Sonic generations is probably better to just have a lot of dlc

[@Sairot247]

No, classic Sonic in Generations needs a lot of adjustments, a sequel would be nice to improve on those things

[@officialpoppyperson]

​@Sairot247 He controls well, his levels are a lot better than we gave them credit for initially. My only issue with him in Generations is the lack of momentum gathered when rolling downhill. The spindash is "op" only once you already understand the layout of his stages. Nine out of ten times you spindash jump over an obstacle, it's either flat terrain that's made to be spindashed over or you hit a wall. I wish I could've slept with my friend's mother.

[@Sairot247]

@@officialpoppyperson nah, there's a reason they made a "classic Sonic Improvement mod" and there's a reason they tried so much to replicate the original physics in Superstars I prefeer classic Sonic over modern games, but I never play his stages in Generations, not even with the improved physics mod, it feels off, the levels are extremely slow and the camera it's too close. It isn't the same as classic games, it has a lot to improve

[@officialpoppyperson]

@Sairot247 Fair. There's just a different design philosophy in Generations that I prefer to having a direct port of the classics. Especially now since the classics can be played on literally anything.

[@keelanbarron928]

​@@Sairot247....nah.

[@RinoDino64]

I have an idea: Considering that you made this list with the consideration of not repeating level themes, it kinda makes this hypothetical Generations 2 feel more like a companion-piece to the original game. So... to add in another twist, how about we play the Generations 2 levels in reverse order? In Generations 1, you start with oldest game and go to the most modern (at the time). In Generations 2, you'd start with the newest game and finish with the oldest.

[@sylvery_]

I honestly think thats a must. I feel like the decisions made in this video feared treading on themes from Generations 1 way too much and the zone selection doesnt make much sense progression or difficulty wise. Scrap Brain Zone makes zero sense as an opening level, but it could definitely be the stage before the final boss because..it was

[@TKG785]

I feel like the spin-offs need some rep. It's a very creative idea Imagine Babylon Garden as a stage. The OG Riders version for Classic and the Zero Gravity version for Modern. Imagine instead of one level from Secret Rings, it's a continuous stage that flips to different levels from Secret Rings.

[@charmyzard]

Second one sounds crazy sick. I need this now. Same for Black Knight?

[@TKG785]

@@charmyzard I imagine since Black Knight didn't lean harder into taking place in a book, it would be the map reworked as a stage instead.

[@RenasMayi]

Since Sonic Colors and Generations have been renewed for new gen consoles, I want Sonic Unleashed to come back!

[@TKG785]

@RenasMayi Imagine all the new features they could squeeze in. A Chip mode where you can take pictures of levels and play "I-Spy" with your friends online. A multi-player mode where you and your friends can beat up enemies together as different colored Werehogs.

[@RenasMayi]

@@TKG785 honestly dude that'll be awesome! But the part where you said 2 players as 2 werehogs is too good to be true so I don't think that will ever happen. Developers just don't care to add 2 player modes anymore

[@TKG785]

@@RenasMayi Yeah... local multi-player is not as common due to online multi-player. But I'm optimistic. Plus they can make it online in addition.

[@willshipman4569]

Bro fr ive been saying this a unleashed remaster (or sonic heros) would be peak

[@shonenbois]

Imagine a 3D level of Music Plant from Sonic Advance 2. That would be awesome and it would be so vibrant with the color like Seaside hill in Generations

[@MilesReset]

Dimps should have used that zone in the 3DS version

[@TKG785]

I can't help but agree with the general consensus that Generations 3DS should've focused on the handheld games.

[@bananaguy238]

@@TKG785 what's funny is that a game containing more portable history was planned for the 3ds and psp versions but psp version got scrapped and they were under time constraints (as usual) so they just opted to make 3ds generations more in line with the console/pc versions

[@TKG785]

@bananaguy238 I've heard that before. Seems like almost every Sonic Game has time constraints to some extent.

[@MartynAndStuff]

- Studiopolis Zone (SM) - Sunset Heights/Metropolitan Highway (Make your choice)(SForces) - Windy Hill (LW) - Music Plant Zone (SAd2) - Speed Jungle Zone (SS) - (As an out there picks) Game Land (Colors) Not the most original ideas but still...

[@milesfernando]

Windy Hill would suck considering it's just Green Hill, there's much better worlds to use in Lost World- like Generations doesn't have a winter level for example.

[@MartynAndStuff]

@@milesfernando That's the issue. I was looking through all the stages in Lost World and none of them really jumped out to me (besides the DLC stages) and I wasn't sure what level was the 'fan favourite' so I just opted for the GH expy as that was the one I was most familiar with and just figured some Lost World features could be implemented like running upside down or parkour. I also considered the first zone in Superstars or Frontiers but that point I'd already settled on Windy Hill as the grassy area. Unrelated but I also considered the first area of the Master System/Game Gear version of Sonic 2

[@RameNoodls]

@@MartynAndStuffI mean could of use silent forest because the 2d lvls have cool ruin structures and instead of speed jungle could of used cyber station

[@charmyzard]

Why not Dragon Road (2) from Lost World? It has a memorable soundtrack in an attempted tenser moment.

