Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Chemical Plant Zone

Okay, I got the two-parter out of the way so now let's go blast
processing as I speed my way through the entire game. Let's go to
Chemical Plant Zone.

Hours of my childhood in a 5 min KZbin video 😂

[@ninjamonkey508]

man, this level was like death to me when I was a kid

[@dynamicdave2647]

Not that hard. Labyrinth zone in first sonic a lot harder

[@dhavi1625]

Ikr. remembering always drowning

[@sandrayalonso]

Like scrap Brian act 3 i died whit that level

[@jett2451]

ninjamonkey508 never beat act 2 🤦‍♂️😂

[@danilojelovacsrb-rstv3376]

@@jett2451 i dunno never beated casino night act 2

[@arthurpprado]

still can't believe i was so afraid of this level when i was a kid

[@flormoreno4478]

I love this level, but was so easy dead becasude The pink water (sorry bad english)

[@ironhide_editzCr7prime]

Ok

[@ooboomooretiredchannel435]

The zones so easy

[@OfficialPoisonBoi56]

I was never able to pass this level, but now, I'm able to pass it like it's nothing

[@OofmanLeon76]

FRRRRRRRR

[@user-qm7bp4ul5t]

the intros to scenes were a work of art

[@notawesomebread]

2:00 I just love it when the sound effects overtake the music, and you get to hear notes from the song that are otherwise blend in. It's almost like little remixes happening here and there

[@TrevinoZen14]

I never noticed that. You're so right.

[@IslemTav]

My absolute favorite part!! Love that sound remixing. I picked that up as a kid. Usually when there are sound effects in the game play already taking high pitch sounds so you only hear the bass part of the music. So well done in this game! Some Nintendo games do it too. Very noticeable on Super Mario Bros. 2 and Mario Kart 64. But the sound tracks aren’t nearly as cool as this one.

[@mahamedxD]

I notice that a lot and only mobile version doesn’t do it

[@jaysonstyles2808]

Even 30-odd years on, the speed of this game is unbelievable.

[@slr-d]

and *barely* a dip in frame rate. these games are simply masterpieces

[@UltimateShadow10]

I 100% agree, this was the very first video game that I ever played as a child. I grew up a Sonic fan in the '90s and I will die one. I was born December 5th 1990.

[@TheGreatFryMaster]

5:17 IT WAS THAT EASY!?!?

[@cs512tr]

yep def was

[@priyachand5956]

I beat the boss like 18 times

[@ssspooderman7458]

i cant believe it only took 4 seconds 😓

[@gc3k]

That's pretty much how you take out every boss in the game

[@hamq9716]

the smug dancer shut the fuck up

[@frotttiopm8668]

Christmas 1992....I was so addicted to this game. Because of that, the sound effects, graphics and especially the music give me such a special feeling from that time. I cant describe it...amazing how the past is connected to such things

[@mecha2001]

I appreciate the fact you existed on the planet when this game was new. for the rest of you, Chemical Plant Zone is not hard.

[@slr-d]

@frotttip thats EXACTLY how I feel about GTA3. I always say that alllllllllll the nuances and bells and dings of that game was getting burned in my head and I had no clue

[@khirianwingfield9461]

Even the part where you go underwater in the tunnel at 2:00 gives me anxiety lol

[@mayconmazzei524]

affraid to die haha me too

[@DeltaSpaceDweeb]

How the hell did the mobian government approve of a chemical plant with a layout designed only for anthromorphic animals that run at sonic speeds?

[@Densester]

Sanic HogeHeg those are all pipes, and its made by good ol' eggman

[@PhilMante]

I love how this game in it's early stages makes you careless and rewards you for it with visual stimulation, but punishes you for it later on.

[@okamijubei]

Because Robotnik is the sole government of that part of the world.

[@Mia-dt3gl]

Sonic 2 originally had a time travel plot (with present-day Zones having a past and a future equivalent Zone) and Chemical Plant Zone existed in a Bad Future. Allegedly it was supposed to be a Bad Future Emerald Hill Zone, but I can’t confirm this.

[@jacobanthony9412]

Sanic Hogeheg i’m more worried about the chemicals that are flooding the plant

[@chrisz71]

Dammit I could never beat this level. I beat Eggman and then the floor collapsed on me.

[@the_competent_gamer9454]

I always drowned 😂

[@rapttortom4826]

Hahaha me too

[@TurquoiseStar17]

4:27 - This part right here is what ended my childhood runs so many times.

