Sonic Mania - Chrome Gadget - Walkthrough

Re-imagining of one of the 2P stages from Sonic the Hedgehog3. Chrome Gadget is a industrial-themed Zone from Sonic 3 that takes place in an energy power plant during the night. While the sky is dark and cloudy, the moon can be seen in the background and brightens up the metal valley. This replaces TMZ and features layouts from the other 4 competition Zones from Sonic 3! Look out for them! Part of the Sonic Reminiscence Project. Made by Jalex777.

0:02 Chrome Gadget (of course) 0:40 Azure Lake 1:14 Balloon Park (watch the floor JUST after the loop carefully!) 2:07 Desert Palace 3:30 Endless Mine (edit: Confirmed by mod maker)

[@jalex777]

Endless Mine was 3:30- 3:36. Please pin this cuz you're correct mostly!!

[@iampinball3669]

That's so clever!

[@DASH596]

That's so fucking cool!

[@DJNeoncat]

Damn! Who'd knew?

[@setsers1]

SMaster777 WHAT

[@XBusterZero]

I've always dreamed of seeing a sonic 3 hack that turns all 2P zones into full blown stages. This will do :)

[@PhilipTF2]

I had the same dream :')

[@teriosstresttres1764]

We are 3

[@callumsparrow4379]

Jay Bleu Christian Whitehead was actually planning to do just that in the hypothetical IOS Remake of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but sadly the project was never approved by SEGA, most likely due to the copyright issues with Michael Jackson’s original contributions with the original game.

[@shytoad3195]

Jay Bleu I'll eventually make a sonic 3 and Knuckles Rom hack containing 2p stages as full zones just for you!

[@leandrojose3887]

@@PhilipTF2 Me too!

[@thekingslayer1831]

Holy shit, the remix is just... powerful.

[@BushyRoyal]

The kick and the snare really take it to another level

[@NMarkk]

A Sonic 3 multiplayer got the spotlight huh? We need Endless Mine now!

[@MegaSombra]

You mean the music used in the title screen? Because i still cant believe that everyone keeps comparing Endless Mine and City Escape and absolutely no one mentions how the main theme in Sonic Mania is pretty much the same

[@NMarkk]

I actually didn't talked about the Music xD,But yeah,thats right.

[@sassymetalsonic5870]

@@MegaSombra He didn't even mention the music; were you high when writing this comment?

[@DarknessTheHedgefox]

Seeing this in action only makes me wish even more that Chrome Gadget was an actual stage, I love it both musically and visually along with Endless Mine and Azure Plains.

[@RazorZenon]

+Light Sonitzekioro It was Azure Lake :D

[@TheGael95]

Chrome Gadget would have been a much better final stage than Launch Base ngl

[@spadez8618]

God yes. So good to see I'm not the only person who thinks this

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

@@TheGael95 Launch Base is awesome. I love Chrome Gadget, but it doesn’t give off a final battle vibe.

[@fnsonicrick]

I believe they chose carnival nights over Chrome gadget as the night level for sonic 3 but chromed gadget would have been cool and the music's way better than the shitty prototype music for carnival night zone

[@KazeSenshi2929]

1:44 wow I didn't know that you could do that with the lighting shield

[@slappymouse]

Kaze_Senshi wow... thanks for tagging that timestamp... I woulda missed it...

[@slappymouse]

I'm going to try that in titanic tower zone...

[@furryawsom]

Wait holy fuck

That's literally the point of those electric coils

I had always wanted to see the zone explored

*Hears first 30 seconds of the remix* It sounds great and all, but where are the other instrum... *Hears the rest of the track and starts to tear up*

[@blurrzapper7777]

If you noticed from Titanic Monarch, it uses some of Chrome Gadget's assets and sprites. So like what if Titanic Monarch is built off Chrome Gadget?

[@xopowoHiro]

Titanic Monarch = Scrap Brain + Cyber/Genocide City + Chrome Gadget

[@jalex777]

TMZ was based off of CGZ

[@DASH596]

Even the background is kinda Chrome Gadget like

[@liayn8184]

I know this is late, but what if titanic monarch was just chrome gadget in the future?

[@mushroo2453]

Plus Titanic Monarch was built in little planet maybe but then chrome gadget isn't actually in little planet..

[@MiniBlackWaltz]

The level design falls off later on, but overall this is a pretty neat hack Well done to the guy who made it

[@jalex777]

Vivi 恥ずかしがりや自信がなくなった Ortinier thanks a bunch

[@chillway5776]

Actually, the level design itself is built around Titanic Monarch Act1, you can even notice similar level design in some especific parts. The level design isn't really bad, but most of the time trying to figure out what is background, what's solid and what isn't is hard due to everything looks similar.

