I'm amused by the idea of Robotnik sitting around, checking his watch, wondering what's taking Sonic so long to meet him in the boss area, when over the horizon he just sees a golden light rushing towards him at mach speeds

I'm almost 40 years old and I never knew this was possible! I could never get all of these as kid to begin with, let alone knowing it can all be done within the first stage. That's so cool! Thanks for the video! I'm going back through the Sonic titles again as it's been years now. And now I get to experience something for the first time ever.. I got the game with the Genesis when it came out in 92 and LOVED this game so much, so this is special! Thanks!

[@hungrygoriya]

It's never too late to try something new... do you think you'll go for it? I hope you enjoy rediscovering those games again. I pretty much lived and breathed Sonic 2 growing up and didn't have a lot of other games to play, so this stuff became second nature. I come back to it often!

My father, who was a teacher, had a student told told him about all the Sonic 2 secrets debug mode and wrote cheat codes for this, and a few other games all down so he could give it to me. I'll never forget the joy I felt the day my father brought the notes home and I eventually unlocked Super Sonic. To this day I'm not sure how this student figured out all these different codes. Maybe they were in magazines, or they were on the early internet ~'95, but whoever they were thank you! Thank you for this video and this trip down memory lane!

Wow it's been 1 year since I haven't come to this channel. I am playing Sonic Origins. The bonus levels in Sonic 2 are remade really well. You actually see the screen move at a slower pace. Also when you get an emerald you still have the coins when you play with either Sonic or Tails. These bonus stages are really hard though. I have to retry them several times.

[@hungrygoriya]

Woohoo! I need to try Sonic Origins one of these days and see what the special stages are like for Sonic 2! I hope you're enjoying the challenge!

[@tonyp9313]

@@hungrygoriya They fixed everything in the game. There's different music in whatever Sonic games had Michael Jackson doing the music. That's different. They fixed all the issues though with Sonic 1-2. In Sonic 1 you can spin dash & when you are invincible with 0 rings because you go hit to lose them you don't die right away on the spikes you can stand on them for a few seconds now while he's invincible for a bit. Also I think for Sonic 2 when you fight the last boss sometimes you would go through him & die when you hit him. That's been fixed. Also that level where you pull down vines if you go jump in the pit they added the level that they took out originally. These games without saving are terrible. Sonic 1-2 that didn't have a save file were hard games to beat because of that. These aren't even hard games. It me months or even years to master these games & beat them when I was a kid. I also wasn't beating these getting every chaos emerald either because it was too hard to do or I lacked the knowledge of what they did.

[@hungrygoriya]

@@tonyp9313 Those changes all sound like good ones to me. And Sonic 2 was really hard for me as a kid as well. I can't tell you how many times I got to the metal Sonic and got a game over there. I'm glad they've made it a little more accessible for new and old fans alike!

[@tonyp9313]

@@hungrygoriya Yeah I was also dying at Metal Sonic a lot & other bosses when I was a kid getting game overs. As a kid when I played this game & other video games. It used to take me months on end to master. Even then I would not beat these games all the time. It was only when I became an adult or later on I find these games easy that I can beat them in 1 sitting within 1 hour or whatever the length of these other games are.

[@djgamble07]

Top notch video... well explained, modest about your (awesome) awesome skills and now we can all be winners too. I probably won't ever get the 7 in the first 2 levels, but this allows me to get more practice in and break the back of the task early on in the game (rather than desperately trying to hold onto 50 rings later on in the game).

[@hungrygoriya]

The sooner the better for sure! I hear ya about the later levels ring collecting problems. Getting 50 for this video to show Super Sonic at each of the bosses was actually really, really tough, especially for Oil Ocean and Metropolis Zone.

[@documentmedic9385]

Interestingly enough, I seem to remember that, on the Genesis, there was a way to unlock Supersonic in the Emerald Hill Zone while playing as Sonic with Tails. My brother and sister showed it to me once. In the Emerald Hill Zone, after collecting 50 rings, they went to the first star post and completed the bonus level. Then they pressed the reset button on the Genesis after they were sent back to the Emerald Hill Zone. After they repeated this 7 times, they played the level through, and when Sonic got 50 rings and jumped, Supersonic appeared. The trick was not to go to any additional star posts after the first until all emeralds were collected.

[@hungrygoriya]

Ah yes, the good old reset trick! That's right, you can do it that way as well!

[@GenesisGameGenie]

Nicely done! The soonest I've ever been able to get all 7 is the very end of Chemical Plant. Also, great tip mentioning to play as sonic alone. Tails makes the special stages kind of annoying. Especially if he jumps ahead of you.

[@hungrygoriya]

Maybe you'll be able to get them all in Emerald Hill Zone now. Give it a whirl! And yes, Tails is a menace!

But then, I dared myself to get that star post, the one you got at 10:43 I managed to do it... ONCE, and it was using the super-speed sneakers, a little to the right, and going back. You did manage to grab the emerald without powerups. You are AWESOME, man!

[@MrInitialMan]

The one starpost that you cannot get to is a bit tricky, I'll admit. You have to take the top path. After a pretty long horizontal spiral up there, there is a loop with a little rise leading up to it, and a spring at the top right corner of the loop. Jump when you're on the little rise to get on top of the loop. The spring takes you to a platform with a LOT of rings, four monkeys, and a free life. That platform has a drop to another platform with the star post.