[@Dairunt1]

- Emerald Hill (Sonic 2) - Quartz Quadrant (Sonic CD) - Windy Valley (Sonic Adventure) - Hang Castle (Sonic Heroes) - Savannah Citadel (Sonic Unleashed) - Lava Mountain (Sonic Lost World) - Press Garden (Sonic Mania) - Sunset Heights (Sonic Frontiers) - Egg Fortress (Sonic Superstars)

[@BioCybergoth]

Emerald Hill Zone AND Hang Castle? you have taste!

[@animosity3771]

Savannah Citadel and Press Garden are amazing choices imo actually nvm your entire list is amazing imo

[@SlashCraftJack]

I would give most anything for Sonic Team to buy the rights to use "Hard Times" in a Modern Ice Cap Zone level for a game/dlc

[@golbat888]

I was also thinking about this and this is my list: -Starlight zone -Mystic Cave zone -Ice Cap zone -Mystic ruins -Metal Harbor -Egg Fleet -I'm not sure about 06 -Dragon Road -Aquarium Park -Haven't played lost world yet -Luminose Jungle -Studiopolis -I'm also not sure about superstars

[@CaptBlock]

I think we should get new bosses and Rivals Genesis era: Knuckles (Rival), Egg Wrecker (from Green Hill) (Boss) "Dreamcast" era: Emerl or Gemerl (Rival), Metal Overlord (Boss) "Modern" era: Blaze (Rival), Nega-Wisp Armor (Boss) Meta era (LW, Mania, Forces): Infinite (Rival), Zavok (Boss) Current era (Frontiers, Superstars): Surge (Rival), Giganto (Boss) Also I'd prefer Press Factory for Mania and Honeycomb Highway for Lost World.

[@pleaseenterausername9516]

For Lost World I would've gone with Seabottom Segue since that's probably the only time I felt wowed by a level visually and musically in lost world.

[@CringusMcDingus]

I would've just chosen Silent Forest

[@austinreed7343]

Quartz Quadrant (Sonic CD) Hydrocity (Sonic 3) Volcanic Valley (3D Blast) Rival: Mecha Sonic (Sonic & Knuckles) Boss: Egg Wrecker (Sonic 1) Pumpkin Hill (Sonic Adventure 2) Music Plant (Sonic Advance 2) Digital Circuit (Shadow the Hedgehog) Rival: Rouge (Sonic Adventure 2) Boss: Metal Madness (Sonic Heroes) Levitated Ruin (Sonic and the Secret Rings) Misty Mine (Sonic and the Black Knight) Pirate's Island (Sonic Rush Adventure) Rival: Babylon Rogues (all 3 at once) Boss: Erazor Djinn Casino Street (Sonic 4) Frozen Factory (SLW)

[@badiiin]

I still can't get over the lost chance for generations 3DS to represent past of the portable Sonic games. You could make a video about a what if Sonic "portable" Generations, with level for the portable Sonic games. About this video, I do like most choices, except for Sonic Mania, I still would go with Studiopolis.

[@PWPictures67]

Here are my picks (I don't know about Frontiers and haven't played Superstars.) 01. Spring Yard Zone (Sonic 1) 02. Mystic Cave Zone (Sonic 2) 03. Hydrocity Zone (Sonic 3) 04. Windy Valley (Sonic Adventure) 05. Metal Harbor (Sonic Adventure 2) 06. Grand Metropolis (Sonic Heroes) 07. Aquatic Base (Sonic ’06) 08. Jungle Joyride (Sonic Unleashed) 09. Asteroid Coaster (Sonic Colors) 10. Honeycomb Highway (Sonic Lost World) 11. Studiopolis Zone (Sonic Mania) 12. Park Avenue (Sonic Forces)

[@ace_icemaster8157]

Honestly in the case of Sonic 1, I’d go with Labyrinth zone. Mainly for the fact that the main thing with Generations was to take old things and make them better and more modernized, as well as how iconic they are. Labyrinth zone is iconic for it being an infamous water stage within gaming. Silver’s fight from 06 for instance was heavily criticized as well and that got brought back to be completely overhauled so I think that stage would be great to bring back.

