Sonic Mania - Hydrocity Zone (All Acts + Boss)

[@KashRulez214]

I just realized that in Sonic Mania, you actually go backwards in Hydrocity to go back to the surface of Angel Island where you left the Tornado. Found this out because of the original background of both acts being swapped + the OG miniboss of the 1st act being the boss of act 2. The attention to detail in this game is absolutely breathtaking.

[@Man_Noob_real]

That's cool

[@DAJTheYouTuber_2007]

so that's why there's no crushing wall in Act 2?

[@TheLastSheikah]

I love the background of this zone... it always made me feel as if the city stretches out for miles into the background

[@kelper_]

It reminds me that it's actually a fucking city

[@imliterallyadachi]

it's a sewer system for angel island wym

[@achromaticghost]

​@@kelper_ sorry to break it to ya but its a sewer system

[@randorandom9494]

It reminds me of Castlevania

[@RVC1510]

I’m surprised seeing so many people saying they hate Hydrocity Zone. It was by far my favorite level on Sonic 3. The music is awesome too.

[@diosmeganut2259]

Music cool drowny drowny water not cool

[@theminebloxcraft5779]

because act 2 boss

[@Hydro66]

People only hate Hydrocity because they’re bad at the level, so they end up on the lower pathway which is slow-paced and filled with water. The reason why Hydrocity is brilliant is because it puts such an emphasis on selecting the optimal pathway through the level.

[@theminebloxcraft5779]

_ Hydrociraptor _ yeah in act 2 you can avoid 90% of the water if you do the right platforming

[@JJRClassic88]

The music in these games are phenomenal.

[@eb937]

12:48 - That is the appropriate true boss for this zone. This boss was way too hard as a miniboss in Sonic 3 due to limited opportunities to hit him, along with a tightly confined space which is always controlled by him.

[@percival5609]

In sonic 3 it was way too easy lol

[@murphmariotwopointoh7714]

Not to mention the Act 2 boss theme played when fighting it in the original version of Sonic 3 (though that was fixed in Sonic 3 & Knuckles).

[@MCYTJHONY]

Wdym I suck ass at any sonic game I play and that was probably one of the easiest boss in a sonic game

[@ryandiggs750]

It was a fair challenge boss

[@ryandiggs750]

He was fair on Sonic 3

[@LeonardoCollywell2004]

13:30 What the heck was that?! Tails’ face makes perfect sense here XD Also, why is everyone getting mad at him/her for not being good at the game? You don’t have to be the best at it to have fun with it.

[@Hadaron]

@Holden The Gamer This isn’t a walkthrough and it doesn’t claim to be.

[@Hadaron]

@Holden The Gamer Nope. It’s just showing gameplay for people like me who want to see what the game’s contents are.

[@Justforvisit]

@@Hadaron It's also way more "honest" for the average gamer when he can see what happens when you take damage etc.

[@lol5776]

Haven't seen anyone mention this but I like how in Hydrocity Act 2, they teach you how to fight the first phase of Eggman by making sonic touch the bombs. That's really neat game design to show a mini tutorial without having a spell it out for the player.

[@fredh1720]

It's something I love to see in games, and it's not the only situation it's used in Sonic Mania. Press Garden Zone Act 1 they do the same thing, and it's really refreshing to see in a series which has never shied away from hint rings, or audible instructions. I really hate that.

[@WishyBoz6]

As soon as you hear the music start, you now you're in for some good times.

[@doogie2934]

And as soon as you hear Ice Cap Zones music you know your in for some *Hard Times.*

[@DigitalWraith]

Then you see the gameplay and realize you were wrong.

[@JJRClassic88]

Seriously, the composers who created the music for a lot of these early games should've also wrote songs for J-pop artists on the side.

[@kelper_]

And then you recognise the music, all of your past traumas coming back to you as you realise you're going to have to drown in style again for the next 45 minutes of your life.

[@JNest1]

@@DigitalWraithsounds like a you problem, cause Hydrocity is brilliant Edit: I am a fucking idiot lol

[@kidpresident_1475]

Reminds me of being a kid, walking around the lake to my friend's house to play this game and then going to swim in the pool. I was like 6 years old. Good Times 🙂

I never went super sonic in this zone cause i love the music

[@dedmeem3383]

The greatest water level in video game history. Hydrocity is creative, beautiful, and most important of all, lots of fun!

