YOOO HOLY SMACK ITS THE SUNSET VERSION OF CHEMICAL PLANT ZONE I MADE 2 YEARS AGO IN THE THUMBNAIL! this is actually pretty awesome

that was made by sega too

Sonic Mania is the better game, by a pretty large margin. But that being said, and I do mean this respectfully, you offered very little argument or support for your thesis. Everything you said was extremely subjective without actual analysis of the level designs in each game beyond very broad statements. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the video, but I think this is better labeled as an opinion piece rather than an analysis.

The bosses in superstars might be original but they suck!!!!

Nicely

A fantastic analysis of this game, in my opinion. That theme of finality and living life struck me hard as a kid, the final scene with Sonic and Merlina in particular, accompanied by a fantastic song by the band I grew up with (Crush 40 with "Live Life"), moved me to tears as a 10 year old plagued with this same fear of things ending. This game's story had an impact on me as I moved into my teenage years and now as an adult, "Live Life" is still truly a special song to me. Thank you for this video, it perfectly sums up the thoughts I have as well.

We need to bring back the dislike button

Labyrinth Zone is something that you felt annoyed when first few play through, but gets better when you feel nostalgic and skilled enough. It gives some special points to Sonic 1. While sky chase zone has zero replayable value 1:02:20 nah we need to thank you for making great content for the sonic franchise

the amount of drool was coming out of my mouth hanging open when he said chemical plant at 9

Can we not equate sampling to stealing

I wish 😢

Idk about this City Escape. Most Act 2 stages feel good in Gens to me, but this one is the one that lefts me thinking "... Meh ..." like I just played a Forces level. The reason being, the level doesn't really reward you a lot for the paths you try to think about, the whole skatebord section is made to be better in a straight line, the car section takes a fat chunk of the level, and the 3D ones are much inferior to their SA2 counterparts, there is little room to express your skill in this level overall, and it just feels a little boring as a result.

14:51 as a platformer-lover, I'm actually not a fan of bosses in any game. I would be completely OK with a game without bosses at all.

This shit was barely worth 15 dollars and they made it full price 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why is Zero in this game

i have been wondering pondering if you will is shadow generations main line or is it a spin off title before we get sonic frontiers 2
