I do consider Sky Deck a bad stage, despite Sonic Advenuture being my favourite sonic game. And Altitude Limit and Rail Canyon are also really bad stages, those were just impossible to finish with a good rank, or even have a good time
ThePerfectChaos - Rail Canyon is appalling to me but still not the worst in the game. Sky Deck is really hard but I quite like it, but could have benefited from 2D sections down the ramps where it's impossible to go off it and die just due to the camera
For Sonic 06, I would've gone with End of the World for pretty much being a culmination of everything terrible about the game. Shit level design, being forced to use each playable character except for the two closest to being functional, conveniently enough, loading screens everywhere, and then including obstacles that instantly kill you and appear from thin air.
This video was a very pleasant surprise, I really enjoyed it. Unleashed is my favourite Sonic game of all time but Eggmanland is a chore, particularly with the PS3 frame rate issues. 5. Dusty Desert (Silver) - ball puzzle says it all but the rest is fairly harmless 4. Metropolis - no one wants to admit it, but Sonic 4 did it much better with Mad Gear (same with Lost Labyrinth) 3. Marble Garden - Where? What? Why? Confusing design and far too vertical with stupid spinning tips and then a woeful boss fight 2. Bingo Highway - Absolutely unplayable and one of the worst theme songs I've ever heard 1. Mad Space - Abomination. The worst of the bunch, and it's a sickeningly bad bunch of treasure hunting levels in this game
2:16 That's probably a joke but the real reason is that metropolis zone has three acts is that another zone was put into it. The name of the zone? Geniside/ cyber city zone
People hate it for it's length and difficulty. I find a great level and one of the best looking levels in the game. It may be hard, but it is fitting because not only did Eggman finally made Eggmanland, but it is also the final level, so it has a difficulty worthy of a final level. This is one of the hardest levels you can get in Sonic. Sadly we don't see anything like this anymore, since everything is so easy now, looking at you Sonic Forced dissapointment. As much as I find Sonic Forces okay, it was way too easy. Sonic Unleashed can go from slightly easy to pretty hard which is something I like about Sonic Unleashed. Let's hope we get an ACTUAL good game with ACTUAL difficulty and story. I doubt that would happen, but I really hope Sonic Team can pull it together and regain my full trust again.
Damn good list you got here mate. I gotta say, I think that Security Hall from SA2B and Blue Marine from Sonic Blast are the worst. Never have I wanted to kill myself more than Blue Marine.
Kirbonic Pikmin oh god imagine if mad space had a 5 minute time limit just like security hall did That would be the worst level out of any video game ever
10. I don't mind Sonic's version of this level so much, but Shadow's and Silver's versions were just blargh. 9. The starfish are called Asterons, the crabs are called Shellcrackers, and the mantises are called Slicers. 8. I didn't think this one was that horrible but I will admit it wasn't as good as it was in Colors and it wasn't as good as Generations' other stages. 7. Haven't played, but I do want to. 6. Agreed. This level is just a total bore. And in the GBA port, get ready for the slow down to be at its absolute worst. 5. See #7. 4. This level in both versions is a complete train wreck. 3. I didn't mind this level as Tails, mostly because his flight makes it go by quickly, but as Sonic and Knuckles, UGGGGHHHHHH. 2. I hate Collision Chaos more. 1. I think the Treasure Hunting stages were mostly fine, but this one can go drown in liquid concrete. Cool list man.
Jack The Lightning Ripper - I agree with Dusty Desert, although I think the whole concept of carrying Elise is ridiculous, Sonic's version is OK. Shadow's is too hard and Silver's can just die. Also, trust me you do not want to play Rail Canyon. Not only because you have to also play a similarly awful level called Bingo Highway in order to get there
1:53-Oh please. It’s just meant to be a challenge. Though I can honestly agree on the Asterons. I FREAKING HATE THOSE! 3:05-I found the last Rocket section to be impossible! For a while anyway but I did eventually beat it! 5:25-Really? Personally really beating on a dead horse here. Be lucky this WASN’T THE SECOND ZONE AS INTENDED! 8:23-Even I’d agree this is one of the hardest levels in Sonic History,especially in the PS3/360 Version! 10:33-Yeah. Sonic CD’s probably my least favorite of the Classic Sonic games,and this oddly enough is the level I enjoyed the least.
I completely forgot about Planet Wisp in Generations, and I'm not happy to remember it. God, I remember that level being the most tedious to beat with an A rank (because I did that type of shit), and really amazes me that they did a level from Sonic 06 better than a level from Sonic Colors, a game I think everyone could agree on as a better game. Also Mad Space is just so broken, but I can't even say it's the fun broken like SA1. Everything works against you and it's not at all fun, and this is from someone who can find actual enjoyment out of the treasure hunting stages.
