I kinda miss these more "wacky" level designs in Sonic games. The ones that really made you go "WHOA, that's cool!" Instead of the more down to earth "realistic" levels. We get it, Sonic goes through loops. But this level did something none of the other games did. You went through one of the loops, then flipped the castle and you go on that same loop only on a rail and upside down. Small detail but it really makes you kinda chuckle and say "that was pretty cool"
Heroes really had some amazing graphic design. The game looks beautiful (aside from the characters looking like they all jumped into a tub of Vaseline and playing like it too), and like you said the enviroments are really creative. Meanwhile Forces has generic green hills (with maybe one loop in the stage), generic military base/chemical plant. The only stages they tried something interesting with is Luminous Forest and the Metropolis stages. Meanwhile in Heroes you're traveling through haunted castles and entire armandas doing upsidedown loops and destroying entire battleships.
Nekai and what makes it the best sonic game huh? The slow boring stages or the fast stages you get to play every once and awhile or maybe it was all the reading you had to do as if your playing a ds game?
This stage has got some of the coolest level design in the game! Moments like 5:37, 1:23, 2:12, 5:05 and 2:42 are incredible. I'm a sucker for the music too. :D
I seriously used to have nightmares about this stage...the big moon first of all lol. And about the castle and how it’s just...within a void haha. If that makes sense This will always be one of my favorite levels though! 🎃
As a kid, this stage freaked me out, especially the music that's playing while they are upside down... I got this game again last week, now I'm almost 19 and it still freaks me out. I hate this stage, which is sad because the attention to details here is amazing.
Amy Rose: I hate places like this. Big: Feels like I'm falling up. Charmy: Key? Key? You mean castle key? Cream: The castle seems like it's going to fall down. Espio: What a mysterious place. Knuckles: This place makes me feel uneasy. Omega: Anomaly detected in gravity field. Surrounding area unstable. Rouge: Heh. That Knuckles sure hadn't changed much. Shadow: 'Sonic'... Why does that name... bother me so much? Sonic: I never thought I'd see Shadow again. Tails: An upside-down castle? Vector: A key hunt in a strange place like this.
I literally JUST noticed while playing today on our immolator that Dr. Eggman's statue when turned upside down is Metal Sonic! At 5:00 I was "WHOA I never noticed that as a kid!"
I'm bummed this level wasn't in Generations. There could've been a cool background detail where this time the stage has a statue of the Time Eater and flips upside down to turn into an Eggman statue.
As a kid I was always entertained at 0:30 Knuckles got that ultra head start and still got beat by Sonic lol. And at 0:36 it always looks like Tails didn't quite make the jump there lol. Memories!
Link Legend - Family Safe Gaming the initial explanation we are given at the end of the team dark storyline in this game is that the shadow in sonic heroes isn’t the “real” shadow at all, but instead one of many clones Eggman somehow whipped together. This gets brought up in the shadow the hedgehog spinoff for drama, though the premise is ultimately discarded as Apparently during STH’s final boss Eggman states that the shadow we have been playing is indeed the original, having somehow survived re-entry.
Fun Fact, One Side Of The Hang Castle Statue Looks Just Like Dr. Eggman, And The OTHER Side Of The Statue Looks Exactly Like Metal Sonic. That's Some PERFECT Foreshadowing!
hits me right in my childhood I remember I kept dying on this level but thanks to me and my sister we bet it I love this music but my favorite levels are casino park,frog Forrest,and the beach we start the game at.(I forgot the name of it lol😅)
Sonic The Hedgehog: Yes! (Stages cleared) (Whistles) That was TIGHT! (A Rank) Too easy! (B Rank) Barely made it! (C Rank) Hmm... No problem. (D Rank) Shoot. Not my day. (E Rank) Miles "Tails" Prower: All right. (All stages cleared) Sonic! Knuckles! We did it! (A Rank) Not too shabby. (B Rank) Guess that's that. (C Rank) A bit tough! (D Rank) We can do better. (E Rank) Knuckles The Echidna: All right.(stages cleared) Perfect! (A Rank) Hmm, not bad. (B Rank) Guess that's about it. (C Rank) I didn't use all my strength! (D Rank) Just enough to pass. (E Rank)
This stage, oh damn, I remember them with a lot of creepy sensations, this because the music, but, I love it. Good memories oh damn!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 And now when I am adult, I listen to the music, is a masterpiece that make you enter on the mood spooky
“I saw Shadow and Eggman head this way.” Okay two things: 1: You JUST beat Shadow in Frog Forest how could he ever get here before us? 2: There was no indication that Eggman was in Frog Forest so how would you know he was heading here?
I remember I was stuck and scared of this level so I had to get my brother to beat this lol but if I played this again then I can for sure figure it out
Miles 'Tails' Prower: Sonic, You Sure This Is The Right Way? Sonic The Hedgehog: I Saw Shadow & Eggman Head This Way. Miles 'Tails' Prower: But It's So Spooky Here. Knuckles The Echidna: Maybe... That's The Ghost Of Shadow We Saw Earlier. Miles 'Tails' Prower: Whaaa...! Stop It, Knuckles!
i always wondered to myself did eggman built this place? or was it already there and eggman discovered it and set up one of his bases there putting his own imaginary there over already existing architecture that shares similarities to one's found in pumpkin hill by what ever race lived there?
I laughed to that part when tails got scared when knuckles said maybe its the ghost of shadow we saw earlier 🤣 poor knuckles messing with tails just to scare him
Also when they find the egg man statue when the castle gets flipped upside down you see metal sonic, nice foreshadowing
+WHERES MY HANDS Where did you see that?! Are you serious?!!!
+Raye Star around 5:02
+WHERES MY HANDS Oh I see it. The yellow eyes were his eyes
I love the attention to detail in the level.
That's some amazing detail!
I can't be the only one who misses the Halloween themed stages
You're not. =D
Not alone man!
KnightOfTheWind definitely not alone!
What i don't miss is the casino themed stages
Your not alone I do too my friend

