Sonic Advance - Egg Rocket Zone

Stage 6: Egg Rocket Zone
It's time to infiltrate Eggmans base. And what's up with all those spikes? Sheeshhhhhh...

[@violetthebat8810]

This moment shows how Awesome the Advance series is. Watching Sonic race against time into space on a crumbling rocket to stop a mad scientist from conquering fills me with so much pride to be a Sonic fan and brings a tear of admiration to my eye. I salute you,Sonic Advance!!😎💜💜💜💜💜

[@483Dialga]

i just played this level today and wow, you're comment really made it seem really awesome. I'm going to go play it again

[@derpboyzero7669]

5:31 Okay that was kinda hilarious. Especially the pause in the air before the last bounce.

[@violetthebat8810]

lol.😄

[@jekafe]

The music of this level makes me wanna cry 😢 it’s a beautiful.... wow

[@Iloveyou-dz7mq]

It feels so awesome when you're playing this game as a kid.

[@MitchTH]

The atmosphere in this stage is just too perfect, especially when you get to look outside... *sigh* nostalgia...

[@GigaMan91]

8:26 This part was so impossible for me. I just could not grasp how to get up to the platforms as Sonic and Amy because the field of view is so small, and you have to time your jump just right, and I always ran out of time. I freaking hated this long gauntlet of a stage.

[@stilscarlott]

The music is beautiful It really does give that evening vibe Matching with the environment

[@KashRulez214]

This should have been the real Sonic 4.

[@AMTK90200]

If you look up anxiety in the dictionary, you’ll se a picture of this zone

[@bigjuicyjenkins2862]

This level took me FOREVER but I finally beat it with 2 rings left and 1 life left

[@snes90]

With all of those spikes, it looks like Dr. Robotnik took level design lessons from Dr. Wily... Lots of good memories here. :D

[@dalaxdercrisper957]

The only stage in Advance series has a time limit, so you pretty set your running skill quickly to goal as possible

[@SeanWallaWalla]

You might hate me for this, but this was my favorite level in this game

[@Miggy]

Nah, I don't hate you. This level has it's fun moments.

[@KashRulez214]

For the music?

[@joeyjoseph8837]

He may not hate you but I sure do, This level was a nightmare.

[@wozthescott2804]

I hate you

[@gr3yhem]

Woz The Scott I hate you too!

[@LeafRazorStorm]

I thought this was cliche..... then the clock started counting DOWN.

[@null1023]

I love this level. Other than Angel Island, this is the best Sonic Advance level. However, my biggest issue in Sonic Advance is that the insta-shield, well... doesn't really work. It expands Sonic's attack radius, yes, but it does not provide the split-second of invincibility it did in Sonic 3 [saved my life loads of times, passing right through bullets there, surviving spikes until it disappeared [which was pretty much just for show, because when it ran out, I still died/lost rings], etc].

[@greenlightring1737]

I like how you have Tails with you. Reminds me of Sonic Advance 3

[@melon_powa]

5:53 I just gotta point out how the idle animation adds to the situation, like sonic looks out the window and sighs in relief "Phew! Barely made it!"

[@cubeyspeedster4981]

It's kinda like wing fortress!

[@oniibakachan3541]

at 5:02 that always happened to me everytime i play on this level

[@d4sher3693]

I got confused when trying to beat this level.

[@myredpip]

ah the tails cheat love it

[@silverfeathermw3628]

In all the time I've played this game, I had no idea you could have tails follow you.

[@NokusChannel]

LOL Tails at the end

[@SwerveStarEx]

I love this stage so much. That moment at 5:02 and the following at 5:09 tho... Was that because the player held back in the other direction or did it just happen? That is some questionable game design.

[@Miggy]

That segment right there that you mentioned is one of the worst part of this stage. The fact that spikes don't appear and disappear means you need to time your landing very specific, other wise you die.

[@HeatBoi]

I always hated this zone just because the spikes and the time limit.

[@conorburke1999]

You can turn it off

[@xamp_exclammark]

Some of the springs dont seem to work with tails for some reason

[@ugurhaskoy1039]

8:30 have a really stupid jump mechanic,

[@lxldubkx149]

The ost is so good

[@Miggy]

It's amazing

[@samanthaanderson4112]

Ugh, now I remember why I hated this zone and always skipped to act 2. That spike trap was a dirty trick along with those cheap enemy placements and that countdown instead of counting up. I never really knew what was at the end of this first act because of all I raged at this place with what I mentioned. Is this a ROM, because I don't recall Tails being an AI player 2?

[@Miggy]

If you entered a button combination in the character selection screen. You can get Tails as an AI.

[@KesorodaBlk]

I really hate the Part in Segment 2 @5:00. The trick is to **NOT** hold the D-pad when you touch the spring.

[@mrao3124]

Such retro feel.....

