SRB2 OST - Egg Rock Zone 1

Our heroes have reached Eggman's base of operations, but it's not over yet. They must navigate through lasers, badniks, and even outer space itself before they can confront the evil doctor. Watch out -- gravity on the Egg Rock has a mind of its own...

[@tempest6027]

I dont understand why people keep saying the old one is better, this is an absolute jam Also technically this level is called Robotnik Rock and i think that's funny

[@arceus1463]

The two are quite different, so it's really up to one's preference. Personally I like the original better, it's overall feels more fitting and the guitar solo is just orgasm to my ears. It's what kept me motivated to complete the level. The new one just sounds like a generic sonic track that doesn't really stand out to me. I'm going to have to place a wad just to bring the original two Egg Rock tracks cause the new ones is kind of disappointing. The other zones have good music overhauls but the new Egg Rock track really isn't for me.

[@psyxypher3881]

To me, the last one just screamed "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG". This one does as well, but not nearly as good, and not as well for the meat grinder orbital deathtrap that is Egg Rock Zone.

[@InferNOrrr]

@Sour Cool The old soundtrack matched the level, though.

[@chaos_blue1089]

How's nobody pointing at the section that could make this song top the old one? 1:00 to 1:35 is just too good.

That solo is a solid contender for most baller piece of the entire soundtrack

[@serenityskyeVT]

[@federicoislab]

I'd like to disagree. I prefer 0:40 - 0:55

I love this but man do I already miss the original guitar melody. It was etched into my brain from replaying the 2.1 level over and over again

[@MarkusVeller]

Man, yeah! I love the new soundtrack but I miss the guitar in these new ERZ tracks

[@retroboy-fh1ji]

The difference is in act 3 because they moved from egg rock zone act 3 to black core in 2 separate parts: 1st the metal sonic race and 2nd the battle on the ring. So, the level isn't too difficult.

[@onerb_junkyard]

Hello! If you found this on the comments, here is a tip for Record Attack on Egg Rock (both acts): Use Metal Sonic. Seriously.

[@joshlabahnneves7635]

He’s just too good for zones like these, huh? x3

[@federicoislab]

How about I say no and instead use him to beat himself And then use Fang to cheese literally every boss in the game

[@UltrawaveProductions]

I took a listen to both this one and the old version. First off, this is actually a slight remix of the old one, perhaps more of a reimagining. That bass carried over, specifically. Act 2 directly references the old one too so it's not completely forgotten aside from the bass. Second, the old songs were too short. The guitar's pretty good but when the song loops after the end of it, it gets repetitive, fast. The old Act 1 also had its guitar delayed by a touch from the rest of the song which made it sound really weird to me. I haven't grown up playing SRB2; it was just something I knew existed and saw a few videos for in the past, so I don't get any nostalgia from it. Personally I think the new Egg Rock theme sounds amazing and fitting for a final level. Can someone please upload 15-30 minute extensions, if not STJr first? ^_^ Keep up the good work.

[@kbmodo]

That scratchy guitar at 0:24 is my everything

[@Iloveyoulikekanyeloveskanye89]

They did include it, it's at 3:20 and onwards, but slowed down compared to the original.

It has such as 90's feel to it. I like it a lot.

The good old times

[@hydrochloric007]

@MustardStache Egg Rock zone wasn't even a thing in until at LEAST 2003. Trust me, saying this game was developed in the 90s is more of a fun fact then something that influenced this game a lot. SRB2 only really started to look like how it is today in 2000

[@zekeram129]

At last. The Egg Rock. With seven emeralds in hand, the trio speeds into the battlestation, ready to conquer anything Eggman throws at them. Meanwhile... Fang has snuck on to the Egg Rock by means undisclosed as of v2.2.0. Oohhh, he's gonna get those goodie two-shoeses back. But not before he gives Eggman a piece of his mind. Not when this darned station blew up his stash he hid back on Greenflower Mountain.

As epic as the original track was, this is MUCH better to listen to in a level that I'm going to be stuck in for half an hour because of how difficult it is. XD

[@smtmonke]

Ah nonsense, Act 1 and Act 2 are pretty easy once you learn the layout. The stages are honestly tailored to be ran pretty easily with Sonic, and Act 1 only takes 4 minutes while Act 2 takes 8 minutes for me. That being said, the new stages are definitely hard af, to the point where gaming over became a serious problem by Egg Rock Zone. It wouldnt surprise me if Egg Rock Zone got its own make over and ended up getting seriously difficult.

[@AegixDrakan]

@@smtmonke Really? Egg Rock devoured almost all my lives as Knuckles. XD The only level I've really had trouble with before Egg Rock is Arid Canyon because of that one REALLY long sequence of rope thingies near the end. If you're not someone with a mobility skill, you're in for a real bad time.

Oh god the blue platforms. So I did a Sonic playthrough and took that path. I got to the blue platforms... Yeah that section sucks. You have to wait... Patiently... For the blue platforms to make their way while focusing on staying on them. Then you have the moving platforms. Jumping over the obstacles is easy enough, but sliding under them... At the time I didn't know I could jump out of a spindash, and since it's easy to go into a spindash.... Well, it obly takes a couple words to describe it. (Ahem...) *TH' SUCK.* And then you have a shiny emblem in the next section that I obviously must is has. Is shiny! What can I is says??

I'm not sure if I'm banging my head to the good music... Or following the lasers.

[@theleafeon8020]

Now that I think if it the earlier versions everyone else misses sounds like it belongs in a Adventure game while this sounds like it can be in a classic game (melody wise). Either way I absolutely love both

[@hydrochloric007]

@The Leafeon Despite being a diehard adventure fan (especially for It's music) I've always liked the 2.2 tracks better.

@The Leafeon Actually going back to it, it doesn't really sound like Adventure. Even the "style" of guitar riffs aren't the same.

Ngl I think the game could fit into the sonic timeline with Modern sonic teaching classic the homing attack but classic can't use it correctly just like this sonic. So if you really want to you could say that this game happens after the end of Generations

[@bigrockerending7711]

Man, I remember hearing people say how Egg Rock Zone was very hard. Personally, I don't feel that way, though maybe the argument for that could be that it's much easier when you know the design. Really wonder how this level will be changed in the future. I did hear that there's still plans to overhaul it, but currently it's just like how it was in 2.1 (aside from the addition of an Amy path). Oh right, the music. To be honest, I have a very like-dislike relationship with this music. On one hand I think it sounds cool, but on the other hand I really miss the 2.1 version of the song. It leaves me indecisive on what I prefer. And apparently I'm not the only one.

[@hydrochloric007]

Mobius is a term only really used by the comics, the games usually use Earth, or just call it "The Planet". Also, I've always thought them being able to breath in space was a case of gameplay-story segregation or something. Like I know it's kind of a joke among Sonic fans, but seriously, if Sonic can't breath underwater (which means he does require respiration like any other lifeform) then why is he able to breath in space? Plus, the two times we DO get to see him in space are by technologically advanced space stations, so you can presume that they have some advanced technology that allows oxygen to go outside the station and into the surrounding space. But that's just a theory A GAME THEORY, thanks for watching!