Jokerson sonic heroes n the adventure game designs were some different brah I really miss it 06 too it just had some glitches

Unleashed had the perfect mix though
The music. Why is Michael Jackson being chased by a bunch of ducks?
+DJ Hills :)
The ducks found him on his song "Chicago".
1245lmdf i just hear a witch screaming junk
KaptainDeej I personally like the music
As I stop and listen closely 😂😂
this stage had so much potential to be in generations, rather than seaside hill >_>
I think they only thought Seaside Hill was popular because it was the first level. I guess they assumed people didn't play this far.
From what I know, they did a public survey where they asked fans for their favorite levels from each game. So i guess that's just what they chose
I wish it was
@@MrJonnysuperfast They should'nt have asked the fans, because the game in the end has FOUR CITY ZONES.
yeah but to be fair how much would you like to see a grand metropolis for generations would be sick.
0:37 rip tails
survival of the fittest
He can fly so he's ok
Really.
"Whaaa...! Stop it, Knuckles!"
Adorable.
I love the way Sonic screamed when he was frightened by the ghosts and how he says, "What?"
I really liked the music for this level
Just now noticing that eggmans castles becomes neo metal sonic when flipped upside down at 4:50
ZeeGee same
Sonic: eggman's got some serious problems.
Me: yeah! Oversized ego.
A trip down memory lane, easily one of the best Sonic games. So much interaction. (':
Sonic Heroes #1
Sonic Unleashed #2
for me

FirstBornCarlos_2 woah unleashed was shit
Kakyoin’s menacing Paint brush whoa a shit comment, sonic unleashed is one of the best sonic game ever made..... but it’s your opinion ;)

I have to admit, this is my favorite level in the entire game.
1:50 dat mini heart attack
I always thought this stage design was brilliant. I love the normal/inverted mechanics.
I seriously used to have nightmares about this stage...the big moon first of all lol. And about the castle and how it’s just...within a void haha. If that makes sense
This will always be one of my favorite levels though! 🎃
Haha, i remember getting nightmares from this level XD
Hang Castle is the closest Sonic Heroes gets to having a space level due to gravity gimmicks.
One wrong step and that could've been a one-way trip to space
I think this is my favorite level in the game for all four teams. Mostly because of the dialogue and the music when the castle is upside down
I didn't play SA2 before this game so the introductory cutscene always confused the hell out of me
I love the end of this stage. You run up the side of the castle at full speed.
As a kid, this stage freaked me out, especially the music that's playing while they are upside down... I got this game again last week, now I'm almost 19 and it still freaks me out. I hate this stage, which is sad because the attention to details here is amazing.
Oh, the memories.
Same
Me too back when I was a teenager playing this game I still have it after all these years
Amy Rose: I hate places like this.
Big: Feels like I'm falling up.
Charmy: Key? Key? You mean castle key?
Cream: The castle seems like it's going to fall down.
Espio: What a mysterious place.
Knuckles: This place makes me feel uneasy.
Omega: Anomaly detected in gravity field. Surrounding area unstable.
Rouge: Heh. That Knuckles sure hadn't changed much.
Shadow: 'Sonic'... Why does that name... bother me so much?
Sonic: I never thought I'd see Shadow again.
Tails: An upside-down castle?
Vector: A key hunt in a strange place like this.
Sounds to me like Rouge STILL had a thing for Knuckles! 😂
Nah she definitely like shadow lol
Do they have to remind us that the castle is turned upside down EVERY TIME!?
Oh how I love these Halloween themed Sonic game levels.
0:26 Shadow: “I’M NOT DEAD!”
I literally JUST noticed while playing today on our immolator that Dr. Eggman's statue when turned upside down is Metal Sonic! At 5:00

