Sonic 2: The Secret Zones (SHC '22) ✪ All Hidden Locations (1080p/60fps)

[@Ariscott56]

I like what this mod was trying to do, but there's some things just don't really seem right. The zones should secret zones should be somewhat similar and different from each other (such as Emerald Hill Zone.) New bosses should've been used besides the ones in the base game, considering how pre-existing fan games nowadays likely have custom bosses since early release. This is a great start for the mod, but I know they can improve a bit at making it unique and original. Thanks for Thursday's upload man ✌🏾💯

This mod really is great, but there is some thoughts about the secret level transitions. Here, I got my own set of transitions. First off, I should remove Casino Night Zone Variants (Proto A, Proto B, and Emerald), leaving 3 new zones to be picked from the list. Here, I chose Tropical Plant Zone, Blue Lake Zone, and Olympus. Here's the complete list of secret transitions! Emerald Hill Zone's Pit should lead to Wood Zone. It kinda makes sense as Wood Zone's Level ID (02) is close to Emerald Hill Zone's (00). Chemical Plant Zone should have a tube leading to Tropical Plant Zone. Aquatic Ruin Zone Act 2 should have a pit leading to Olympus. Casino Night Zone Act 2 should have a pathway leading to Olympus. People might not like this, but Hill Top Zone Act 1's 1st Pit should lead you to Hidden Palace Zone. Oil Ocean Zone should have a pathway that leads to Blue Lake Zone. There should be a transition from Mystic Cave to Sand Shower Zone, as I don't think transitioning from Oil Ocean is the best idea. [Bonus: Sand Shower Zone should have Proto Oil Ocean's Music] I think this transition is okay: From Metropolis Zone Act 3's Pit to Cyber City Zone A. I think falling down from Sky Chase should transition you to Rock World. Rock World itself should then lead to Snowy Winter Zone, which then leads to Cyber City Zone B. Falling down from Airship Fortress should lead to Snowy Winter Zone. Death Egg Zone should have a pit that can lead you to Cyber City Zone B, for an alternate final fight and ending. Fun fact: If this was done, every zone in the game would have a secret area.

[@oriongurtner7293]

Oil Ocean into Sand Shower makes more sense, Oil Ocean takes place on a poorly managed oil refinery in the desert

[@GasterBlasterMaster21]

@@oriongurtner7293 Now that I think about it, Mystic Cave Zone should have a transition to Blue Lake Zone, instead of Sand Shower Zone. What you have said is actually true, Oil Ocean Zone should indeed go to Sand Shower Zone. My earlier self thought it was weird transitioning from oil to sand. 😕

[@Thekindagoodgamertelevisionpho]

​@@oriongurtner7293well,the ground isn't sand, it's oil, and this is sonic 2 not sonic 4 episode II

[@gabrielsmith8001]

Honestly, Hill top's secret zone should have been Rock world, due to the backgrounds looking like they connect

[@mayracordero382]

These secret zones like rock blast zone is amazing so I like these zones!

[@E_GAMING-b7z]

What? You mean rock world zone right?

[@mayracordero382]

Yes

[@souptaels]

Let's just ignore the fact that besides Oil Ocean and Sky Chase, these transitions don't make any sense. Emerald Hill's secret zone transition would imply that Emerald Hill is in the sky. Also, I wish they made the bosses in these secret zones more original than just reusing the same bosses. Overall, kinda let down.

[@joeyedwardintal8211]

No actually, emerald hill might not be in the sky but rock world could’ve been underground.

[@ShadowTheHedgehog8721]

Its a Hill. The trasition to rock world actually makes Sense, well at least to me.

[@souptaels]

@@joeyedwardintal8211 well that wouldn't really make sense since Rock World has a sky as you can see in the background. If it was a cave bg instead, then I wouldn't mind it (it's practically using Mystic Cave's tileset anyways, so missed opportunity, it seems)

[@FoxMan_FF]

There's some subtle updates to this from the last time I saw it! Specifically all the new cosmetic changes to Casino Night and the music in Sand Shower/Snowy Winter! They actually slowed the tracks down and used different instruments now which is really neat to see. While I definitely agree the the level transitions are a bit nonsensical I like what this is trying to do. Hopefully we'll see the updated demo of Time Quest soon to show us a take on the proper version of Sonic 2 we never got. 👌

The only thing I hate about this game is when you have to only use the locations of the deleted levels instead of finishing the undeleted level because since the 2013 version it has the location of the hidden palace and I hope they add an option to access the deleted levels after Phase and With a Location at the Same Time Since They Are Deleted Levels But This Is The Best Sonic 2 Hack Rom Ever!

[@SewerYum]

I believe it is because if you load hidden palace using a game genie on the final version of sonic 2 it plays track 10 (unused), not the Simon Wai 2p mystic cave.

[@BenRai2k]

​@@SewerYum I believe the sound test 10 track was probably too. The place is special. Why would it use another stages theme? I don't think mystic cave music has any sense of secrecy or prestige related to a hidden palace. The slower pace adds a lot of regality to the long forgotten location. Maybe once it was for a cut scene, but seems like not belong before cutting it they used track 10 as an actual stage theme.