What an amazing display of skill and memory! 👏 Watching this in 2024 after playing the Sonic 2 remake on Sonic Origins Plus, then playing the original Mega Drive/Genesis Sonic 2 on Nintendo Switch Online for a more authentic experience, complete with the original choppy frame rate in the Special Stages! As others have already said in the comments, you breezed through the Special Stages, while I needed to use save states to have multiple attempts at each stage from the second one onwards. I'm always in awe of how 1990s Sonic players were able to learn the layouts of the Special Stages while jumping in and out of them while playing the actual main game, and without any modern assists like rewind! Brilliant to watch. Gonna check out the video in your pinned comment next.

[@Ayeyoyuri]

Fun fact: you can actually get all 7 emeralds in the first zone without using cheats. Will work on the original Sega Genesis cartridge, to do it. Go to options select Sonic only as the playable character since going with Tails in special stages is a curse. Whenever you collect as much emeralds reset the game, (RESET) do not turn it off. Go back to options and continue playing as Sonic you'll be back at Emerald Hill but you'll carry the amount of emeralds you've collected. This was my go to method to unlock Super Sonic as a kid since I didn't know the level select code.

I was so happy and started playing them right away. Unfortunately my phone crashed because of the much games i downloaded. I waited, and waited, till i got my tablet. I did forgot some of the games. And i became a fan of luigi. But then when i saw the games i realised how much fun they were and how fun it was playing them again. I downloaded both of the games and started playing them. Its been a year right now. When i saw this video i thought *maybe i should try it*. And now, look at me, with a super sonic killin those eggmans. I had to like watch the special stage tutorial from you 3 times so i could understand the stage good. Thank you for that. Without your help, i would not have known how much fun the game actually is then just killin enemies and eggman. The game has a story, a purpose. You can easily chease it.

One last thing: I would also wait until the last starpost in the Wing Fortress zone to get the final emerald, simply so that it would be easier to control Sonic, and so it would be easier to collect 100 or 200 rings. Precision with Saiyan Sonic was a pain in the neck!

Emerald hill home of all 7 emeralds, also home of getting super sonic when you start the game just by getting 50 rings

[@jujuondatshhhhh]

Boy, a year changes me real bad

[@ChrisSportsfan]

This is even easier as knuckles since he doesn’t lose his rings after the special stage. Also good for doing sonic alone since having tails increases the ring count for the special stages.

[@hungrygoriya]

I really don't enjoy the final boss fight in this game with Knuckles. He can't jump nearly as high and I can't beat the boss the way I want to. It takes forever! It's definitely harder as Sonic and Tails! I have another video with no voiceover showing that run and it was extremely tough.

Thank you very much for the tips and advice. Believe me before I've watched your video about how to become Super Sonic, I was really struggling to get all chaos emeralds glowing in the check points. I would go through the check points and they would glow stars but for some other check points it doesn't. But now i've figured out, step by step guide on how to obtain all 7 chaos emeralds in one stage level.

Learned my lesson never have tails tag along ..right when I had required rings at the last sec tails dropped some coins!!! Thrn ended up short!

[@hungrygoriya]

Tails is a real nuisance! I'm not sure if you know or not, but bringing him along also increases the number of rings you need to collect too... he makes it harder to win in more than one way.

I just picked up Sonic Origins Plus for our Series X this morning. It has been quite a long time since I sat down and played a 16-bit Sonic. It has been at least 20 years since I have played the very first game but I started there this morning in the Adventure Mode (you play them all back-to-back). I am very happy to say that I just beat the first game and got every Chaos Emerald. I still got it! At any rate, I am about to start Sonic 2 (skipping Sonic CD because I really dislike it) and this is the one area I have always had issues with. I have done it before but that was with controller throwing and cursing...just unpleasant. So I figure I would watch you and it should help prepare me for what's to come. Addendum- You my friend should really pick up Sonic Origins Plus. The game is out for every console for 40 bucks. It includes Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic CD, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic and Knuckles, and all 12 Sonic Game Gear titles. It features mirror mode, animated cut scenes that connect the Genesis games. Everything is redone in HD...it is a Sonic extravaganza you should not miss.

[@taiIsthefox]

28:02 I love how before the cutscene starts its super sonic and when the cutscene is going on its just yellow sonic

[@hungrygoriya]

I never noticed that until someone on a stream pointed it out to me. Now it's all I can focus on in that cutscene, haha

[@hungrygoriya]

Good luck! It's not too bad with a bit of practice, especially if you can find a lot of the secret 1ups!

[@ManuFortis]

That last checkpoint you couldn't figure out how to get to. You have to use the red spring before the final twisted path. Don't hold your d-pad. Just drop onto it, and then use the following yellow spring to get to the landing point. You'll see a 1-up, and then can drop down to the checkpoint below to the right a bit.

[@hungrygoriya]

Thank you! I always forget how to get there.

[@hermit4706]

Games used to be so cryptic. How the hell could you have possibly known this back in the day!

@@hungrygoriya I recall jumping in the check point thing to do the bonus level bit don't think I ever realised you had to have 50 rings and as a kid I just thought the emeralds where a nothing reward.