Well sonics considered the fastest thing alive in his universe so it's no surprise he beat knuckles
Same lol
Sonic The Hedgehog: Here we go.
Miles "Tails" Prower: Leave it to me.
Knuckles The Echidna: Got it.
That gigantic moon being on the ground freaked me out a little when I finally managed to beat that railroad level.
Idk why but it legit traumatized me when I was little 😅😅
0:21 CONTINUITY!!!!!!
+Douglas Murphy has been blown to pieces!
I dont get it. Explain pls
Son Son, shadow "dies" at the end of sonic adventure 2. He was brought back in heroes due to his popularity. I can't remember their excuse though.

Aaron Wood eggman went and retrieved/saved shadow from space after the end of sa2 and cloned him a bunch.
Fun Fact, One Side Of The Hang Castle Statue Looks Just Like Dr. Eggman, And The OTHER Side Of The Statue Looks Exactly Like Metal Sonic. That's Some PERFECT Foreshadowing!
Just an absolute Oscar worthy performance by William corkery in the beginning
when i was a kid this mission scared me
Tails: Ahhhhhhh. The castle is turned upside down again.
Sonic: We're back to normal, now.
Why do people hate this game?
It looks damn fun!8D
Tails:the castle is flipped upside down
Sonic:yeah thanks captain obvious
It's not Captain Obvious, it's SPEEDWAGON.
hits me right in my childhood I remember I kept dying on this level but thanks to me and my sister we bet it I love this music but my favorite levels are casino park,frog Forrest,and the beach we start the game at.(I forgot the name of it lol😅)
Seaside Hill
What a game this was. & such a complete level. Music was fire too
If you pause at the right moment, there is no characters!!! IT REALLY IS SPOOKY HERE!!!
Tails talking like a drunk at the beginning always gets me lol
This stage was very funky
This place gives us the creeps but we’ve got to be brave.
Oh my God tails sound so cute! :P
+Chris DoesGameing Tail's voice actor is a girl!
I figured that by the sound of it too hUEheuHEUHeuhueheueuheueu
Don't have to laugh like dat! Lol
+ThatOneDoodChris tails sounds like a lil bitch
+Remy 05 Not in this game. Tails' actor was a little boy whose parents were the actors of Espio and Charmy. True story.
3:16 man you got that on time with the music
(Sonic) What?
(Knuckles) What's going on?
(Tails) The Castle, flip upside down.
Sonic The Hedgehog: Yes! (Stages cleared)
(Whistles) That was TIGHT! (A Rank)
Too easy! (B Rank)
Barely made it! (C Rank)
Hmm... No problem. (D Rank)
Shoot. Not my day. (E Rank)

Sonic! Knuckles! We did it! (A Rank)
Not too shabby. (B Rank)
Guess that's that. (C Rank)
A bit tough! (D Rank)
We can do better. (E Rank)

Perfect! (A Rank)
Hmm, not bad. (B Rank)

