"i started to think like a dimps dev" is the funniest way iv ever seen someone think now ima just think, "how would sonic team design a level like this?" every time i play a sonic game now LMAO also happy birthday

I'm glad I participated as much as I could in this challenge while chatting. Can't wait for what Sonic Superstars brings to us in the 2D games. Happy birthday, Emerldd! Also, that ending. Get balls crushed LMAO

Shame the level design in advance 2 is like forces on steroids with it's hold one direction and do nothing else gameplay

[@lazy_bt]

"im dogsh¡t at 2d sonic games" he says, while showing footage of one of the most iconic moments in huge crisis perfectly exemplifying classic dimps incompetence. em my dude, sonic rush is so unfair, i promise everyone dies at least 30 times in that exact spot 😂😂 rush is loads of fun and awesome fast action _but only_ if u know literally every level by heart. it was the first sonic game i ever fully beat and i dont think i coulda done better, monkaS. fantastic work on this video man and happy (belated) birthday!!!! 🎉 🤠✨

[@Emerldd]

Oh yo lazy! Hope you’ve been well! :D also thank you 🥳

[@SheepStar8]

I'm pretty sure I remember numbers showing up in the background of Cybertrack that changed in and out but I can't find any pictures of it online. It either is an original hardware thing or my memory has imprinted a fake background image in my mind. Thanks, for lying again brain!

[@octogorb9853]

Personally not a speedrunner but i always find it surprising how fast Sonic games can be beaten. Great content as usual and sorry if ive been rude the last few days.

[@Emerldd]

theyre pretty short games honestly! i think especially the older games were just meant to be replayed a lot. also not to mention the OG versions have a life system and its SUPER easy to die. kinda inflates difficulty and duration you know?

[@octogorb9853]

@@Emerldd not to mention I believe S1 and S2 if you game over you restart the whole game.

Thats fair, i just wanted to get the really bad game gear games out of the way LOL i REALLLLY dont like those games and playing them when i would be tired later on didnt seem like the play but i think youre right, would have been better for the video

I actually like the games developed by dimps and I barely ran into death pits

[@Emerldd]

i think theyre ok for the most part but MAN everytime i started to like the games they threw me into another death pit >:(

[@AlvinPlayz997]

If you didn't do the Game Gear Games, you probably would have completed Mania

[@Emerldd]

Well then I also would have completed less games so 🤷‍♂️ sad I didn’t get to play mania tho

@@Emerldd I know. Mania was the best 2d game in the list.(If you prefer S3&K over Mania, please excuse my biast opinion)

Ah classic dimps always put bottomless pit and put difficulty spike they never change 😅

Hello, i would like to notify you that Sonic 1&2 Game Gear is actually different from the genesis with different levels and different storyline.

i probably could have tried to figure that out but it would have meant i had to play more game gear games LMAOOO

I suck at 2d games. I couldn’t even beat the first level of sonic advance 3

[@Emerldd]

NO LIE that level was super annoying. It was hard to tell if it was just a bad level or if i was just so exausted while playing. so maybe that stage is actually kinda weird

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

you know ds emulators give you options to add a gap between the screens akin to the space between them in a real DS, right?

[@Emerldd]

yeah i was trying to mess with it but the gap that made it feel the most natural would have made me make the screens a LOT smaller than they all ready were. I would have been down to make one screen the main but theres too much back and forth to make it watchable :(

[@LordSanctify]

you might have to start over since there's no rush adventure :(

[@Emerldd]

Rush Adventure was def a game i was considering because i WANTED to play it but HowLongtoBeat said it was gonna take a super unreasonable amount of time. If the goal wasnt to beat as many as I could I would have been so down for that

SHEEEESH thank you! Samuraisaac did a killer job on this one

[@petesoys6348]

I love Advance 3. It's by far my favorite of the trilogy, and I'm sure that if you weren't so tired, you might’ve enjoyed all of the Advance games a bit more. I also suggest trying out Sonic Battle in case you try and replay the Advance games. Advance 3 is actually connected to it storywise, so going through Battle's story might make playing through the game a little bit more fun. Also, specific character combos allow you to cheese levels even more. I'd suggest pairing Sonic with Cream, Tails with Amy, same with Knuckles if you're trying to speed run the game (just don't pair him with Sonic), Amy with Sonic, and Cream with Knuckles. Especially that last one for Chaos Angel Act 3, as Cream gets a little shield thanks to Cheese, which helps fend off the enemies easier. Just thought I'd give some tips.

[@Emerldd]

id like to give advance 3 another chance! advance 2 was REALLY good though! prob my fav from the challenge! ill def take note of this stuff tho!