I love this video so much lol. The reasoning behind each stage is very valid, the humor is pretty good, and I really enjoy the editing. If you didn't do a top 10 favorite sonic stages I'd love to see that!
The only people who hate wacky workbench are people who suck at it. You can blaze through rail canyon but still hate it, much like everything else on this list. But everyone how hates wacky workbench can never get through it fluidly. It's one of those "git good" levels.
The only reason i would hate wacky workbench is when your trying to get the good ending. Otherwise its fairly easy like any other zone in CD for me anyways Not only are the generators and the past teleporters hard to find but it is also hard to gain enough to get to the past It also has the worst music in sonic CD in my opinion ( japan version )
I didn't really mind Sky Deck, Altitude Limit, or Rail Canyon. Same goes for Bullet Station. However, I absolutely despise Egg Utopia, Wing Fortress, Sonic 2's Death Egg Zone, Scrap Brain, Dead Line, Techno Base, Sky Canyon, Eternal Engine, Route 280, Crazy Gadget, Casinopolis (Sonic), Egg Rocket and Cosmic Angel, Casino Park, and Bingo Highway.
Oh yeah eternal engine. The music is honestly good enough to make up for the though. Don't know why you hate crazy gadget though. Just because a level is hard doesn't mean it's bad
I really like Mad Space, it's my favorite Treasure hunting level in the Adventure games. It's not that bad when you memorise the shard spawn locations and get better at the controls.
Good list, my least favorite 3d level is Mad Space and 2d level is Egg Rocket from Advance 1. Also, I love Wacky Workbench and CD is my favorite Sonic game, kek.
god i hate those bastards, they complain it took an hour and how "a sonic stage shouldn't take an hour", dickheads i swear, i can beat the level in under 20 minutes with no death now and my first run was 30 mins for god sake
1.- Really glad to see you back, I hope to see you more often. 2.- Nothing on Shadow The Hedgehog? I mean, I liked the game (even though I did the "finish the game 10 times" cancer and some of the levels, along all of the bosses, sucked) but I thought that, at least, one level of that game should have appeared here. 3.- Will you do a Top Ten Best Sonic Levels to balance this video? Thank you for reading and have a good day.
You're going to do your own Top 10 Sonic Zones? But... but Chaps already... I would pretend to get upset but I enjoyed this list so much that I really want to see another even if it means duplicating a ChAps topic
I didn't think Mad Space was that bad. To me it almost seemed like a Mario galaxy level if you had the ability to fly and everything was just a little bit janky. It wasn't good by any means, but I thought it was at least a little fun to mess around with. Then again I'm the kind of guy who bought Sonic adventure for the chao garden so hey, what do I know?
You know what stages I DREAD playing? The Casino Night Zone stages from the classic Sonic games. They're not particularly hard, but I find it incredibly annoying that there are so many things that sonic can bounce off of. Even with the cool slot machines, it still feels like the stage was designed to waste time. Also, that stage has the WORST music that I have (personally) heard in all the Sonic games that I have played. Anyway, my point is that I expect sonic to be... fast and the Casino Night Zone stages ruin that feeling for me. By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if the Casino Night Zone stages are also hated by professional speedrunners.
chronic speed i get it, its because sonic speed is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air of a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) at sea level, this speed is approximately 343 m/s, 1,125 ft/s, 768 mph, 667 knots, or 1,235 km/h and chronic rhymes with sonic haha
I'd put Crazy Gadget or Route 280 onto this list WAAAAAAAAAAAY before I'd even consider Mad Space. Sure, it's not good and is a torture tool for the dyslexic and those with a bad sense of direction, but it's harmless enough when you understand the level's mechanics and avoid the Spherical planet at all costs. I also kinda think that Eggmanland is a bold design decision and like it for what it is. I do love that you teased The Doom and didn't put it on this list. I could feel you wanted to but just couldn't make room for it. other ones I'd have considered include: Sky Canyon (Sonic Advance 2), Frozen Factory (Sonic Lost World 3DS), Casino Street Act 2 (Sonic 4 Ep. 1 Mobile), Egg Rocket (Sonic Advance), Scrap Brain (Sonic the Hedgehog) ((noteworthy because it has lots of bullshit beforehand and the last part is Labyrinth Zone act 4)), Death Egg (Sonic & Knuckles), The Showdown (Sonic Spinball), and the aformentioned The Doom. quite a few of the levels I listed here make Sky Deck and Whacky Workbench look tame by comparison. Especially Lost World 3DS Frozen Factory. there's a level in there that is frustrating to the max.