I didn't use all my strength! (D Rank)
Just enough to pass. (E Rank)
Ima turn the lights off when I get to this stage to get that scary feeling 😍😍
Tails voice is soo cute in this game ❤️
Sonic: What?Knuckles: What's going on?Tails: The castle had flipped upside down.
*whistle* that was tIGHT
I always thought this level sounded like the movie Halloween Town.
when the castle inverts it reminds me of castlevania symphony of the night
This stage, oh damn, I remember them with a lot of creepy sensations, this because the music, but, I love it. Good memories oh damn!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
And now when I am adult, I listen to the music, is a masterpiece that make you enter on the mood spooky
The real question is whether the state the castle was in the beginning is the real castle, or the inverted one is the real one.
Rachel Harmer damn, dude.
Well, the original HAS to be normal, because of the moon's placement.
No One Ever Well the beginning song I called Hang Castle Normal so I think the right side up is real.
I just freaking love the song, which plays, when you are upside down
0:44 the sonic speed simulator part
This is my childhood.. :')
Teenage for me
Tails sounds so cute but so scared too I love it
0:58, Tails: Aaaahh! We're turning upside down again!
Sonic: We're back to normal, now.
heckin love this song
“We’re back to normal now!!!”
Nothing gets past you, eh Sonic?
got two minutes in thinking “wow! if this was in forces it would be over by now.” i miss good sonic games.
2:38
That always made me want to punch knuckles😂
What does that even MEAN dude?😂
0:43, Sonic: What?
Knuckles: What's going on?
Tails: The castle is flipped upside down.
“I saw Shadow and Eggman head this way.”
Okay two things:
1: You JUST beat Shadow in Frog Forest how could he ever get here before us?
2: There was no indication that Eggman was in Frog Forest so how would you know he was heading here?
The castle has flipped upside down!
+Shinobi 206 Aaaahh! We're turning back upside down again!
DABranche We're back to normal, now
Eggman's got some serious problems. Look at that statue...
was I the only one who was terrified of falling on this level?
No you wasn’t same here 😂😭
0:58 Sonic's so frustrated with Tails 🤣🤣🤣
I remember I was stuck and scared of this level so I had to get my brother to beat this lol but if I played this again then I can for sure figure it out
The invisible path with the torches lighting up is such a painful anxiety ridden mess!
The fear of falling into the sky represented by this stage
To this day, this level is still terrifying me.
Same here I thought I was the only one who actually scared of this level back then even when I first got to the level tbh 😂😨😧😦😖😱😭📀🎮📺🔌💯
Same here I thought I was the only one who actually scared of this level back then even when I first got to the level tbh 😂😨😧😦😖😱🧟♂️🧟🧟♀️🎃👻👹
4:07 Leave it to B J!
Miles 'Tails' Prower: Sonic, You Sure This Is The Right Way?
Sonic The Hedgehog: I Saw Shadow & Eggman Head This Way.
Miles 'Tails' Prower: But It's So Spooky Here.
Knuckles The Echidna: Maybe... That's The Ghost Of Shadow We Saw Earlier.
Miles 'Tails' Prower: Whaaa...! Stop It, Knuckles!
0:43 When I thought I had beaten Castlevania Symphony of the Night
This game needs an HD remaster
Totally!
reverse hang castle reminds me boiler room doom from crash twinsanity
wait,someone properly controlling this game? huh. never thought i'd see it. are the controls better on gamecube or something?
I never had much of an issue, myself. I was on the Xbox.
blueblur98 GameCube was the lead dev version.
The PS2 Version is crap. I couldn't beat that frog level, but I have less issues on the gc version
When Team Sonic break the fourth wall
Me-NOOOOOO!,STOP STARING AT ME!
I can't believe I didn't notice the fact that the Eggman statue gets replaced by a Metal Sonic one until just recently.
I was so scared of those pumpkin ghost things as a kid I couldn’t even play this level. It took me a long time to beat it lmao
The upside down theme is strangely creepy for a sonic game.
i always wondered to myself did eggman built this place? or was it already there and eggman discovered it and set up one of his bases there putting his own imaginary there over already existing architecture that shares similarities to one's found in pumpkin hill by what ever race lived there?
I think, that everyone of us tried to get to starting tower, where sonic ran at the starting of the level :)
When it was upside down, that was their chance to go to that *big* moon.
I thougth we gonna hear Knuckles saying "What the... A ghost?" or "That ghost is kinda familiar"
God job!
Imagine what it would be like if this level music was reversed when the castle is flipped!
Eugh Tails' voice in this is cancer-inducing
God it’s like looking at my childhood
0:26
tails,you shouldn't be out fighting eggman if you think there's a ghost of shadow...oh grow up!
Kenzie Sky lol
I laughed to that part when tails got scared when knuckles said maybe its the ghost of shadow we saw earlier 🤣 poor knuckles messing with tails just to scare him
This level feels like a liminal space.
What the? What happened? We've turned upside down!
Ugh! We're upside down again! Actually, we're right side up.
0:24 Nice reference to the Sonic adventure 2 ending
I’ve played this game my entire life
God bless Ryan Drummond!
The song is my favourite part
