I think the best part of this mod was actually the treasure hunting and mech shooting stages. There are some really really difficult obstacles. Security Hall was really clever as well. Eternal Engine took me 1 hour and 50 minutes to get the run I did.
Here's the timestamps
City Escape - 0:00
Radical Highway - 3:30
Aquatic Mine - 7:16
Security Hall - 10:08
Eternal Engine - 12:46
Lost Colony - 17:55
Interesting.
So was the challenge legendary?
@@VongolaXZax It was a good time, some really cool seeing some of these mechanics being used to their limits. Like the air section in Eternal Engine.
Yeah tell me about it, I only got A ranks on the first try, on 3 of Eggmans levels in the original game, this would take me longer.
B-but every Sonic fan on the internet says that the Speed Stages are the only good part of the game!
Were Arin Hanson, someone who yelled about how good Sonic games don't exist in a live show and quit his LP before Final Rush, ProJared, who told everyone who likes this game they're all blinded by nostalgia and LIED about there being no warning of the Dynamite in Eternal Engine, and PeanutButterGamer, who needed to look up a guide to find the Light Shoes in Metal Harbor and rage-quit at Death Chamber, all wrong? I don't believe it!
@@sonicovertime I 100% agree where can i thank the creator who made this
This makes it seem like GUN was really trying to capture sonic
Yeah.
Yeah
@@peacefulskies9320 sorry
@@D00DM00D sorry
@@VerendumGames sorry what
i like how the harder enemies force sonic to use his whole moveset making the gameplay more stylish. would like to see more of this.
The vanilla game does that too, and there's places Magic Hands could've been used.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 I haven't played the game in a couple years but from what I remember most harder enemies towards the end of the game could still be easily run around or 'waited on' to attack then you do specific attack to destroy them. The merciless rate of fire + increased amount w/ strategic Vs cheap placement from them in this mod makes Sonic have to keep moving full speed in restricted space/dodge with Bounce Bracelet often to not lose rings(points) for starters and then plan fast which openings to take considering other enemies around are opening fire.. in the vanilla Game, as you say, you CAN use Magic Hands/Bounce etc but the game rarely encouraged you to use them outside of when it was designed to force you to - it was simply a 'now you have to use this ability you forgot about to proceed' instead of being incentivized to consider them- over standard jumping to dodge/wait to bait enemy openings. Idk, this mod's obstacles just seems much more strategic and maximizes reactionary but intelligent offense to maintain speed and points.
@@aljarv4795 The beetle with the electric shield at the ascending staircase is a good spot to use it since you can immediately start moving again afterwards.
But no, the bullet hell spammed enemies and gates in your way that you either need to jump over or restart the level are cheap. In Eternal Engine the only place that got rid of all the doors that suck you out into space was on the path to the lost Chao, and was considered a trap.
Sonic frontiers
so thats what its like if the military was competent in the sonic universe. Send out everyone and everything
LOL
Would it?
Just like in the Shadow The Hedgehog game
@Jim Kelly *Would it?*
Nah, I guess it would.
SA2: Competent Military edition
SA2: Colorblind and Cataract-Inhibited Vision Military Edition
The way the Hunters all lined up in front of the goal ring in City Escape reminds me of the 06 tech demo, before Sonic goes Super. Brutal.
I feel like there is something ironic in the name "Sonic 06 tech demo"
Ancient light powerup might have been useful for once there.
@@roberteischen4170 Except they have shields and you have to stand still to power it up
3:12 Ouch... Losing 250 rings just at the end hurts a lot
Yep
Try 400
He still got an a lol
that's what makes the game too hard and not worth 100% for me
at least the score counts per ring already collected rather than rings on hand at goal
I was expecting to see something ridiculously over the top, but this is actually quite realistic for a good player
Imagine how great sonic could be if we expanded on the adventure formula, this looks sssooooooo fun.
I'm sitting here wondering why this game hasn't been surpassed for 19 years. I was 6 playing this and it's still the best now
Sadly they probably won’t because 06 was tried expand on the Adventure Formula but it scared sega into abandoning it
The first level served to make the music even more appropriate. "Danger is lurking around every turn." Yeah, no kidding.
Oh dude I love this game. I forgot about the loud ass fighter jets.
Gotta love the physics in this game best out all adventure type games
I feel like Knuckles had the smoothest music in this game.
Fr, aquatic mine is fucking fire 🔥
I liked how each Knuckles song told a story revolving around each level. Aquatic Mine in particular briefly mentions how Knux would like to take it easy, but his duty to guard the Emerald is too important to neglect.
Jazz-based Hip Hop. Sonic had rock ballads- Tails' were heavier and featured industrial elements. Eggman had industrial with that Mega Drive sound to it- they all had their own genre monikers.
He did
@halofly3 I talk a lot with the artist of the knuckles stages in sonic adventure 2. You should send him a message on instagram. He's a chill dude!
Super Hard Security Hall? *flees in terror*
👌🤣
Strange way to spell Mad Space/Final Chase.