'Twas expecting Wacky Workbench, but Sky Deck being so high really surprised me. I genuinely don't think it's that bad. I've also managed to bypass the ladder climbing during the ship nose-diving near the end. Still, this was a good video.
I never really had a problem with Metropolis Zone. I had the NTSC version (like almost everyone outside of Europe) and only lost two lives in the entire zone on my first try. In fact I had more trouble in Wing Fortress but blame the boss, not the levels themselves.
Nice list 10. I don't mind this one. I beat the Silver section easily. I think Flame Core is the worst stage in this game. 9. One word. Bad enemy placement. 8. Aw... They ruined my all time favorite Sonic stage :( 7. This is just basically Final Rush but not good and very cheap. 6. My least favorite classic Sonic stage. Seriously I despise this stage. 5. I don't mind this stage. The rail physics didn't bother me. I do think it's way to long tho. 4. I'm not sure if I hate this or Shamar more. 3. I actually like this stage. If the camera wasn't bad I might consider it great. 2. I forgot this stage existed. Good. 1. This is contender against Labyrinth Zone, and The Doom for my least favorite stage ever.
1 Eggmanland 2 every single Sonic 06 level except the levels where Sonic carries the princess (hey, at least there are no max speed sections or shitty snowboarding sections) 3 every single Big level in Sonic Adventure 1 (especially Ice cap) 4 Mad Space 5 Wacky Workbench 6 Labyrinth Zone 7 Metropolis Zone 8 Rail Canyon/Bullet Station 9 Security Hall 10 Casino Park/Bingo Highway
I hated The Doom from Shadow The Hedgehog. I rented that game one Friday night and attempted to beat it, but I couldn’t. On my first attempted run, I got to The Doom where the hero and dark missions involved finding humans to do whatever based on the respective alignment. It is a nonlinear level where it is really easy to get lost. I am so glad that I don’t own that game.
I honestly don't understand why people consider Wacky Workbench to be so bad. I was never bothered by the gimmicks. Maybe it's just because I've played Sonic CD so much that I'm used to it. And no matter which Soundtrack you prefer, Wacky Workbench has great music. But I honestly think Metallic Madness is much worse. Sure Wacky Workbench was annoying with its bouncing but at least it was as simple as left to right. Metallic Madness feels like a maze and I keep getting lost. Insta Kill traps, dumb tiny Sonic Section, tubes that will rarely send you in the right direction, and that god damn bottomless pit in act 3.
The funny thing about Planet Wisp is that Act 2 is basically designed like an actual level from Colors... in that it’s a 2D level that wants you to think it’s 3D... and it sucks (fuck Colors).
I never really considered altitude limit as a "bad" stage. I actually liked the stage, but I kinda agree with you because Sonic Rush was my first sonic game and I had a lot of trouble with altitude limit as a starter
Metallic Madness is a terrible level, but I find it's less messy than Wacky Workbench, and at least there's prime opportunities to time travel, unlike Act 1 of Workbench. That level makes you have to do a really awkward maneuver in order to keep up a decent speed. It's terrible. That and the Generator location in WW Act 1 is bullshit. How was anyone supposed to figure that out?
My opinions on some of your choices Altitude limit: I hate altitude limit I had to go and swap to blaze to beat this so I could save my self with her hovering Labryth: yeah bad water level Wacky workbench: eh I don’t mind it that much Mentropolis: I like mentropolis
10. Didn't hate Sonics part of this stage. Shadows was meh and Silvers was as bad as you said it was. 9. Enemy placement is also my main complaint. We both have this as number 9 on our lists. 8. Pretty much the only part of Generations I don't like. A shame since the original stage is so good. 7. Haven't play Rush in years, but I remember not liking this stage much. 6. Yep. It's bad. 5. Didn't hate the design, but the rail switching is very much a problem. With better rail switching, this could have been a fun stage. 4. Unfair difficulty is one thing I can't stand and eggmanland is filled with it. The werehog section when you have to jump on the pipes is especially infuriating. 3. My second least favorite stage in Adventure. The camera is very bad in this stage. 2. Never played sonic CD, so no opinion on this one. 1. Agreed. My least favorite part of any sonic game. So broken. Great video! I really enjoyed it!
