel obligated to play this gauntlet of a stage again
Probably the sonic game I love the most, after playing shadow generations it might be a tie but looking at this throw a lot of memories, I finished this game twice once on Xbox one and Xbox series x, just because I couldn’t as a kid.
I always wondered like in the real game like was sonic in his normal hedgehog self and then eventually to the end he transformed into the werehog or like is he able to transform between the 2 forms anytime he wants or did he do this on different days or sum
i was thinkin that dark gaia's energy is strong enough in certain spots around eggmanland to turn sonic into the werehog, considering the whole place was built with the power of dark gaia energy, and sonic is getting closer to dark gaia itself as he delves deeper toward the planet's core
@@clawcakes2sorry for the late reply yeah that makes sense I mean I wonder like in the real game like literally whenever he needed to he can hit the compass thing and just turn from his regular self to the werehog 😂
I respect this level and I respect Eggman for creating Eggman land. But gahlee this stage is a pain in the ass, JEEZ 😅😂 Edit: Still haven’t beaten it 😢
A few thoughts I have about this 1. Crazy how Eggmans greatest goal of all time is just an egocentric amusement park. Like what you see here is his dreams made real. 2. The Werehog was such a bizarre, fun gimmick and I halfway hope they introduce a character whos just always like this. Maybe thats the missing piece for team SIlver and Blaze we've been looking for. 3. My god hes chatty in this one

I’ve never noticed how Sonic move his arms and torso in the slight turn. This game is epic
Ah yes, the stage that literally tells you _don't die and the s rank is free_
To say the collectibles are a middle finger is an understatement.
Plus those hot dog missions...
Sonic Unleashed sure does have a way to bully us, huh?
Yeah the S is free, but they sure as hell won't make it easy for you to obtain.
10:17 “Are you telling me a man just happens to fall like that? NO! He orchestrated it, Sonic!”
"He got an S rank in eggmanland!"
You are amazing for showing these shortcuts. I was trying to S Rank, but I stopped because I was getting too pissed. And now there’s a chance that I can S Rank!!!
UPDATE: THANKS TO THIS VIDEO, I S-RANKED EGGMANLAND
There is also a skip at roughly 6:55, if you stay as sonic and go to the right, boost inside the small gap and jump up to the top and it sends you to the room where you have to break down pink walls to pull down a lever
Bro this guy must have been practicing forever because he somehow got an S rank in sonic unleashed, the hardest game to get an S rank in
Isn't Sonic Adventure 2 more difficult to get highest rank? But yes, S rank on Eggmanland is incredible

Doing that screw attack stuns the enemies, so you can keep spamming that attack without them being able to defend themselves

I just got an S Rank on this stage 2 weeks ago. And I tell you, I was shaking so much throughout the whole stage.
After about 2 days after unlocking Eggmanland, I finally did this myself
Sonic unleashed was way ahead of its time. I think if it didnt have the werehog stages it wouldve been highly praised
OH YEAH, THATS RIGHT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spookstep:this is where the badniks go have fun when not attacking us
Joe:just not let any prominent fin experiments ram their boats
...
And I thought this level couldn't be any harder. The Wii version was a complete cakewalk for me!
Devs went crazy with this one
They seriously DO NOT give you enough time for the QTEs. Let’s be honest here: Who here does NOT like precise timing?
I have a minor disability where I can't process information quick enough (delayed reaction, sometimes misfires in my brain), so those quick time events were hell. The worst ones are the werehog ones when doing abilities/combos, so I often avoided those if possible because of that. If I recall, you can pause the game and take a second to process the information and then input them, but you really can't do it with the werehog given those can literally be up for only a second and it's just not enough time.
It really sucks as I "generally" enjoy Sonic Unleashed, but those are such a barrier for people like me, it's not even funny.
Pro Tip: You can Pause during the QTEs if you struggle to react fast.
FACTS
how, just- how? this took me 4 hours. At night so technically, a day.😢
this opened my eyes
8:46 Your telling me I could’ve done that and skipped an entire section that *tortured* me with the tight platforming
It took me years as an 8-13 year old just to beat the Wii version of this. Although I enjoy my day and night segments seperated, I must admit that this looks x10 more horrifying to undergo.
Can a regular person beat eggman land befor a speedrunner beats sonic forcess, i've always wondered this
Going back and kids will never understand the pain of this level when we were young..
Ps2- Wii easy
Xbox and ps3- this where real men grow up 😭😭
so glad i grew up playing this game. best sonic game to this date.
how do you do that spinning dash thing with the werehog?
after sprinting, jump and press Y/Triangle
This game makes u feel that you are realy sonic
yeah but without the werehog curse
It’s wild to me that an S RANK, the perfect run, takes 10 minutes
Watching this video after giving up, I just realized I was only half way done with an hour in
impressive dude!!
I just beat the stage, and on the cutscene before the Egg Dragoon fight the game crashed.
Edit: Nevermind, the game saved to the boss fight.
WOW! This is an awesome stageplay!
I got the wii version, and eggmanland was much more tolerable there (ofc if u get used to the remote+nunchuk controls)
you dont even need to do that if you have a classic/gamecube controller, but yeah definitely
Man, I wish I got to this part as a kid
The rollercoaster to the bobsledding section was so insane
His capabilities are beyond human limits...
When I was little I literally stopped the game at this section bc I couldn’t get past a certain point
I suprisingly had alot of fun playing this stage only i really hate the part where your in the roller-coaster. It was so difficult to control that thing
So apparently the game isn't bad, it just came out 10 years too early.
It never was.

Eggmanland is by far the hardest level in the game.

It's so hard that Eggmanland and NeYoke from Sonic Speed Simulator are the same 😮
New Yoke is actually from Sonic Prime, but then showed in Sonic Speed simulator
My eyes watered that high a score. 30m was one of time challenges, you cut by less than a 1/3 of it
*If you play Unleashed, do not play Eggmanland. Eggman knows how to play with weapons and intelligence.*