[@blueknightskeleton8424]

Okey, thinking about it, would be better if it was a sorta Sonic Mania type of deal, new worlds all around but some old locations all around. - Starlight - Wing Fortress - Ice Cap - Twinkle Park - Either Metal Harbor or Pyramid Cave - Yeah, Hang Castle - idk, Radical Train? - Chun-Nan - idk, wanted to keep Colors stage out, not cuz' a disaproval of the game, but more in game/lore terms. - Make Honeycomb Highway a whole stage rather than one level idk - STUDIOPOLIS - Idk, Sunset Heights is kewl - Yeah, no idea for Frontiers lmao - Yeah, Cyber Station

[@robloxuniverses9912]

I love the levels but this is my way that I would arrange them: Mystic Jungle, Mirage Saloon, Chaos Island, Metal Harbour, Ice Cap, Wind Fortress, Twinkle Park, (i think it’s called Hang Castle or smth), Aquatic Base, Dragon Road, Nightmare Zone, Sweet Mountain, Cyber Station and Scrap Brain (Just maybe change the name up a bit)

[@Gokuorkakarot]

My list: Hill top zone (Sonic 2) Quartz quadrant (Sonic cd) Ice cap (Sonic 3) Windy valley (sa1) Crazy gadget(sa2) Bingo highway (Sonic heroes) Aquatic base (Sonic o6) Eggman land (Sonic unleashed) Terminal velocity (Sonic colors) It’s full of wacky zones

[@animosity3771]

Personally I think Savannah Citadel or Arid Sands (Unleashed), Asteroid Coaster (Colours), and Press Garden (Mania) would be better choices. Any other Unleashed stage could work really well imo but the 2 I mentioned are what I prefer. Also rq I wanna mention that I feel like there were a lot of better picks than Water Palace (Rush) which was in the 3DS version. Also Also I think the rail grinding stages in Lost World where you dodge the mine carts or cave stages could be interesting to see reimagined.

[@staroutofspace4986]

When I thought about this a while back, I took the approach of imagining what Sonic stages could be added to Sonadow Generations so that it still felt like a celebration of ALL of Sonic's history. I landed on Desert Ruins from Lost World, Press Gardens from Mania, and Null Space from Forces. I also chose to imagine the Fang chase from Superstars as a new rival battle, and decided that the boss fight would be either Wyvern or a boss rush against some of the guardians.

[@rbxstrobe]

every time i get some food theres always a new kiro talks video to watch while eating:)

[@Sybry605]

A sequel to generations should've had fully original stages with the same great level design and gameplay of generations tbh, but if i wanna make my own list then... Sonic 1: starlight zone Sonic 2: casino night Sonic 3: ice cap Sonic adventure: emerald coast Sonic adventure 2: final rush Sonic heroes: grand metropolis or the final three stages frog forest, hang castle amd egg fleet(all four are good options Sonic O6: kingdom valley Sonic unleashed: windmill isle or skyscraper scamper Sonic colors: tropical resort Sonic lost world: desert ruins Sonic Mania: studiopolis Sonic forces: egg gate Sonic superstars: speed jungle Honestly, instead they should have done some of these stages as DLC level packs

[@blazyart6183]

I know it will never happen, but I would like to see old levels from the story book series resurface, especially those from Sonic And The Secret Rings, they were really very inspired

[@McSteve6000]

Great video as always. 👍

[@joshuadesousa6668]

Easily Game Gear (Chaos and Triple Trouble), Mania, Superstars, Advance, Rush, Rivals, Forces and Frontiers levels

[@superflameking03]

I feel like your restrictions were way too strict, the level thems should've been more like a "would be nice and is good to strive for" instead of a hard fast rule.

[@sgf51]

Fun Fact: Sonic Forces was called Generations 2 at an early stage of development, this was later changed obviously

[@crubsalt]

Thank you for dropping my goat 🙏

[@extremmefan7305]

This is a pretty cool list, though one thing that strikes me is that you put Scrap Brain as Sonic 1's level and my first thought was "wait, if the others are more beginner friendly... what if instead of starting WITH Sonic 1 and ending at the most recent game's dedicated level, we went through the levels BACKWARDS" (Although Cyber Station and Chaos Island put a bit of a damper on that, given neither are necessarily friendly first stages, much as I love the former) Personally if I had to do a lineup, I'm not sure what restrictions I'd give myself, but here's an attempt based on which stages I probably would've preferred (with the order assumed to be NOT backwards, at least. '^^): - StarLight Zone (1) - Emerald Hill Zone (2, didn't want to start out too crazy) - Ice Cap Zone (3, music might be an issue unless they sneak in the original theme into the Modern remix) - Twinkle Park (Adventure1, I thought it and Ice Cap were excellent choices in your list) - Metal Harbor (Adventure2, same reasoning as above. I didn't want to use any ARK levels because I felt it'd be far more fitting for Shadow to go through them than Sonic) - Casino Park / Bingo Highway (Heroes, having at least one casino stage felt like a must imo and I don't like Forces's) - Kingdom Valley (06. Despite it being in Shadic Gens, I think it's a major enough level for Sonic that I'd prefer it on a Gens 2 than in Shadic Gens where Aquatic Base feels like it'd be far more impactful) - Eggmanland (Unleashed, as you said it has a different vibe to Twinkle Park to a point where I think the difference between them is as big as the one between City Escape and Crisis City, so entirely warranted) - Sweet Mountain (Colors, it's just THE most striking Colors stage imo) -(I legit got nothing for LW although I guess Lava Mountain would cover a stage theme I haven't brought up yet?) - Sunset Heights (Forces, where it's also known as the "City" stages. I like to think it evokes the premise of the Forces storyline better than any other available stage and thus needs a redemption away from being "the straight line level we saw in the demo". Not as lava-y as Lava Mountain for sure either) - Mirage Saloon (Mania. I am just INCREDIBLY biased towards this one given it's one of few Sonic zones based on the Wild West, which is a trope I adore seeing. XD) - Cyber Station (Superstars, moved forward in the order because I think ending on the next one will feel more fitting. This is another one I am EXTREMELY biased in favor of, because the whole "2000s internet world" trope is another I am in absolute LOVE with. XD) - Kronos Island (Frontiers, there's just something about ending on the most eerily serene island that feels right to me, especially if reusing the plot of "the places we've been to so long ago are already fading away as we speak". Yes it's another grassland along with Emerald Hill, but I don't think we should force NO repetition if the candidates are amazing)