TCSGaming - Yeah, they're both good lists. I actually think Casinopolis is the worst from Adventure as it is completely different to anything else from a Sonic game ever. And for Sonic 06, it's got to be Dusty Desert for Silver's section alone, but Sonic & Knuckles's Flame Core should not be ignored, nor should Shadow's Kingdom Valley since it doesn't work
what's wrong with something different in sonic game? (welp to be fair I didn't like casinopolis) also when are they going to make tails adventure? tails in SA1 controlled perfectly
"unfair difficulty"? bitch ITS THE LAST LEVEL, and it was a level hyped up since SONIC ADVENTURE 1 DUDE, a final level SHOULD screw you over, the game needs to test how much better you became, a game shouldnt just be super easy, it makes it boring
I would argue eggman land is perhaps the worst sonic stage of all time rivalled only by a level that isn't even on this list. That 3D underwater stage in sonic lost world on the 3ds that forces you to use perhaps the worlds worst controls for the drill wisp which isn't optional and making every situation do or die
I'm right there with you on #1. Out of all the levels, THAT is going to be the one keeping me from unlocking Green Hill the longest.
I beat mission 4 on my first try, and mission 5 is as hard as Pumpkin Hill mission 5
Honestly, after you muster up the shear force of will required, the extra missions on it aren't too much worse than the first. Still bad, mind.
Technically the cart stages will most likely keep people from getting green hill zone. I gave up on mission 3 for tails.
"What good can be said about Mad Space?"
The music
The same music you'll listen to for 9 minutes at a time.
Yeah rogue had some of the best music
@@pokemaster361 it took like half an hour to beat it the first time I played it
Rail Canyon, Altitude Limit, Sky Deck... Never considered them as bad stages. Quite surprising.
I do consider Sky Deck a bad stage, despite Sonic Advenuture being my favourite sonic game.
And Altitude Limit and Rail Canyon are also really bad stages, those were just impossible to finish with a good rank, or even have a good time
Sky Deck isn't bad imo, but it's hard af
ThePerfectChaos - Rail Canyon is appalling to me but still not the worst in the game. Sky Deck is really hard but I quite like it, but could have benefited from 2D sections down the ramps where it's impossible to go off it and die just due to the camera
The Surgeon
Being honest, I only like the first part of Sky Deck (before you destroy the big ass canon with the rocket)
ThePerfectChaos - Fair enough, that's definitely the best bit. I prefer it as Knuckles than Sonic
No, the worst Sonic level is Labyrinth from Sonic GENESIS. It's nigh-unplayable!
He already mentioned it on the video.
Yep
Have you ever played sonic jam on the gamecom every level in that is insufferable
@@tammid8423Nah, that was Labyrinth Zone in Sonic 1. Sonic Genesis is a whole different beast altogether.
Liked the level but DESPISED that boss
For Sonic 06, I would've gone with End of the World for pretty much being a culmination of everything terrible about the game. Shit level design, being forced to use each playable character except for the two closest to being functional, conveniently enough, loading screens everywhere, and then including obstacles that instantly kill you and appear from thin air.
The Son of Sparda what do u think of Mania
Its the worst level in a game of mostly mediocre levels
Not exactly,I will say it was too short,and the characters being broken is not an execuse.
@@theutubepower1243 06 had good level design.
Ahmad Kazan I just didn’t have fun with most of them
Asteraunts, Shellcrackers and SLICERS. JOHNNY HATES SLICERS!
Those goddamned SLICERS!
Lmao I’m suprised to see another scmj/sgb viewer here lol
Ooooohhhhh the slicers!
This video was a very pleasant surprise, I really enjoyed it. Unleashed is my favourite Sonic game of all time but Eggmanland is a chore, particularly with the PS3 frame rate issues.
5. Dusty Desert (Silver) - ball puzzle says it all but the rest is fairly harmless
4. Metropolis - no one wants to admit it, but Sonic 4 did it much better with Mad Gear (same with Lost Labyrinth)
3. Marble Garden - Where? What? Why? Confusing design and far too vertical with stupid spinning tips and then a woeful boss fight
2. Bingo Highway - Absolutely unplayable and one of the worst theme songs I've ever heard
1. Mad Space - Abomination. The worst of the bunch, and it's a sickeningly bad bunch of treasure hunting levels in this game
Whats so bad about bingo highway’s music?
2:16 That's probably a joke but the real reason is that metropolis zone has three acts is that another zone was put into it. The name of the zone? Geniside/ cyber city zone
genocide*
Dude, the fact that level is hard doesn't mean it's bad.....