[@Miggy]

Yep!

[@LinktoSonic]

The music in this stage is good! I always hated how it restarted after the 1up jingle

[@adamgz12]

Time is reversed now THIS IS SUPER MARIO NOW XD (I’m joking I love this fact xd)

[@TheDominator25]

Ahh the memories

[@DarthSanguine]

how the hell are you supposed to do 5:14? I hit the spikes every time!

[@the_pinkie_pie]

Darth Sanguine get speed

[@sadsupermarket765]

This part is unfair,you can’t predict the spikes

[@KesorodaBlk]

I commented on how to get past this part. It is not random.

[@jamaldavis831]

So many spikes. This tormented me as a child

[@RangeTE17]

the only minor thing i didn't like about advance was that the acceleration is slow, but advanced 2 fixed that

[@TheMauricewright1]

and Flying Battery

[@julienking8075]

this sound sounds furmilier

[@KashRulez214]

what happens when the timer runs out in this zone? i want to see what it looks like.

[@Miggy]

I believe you'll have to start all over again.

[@Psychogen100500]

Music is awesome

[@Sparkette]

The end of this act reminds me of how Scrap Brain Act 3 ends.

[@TelaniGrey]

where the hell did you get Tails in here too?

[@soulterrainyt3249]

Da tails cheat

[@TheMauricewright1]

Looks like Launch Base

[@tdguy1532]

Launch base and wing fortress in one level

[@pkthefirst1524]

What you playing this on?

[@Miggy]

Emulator

[@PokemonKid100]

Looks more like a Kirby game to me. :P

[@BenjerminGaye]

4:55 bad game design.

[@HighPricedManiac]

Since when was tails with you for sonic advance?

[@Miggy]

You need to apply a cheat code in the character select menu in order for Tails to follow you.

[@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000]

@@Miggy there's a cheat code!? I never knew that as a kid!😧

[@Miggy]

@@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000 most people that played this didn’t either, so don’t feel bad lol

[@Determan10]

you could just download a ROM

[@cyberpowerable]

i love you man

[@caelunconley2413]

Also, the name of act 1 is done by Egg Rocket Zone, but in act 2, it says Cosmic Angel Zone. Is it Egg Rocket, or Cosmic Angel, game!?. Make up your mind!.

[@BlueFalconPunch07]

This level made me rage hard, especially with Amy but music slaps.

[@creppycrashspace3384]

Sin duda juegas bien ese acto Que segun es uno de los mas dificiles del sonic advance 1 aparte tiene uno de los mejores soundtracks de todo el juego ☺☺😄

[@tdguy1532]

Yo me lo pasé a la primera, parece qie mi experiencia jugando Megaman fue útil XD

[@DumbStuffDoer]

I dropped the game before I could finish it only because of this zone. It has many parts that straight up frustrated me and I game overed many times. And it's not my skill issue, I just simply once got sent by a spring into spikes I couldn't see or a speed pad got me into a bottomless pit or a spring did. This level is just beyond FRUSTRATING. And to add more problems, it was also confusing. I had no idea where to and only some small arrows got me through part of act 2, I died to some random enemy after loosing all rings on spikes that I couldn't see and spanwed at the start of act 1 part 2. Then I dropped the game. This level is a joke.

[@Bradman175]

So this is what sonic 4 was based off.

[@RandomInnVGMs]

I absolutely hate this zone with a passion. I ragequit this game every month in this level.

[@Miggy]

lmao, it's not that bad.

[@nicolasz9410]

5:32

[@Leedleleedle101]

how did you get sonic and tails

[@wozthescott2804]

Fuck this level. Music is great tho

[@Miggy]

Music is great indeed

[@d4sher3693]

Flying battery part 2

[@petertraggorth4755]

Sonic going to space wow 😀

[@the_pinkie_pie]

This level is just too long

[@ZoeGames618]

I play on tablet and How Did u do sonic and tails tell me

[@pyraswolf4263]

how do you have tails

[@Miggy]

You need to put a certain combination during character select.

[@griffwilson5932]

5:02 oof. 😬

[@Leedleleedle101]

at least he got a 1up first

[@lorenagarcia7182]

yup

[@aidantox]

These games need a wide screen remaster

[@aidantox]

Crazy how this vid was uploaded 11 years ago and the uploader still hearted my comment

[@AguFungus]

@Racercowboy Or the first Sonic game. ;)

[@cyberpowerable]

is that a psp

[@charizardthelizard8236]

Don’t know why people think this level is good. Half of the times when I die I’m sure it’s not even my fault it’s just this horrible level design.

[@cyberpowerable]

it dosent work man i tried it on a psp

[@iverson64_]

You can play this on the PSP via emulation. This game also got ported to the N-Gage and was renamed to "Sonic N". No need to get triggered.

[@wilbourke4188]

This level is too bullshit for me.
