I don’t like the auto running sections in boost levels and skyscraper scamper has two of em. Not to mention a lot of things in this level don’t feel well designed for the boost such as the drifting sections and the tubes you have to run across. Boost is best when it’s linear and I’d def put levels like arid sands, windmill isle, or savannah citadel where you have full control the whole time over this

I would vouch for Egg Fleet as the best level from Heroes. It's so climactic, running along the flying battleships in the sky. Not to mention the sense of speed and danger of it all, being super high up, and free falling down to the next ship is always exhilarating. The bigger Shark Battle Cruisers are so cool, and you go through them destroying it at the end before moving to the next section. It's so hype. There's some excellent shortcuts, the music goes hard of course, and the general sense of urgency and thrill is amazing. Not to mention it's quite long. I remember finally A Ranking it and clocking in at around 5 minutes. Definitely the level I replay the most. It's such a great level.

Eggmanland is the best level in Unleashed imo. It’s a difficult level, you’re constantly switching between Day and Night gameplay, there’s a lot of branching paths, it tests all of your skills, and the concept of Eggmanland itself had been built up since Sonic adventure. So ye I like it a lot :3

GREAT 👌 CHAOMIX SONIC GAMES 🎮 BEST LEVEL VIDEO.

[@vivyblue]

Personally, Quartz Quadrant is my favorite Sonic CD level, as I think it's the perfect showcase of the game's mechanics. It manages to naturally implement the speed and momentum classic Sonic is known for, while still keeping the scale and exploration aspect that CD's other levels have. It's still large and vertical like any other CD stage, but still manages to be fast-paced with it's many different pathways and gimmicks. It's surprisingly easy to time travel, and the robot generators are placed in easy and smart locations. They aren't hard to find, but you still have to do some exploring, and make the best use of Sonic's physics. Plus, the JP music for each time zone absolutely slaps.

Imo Kingdom Valley is easily the best level in 06. It's got expansive level designs, some neat gimmicks, and a great aesthetic. Sonic running across the ocean to catch up the Egg Carrier as it parts around him is genuinely one of my favorite moments in a Sonic game. The level really feels like a summation of what 06 was trying to be, and what it could've been if 06 had the chance to be finished.

I’ll never forget how blown away I was when I first entered Casino Night zone. Not only the incredible creativity of having a level like that in a Sonic game, but also the groovy music and the chill ambience from the simplistic levels and slot machines.

[@ShadowSora8491]

My favourite Zone, in Sonic & Knuckles, is Flying Battery Zone (I can't decide if I like Act 1 or Act 2 better). While it combines aspects of Metropolis Zone and Wing Fortress Zone, it makes them both a lot less frustrating, it also brings in its own unique mechanics to the plate, giving Flying Battery Zone its own identity. The obstacles and enemies also don't slow you down too much. Plus, the music to both acts are still bangers.

-Starlight Zone in Sonic 1 is a really fun and cozy stage before the climax. -Aquatic Ruin is similar to Hydrocity where it's a water level that doesn't always force you to be in the water (the music slaps too). -Both acts of Flying Battery and Lava Reef are a blast to run through. -Twinkle Park is a close 2nd favorite for SA1 -Metal Harbor may be short, but it requires _perfection_ to get that A Rank. Especially since I'm bad at the rocket skip. -Egg Fleet is just hype. -Kingdom Valley has an awesome aesthetic and the waterfall segment at the end is tense and exciting (mainly in Project 06, but still) I-only ever played UnWiished, so uhhh... Rooftop Run? I don't remember -Terminal Velocity may just be a straight line, but it's still hype. -Modern Seaside Hill is probably the best designed level in the entire franchise. There's a ridiculous amount of variety in how you run through it. -Honeycomb Highway is decent i guess -Capital City is probably the level I replayed the most (which isn't saying much). I like the constant gravity switching. -I have a hard time remembering which Cyberspace Stage is which, but there's one on Island 4 that has the city aesthetic and the spinning spike balls that I find really challenging.

[@Compucles]

Just don't wind up in the underground section with the rotating discs. That part is a nightmare to get through.

[@Blue_Drones.]

My favorite zone is Launch Base. The old tracks for the zone gave it such a secret spy mission-like feeling as if you were sneaking into Eggman's base without him knowing your in there. The present version of the track for Act 1 (In Sonic Origins) gave it such a military-base feeling. And the level layout is so fitting, having you take spinning elevator platforms and use tube elevators throughout some parts of the levels. And the fact that there are 3 bosses in Act 2 one of my favorite were Big Arms. This boss gave a good fight for a first appearance, especially how easy it is to beat it when you time your insta-shield correctly.

[@mattashworth9744]

I know this is a year old but man it's good to see someone else give Launch Base some love. I'd argue that Launch Base is the best zone in Sonic 3, especially with the boss rush at the end of Act 2. The music absolutely slaps, the transition to Big Arms is incredibly well done for how short it is (and we can't ignore how much of an iconic banger that final boss theme is), and overall the zone is challenging without necessarily being unfair. Easy 10/10, everything you could want out of an oldschool Sonic level.

[@sirkjohno0129]

Egg Fleet is probably my favourite level in the whole series. The intro that creates a powerful atmosphere as you travel across Eggman's armada, a range of enemies to run through - including the E2000 that are introduced in this level - a nice mix of utility between the character types, and I love the music!

I have always loved Sonic’s levels. They are fast and visually appealing. They could be anything as well considering Sonic’s world is so unpredictable. The possibilities are endless.

