[@Cheesemonk3h]

theres a lot of good levels in the game its just overall not a very well polished experience and there are a lot of levels in the campaign that are straight up bad, especially the mech levels. if sonic adventure 2 was just the running and emerald hunting segments and without the confusing anime storyline it would probably be considered a modern classic, but it's a janky and confusing experience with a lot of strange features you arent really sure why they're there - it's a title the dreamcast deserved, not the title it needed

[@mooganify]

Well yeah but despite many saying they love it/best 3D Sonic, there’s a lot of bad things in the game that people never mention. As in, a third of the game being complete crap.

[@LeightonCorcoran]

This level is how all 3D sonic levels should be. It is the perfect blend of speed, platforming and exploration. This level literally feels like a 2D sonic level in 3D. Many people fail to understand that the classic 2D Sonic games weren't linear. They were pretty open as far as 2D platform games were concerned. This is why 3D Sonic games have failed to live up to the classic 2D games (for the most part) in my opinion. If all 3D Sonic levels were designed like this one (and also lasted a good four to five minutes instead of two if you're lucky lol) then modern 3D Sonic games wouldn't face such negativity. This is why 3D Sonic games haven't been able to surpass the classic 2D games (as far as a lot of people are concerned) and why many people who grew up playing classic 2D Sonic have always felt that something was missing/wasn't quite right in the 3D games. It's not because Sonic doesn't work in 3D (that's a lame excuse), it's because Sonic Team haven't figured out how to make Sonic work in three dimensions. They actually manage to make it work in this level (the only level in SA2 that they got right imo) and it's amazing! There are so many options as far as routes through this level are concerned and that's why I love it. You're not forced to take the same route each time you play through this level. Sonic can absolutely work in 3D and can be just as amazing as the classic 2D titles were, it's just that Sonic Team focus too much on speed instead of trying to combine speed with platforming and exploration like this level does so beautifully. Sonic was never a linear experience that focused on blitzing through levels as fast as humanly possible in the Mega Drive/Genesis games. That is a common misconception held by people who either haven't played those games or just played the first level/s growing up and don't remember that much from the experience. If Sonic Team created levels like this that lasted a good five minutes to play through I imagine no one would be complaining about modern Sonic games. Edit: Thanks for all the likes everyone. Good to know most people agree with me and understand what I'm saying, unlike a select few morons with the IQ of a postage stamp who have replied to this comment years after I posted it, thinking that I have nothing better to do with my time than to argue with intellectually vapid strangers online over my opinions on a particular video game. Seriously, get laid.

"Sonic was never a linear experience that focused on blitzing through levels as fast as humanly possible in the Mega Drive/Genesis games. That is a common misconception held by people who either haven't played those games or just played the first level/s growing up and don't remember that much from the experience." Not saying that the Classic Sonic games are linear, but do you have any proof of this? Did Yuji Naka or Naoto Ohshima said they had this intention in level design when they were making the games?

[@LeightonCorcoran]

I own the classic 2D Sonic games that I mention and one can simply look up the maps for those zones online and see how intricate and maze-like they often were. Whether this was an intentional design choice or one that simply evolved organically during the development process I obviously can't say, but when you compare the zones from those 2D games to the stages in the 3D games, it's obvious that the 2D games had more platforming and exploration in mind as opposed to just speed. I love going fast as Sonic, but Sonic is a platformer first and foremost and when the games focus too much on speed and neglect platforming and exploration (not open world obviously, this level has enough exploration) then something is lost along the way.

[@Orange_Swirl]

Ah, you see, that's my issue. Although I for one love the exploration in the classic Sonic games, we don't know if a combination of speed, platforming, and exploration was ever intended for these games. What we *do* know, however, is that they were in these games, intentionally or not.

[@LeightonCorcoran]

Whether it was intentional or not it's the way those games turned out and I love them for it. I just think if the 3D games had the same kind of level design (just like Final Rush for example) they would be better for it. It's just my opinion. People can agree or disagree with me but I think this is the difference between the 2D Sonic games and the 3D Sonic games that a lot of people overlook.

[@Orange_Swirl]

+Leighton Corcoran In my eyes, I believe I should love a game based on the goal it was trying to accomplish, not what it is. Of course, if a game has no goal I'm just going to judge it on how well-put together it is.

I never could beat this stage when this game came out when I was a wee lad of 11 years old. Keep in mind, this was before KZbin, so I had NO idea about the final story after you complete both the Hero, and Dark storylines. I think I finally found out about it in 2012 when I looked this game up on KZbin to just take a stroll down memory lane, and boy was I in shock that I had left so much of this game unfinished. I was PS3 gamer in those days, and luckily the game had been ported to that console, so I downloaded it, and 11 years after the game's initial release finally settled that bit of unfinished business.

[@mcmistle9892]

I know a lot of people like Mortar Canyon in Forces for being so open and stuff, but I gotta be honest. This level makes Mortar Canyon look like a tutorial stage.

[@Densester]

It is, Mortar Canyon is overrated. It ain't "really" open in the sense that you won't even think about the paths, it's open in the sense that you can airboost and there's alot of options. It ain't really open at all, it's more complex than anything. Now, the most comparable stage to Final Rush is Null Space, now that is actually pretty open and requires some creativity in how you can speedrun it.

The difference is in SA2 you actually had to balance your self on the rails and press a separate button to gain speed. Its automated in Sonic Forces. Null Space is still an awesome level though.

[@cobaltmage3609]

TepigPlays 52 both stages that really love rail grinding

[@LAZY-RUBY]

The rails in Forces are automated, and take up at least 3/4th's the stage. In that game, Sonic is always set on a linear path with maybe a diversion or two, where as SA2, Sonic has complete freedom of movement, and in Final Rush, there a few paths that don't go forward.

[@electrosphere5581]

At least the alternative paths here are actually meaningful and rewarding,unlike Forces's Nullspace.

[@Jackmaster03]

I am so impressed to even be seeing the ending of this level! I just can't get the speed dash on the rails to actually work consistently without making me fall off the platforms!

[@CaptainOfTheLeviathan]

Man, all of Sonic's levels were straight fire 🔥

[@tyronesaddleback3890]

Great run! But on certain rails you don't need to balance yourself. Like the rail at 0:26, 0:40, 1:54, 2:19, 2:39, 2:54. and also at 1:00 just hold B Button, or X Button, (depending on the system you play SA2 on) and your top speed lets you fly over that gap WITHOUT falling (high speed grinding is needed though). AND at 1:12 Jump dash on those rails and hold the jump button NEAR the top for top jump height AND to avoid those time consuming springs. but, you knew that already, didn't you?