[@TheSonicNerd_yt]

Great video kiro! I always enjoy your posts. One question though, why not pick a stage from Sonic Dream Team? Sweet Dreams would make a great level choice, and it's unique!

[@mattdoesanimations]

Bosses + Rivals (my opinion): (All bosses have a pinch mode btw) (And modern sonic carries frontiers combat) (Expect alot of brackets too, lol) (As classic) Rival 1: knuckles (like a 1 on 1 fight) (As classic) Boss 1: egg drillster mk.I (like a chase) (As modern) Rival 2: Rouge (another 1 on 1) (As modern) Boss 2: Egg Golem (just works like how he did in sa2 ig) (As modern) Rival 3: Mephiles (u already know its a 1 on 1) (As modern) Boss 3: Dark Gaia Murray (same thing cuz sonic does have combat) (As Classic) Rival 4: Heavy Shinobi (OFC, 1 ON 1) (As Modern) Boss 4: Zavok (mix off all of his fights, which means he has ig like, 3 phases..? Yeah..i dont remember much of lost world but i think he has 2 fights so 3 phases. GOD that was a mouthful...) Rival 5: Infinite (another mix, yeah modern sonic and avatar all to just sonic.) Boss 5: Giganto (with all emeralds, but i'll explain that in the story) Boss 6: Giga eater (a haywire time eater that not even eggman is controlling and uses the power of sonics friends to create mere imitations of them and u fight them all at once) Not begging, but here's the like goals 20 likes: skill tree 30 likes: white space + chacters included 40 likes: game cycle 50 likes: story Thx for reading!, and feel free to reply if u have changes u wanna make!

[@ProjectMirai64]

Nice vid!

[@dr.sabertooth3025]

Every now and then I imagine what a sonic generations 2 would be like but this video did help with deciding what stages to consider Classic era: -starlight zone -hilltop zone -icecap zone The boss would the egg spinner from sonic cd and the rival fight would be a remix of mecha sonic that adds his attacks from the knuckles route Dreamcast era: -twinkle park -metal harbor -mystic mansion The boss would be the egg hawk from sonic heroes and the rival fight would be gamma on the egg carrier from SA1 ""Modern"" era: -radical train -windmill isle -aquarium park The boss would be the nega wisp armor and the rival fight would be a remix of the two mephiles boss fights from shadows story Modern era: -windy hill zone -studiopolis zone -sunset heights The boss fight would be the heavy magician in mirage saloon and the rival fight would be a remix of the avatars "boss fight" with infinite Bonus era (these are just stages from sonic games since I've thought of this idea/stages and bosses that I think would be cool to see in general): -cyberspace (with the 4 themes mixed into one zone) -bridge island -camalot castle -sand oasis The boss would be giganto from sonic frontiers only this time without the chaos emeralds to give off the same vibe that sonic beating perfect chaos in his base form did in the orignal generations. The rival fight would be jet the hawk and it would invovle you running along side the race track on foot while jet is riding his extreme gear

Some very interesting ideas here. A second Sonic Generations would be pretty awesome. And this is coming from somebody who had never gotten around to finishing playing the first Sonic Generations.

[@basicacorn99]

If you've seen this exact comment in a different video, it's not, I slightly made it different: The only thing I really wanted from a Generations "remaster" is more, newer sonic levels (Windy Hill from Lost World, no sonic boom level ew, Studiopolis from Mania, Sunset Heights from Forces, Kronos Island from Frontiers, and Speed Jungle from Superstars, and I guess i could throw in Scrambled Shores from Dream Team if we're keeping the theme of 9 levels, if the levels from games they missed in Sonic Generations, such as Diamond Dust Zone from 3D Blast, Sand Oasis from Secret Rings, and Water Palace from Rush since it's already in the 3DS version of Generations and 2 storybook levels would be too repetitive, for the bosses it could be one of the Deadly Six or Infinite to cover the first three levels; probably Infinite since both Mania and Forces use the phantom ruby, Giganto or one of the other bosses from Frontiers for the second three levels, and King Arthur for the last three to fill in not including a Black Knight level. But i doubt were getting that since the most we can see theyve done in the trailer is move one of classic sonic's spine up slightly. :/

[@tylerdunnan5059]

Metal harbour and green forest could be one level since the locations are pretty close together. I can already imagine a sequence with Sonic running across the water from one location to the other.