[@NeoNoteDev]

And now, just imagine, what if multiplayer zones from s3&k were in Sonic Mania.

[@Raspse7en]

If you think about it, Titanic Monarch was a perfect template for Chrome Gadget. I always wanted to see Chrome Gadget as a full stage. This is pretty impressive so far.

[@MotobugGaming]

I love how they kept the claustrophobic feel to the zone without it being too unexplorable. Also I never realized how similar titanic monarch is to chrome gadget. Wow the tile set looks similar, especially the floor

[@jalex777]

yep!

[@SophiaXiaoyuAralaCran]

What was cut out of Sonic 3's full stages and dropped to just one of its competition mode stages now makes a full appearance... I like! :)

[@goldinho]

The music is amazing!! When I was a kid I always thought this music belonged in Gunstar Heroes.

[@silentopinion]

There were zones in 1p that were basically equivalent to the 2p in sonic 3. Azure lake= Marble garden, Ballon park= Carnival night, Desert palace= Sandopolis, Endless mine= Lava reef (without lava). But Titanic Monarch was made with Chrome gadget in mind.

[@braven_iss]

Best Sonic Mania mod out there. This is hands down the best Classic Sonic level I've played besides SSZ Act 2. Good job, Jalex! And R&Z did a great run of the level too. =^-^=

[@jalex777]

thanks a bunch! appreciate it

[@leezy3465]

My goodness, its like chrome gadget was the father of titanic monarch

[@xopowoHiro]

blu Scout Mom : Cyber City

[@mushroo2453]

With good level design instead that stupid moving platform spikes on it will kill you instantly.

[@milka_butterfly]

I never thought someone would make these levels in Mania, i am glad they did. I fucking love the music of these stages.

[@RobBonavoglia]

I looove that someone made these full stages.

[@OctoGirlthystX57]

Chrome Gadget gave me a lot of chills the music is sooo damn good

[@leont6813]

Ahhhh the music is so perfect and nostalgic I want to cry!

[@Ishmon16]

I was grooving to the music

[@TheSonicbandicootX]

Better level design than the original Titanic Monarch.

[@jalex777]

TheSonicbandicootX thank you!

[@samuelhutchinson552]

This just made me love chrome gadget even more than I already did previously😍😍

[@jalex777]

Samuel Hutchinson thanks a bunch

[@Brainulator9]

Had they not wanted another unique zone plus a big metallic structure to run around with, I imagine Chrome Gadget could have worked.

[@MoonlightStrider]

I love how in this level you slowly make your way up to the top to the point you see that moonlit sky.

[@memebait]

Wow really good level design on chrome gadget

[@Ospyro3em]

When that music kicks in at 0:30 👌

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

This is just incredible! The remix is so faithful and fits Mania perfectly! I would love to see this in a sequel to Sonic Mania alongside Azure Lake and Endless Mine!

[@EmmanuelEXEf06]

Awesome :)) Wonderful music too (chrome gadget theme)

[@jalex777]

Thanks for playing my mod! ~~even tho I asked to link the video instead but whatever~~

I changed the link in the description. Thanks for the good mod!

Awesome remix!

[@waltercomunello121]

I can see a lot of Titanic Monarch here. Music is lovely though.

[@thisistodd190]

this is amazing man. like for real. id play the shit outta this

[@mintyaquagreen1675]

Either Heavy Brawler or Heavy Medic would work in this zone.

[@joeritchie7286]

I love the 80s pop styling in the music

[@MyStolenAimbot]

Cool as hell, I always thought this map was too nice to only be a split screen map

[@7atkno]

0:45 until 1:35, it synced so well with the song. (except for the 1up jingle)

[@sourwaii8692]

nicely done

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

That base drop from chrome gadget is just as hard as tee lopes flying battery. As in, SUPERCHARGED

3:09 Even tough fan guy couldn’t hold super sonic

[@datbo7974]

This is awesome because people are giving sonic 3 the love too

[@AS_PERM_159]

You know, and the competitive level of chrome gadget would be more suitable instead of titanic monarch, but looking at the background of the monarch you might think that this is a chrome gadget, only called differently.

[@mateogonzalovannella4502]

Industrial and Urban level themed zone!!!

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

(weeps on the floor to how amazing this game is)

[@rypr8828]

wish this is what monarch actually looked like. 10/10.

[@seanrenzi7243]

More like sonic 4 that we never got

[@annsky1896]

/starts to whistle the level soundtrack/ Oh, memories... This is a theme of our childhood.

