Sonic Labyrinth (Game Gear) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@GardevoirBoy]

It must have been very hard for others to get the best ending of this game, and you did it! I'd always knew you were the person to avenge our childhood of games we couldn't beat. Congratulations!

[@NintendoComplete]

Sonic Labyrinth is a pretty neat take on Snake Rattle 'n' Roll's style of gameplay, and it looks really nice for a Game Gear game. Definitely worth a look for fans of the blue hedgehog!

[@ExtremeWreck]

NintendoComplete I don't think so in my opinion. I bet even die-hard Sonic fans will hate this.

[@NintendoComplete]

Extremewrecker2000 The willer. Fair enough. I liked it well enough, but I'm sure not everyone would. It's very different from the usual Sonic games.

[@ExtremeWreck]

NintendoComplete I know it tries to be different, but most people will hate it due to awkward controls, & such. At least it ain't as bad as any game in the Bubsy franchise.

[@noahstewart5054]

NintendoComplete When did that came out?

[@MVC2fan1]

1995

[@klunsgod]

I think this was in the manual, but the reason why Sonic runs slow is because Dr. Robotnik broke into his house while Sonic was sleeping and replaced his running shoes with “slow shoes”.

[@DarkChaosElfilis45]

Or in other words, Dr. Robotnik replaced Sonic's sneakers with a pair of Robotnik sneakers that resemble Sonic's.

Great representation of the Game Gear and original screen with its vertical scanlines!! Haven't played this but here to get a feel for it before I buy.

I remember Labyrinth mainly from a little unlockable demo of its final boss in Sonic Gems Collection. Not a bad game, but, well... *Sonic 3D Blast* this is NOT! I guess it's a fun little handheld alternative.

[@fahriakalin5936]

whoa, I owned a game gear as a kid and I've never seen or heard of this before now

[@lonelyfoxzakalf93]

what if there was a Sonic game where Eggman does the Opposite of Labyrinth and makes sonic Can’t stop running and he increases speed every zone which increases the difficulty. He runs at a sorta fixed path. He can choose which branch to pick that leads to different routes. A good Reference would be. “Hey I’m running too fast, huh? Words I never expected to say. At least it’s the opposite of eggmans Other past plans.”

[@NintendoComplete]

LonelyFoxz Aka OverTime That sounds almost kinda like SegaSonic, the old arcade game with the trackball. It's stupid fast feeling when you play it

[@lonelyfoxzakalf93]

NintendoComplete yeah Good Point. Then again the main aim was chaos. So yeah.

[@ExtremeWreck]

Eventually Arena: Maze of Death would be released on the same handheld. It was said to have looked & sounded better, but didn't play as well as it looked. From what footage there is of it, it's not amazing, but it's... tolerable, if very boring.

[@MrCaerbannog]

If Sonic’s normal walking speed hadn’t been so ridiculously slow, this game might have been decent enough.

[@LPetal86]

The sprite of Sonic lying on the cloud there on the menu screen looks an awful lot like when he's waiting to move and lays down in Sonic Spinball!

[@MVC2fan1]

In this game, Sonic lost his speed & unable to jump thanks to the slo-mo boots that Dr. Robotnik invented which was powered by the chaos emeralds.

[@betagamer8398]

This game runs so slow the only way to get around is to spin dash but you bounce all over the place. So either you're going to fast or to slow

[@NintendoComplete]

Yeah. It was a cool idea, but the execution isn't really up to 90s Sonic standards

[@cheddarbob8930]

This would be ok if it was on Sega Genesis. Even though this game is awful, it shows the early days of what 3d graphics were like. 3D blast is better. But that still is terrible.

[@BOLSUS]

Wow sonic is really fast 😒

[@christophersmith2068]

Not a good Sonic game. Ask WatchMojo.