[@ordinary_deepfake]

Cool list

[@keelanbarron928]

Honestly, if i had to choose a level/levels from these games (and not restricting myself like you did), i would choose: Sonic 1: starlight or scrapbrain. Sonic 2: mystic cave. Sonic 3 and knuckles: sandpolis or hydrocity. Classic mini boss: mecha sonic. Classic boss: big arms. SA1: ice cap or twinkle park. SA2: metal harbour or pyramid cave. Heroes: egg fleet or hang castle. Dreamcast mini boss: emerl. Dreamcast boss: egg emperor. 06: aquatic base or white acropolis. Unleashed: eggmanland or dragon road. Colours: sweet mountain or starlight carnival. Modern mini boss: blaze the cat. Modern boss: mephiles the dark. Lost world: frozen factory. Mania: studiopolis or press garden. Forces: luminous forest. Frontiers: any of the city levels. Superstars: cyber station. (To be honest, i would rather these just be dlc levels for sonic x shadow generations.)

[@nintengodagamer]

Alright I haven’t seen anybody comment about what should the bosses be in Sonic Generations 2, so here’s my list for each era Classic Era: Rival boss: Mecha Sonic from Sonic 3 & Knuckles Main boss: Big Arms from Sonic 3 (I know that the 3ds version has big arms but I couldn’t come up with anything else. So this is an HD version of the fight) Adventure Era: Rival boss: Jet The Hawk from SR (I know this looks weird, but since metal sonic was a rival boss in the first Sonic Generations despite not having a Sonic CD stage, I wanted to do something similar here) Main boss: Metal Overlord from SH Modern Era: Rival boss: Mephiles The Dark from S06 Main boss: Nega-mother wisp from SC (ds version) Post-Modern Era: Rival boss: Zavok from Sonic Lost World Main Boss: Death Egg Robot from Sonic Forces And those are the bosses that could be in Sonic Generations 2 in my mind.

2:21 "I won't be factoring in 3DS level themes" 1:50 *blatantly factors in 3DS level theme 30 seconds prior* 5:20 *and again 3 minutes after*

[@silveramyknux241]

11:11 Actually, those last two (Reah and Ouranos) were split from Kronos. Also we could choose Cyberspace. Not a single level from it though, but more so a mix of everything Cyberspace. Maybe even feature levels from all over the game, Gens 1, Shadow Gens, and 3DS Gens in some of Cyberspace’s level design. Maybe we could swap, Cyber Station Zone’s placement with Cyberspace just so we can have a proper final level.

[@YTCyan]

I feel like if we were to get more stages, it would be from games with no representation, probably as DLC. We’re missing stages from: • Sonic CD • Sonic Chaos • Sonic 3 • Sonic Triple Trouble • Sonic Blast • Sonic Advance • Sonic Advance 2 • Sonic Advance 3 • Sonic Rush Adventure • Sonic Lost World • Sonic Mania • Sonic Forces • Sonic Superstars I don’t think we’d get stages from 8-Bit 1+2 (Not enough unique stages), 3D Blast (Not unique enough), Labyrinth (Too hard to adapt), Spinball (It’s just pinball), Pocket Adventure (Literally just Sonic 2), Battle (It’s a fighting game), Rivals 1+2 (Not proper stages), the Riders games (they’re racing games), 4 Episode 1+2 (No unique stages) and Frontiers (No proper stages). I didn’t mention Rush because you can just throw Water Palace in as it was in the 3DS version. Here are my picks for stages: • Stardust Speedway • Turquoise Hill • Ice Cap • Sunset Park • Silver Castle • Casino Paradise • Hot Crater • Toy Kingdom • Sky Babylon • Desert Ruins • Studiopolis • Mystic Jungle • Cyber Station If there were any extra rivals or bosses, I’d probably say: Rivals: • Fang/Nack • Gemerl Bosses: • Egg Wukong • Egg King I don’t think there would be though.