Sonic Stuff PL THANK YOU
If it was based on that, eggmanland would be #1
man, you laid down a serious burn on mad space #getrektbadspace
Eggmanland is great level lol
yea, people just hate it because it's hard
@@mastercreepy5893 people hate it because of how long it is
People hate it for it's length and difficulty. I find a great level and one of the best looking levels in the game. It may be hard, but it is fitting because not only did Eggman finally made Eggmanland, but it is also the final level, so it has a difficulty worthy of a final level.

Let's hope we get an ACTUAL good game with ACTUAL difficulty and story. I doubt that would happen, but I really hope Sonic Team can pull it together and regain my full trust again.
I appreciate the level of sarcasm and dry humor this video has.
Damn good list you got here mate. I gotta say, I think that Security Hall from SA2B and Blue Marine from Sonic Blast are the worst. Never have I wanted to kill myself more than Blue Marine.
Kirbonic Pikmin oh god imagine if mad space had a 5 minute time limit just like security hall did
That would be the worst level out of any video game ever
10. I don't mind Sonic's version of this level so much, but Shadow's and Silver's versions were just blargh.

5. See #7.
4. This level in both versions is a complete train wreck.
3. I didn't mind this level as Tails, mostly because his flight makes it go by quickly, but as Sonic and Knuckles, UGGGGHHHHHH.

Also, trust me you do not want to play Rail Canyon. Not only because you have to also play a similarly awful level called Bingo Highway in order to get there
Go play heroes and rush but be wary of altitude limit and final fortress
Maybe it was named Metropolis zone because... Superman beats up aliens and robots sometimes??
Me: Ok Google, Define Shattering.
Google: Okay, Shattering, breaking the already Broken.
Me: oh.
Honestly SA1 has held up very well. As long as you play the DC version and ignore all of Sky Deck’s jank
A fitting follow up to our Top 10 Sonic Zones. ;)
I personally think Marble Garden should have been somewhere on the list
Sonic 3 didn’t really have any bad zones imo
"If there is one Sonic game I cannot understand the love for, its Sonic CD".
I'm the exact same with "Sonic Unleashed". (The 360/PS3 version that is)
1:53-Oh please. It’s just meant to be a challenge. Though I can honestly agree on the Asterons. I FREAKING HATE THOSE!
3:05-I found the last Rocket section to be impossible! For a while anyway but I did eventually beat it!
5:25-Really? Personally really beating on a dead horse here. Be lucky this WASN’T THE SECOND ZONE AS INTENDED!
8:23-Even I’d agree this is one of the hardest levels in Sonic History,especially in the PS3/360 Version!
10:33-Yeah. Sonic CD’s probably my least favorite of the Classic Sonic games,and this oddly enough is the level I enjoyed the least.
altitude limit push me to my absolute limit
E its annoying but not the worst
Yeah same here
Altitude limit?
More like
Bad attitude limit! Cuz altitude limit made me have a bad attitude
This is dope, glad I found you man. You remind me of old school JonTron :)
You know what's worse than labyrinth zone? Lost labyrinth zone from Sonic 4 episode 1
Super Gengar Gamer But Lost Labyrinth only had 1 water level
The entire game of sonic 4 is worse than the entire list
Edit: Ok maybe sonic 4 isn’t as bad as mad space
I completely forgot about Planet Wisp in Generations, and I'm not happy to remember it. God, I remember that level being the most tedious to beat with an A rank (because I did that type of shit), and really amazes me that they did a level from Sonic 06 better than a level from Sonic Colors, a game I think everyone could agree on as a better game.
Also Mad Space is just so broken, but I can't even say it's the fun broken like SA1. Everything works against you and it's not at all fun, and this is from someone who can find actual enjoyment out of the treasure hunting stages.
Get back in bed with me!
11:12 doesnt it just make you love sonic mania even more?
like they used EVERY ONE of these PERFECTLY!
No Lava Mountain Act 2? I raged so hard on that level, it was pure ass
Riad Jaber ikr those cheap bomb mine carts that i heard can one shot even SUPER SONIC. ( wii u version )
I thought it was fun
Looking back I have no idea how I finished Sonic Adventure 2.
Some of the level design is unforgivable.
I love this video so much lol. The reasoning behind each stage is very valid, the humor is pretty good, and I really enjoy the editing. If you didn't do a top 10 favorite sonic stages I'd love to see that!
Wacky Workbench is there so I'm satisfied
The only people who hate wacky workbench are people who suck at it. You can blaze through rail canyon but still hate it, much like everything else on this list. But everyone how hates wacky workbench can never get through it fluidly. It's one of those "git good" levels.