[@jerelminter]

You're supposed to jump over it to the other side every time it does that and then jump on Eggman at least 8 times until he explodes.

[@txshiroo._]

Just stay in the middle

[@blaq7427]

Best level with best music

[@joer736]

Yea, this, and Mystic cave.

[@stefanpunkt9402]

yes! best sonic theme ever

[@truthlight2816]

I've been trying to find exact theme for about 6 months.

[@floridian4072]

Right!!!!!!

[@Megatron2980]

Yep and metropolis zone is right behind it

[@gatheringwolves8267]

God damn we had it sooo good in the 90s and 2000s, games were so amazing, the whole sonic ip was so original too, love this game

[@MegamanNG]

I agree

[@ralami6183]

Seriously!

[@dzdogg]

The Radest Sonic soundtrack ever that really represents Sonic's edge, attitude and character.

[@danthemanwiththegarbagecan]

i keep drowning

[@NathanWoyessa]

*ben

[@axile9897]

Wow this was so hard at the time when i was 7.. That water kept drowning me like i was shit.. well i was bad but still :v

[@nursejade1414]

Today I finally beat that stage on my sister phone I cried

[@MegamanNG]

Be proud mate. :)

[@CaptainCoolzCT-]

Richard Jackson 😄👍

[@jett2451]

It’s been 8 years and I still haven’t 😓😭

[@sonicfuture632]

That zone is sooooooo hard my opinion

[@danilojelovacsrb-rstv3376]

@@jett2451 i got to Hill Top Zone

[@thecarlosdiazfilmcompany901]

The only thing Sonic Movie 2 was missing was having chemical plant zone, would’ve been perfect

[@officialyungtwizted3858]

I literally took my time on this level just to listen to this beat. This is the hardest game beat in history. Period.

[@KatMat777]

Agreed

[@signature_forger]

I’ve Always Had A Passion For This Level. For Some Reason I’ve Always Enjoyed How Complicated It Is!

[@frankkkbard0n315]

Its amazing. the design is very complex, with many different paths intersecting, tubes, loops...I made a video exploring and explaining all paths in the act 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJvap4OEd6hjrMk

[@tecrubio]

Too much nostalgia from my childhood Is hard to know that the people that played it in that age are now 30 y/o people

[@gabrielr.johnsoniii2067]

Beating this stage was such a relief. Sonic was such a challenging game. It took hours and hours of training to beat this whole game. I remember renting the game every friday night at blockbuster. Drinking Mountain Dew and eating Twizzliers and Butterfinger BBs.

[@devinbrines]

Video games used to be so hard

[@ashura9699]

dark souls isn't hard, neither is this. i mastered the pink water at the age of six

[@thebrainnameditself9530]

I wouldn't really say this game is hard. Just challenging. It can be fun too.

[@YepItsCliffHanger]

Probably our young brains being confused

[@TevinGMedia]

am I the only one who always hated this FUCKING LEVEL..

[@demetriuskafkoulas5005]

This is actually my favorite level of the game...

[@waki8893]

This is my favorite sonic zone ever Come at me

[@truthlight2816]

I literally listen to a list of songs to find this.

[@demetriuskafkoulas5005]

This zone rocks. The only difficult part is the vertical shaft with the purple water

[@glasshalffullofwhatever3106]

Love the frenetic pacing of this music,

[@axile9897]

Every time on those platforms i died in the water because my timibng sucked, and everytime i was in he water on those 4 block things i was always crushed

[@jigsaw2982]

4:31 Pain in the apple.

[@teyjanetroman85]

My childhood, I loved this level.

[@jesse5011]

20 years later still can't get past this shit. Putting it up for another 20 years

[@darkraid4238]

My favorite level

[@s.renanfaria]

Best level and soundtrack

[@lancebaylis3169]

These are the levels are peak Sonic The Hedgehog. I don't think any others come close to showcasing why this game (and this character) is so cool.

[@taylorlopardo8048]

The music when you collect rings is so fun lol

[@robdavis8556]

Why am I watching this? The cello lady made me 😂

[@user-neptune84]

I couldn't beat act 2 when I was 10yo 1994 but my sister did she was 9 good old days

[@adamandfriends8415]

This stage is added to Sonic Mania so awesome! Yahoo!

[@hectorthecartoonandvideoga9328]

But it sucks in my opinion that it’s stage 2

[@hectorthecartoonandvideoga9328]

Only a little

[@hectorthecartoonandvideoga9328]

Remember how chemical plant was hard

[@phillipbrown9228]

There's something addictive about Sonic gameplay, and I'm pretty sure it's how much rollercoaster there is in each level (and also going so fast that all you hear is the ring sound effect over and over again).