My personal list: Classic Era: Sonic 1: Star Light Sonic 2: Aquatic Ruin Sonic CD: Quartz Quadrant Sonic 3K: Launch Base Rival: Classic Knuckles (Classic Sonic) Boss: Death Egg Robot MK II (Modern Sonic) Momentum Era: SA1: Twinkle Park SA2: Pyramid Cave Heroes: Frog Forest Sonic '06: White Acropolis Rival: NEO Metal Sonic (Modern Sonic) Boss: Solaris (Modern Sonic) Modern Era: Unleashed: Dragon Road Colors: Aquarium Park Lost World: Lava Mountain Mania: Press Garden Rival: Zavok (Classic Sonic) Boss: Heavy King (Classic Sonic) Post-Modern Era: Forces: Sunset Heights Frontiers: Eternal Highway Superstars: Cyber Station Dream Team: Dream Factory (?)

My only issue with the inclusion of Nightmare Zone is that it feels more like a boss rush than an actual level. I do get where you're coming from, but I feel the point of Generations was to put a new spin on old levels while still keeping them familiar.

I would love it if Ice Cap took from both the Sonic 3 and SA1 versions of Ice Cap. Maybe the Classic version could be closer on the Sonic 3 stage while the Modern version could be based on the Adventure version, but elements from both cross over in both acts.

[@crashwing3716]

I haven't played every Sonic game (I'm currently going through them), but I'd like if Sonic Generations would pick two levels from every game this time around, and the ones I'd choose would be: Sonic 1 - Star Light + Spring Yard Sonic 2 - Aquatic Ruin + Mystic Cave Sonic 3&K - Flying Battery + Hydrocity Sonic Adventure - Ice Cap + Red Mountain Sonic Adventure 2 - Metal Harbor + Green Forest Sonic Mania - Studiopolis + Press Garden Sonic Forces - Sunset Heights + Mortar Canyon

[@MittChPlay]

4:10 We could call it the Gamecube era because Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 and Sonic Heroes are on the Gamecube.

[@GalaticalSpacedude]

Hear me out.. give us a boss rush zone

[@choosbehguy]

Personally, I’d rather a Gens 2 go with stages from games that didn’t get stages in the original Generations, at least the console version. I’d group them into three eras, like before, and off the top of my head, I’d go with: Classic Era 2 (idk what to call it) Collision Chaos (CD) Studiopolis (Mania) Lagoon City (Superstars) Rival: Fang Boss: Phantom Egg Spin-Off Era: Colosseum Highway (Rivals) Night Palace (Secret Rings) Deep Woods (Black Knight) Rival: Jet Boss: King Arthur Future Era: Frozen Factory (Lost World) Sunset Heights (Forces) Eternal Highway (Frontiers) Rival: Sage Boss: Death Egg Robot (Forces) I’d much rather these be additions to the original generations, and some of my picks are definitely more random, but I think it’d be cool to give the other games a chance to shine

[@AquilusDesign]

My zone wishlist for a Generations 2 would be: Starlight Zone Hill Top Zone Collision Chaos/Quartz Quadrant Ice Cap Zone/Launch Base Zone Studiopolis Zone Red Mountain Metal Harbor/Pyramid Cave Grand Metropolis/ Egg Fleet Radical Train Dragon Road Aquarium Park Sky Road Tropical Coast (act 3 to be more specific) Mystic Jungle Chaos Island

[@silveramyknux241]

Characters for the new levels but backwards because why not. Cyber Station: Trip Chaos Island: Team Diamond Cutters (Tangle, Whisper, and Lanolin) since IDW is canon and Frontiers was written by an Archie member. Like how the trio were made by Archie members. IDW also takes place between Forces and Frontiers anyways. Luminous Forest: Gadget/Custom Hero Mirage Saloon: Mighty Nightmare Zone: Nights & Emerl Sweet Canyon: Yacker Dragon Road: Professor Pickle Dusty Dessert/Aquatic Base: Princess Elise Egg Fleet/Hang Castle: Omega Metal Harbor: Marine the Racoon Twinkle Park: Big Ice Cap: Ray Mystic Cave/Wing Fortress: Just a Ricky. That’s it, not like actually saying a character who evolved from a Ricky. And became a major character in Satam and Archie. Nope, notta. In all seriousness, the best I can think of is Honey the Cat. Scrap Brain: Flicky (Specifically the one from the game Flicky. Flicky could even have the baby chicks with him)

[@GamingintheAM0801]

The DS Generations included a level from Sonic Rush as well (Water Palace). What would be your choice for another level from Rush? Also, CD needs a stage too, if you ask me.