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

I've always said "hy-dross-ity" (rhyming with "velocity") because it's the first water level fast enough for Sonic to run along the top of the water. "Velocity" roughly defines as a synonym for "speed," which is what Sonic is known for. Heck, Sonic's name is the word for the speed of sound, and the transformation he receives with all seven Chaos Emeralds is the word for the speed of light

Plus, the level has a distinct “decent into the unknown” aesthetic that somehow makes the arctic look interesting. Kudos!

[@thephenomenaldev8521]

I think Sonic 2's best zone was Aquatic Ruin. Why? Because it feels like what a Sonic water level SHOULD be! The music slaps, the boss is creative, you're ALLOWED to go fast, yes, the enemy placement is mid, I know that. But overall, I think everything about this zone is amazing! And, if you're good enough, you can avoid the water! Being fast was something that was limited in certain areas like Chemical Plant for me, but Aquatic Ruin? Man oh man, was it a breath of fresh air! Just having that feeling of Sonic going so fast, that he literally flies off the screen, jumping so high, being able to maintain momentum for more than five seconds, and the level design, IS PERFECTO. Okay well, not really. There are flaws. But the actual design and platforming of this level actually allow for a great, fun Sonic experience! Unlike levels like Metropolis, or Chemical Plant, which I dreaded a LOT, I was always excited to play Aquatic Ruin, ever since I first played the zone, Aquatic Ruin has solidified itself as my downright favorite Sonic level of all time!

[@Hiushisan]

For SA2, it's Metal Harbor all the way for me. Super fun, fast paced, not too long, shortcuts at every turn, even some fun hidden secrets like that one tower that has a single ring hidden on top of it. And the music sounds sounds like you're going on vacation.

Sonic CD Collision Chaos: I really love the aesthetic and music of it. Sonic 2 Casino Night: It’s kinda underrated I’d say it’s just as iconic as Chemical Plant I love the whole Las Vegas aesthetic of it. Sonic 3 Ice Cap: The very first Ice level in the Sonic Series has a very cool first impression (pun intended?) with the snowboarding and plus I really love Ice Levels in video games and hate the Summer. Sonic Adventure Final Egg: A very fun finale to Sonic’s Story and deserves more love. Sonic Adventure 2 Metal Harbour: Sonic escaping from the G.U.N Military and that part where you race up to the rocket in 15 seconds and can go for extra score points. Sonic Heroes Frog Forest: I love the music level design, grinding on vines and the cute froggies that make it rain! Sonic 06 Kingdom Valley: I love the medieval setting, turning on switches to grind on wind or is it water? And the Mach Speed Section is very cool Sonic Unleashed Holoska/Cool Edge: Yup another cool ice level! Sonic Colors Starlight Carnival: I music gets me hyped and I like the aesthetic Sonic 4 Casino Street: I love Casino Levels! Sonic Generations Classic City Escape: I love the little nod in the music to Endless Mine from Sonic 3 Competition Mode Sonic Lost World: I haven’t played nor beat it. Sonic Mania Mirage Saloon: I love the Wild West Vibes, Shooting yourself from a Gun and the Pinball Sections Sonic Forces: Have not played or beat it. Sonic Frontiers: I share the same opinion as Chaomix on that one.

You don't need to specify that you haven't beat a game if you haven't ever played it. If you've never played it, then we already know you haven't beat it lmao.

@10:12 I recently learned that the lead singer of Crush 40, Johnny Gioeli went to the same highschool as me. And this past weekend I COULDVE gone to one of his local concerts I was gonna get my guitar signed by him and Jun Senoue, but I learned about it too late :(

6:59 Funnily enough, you first showed my favorite classic Sonic level to this date and then switched to Sky Sanctuary

[@firehedgehog1446]

I hate the Hydro City vs Hydrossity arguement, Hydro-City makes more sense in my opinion & no other level in the ENTIRE SONIC TRILOGY uses a play on words name so the whole arguement of "Hydrossity" being a play on "Velocity" falls apart as well Also Hydro City is among the unlockable music in Sonic Generations & there it is actually spell as "Hydro City", so I have no fuckin clue why Sonic Mania removed the space, honestly there is no viable justification for it after Generations corrected it

After all these years, I FINALLY got a proper explanation of what Sonic 3 and Knuckles is LOL

[@NextGenGaming365]

Rooftop run act 2 is the best stage in Generations

I love Casino Night in Sonic 2. Reminds me a lot of Las Vegas at night. It's even sweeter if you can win the jackpot!

[@rodrickheffley4830]

So basically you reeeeaaally like city levels.

[@SonicTheCutehog]

For Sonic CD, if you're going for the good ending by destroying all of the robot generators, then Stardust Speedway is one of the worst zones in the game. The surplus of booster pads and alternating pathways makes it hard to explore the level. Generally, I'd say Quartz Quadrant is the best level in the game.

-Ice cap zone from 3 -Flying battery from knuckles -crisis city from 06 -rooftop run from generations

[@albino_garfield]

When he mentioned Sky Sanctuary twice, I loved it. Sky Sanctuary is criminally underrated

[@KevinFraser-hu7jp]

Hydrocity is (i think) Hydro City because its like a sunken city or smth

[@Kinitawowi]

I was watching the Chemical Plant 2 section waiting for the moment when you said "I'm just messing, obviously it's Casino Night 1". That moment never came. Chemical Plant 2 is ass, with the meanest and most unforgiving underwater trudge in the series. Casino Night is a special kind of bottled lightning; maybe diminished by its endless rehashes, but there are entire games that exist because of this one act.

[@KOTSOSMC2002]

Not Crisis City for 06? Aw man, Crisis City 😌👌

[@Meh-meh-meh-meh-meh]

I really love Palmtree Panic because it’s extremely fun to go through,Though its name is a bit deceiving since the Palmtrees ain’t panicking.