The only reason i would hate wacky workbench is when your trying to get the good ending. Otherwise its fairly easy like any other zone in CD for me anyways
Not only are the generators and the past teleporters hard to find but it is also hard to gain enough to get to the past
It also has the worst music in sonic CD in my opinion ( japan version )
I didn't really mind Sky Deck, Altitude Limit, or Rail Canyon. Same goes for Bullet Station. However, I absolutely despise Egg Utopia, Wing Fortress, Sonic 2's Death Egg Zone, Scrap Brain, Dead Line, Techno Base, Sky Canyon, Eternal Engine, Route 280, Crazy Gadget, Casinopolis (Sonic), Egg Rocket and Cosmic Angel, Casino Park, and Bingo Highway.
Oh yeah eternal engine. The music is honestly good enough to make up for the though. Don't know why you hate crazy gadget though. Just because a level is hard doesn't mean it's bad
Bleck! We missed you!
Great countdown. Well argued and great delivery. Keep it up!
7:44
>complains of stage not working
>literally moves to the side of the rail when he could've just waited it out
Oh my god that BOJACK REFERENCE, YOU LEGEND. YOU EARNED THIS SUB BOI
I'm going to make a game that only has disliked sonic levels, and no one can stop me.
The first level is Marble Zone.
Put Scramble Egg from Sonic 2 master (great concept, horrible execution)
Maybe they named the zone "Metropolis" because the zone looks like you are in a building in Metropolis.
Then I am that special person because I like Sonic 06 but I agree that the Desert level is terrible specially on the End Of The World.
Sonic 06 has loads of great things, but the ball puzzle for Silver is just a terrible idea. And that's a problem
Oh finally. I'm reunited with my people. It's hard to come across you guys sometimes.
Hard 06 levels: dusty desert, end of world, flame core, and any zone that uses mach speed
I really like Mad Space, it's my favorite Treasure hunting level in the Adventure games. It's not that bad when you memorise the shard spawn locations and get better at the controls.
And get used to the reversed detector readings
I still like pumpkin hill or security hall more but power to u
Good list, my least favorite 3d level is Mad Space and 2d level is Egg Rocket from Advance 1.
Also, I love Wacky Workbench and CD is my favorite Sonic game, kek.
Metropolis zone was my favorite level from any video game for a few years
*Eggmanland is bad because it's long and hard*
Normal Sonic fan complaint.
god i hate those bastards, they complain it took an hour and how "a sonic stage shouldn't take an hour", dickheads i swear, i can beat the level in under 20 minutes with no death now and my first run was 30 mins for god sake
Eggmanland isn't great but i would gladly play it over Planet Wisp (Generations), Oil ocean and metropolis zone from sonic 2
Before watching: Calling it now, Wacky Workbench is on here.
Finally someone agrees that altitude limit is an awful stage
1.- Really glad to see you back, I hope to see you more often.
2.- Nothing on Shadow The Hedgehog? I mean, I liked the game (even though I did the "finish the game 10 times" cancer and some of the levels, along all of the bosses, sucked) but I thought that, at least, one level of that game should have appeared here.
3.- Will you do a Top Ten Best Sonic Levels to balance this video?
Thank you for reading and have a good day.
You're going to do your own Top 10 Sonic Zones? But... but Chaps already...
I would pretend to get upset but I enjoyed this list so much that I really want to see another even if it means duplicating a ChAps topic
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates 2D segments in 3D sonic stages
I didn't think Mad Space was that bad. To me it almost seemed like a Mario galaxy level if you had the ability to fly and everything was just a little bit janky. It wasn't good by any means, but I thought it was at least a little fun to mess around with.

By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if the Casino Night Zone stages are also hated by professional speedrunners.
I used to love Railway Canyon, but I fear that if I went back to the game it won't quite be the same as I remembered...
I like the music on Labyrinth Zone.
chronic speed
i get it, its because sonic speed is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds
the speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air of a
temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) at sea level, this speed is approximately 343 m/s, 1,125 ft/s, 768 mph, 667 knots, or 1,235 km/h and chronic rhymes with sonic haha
I'd put Crazy Gadget or Route 280 onto this list WAAAAAAAAAAAY before I'd even consider Mad Space. Sure, it's not good and is a torture tool for the dyslexic and those with a bad sense of direction, but it's harmless enough when you understand the level's mechanics and avoid the Spherical planet at all costs.
I also kinda think that Eggmanland is a bold design decision and like it for what it is.