[@ordinary_deepfake]

Sonic 3d blast level, sonic figters level, caotix level, game gear level, that weird level with mario, sonic alphabet game and finally can you feel the sunshine

[@BreetonBoi]

Honestly Sonic Generations with a DLC plan like Final Horizons is the way to go imo

[@MrGameplay2498]

My picks for levels (no rules from the video here and no post-generations levels here either) Sonic 1: Starlight Zone Sonic CD: Tidal Tempest Sonic 2: Hill Top Sonic 3: Ice Cap Sonic Adventure: Emerald Coast Sonic Adventure 2: Crazy Gadget Sonic Heroes: Grand Metropolis Sonic 06: Dusty Desert Sonic Unleashed: Dragon Road Sonic Colors: Tropical Resort These are my personal picks

[@thetruej7872]

I'm late but here's my list of stages I would want: Emerald Hill (S2) Collision Chaos (CD) Angel Island (3&K) Twinkle Park (SA1) Metal Harbor (SA2) Frog Forest/Lost Jungle (Heroes) White Acropolis (06) Windmill Isle (Unleashed) Asteroid Coaster (Colors) Desert Ruins (LW) Sunset Heights/Ghost Town (Forces) Eternal Highway (Frontiers)

[@hardboiledegg4193]

I think since the original generations uses classic sonic and modern sonic which used boost gameplay since that was the current and new era at the time. I think it should be fitting if generations 2 have adventure sonic and open zone era sonic since that’s the new and current era.

[@SuperBeastlyMario]

Labyrinth would have been perfect for Sonic 1. It's the only zone nearly as iconic as Green Hill, and could be totally reimagined similar to Sonic Movie 2. It'd be a hell of an opening act to run on the water and plunge into the temple. Hill Top would then be cool for Sonic 2 since it's a more familiar territory, grassy greens, but in the sky. Fan games have made such cool Hill Top's even Speed Simulator took inspiration from them. Ya gotta think how this would progress if you were starting from Sonic 1 really. Scrap Brain and Mystic Cave are just bad choices for opening acts.

[@TehJellyLord]

I think we need to wait for at least the 50th anniversary before we get a Sonic Generations 2 lol. Then we could have stages from the games that released in the 30 years after the first Generations. I say 30 instead of 20 because the 10+ years after Generations were filled with mostly nostalgia rehashes lol. EDIT: I’d also not qualify Mystic Cave as a spooky level, so my personal choices for Sonic 2 and Heroes would be Mystic Cave and Hang Castle. Would be hilarious if they chose Mystic Cave and Mystic Mansion tho lol Also, with how Shadow Generations is handling some of its stages (the Space Colony Ark stage including a Radical Highway segment midway through) I think for Frontiers representation, it would be so cool if it was just called “The Starfall Islands” and it was one long stage where you visit each of the islands by jumping through various Cyberspace portals. Something like that would be awesome.

[@silveramyknux241]

8:44 Actually, while it would be cool to have a Nights level, it doesn’t reflect Lost World for me since it’s based on another game. Personally, I would choose the sweets variant of Desert Ruins. And replace Sweet Canyon with Asteroid Coster. Either that, or we’ll have a level theme that the game shares with one other level. Which if that, I would choose the rail grinding levels surrounded by water and Eggman stuff. But changed up a bit to be more of a traditional level. I actually like that more. As while it is a Water level, rail level, and Eggman level. It’s mix of them along with other stage elements unique to Lost World can make it stand out. But, I do know how much Sonic loves to reference Nights. So your pick does work like that. Maybe if we just make a lot of the level design stuff from Lost World while also having some nice Nights elements could make it a decent compromise.

[@seldaceren8882]

Video idea: Sonic Mania 2 wishlist

[@ezbeezee815]

What would you chose for shadow 05, secret rings, and black night

[@zachpro5475]

I hope sega adds level in sxsg from games that came out after gens or were not included like mainia or triple trouble

[@silveramyknux241]

10:47 My other pick would be Null Space. That would be cool to see fully realized. And it’s created by the Phantom Ruby. A major element of the game’s story.

[@silveramyknux241]

9:42 I’d probably just add Studiopolis anyways since I think the level deserves it. At least have it be a DLC level.

[@chaoticmeep]

Are you going to make a video for bosses and rival

[@williewillikers9631]

I want to see some storybook games representation lol

[@JP-hk6xw]

Going through the game from newest to oldest levels would be fun so these are my picks: 1. Bridge island 2. Kronos island 3. Sunset Heights 4. Mirage Saloon 5. Frozen Factory 6. Starlight Carnival 7. Savannah Citadel 8. Radical Train 8. Mystic Mansion 9. Sky Rail 10. Twinkle Park 11. Lava Reef (ik mania used it) 12. Tidal Tempest 13. Hill Top 14. Scrap Brain + weird white act 3 Labyrinth zone

[@DAVID-ANDERSON]

I'm surprised Sonic Generations + Shadow didn't include the levels from the 3DS version

[@thedredayshow9246]

New Classic levels Studiopolis Collision Chaos Golden Capitol Death Egg (S&K3) Spring Stadium Boss: Black Dragon from Superstars New Green eyes levels (Thank you, SomeCallMeJohnny) Red Mountain Egg Fleet Casino Paradise Bingo Highway Green Forest Boss: Egg Albatros New Modern levels Radical Train Park Avenue Astroid Coaster Skyscraper scamper Merge Cyberspace 1-2 with 2-2 Boss: Infinite

[@SheltonMantonOfficial]

i just want a good flying battery man.