GUN's been cracking down hard ever since the incident with the ARK. They don't want to make the same mistake again.
When you got hit at the end of City Escape I felt that.
Fun Fact: Did You Know Sonic Adventure 2 Has A 2 In It.
wew
Wow epic 👏
WHOA!! REALLY!?
That is a Z, not a 2.
Dang, i thought it was a 5 upside down
GUN: We need to catch that hedgehog
Also GUN: *Doesn't block all roads, sends more robots, and block the metal crates so the Sonic won't escape*
Most the roads are blocked, the radio even says "Block all major roads"
They set it up to funnel Sonic into the arena that he fights the Bigfoot and then is surrounded by the GUN forces
Literally no one:
Dr.eggman: " Now I revel my real power"
I wanna see speedrunners aiming for WR on this mod!
Sauce?
Everyone in the comments is talking about "It's like what would happen if they actually wanted to catch Sonic." Did you guys forget they actually did catch Sonic after City Escape?
Yeah, they managed to get Sonic right after he fought a freaking mecha and met shadow, with like 15 robots surrounding him. The point is, it took GUN a whole day to gather a force who was able to catch Sonic :p
@@jeanbon2132 Sonic was already in a G.U.N helicopter before all that, they already captured him before the events of SA2
"I don't care about Sonic stories, they're cringe."
@@AkameGaKillfan777 Ngl they are kinda cringe
@@Swegin Wrong, Sonic actually let himself get captured. That what he said in the original Japanese Ver when Amy came to save him. He did this so that he could possibly learn more about Shadow and the situation he's in.
I love how in city escapes ending the GUN robots just stare at Sonic while he poses being like:”Shit he made it what do we do?”
I can see how much time has been puted into making this video,and only that already makes me push that like button to death.
don't really like how heavily the design leans on things like gates slowing sonic down, that doesn't make the game hard so much as it punishes the player for not knowing the layout, which has always been the worst aspect of sonic gameplay imo
Yes
oh? Yes
But it's a 20 year old game tho...
I'd say it emphasizes the platforming instead of blasting through, I think it fits well with the way Adventure 2 played. Though to each there own, hehe. o7
But what if...they added a countdown so you need to beat the level under a certain amount of time?
TF kinda level difficulty is this?! God hard? I’m so used to playing the highest difficulty on the one without the mod, but with this one, you’ve got a GUN robot and barriers around every corner, blasting at you. It’s impressive how you made it through all of them though, nice work. I need to try this out.
Honestly this seems to improved the level design instead of making only challenging
Childhood right here
City escape is perfect it's like the military is actively trying to stop you. Placing barriers, a bunch of enemies, and blocking inexplicably sonic esque ramps.
Danger is lurking around EVERY turn
This is really cool! I always found the hard mode mission in this game often wasn’t really that much harder; I think this mod does a better job of that. I wish I could play it. It would be awesome if you can do more Super Hard mode mods like this.
you have 50 seconds lets go rouge! 5 seconds is plenty!
lol Rouge needs to chill
Damn, I can't remember when I was this early before lmao
U can tell he's really good at the game, cuz he played it well even in super hard mode, master of skill
that looks extremely fun! I wish SA1 had the same treatment, at least in the Sonic and Tails levels.
Sonic Adventure 2 but the military has a bigger budget
Speedrunning highest difficulty be like:
0:36 Props for syncing up to the song there
I love how perfectly the music went with the gameplay at 5:45
So this is just *sa2 do everything perfectly or lose
basically, like if you get hit by the gates on the board, you actually have to restart. lmao
@@sonicovertime yeah. At least in modernized sa2 if you hit robots you fall off the board
That happens all the time: if you hit the spike balls at the end of Super Hard Metal Harbor, it will do the same thing.
I just wanted to troll you at the start of the level :^)
@@DryParatroopa yeah I actually found it kind of funny like that, if you fell off the board it would be to easy.
SA2 but the military actually has a budget this time
Bruh imagine crazy gadget. Nasty ass level
The level design actually looks pleasant and would stand great as a hard mode for sa2, now just tone up rouge's stages and then it'll be impossible mode
rouge's stage is actually pretty difficult the first time, its just that when you know where theu are, it becomes easier.
Patiently waiting for a remaster in this world of remasters
i need to see iron gate, the ultimate life form needs a really strong and dangerous security
and pyramid cave, i need to see more badnicks hahaha
Made my @$$ pucker at the end of that first level lol great job!
It's so satisfying to damage enemies while light speeding rings
This more evokes the emotion of annoyance rather than challenge
This gameplay is awesome. Him getting hit right before the goal ring cracked me up
I remember the feeling when that happened. lol
Im glad I grew up with hard mode... but darn! this is so much harder than I thought! D:
Honestly most of the barriers are either,
Unfair: the escaping the truck part you have to know they are coming
Or
time consuming: that slope where you have to break a bunch of boxes to progress for no reason at all other than to add time, it isn't even challenging
The enemies are pretty good on the other hand but the blocked of stuff isn't really fun or challenging in a fair way
Next time I'm allowed to hire someone into a lab I'm going to explicitly mention "Previous experience in making of sonic fan games is a plus"
lol
That truck would've squashed Sonic in hard mode.