[@minecraftmonologue3433]

Chrome Gadget Zone - "A friendly Competition"

[@RisbaYTB]

i love it

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

This Chrome Gadget should happen after the Death Egg zone act 2 . The level starts by Robotnik in his Eggmobile being chased by Sonic and Tails then Robotnik uses a teleporter which is then destroyed by some Badniks to stop Sonic and Tails from reaching their master , Sonic and Tails destroy the badniks and the animals are saved then you can control the characters .

[@MFdoom1985]

Damn, that fuckin chrome gadget remix tho..... fuckin amazing

[@taxiiswith2is]

Chrome gadget would fit perfectly as a tmz prototype

[@Steelcityreece]

I need this whole music this my work out music here lol

[@Shippingsucks]

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a sonic fangame that focuses on the sonic 3 racing zone’s.

[@AdarisTempest]

So, I know what they were going for insofar as the sheer difficulty/complexity of Titantic Monarch...but as this level demonstrates, the Titanic Monarch tileset positively comes ALIVE if you speed up the pace a little bit and make the level a little smoother and faster.

[@KbluebrryRoblox]

*Chrome Gadget* Titanic Moranch [Past] Chrome Gadget [Present]

[@mushroo2453]

Aw man i wish if there was zone 2.

[@beauwalker9820]

Not a bad fan stage, but I kinda wish the bsckground layers you could see the iconic night moon with clouds around it better, or made it larger.

[@spaghettisine6099]

good idea

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

Hey , I saw this before , it's a Classic !

[@Gamerbropart2]

This nostalgia for me

[@megathepunnymenace]

You know... on closer inspection, Chrome Gadget and Titanic Monarch do look really similar.

[@beberregames7927]

my favorite zone :')

[@FelipeDermann]

I always wanted to see the 2P levels (especially chrome gadget) reimagined on a Mania level of quality because I honestly loved and still love these zones, they all have a unique feel and the music is very iconic of them. This mod is good but it's still too much like Titanic Monarch....

[@cutman3931]

So that's where Titanic Monarch got inspiration from, I guess...

[@Vebills]

yep, it is.

[@bogart6648]

this and hydrocity are the best!

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

SONIC MANIA ROCKS SO MUCH !!!

[@sonic15561]

Me: Can we get Chrome Gadget Mom: No, we have Chrome Gadget at home Chrome Gadget at home: Crazy Gadget

[@peteynutt4104]

This music kicks so much ass it got RedHotSonic to shut up on his own video, just to listen to it.

[@crystalbgm7772]

Someone should do a Azure Lake Mod or Endless Mine Mod.

[@growlie2676]

I always wanted this to be a full level. Kinda wish they kept the original music from Sonic 3 though.

[@legendarygamer2.016]

Love the remix

[@Newhouse56]

this has potential

[@haleyluong89]

Nice

[@unknown_guy5366]

Plot twist: the stage between star light and scrap brain.

[@Teebs1996]

Is the music available seperately? It's amazing

[@nehemiahsparks7275]

That music tho

[@radicallaruby]

More like Incomplete Gadget. Not sure what happened to the level design after the halfway point. Hope it's still being worked on, looks and sounds great otherwise.

[@Magoflipante85]

I know this is going to sound a bit too rude, but the creator of this mod isn't well known for his level design skills. If you look at his other works you'll get why

[@jalex777]

Lmao I never said it was beta

[@jalex777]

How is it incomplete anyways

[@nekometalsonic8383]

Jalex777 Are you the creator of this mod?

[@ChrisCrossCrunch]

Its a mixture of all of the multiplayer Sonic 3 stages

[@Steelcityreece]

I need this sound track

[@cheekibreeki4037]

You should try to use replace Metallic madness data with this level instead of Titanic Monarch, to make it like a Titanic Monarch act 0 or something

[@elliswoodall407]

COOL

[@PTSDSquirrel]

I NEED this music.

[@jackskillen1701]

Nice remix this best sonic song ever 😍🎮🎮👍😊

[@Chaosfoxx]

did anyone played the In the groove step chart of Chrome Gadget theme song?

[@Bazelgeuse]

Wish the final zone was this instead of titanic monarch. Looks better, better music, everything better.

[@ShadowPriestBear]

Chrome Gadget 💙

[@sekorhex2533]

I don't understand why Sega never will bring a Sonic Level Maker a like Super Mario Maker? That would be so nice!

[@SmashBroX]

Isn’t Chrome Gadget just Titanic Monarch act 1 re-skinned and the music is different?

[@hydr0generati0n]

The nostalgia of me winning all day from my sister in these levels Or when humanity lives up to its purest form

[@PharoahsKingdom]

Just need Sandopolis and we're set.

[@piku5637]

The mod needs to be updated for Mania Plus :3