[@RezeedTheDataspirit]

Here's a better question. As an excuse of pulling from the entire franchise, what would you want as Sonic Generations DLC?

[@magolor-3100]

If we chose one for dream team, i think the dlc sweet dreams zone would be the best one to bring back

[@dellosayshello5405]

My suggestion would be nice to see them adapt levels and bosses from the 3ds version but having the same quality as the console/pc version And ice mountain and railway canon

[@requiem6465]

You could do a sequel choosing rival fights and boss fights as well

[@eduardoaguero1220]

I think you should have added a CD level, my pick based on your list I think might have to be collision chaos, it's not too similar to other casino type levels, and it's where we first met Amy, a major Sonic character

[@ricmagus]

if for whatever reason sega do that, idc what zones from 16 bit games they choose for SG2, but i hope they include a bunch of 8 bit games zones. sonic 1 can be let out of it, but take one or 2 zones from sonic 2 (master system/game gear) same thing with sonic chaos (mecha green hill is a good choice). i don't have any "nostalgic" feelings about triple trouble, but i like to see one or two levels from that game too. now you can throw a 3d blast (mega drive/saturn) level here, and one of sonic r levels (yeah, i know XD. but is a interest concept. but just dont go the obvious way to put "super sonic racing" like sega like to do whatever they put any sonic r related stuff). and, of course, you can put one or two sonic CD levels. oh, and like some people said, if all i said is too much for a single game, sega need to make the game with future dlcs in mind. that's what i think

[@PercyPanleo]

Haven't watched the video past the first 30 seconds yet, gonna give my list first Palmtree Panic (CD) Sunset Park (Triple Trouble) Diamond Dust (3D Blast) Hot Crater (Advance 2) Altitude Limit (Rush) Sky Road (Lost World) Studiopolis (Mania) Mystic Jungle (Forces) Lagoon City (Superstars) Didn't include Frontiers due to it not having any completely original cyberspace stages (all have reused themes and most have reused layouts)

[@faresfares-ultra]

If you're gonna add levels you should also add few rivals and bosses and my pick from the new levels are: The deadly six The boiled heavy Infinite Any giant boss from frontier they all badass I didnt play super star so maybe fang

[@toumabyakuya]

What about the portable console games? The Advance trilogy and Rush duology are memorable so they should be represented as well.

[@Gamingninja-zo7jq]

If I had to pick zones to be in Sonic generations 2 I'd pick starlight zone hilltop zone hydrocity collision chaos those would be the class zones I would pick

[@philosopher51]

I would simply choose stages from all the Games that just came on one console out. Like the Rival Titles on PSP, the Rush Titles from the DS, the Fairy Tail Games on Wii (7 Rings & Black Knight) etc.

[@octofig286]

the next question is what about the bosses/ rivals

[@kirotalksyt]

Yeah new rivals and boss fights would be interesting! I think Generations 1 did a really good job with their choices for those, so I really wonder what they’d do for a Generations 2.

[@goldenarcher7428]

Only problem i have with this list is mirage saloon instead of press garden. I agree with you that the whole bar thing is a neat and unique esthetic but i just think press garden has a lot more to offer as a stage

[@just-dashin]

DANG

[@MadWinter889]

Obviously it will have Green Hill, Chemical plant and Sky Sanctuary.

[@AldaC.A.T.]

I know dusty desert is a bit mid but I would replace mirage saloon with press garden

[@tracyndiyob162]

i'd love a proper generations 2 that sonic 1-starlight zone could work as cities aren't as overused as green hill zone though scrap brain zone could be interesting even if chemical plant takes notes from it sonic 2-mystic cave zone or oil ocean/death egg sonic3-ice cap,angel island or launch base and just use the original music sonic cd which got skipped for no reason-collision chaos,quartz quadrant or wacky workbench mixing their futures. sonic adventure sa2-metal harbor would be my pick as it/green forest are the best sonic stages sonic heroes-egg fleet as it's the best airship level(wing fortress is too short/mostly bad difficulty spike) as it's an adventure game 06-dusty desert unleashed-windmill isle,adabat,holoska or mazuri sonic colors-it handles the amusement park theme the best would choose sweet mountain/starlight carnival/asteroid coaster sonic lost world-would just have it be a runthrough the lost hex fighting the deadly 6 as mini-bosses to a new area. sonic mania-press garden(most unique level) or studiopolis as they're the best new levels. forces-aqua road though tbh would just have infinite as a boss to represent it and use the way better advance games memorable levels as rush got a level. sonic frontiers-tour through the islands sonic superstars-cyberstation with nights helping you considering she got a robot design.

[@I.Am.Terrible.At.Usernames]

I thunk you could have got away with Marbel zone, it's basically nothing like Crisis City🤣

[@sonicrespinned]

Do a part 2 but for the bosses for example in the modern era for a rival battle instead of silver the hedgehog we could get blaze the cat.