Awww I felt for the guy when he lost all his rings at the end of the first level
WHY DID I LAUGHED AT THE THUMBNAIL ASHDFIOJAKSD
I thought this would be some Kaizo esque stuff but I legitimately can see myself being able to beat this and that's what I like the most about it
The most annoying/hilarious parts in shooters and any game. 1:57 😂
Especially if you can't get a single hit in.
Plus the floater was shooting his own guy for crying out loud lol.
Me: How hard?
Sonic Overtime: Super Hard. 😎
Me: So hard, that Sonic is pass out in the thumbnail?
Sonic Overtime: Exactly!
Suddenly, a wild Big the Cat cameo
You: Sonic Hard mode mod!
Me, squinting real hard at the Sonic and Shadow stages: You mean the 5th mission of every stage?
Me looking at the stages for the other characters: Holy crap yeah nevermind that is a mod
This is what Sonic Adventure easy mode should have been like (if there was an easy mode, i can't remember)
because it would make the game impossible to beat and that is what i call EASY (something I would never think of beating)
Woah! Watch out! We have a badass over here!
*Is this an out of season April Fool's joke?*
@@AkameGaKillfan777 yes it's an (whatever month it was) fools joke
You can't even hear the stage music in the mech stages with all the shooting you have to do x D
That looks super fun. I play hard mode alot going back to speed stages so its cool i get to pkay a hsrder mode than thst
should be an S rank for all this godliness
I love this mod. Seeing this makes the games more interesting. Would love to see more of this in actual releases
But as a side note, I hate Security Hall how it was regularly lmfaooo its mod for it increased my anxiety and disdain for the level more 😂
I love this i wonder when he'll do the rest od the stages
This is the way Radical highway was meant to be played
This gave me chills...😓
I need this, after beating the original over 10 times.
Somebody made Adventure 2 Kaizo hell. Nice.
This looks like one of those "Sonic Forces with good level design" videos
Btw random spikes and obstacles everywhere is bad design actually!
Sonic heroes hard mode is the most hardest sonic game up to date.
Sonic adventure 2 hard mode: hold my rings
0:23 Super Mario Galaxy is back
Excellent Shadow and Sonic the Hedgehog, and others SEGA Characters.
He said ouch and I felt that
I've seen so many mods of Mario. Hope they make one for all the Sonic games that were on Sega Genesis.
This probably makes SA2 better because pacing in vanilla game was slowed down artificially by unexpected explisions you're supposed to memorize etc. to lenghten the game as if it's actually got more content. Enemy swarming on the other hand is a natural way to slow the player down without any unfair tricks.
For abandoned areas like the Colony, for worldbuilding reasons, I'd rather go for making the player weaker rather than making the stage harder.
No, dropping enemies right in front of you, putting them around corners and firing machine guns from far away is cheap game design
3:03 & 3:10 Gosh this really scared me the most... o.O
0:00
City Escape if G.U.N actually tried to stop Sonic.
That second emerald piece in Aquatic amine is evil 😂
You are a pro broski
Internet ruined my winning streak. At least I came third.
Very good
Great video but explain how city escape keeps going downhill? Like are they on a mountain
Lost Colony is supposed to be a calm stage, jeez. This is crazy. 😆
yo knuckles can hold his breath for a LONG time
Alternate title: If GUN made an effort to catch Sonic in SA2
I like the thumbnail lol
The combination of fast speeds with obstacles around every corner....is this classic sonic?
woah the truck crashed
2:59
Big The Cat still can't find froggy 😥
Now this is what a real military is like.
This is what city escape would’ve been like if G.U.N was ACTUALLY trying to catch sonic. Just sayin
3:17
Sonic: *Does his victory poses*
G.U.N Robot: you are now surrounded!
Sonic:.......
G.U.N Robot: Ok if you don't care we will arrest you!
*Player back to main menu*
*Sonic gone*
G.U.N Robot: WTF
Oh hey, the stage is actually modified in a way that makes it harder in perfectly fair ways instead of basically putting invisible spikes everywhere.
I personally like the signs at the beginning of City Escape that force you to jump over them or restart the level, and the ones you can't see when getting chased by the truck!
*looks at title of video*
Me: you mean easy mode right? cuz that's no challenge my boi
in city escape I don't like how there are roadblocks in the very beginning that if you don't jump over ramp you have to start over seems like more of bad annoying custom level design rather then it being truly hard but some changes are nice and some enemy placements but not all are good
Now this is a Hard Mode.
Not like Sonic Forces tried to do.
Take notes Sega.
Do you plan to do more super hard stages?
I have a question, does this mod pack include pyramid cave?, It's one of my favorite levels so I'd like to try to speedrun it
it doesn't include pyramid cave yet.
@@sonicovertime dang it
Time to speedrun
The sound effect for this port is really loud