[@persondy-t]

6:43 Well well, how the turntables

[@pookiewood]

One of my favorite all time Video Game tunes

[@benjaminfield4888]

The second half of the second boss fight is actually the original act one boss fight from hydro city zone in sonic 3 and knuckles

[@nox5629]

Sonic 3 & knuckles

[@oloferiksson4179]

This zone has the best music in all of the classic sonic games, and mania only improves on it!

[@josebarrios5223]

Hey lava reef music is badass too❤

[@NatetheNintendofan]

Literally by the beginning of the Zone I had 13 lives and then by the end I only had four because of the bosses especially the second one

[@gneu1527]

I hate the drowning theme so much on the boss for Hydrocity act 2. I wish there was an option to disable the drowning theme. It really interrupts the boss theme.

[@MinaAndroidside]

Bro sonic 3 was my 2nd sonic game as a kid and I remembered I always got stuck at this stage lol but I'm glad they made a remake of it!!

[@kylefinn5301]

Now THIS is how you do a water level

[@aaronallwood3562]

13:29 Cool water glitch

[@tylerkam84]

At 0:04 that's the Hydrocity act 2 background and at 7:15 that's the Hydrocity act 1 background, but they both look different from the Sonic 3 game.

[@dtadex]

they're going backwards because they're going to pick up the Tornedo they left on Angel Island

[@Sir_axlROD]

@@dtadex that also explains why the level desing is way diferent in the act 1

[@MarcoEcija]

Hydrocity music theme is just so f fantastic

[@ThisCaptainLilDude]

4:32 OH! Tails got crushed! lol

[@paweldropa9797]

I watched this a million times and this is my favorite zone e

Can we just get an F in the chat for Tails?

[@kittyboochanyesbongono8467]

I despise Hydrocity Zone in Sonic Mania, especially the Act 2 Boss

[@JNest1]

Why?

[@danisavedbychrist]

If you don't like this zone why not? First it has awesome music especially if it's remixed and it's not too hard even in encore with ray and knuckles (if you have those)

[@HeardHercules]

I wish it never existed

[@Lulu.mp4]

I LOVE Hydrocity

[@natay3688]

Act 2's Boss Gave me a fuckton of Game Overs,But i managed to beat it.

[@reighnaldranch635]

As much as I thought... Act 1 is more of a water level.

[@joaodepaula]

I Need this Game!

[@alexandreamancio4706]

@José Pala é mesmo

[@ratboyOwO]

why does hydrocity have its backgrounds swapped

[@adelyasser00]

Act style is swapped yet the music isn't which is trippy when you notice it.

[@juandirection3751]

In 3&K they're headed from Angel Island to the next zone. In Mania they're headed TO Angel Island, Lava Reef to be specific. At least I believe that's why

[@DAJTheYouTuber_2007]

doesn't Mania occur after 3&K tho?

[@zh1ck887]

Hydrocity zone is my favourite stage in sonic 3 and I don't care if it's a water level because this stage is easy

[@blissfulzane715]

HydroCity is among the few water levels in video games that don’t feel like a bore. Whoever designed the original & Mania’s version know how to make a water level good.

[@NightMourningDove]

Honestly one of my favorite eggman bosses here

[@AceDetectiveKirigiri]

Hydrocity is harder said than done, it looks hard but when you played it yourself its actually easy

[@cooljrgaming9729]

I literally have 2 Mania save files both stuck at Hydrocity.

@@cooljrgaming9729 thats a you problem, i beat hydrocity without dying

9:29. That is fast !!!!! 10:44

[@DJA592]

This level is about speed that why this is the best water level on sonic games

[@misterneckbreaker88]

Great stage but they could have done a better job with the act 2 boss too easy. They could have tweaked the movement and why does the side wall blow out and not fly through the roof to land on the plane...

Something that never made sense in hydrocity zone mania vers. Was why they used the act 2 background for act one and the act 1 background for act 2 background? Hope that made sense..

[@taystephens2490]

Good question

[@EliteEpicGamerz]

Maybe we are going backwards through the city?

You're going backwards through Hydrocity back to the surface of Angel Island where the Tornado was left off at.

Bro, just let them play the game for fuck sake. They don't have to be a god at the game to be able to have fun, don't bash on the player for trying to have a good time! Keep playing big man, and I'm sure you'll be able to beat the game with a lot more ease!

Why they exchanged the zone background?

[@KrainXPlayz]

I know I'm late by 2 years but I don't care. It's because they are going backwards, they try to go back to Angel Island zone to get Tornado. Explains why they have the Tornado again in Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1.