I do love that you teased The Doom and didn't put it on this list. I could feel you wanted to but just couldn't make room for it.
other ones I'd have considered include: Sky Canyon (Sonic Advance 2), Frozen Factory (Sonic Lost World 3DS), Casino Street Act 2 (Sonic 4 Ep. 1 Mobile), Egg Rocket (Sonic Advance), Scrap Brain (Sonic the Hedgehog) ((noteworthy because it has lots of bullshit beforehand and the last part is Labyrinth Zone act 4)), Death Egg (Sonic & Knuckles), The Showdown (Sonic Spinball), and the aformentioned The Doom. quite a few of the levels I listed here make Sky Deck and Whacky Workbench look tame by comparison. Especially Lost World 3DS Frozen Factory. there's a level in there that is frustrating to the max.
Ey, someone finally mentions Rush... on the worst levels list....
Sega: Hey kid, Want tO PLAy EGGMAN LAND!?
You have earned my sub😄😏
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks metropolis zone is atrocious.
I wonder, what effects did you use to make the numbers in the transition change colour?
Countdown Bleck damn, that's pretty clever.
Altitude limit?
More like
Bad attitude limit
As that level made me have a bad attitude
Nice countdown...👌👌👌
You deserve more subscribers!
i liked the ilbis triggered one :D
thanks
'Twas expecting Wacky Workbench, but Sky Deck being so high really surprised me. I genuinely don't think it's that bad. I've also managed to bypass the ladder climbing during the ship nose-diving near the end. Still, this was a good video.
I never really had a problem with Metropolis Zone. I had the NTSC version (like almost everyone outside of Europe) and only lost two lives in the entire zone on my first try. In fact I had more trouble in Wing Fortress but blame the boss, not the levels themselves.
Honestly surprised that End of The World, Tidal Plant, Blue Marine and Scrambled Egg didn't make it on this list.
All of these could’ve been here, especially end of the world and blue marine
I think Labyrinth Zone is ok, It's not the best, but I still find some enjoyment out of it. I actually really like the music
LOL metropolis was my fave zone in S2
Let me just say this now.
I HATE HARD MODE 3DS FROZEN FACTORY
ya mudkip sanzma 524.
Why isnt it here?
Come to think of it, any level from Lost World 3DS would deserve a place in this list. It's basically how not to make a platformer 101.
Lava mountain zone 2 wii u
Rail Canyon in ps2 version dont have this rail error
So good, I watched it again
I kinda got a vibe that you think every 3D Sonic game is bad.
Nice list
10. I don't mind this one. I beat the Silver section easily. I think Flame Core is the worst stage in this game.
9. One word. Bad enemy placement.
8. Aw... They ruined my all time favorite Sonic stage :(
7. This is just basically Final Rush but not good and very cheap.
6. My least favorite classic Sonic stage. Seriously I despise this stage.
5. I don't mind this stage. The rail physics didn't bother me. I do think it's way to long tho.
4. I'm not sure if I hate this or Shamar more.
3. I actually like this stage. If the camera wasn't bad I might consider it great.
2. I forgot this stage existed. Good.
1. This is contender against Labyrinth Zone, and The Doom for my least favorite stage ever.
1 Eggmanland
2 every single Sonic 06 level except the levels where Sonic carries the princess (hey, at least there are no max speed sections or shitty snowboarding sections)
3 every single Big level in Sonic Adventure 1 (especially Ice cap)
4 Mad Space
5 Wacky Workbench
6 Labyrinth Zone
7 Metropolis Zone
8 Rail Canyon/Bullet Station
9 Security Hall
10 Casino Park/Bingo Highway
I hated The Doom from Shadow The Hedgehog. I rented that game one Friday night and attempted to beat it, but I couldn’t. On my first attempted run, I got to The Doom where the hero and dark missions involved finding humans to do whatever based on the respective alignment. It is a nonlinear level where it is really easy to get lost. I am so glad that I don’t own that game.
You could list the whole game on Shadow the Hedgehog
Tidal Yacht i know
I honestly don't understand why people consider Wacky Workbench to be so bad. I was never bothered by the gimmicks. Maybe it's just because I've played Sonic CD so much that I'm used to it. And no matter which Soundtrack you prefer, Wacky Workbench has great music. But I honestly think Metallic Madness is much worse. Sure Wacky Workbench was annoying with its bouncing but at least it was as simple as left to right. Metallic Madness feels like a maze and I keep getting lost. Insta Kill traps, dumb tiny Sonic Section, tubes that will rarely send you in the right direction, and that god damn bottomless pit in act 3.