[@billjohn3911]

This game rocks

[@Persona1996]

The music of this stage was always great but the stage itself was hard

[@matthewricketts5330]

My favourite zone I remember this from my childhood

[@ab8jeh]

Amazing that my brain can still remember the level layout from 30 years ago. We are strange creatures.

[@danieldevito6380]

I swear, this song used to have me BLASTING through this level!

[@BrightPlayz]

When I was little I was stuck on this level act 2

[@H3n7yx76]

Nice! This brings me back!

[@jurassicfan7775]

My Favorite Level Of Sonic

[@NathanWoyessa]

but why

[@nexo768]

4:30 that gave me ptsd flashbacks from my childhood 😬

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Fab music

[@OverladenearthTV]

The nostalgia. I forgot they had that minigame.

[@NekoMoN1337]

Thank u for this video.

[@siyahseeker]

0:15 Little did that Dash Panel know it would be overused in Sonic 4 and Sonic Forces.

[@siyahseeker]

No. Not Mania. Since Mania hss a recreation of this level in it, I give it a pass, and it uses it right.

[@IDK_Kat]

0:30 when classic sonic is faster than modern sonic

[@ishlindsey1268]

This is my most favorite level of all time.

[@mets23q]

Best soundtrack on this game

[@nexo768]

The music 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CouragSomeone]

that boss was an epic fail XD

[@sjnm4944]

I used to love this level, especially Act 1.

[@princepiscez6041]

hell yea and the music.

[@mrsantana9094]

I remember playing this when I was younger and there was a cute girl at the time at my sister's birthday party and I would open the door and turn up the volume when I got to Chemical Plant so everyone would come in and watch me play and I would feel all cool LMAOO!!! aw mann those were the days.

[@likledesi]

Omgosh, one of the levels I hated as a child but so much memories

[@dartmada9733]

Oh this takes me back

[@julioaramayo1304]

When this came out the hottest shit was when he turned into the ball and charge up and just jet off

just love

[@Criz45]

I was determined as a kid to beat this level and I did. Didn’t know what I was suppose to do just get to the end.

[@xanderlee4733]

My childhood!

[@staronec2929]

I got shortness of breathe with Sonic under water as a kid but when I did a "GOGA" I was safe ahahhahahaahhaha

[@theultimateshadowgunmercen751]

Imagine getting so stuck for 14 years that you have to watch someone else do it for all of those years

[@whodissis1]

I feel beyond retarded rewatching how that boss fight was done with ease 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 35 and STILL ain’t beat it!!! 😭 😭

[@scientist_einstien02dotmdl69]

i always hated when i got squished by those stupid blocks and i even got a game over from it.

[@happylands8712]

I really like this zone and the music but not that part where you have to swim to the top with square in the way I freaking hate that part

[@kingraygonthechamp]

This level is an old arch nemesis of mine. I've despise this level with every fiber of my being. It all started 27 years ago & is still going. I would never get past act 2 that is until I discovered a cheat code for debug mode & I would use debug mode to pass the water part

[@superstar64]

Imagine dying on the water section.

[@catherinepownell9305]

Oh this takes me back .lm feeling anxious just watching it The music was great but started to really annoy me cause I was desperate to get past this level it was so hard.

[@callumbrowns]

90's xx

[@FreyrtheFryer]

Watching this with my 3 years old brother.. I think this is the only way I can connect with him

[@slr-d]

after playing sonic Frontiers, this finally looks slow to me lol. Frontiers did a GREAT job at capturing speed. it's very fun to play.

[@justine4791]

the music gives me PTSD flashbacks

Yeah, Post Dramatic Sonic Disorder XD

Props to turbo boost at the end for speed gain.

[@shihoblade]

Man Im having all kinds of bad flashbacks.

[@varshakaul9587]

that ring game at the end was the best part. I think Its in multi player.. player I dont remember. I played the genius when i was like 6/7or soemthing . but i have memories of the gamecube since 2005 or so lol

[@billjohn3911]

Did you know it's available on iPad and IPod? It's still fun.

[@AriesSpirit25]

Grape kool-aid zone a living nightmare

[@slendersera]

Can't believe I forgot playing this. I guess it's because that pink water gave me ptsd. That precise platforming was just beyond my capability as a kid.