5:40 labyrinth zone has adrenaline
just wait for about 20 seconds underwater without any air bubbles
Lost Impact from Shadow The Hedgehog (Hero Mission)
^ The reason I'm dead inside (o:
The funny thing about Planet Wisp is that Act 2 is basically designed like an actual level from Colors... in that it’s a 2D level that wants you to think it’s 3D... and it sucks (fuck Colors).
I’ll defend Wacky WorkBench, the goal is to avoid going up. If you platform near the bottom it’s easy
I never really considered altitude limit as a "bad" stage. I actually liked the stage, but I kinda agree with you because Sonic Rush was my first sonic game and I had a lot of trouble with altitude limit as a starter
I thought that #2 was weird. Metallic Madness is by far the worst stage in sonic CD.
Metallic Madness is a terrible level, but I find it's less messy than Wacky Workbench, and at least there's prime opportunities to time travel, unlike Act 1 of Workbench. That level makes you have to do a really awkward maneuver in order to keep up a decent speed. It's terrible.
That and the Generator location in WW Act 1 is bullshit. How was anyone supposed to figure that out?
2004: finally i can play sonic adventure on my pc (didn't have a dc)
2016: time to play some SADX... fuck, alt f4 at the first glitch
My opinions on some of your choices
Altitude limit: I hate altitude limit I had to go and swap to blaze to beat this so I could save my self with her hovering
Labryth: yeah bad water level
Wacky workbench: eh I don’t mind it that much
Mentropolis: I like mentropolis
Metropolis Zone and Metallic Madness both have springs that launch you into SPIKED CIELINGS.
10. Didn't hate Sonics part of this stage. Shadows was meh and Silvers was as bad as you said it was.
9. Enemy placement is also my main complaint. We both have this as number 9 on our lists.
8. Pretty much the only part of Generations I don't like. A shame since the original stage is so good.
7. Haven't play Rush in years, but I remember not liking this stage much.
6. Yep. It's bad.
5. Didn't hate the design, but the rail switching is very much a problem. With better rail switching, this could have been a fun stage.
4. Unfair difficulty is one thing I can't stand and eggmanland is filled with it. The werehog section when you have to jump on the pipes is especially infuriating.
3. My second least favorite stage in Adventure. The camera is very bad in this stage.
2. Never played sonic CD, so no opinion on this one.
1. Agreed. My least favorite part of any sonic game. So broken.
Great video! I really enjoyed it!
Countdown Bleck Wow thanks for watching haha. End of the world is a pain too.
TCSGaming - Yeah, they're both good lists. I actually think Casinopolis is the worst from Adventure as it is completely different to anything else from a Sonic game ever. And for Sonic 06, it's got to be Dusty Desert for Silver's section alone, but Sonic & Knuckles's Flame Core should not be ignored, nor should Shadow's Kingdom Valley since it doesn't work
what's wrong with something different in sonic game? (welp to be fair I didn't like casinopolis) also when are they going to make tails adventure? tails in SA1 controlled perfectly
So you hate Eggmanland because it's hard?
Something tells me you hate challenge.
"unfair difficulty"? bitch ITS THE LAST LEVEL, and it was a level hyped up since SONIC ADVENTURE 1 DUDE, a final level SHOULD screw you over, the game needs to test how much better you became, a game shouldnt just be super easy, it makes it boring
Metropolis zone is a piece of piss.
If you get all the chaos emeralds beforehand.
before watching through i thought this was a video about sonic06
I would argue eggman land is perhaps the worst sonic stage of all time rivalled only by a level that isn't even on this list. That 3D underwater stage in sonic lost world on the 3ds that forces you to use perhaps the worlds worst controls for the drill wisp which isn't optional and making every situation do or die
sonic lost world 3ds Frozen Factory act 3. Enough Said
Iblis triggered
I fucking love it
Rail Canyon, Attitude Limit, Sonic Unleashed Werehog Stages and Mad Space were all the levels I suffered from my Childhood.
hot take: metropolis zone is worst than labyrinth zone, i don't expect anyone to agree with me, but at least labyrinth zone is shorter right
i like wacky worckbench because i never have been confused with level design and the japanese present music and bad future music are so good
mad space ruined my weekend
Bleck: I'm starting to think that sonic 06 is a not good video game.
Me: oh you think!!
Sonic Heroes was my first Sonic game, so I don't hate Rail Canyon, but it has to be my least favorite in the game.
FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO HATES WACKY WORKBENCH AS MUCH AS ME!!
now we have titanic monarch zone,wow that zone is horrible.
I was expecting marble zone and scrap brain zone to make it
I'm surprised neither The Doom or Lost Impact from STH made the list.
