    I think Hill top was supposed to be the past version of emerald hill when Sonic 2 was going to have time travel, thats probably why they're so similar

      @@k-leb4671 my theory is that due to a landslide, Emerald hill ( Hill Top ) went right down to the floor, or maybe, due to it's name, Hill Top was originally gonna be right after Emerald Hill, and it's Hill Top as in " Emerald Hill Top "

      You’re right. It supposed to be the past version of Emerald Hill Zone. They team told that some years ago on a show, showing the original maps they created for the game.

    I honestly would’ve put aquatic ruin higher on the list, as making the worst part of a sonic game (a water level) practically optional if you play it right is definitely a good move on their part. Though I do think that the water part included was pretty tedious and bad, so it doesn’t surpass any zone with great alternative paths. But the music was wonderful , it was a generally fast paced level, and the boss fight was decent.

      There they got added in more dynamic ways. Instead of going trough it to be able to get on he higher plataform, without obstacles on the top and enemies on the bottom, mania puts a better twist.
      At the first time you can wait to crush all the spikes or you can skip it doing a risky jump.
      Also, the sections with lava under and enemies above makes it pretty much more challenging and interesting.

    OH I AM SUCH A SONIC FAN! Thanks for the video though I never played Sonic Mania (something that will have to change) What do you think of the Sonic movie that is coming out? Or how Sonic games changed pace in design in the 2000s? Here is my list of zone ratings. I've added a few other zones from the classic Sonic era:
    1) Flying Battery Zone Hands down the best zone and AWESOME music
    2) Scrap Brain Zone Love the difficulty, bass and synth, and zone 1 Blade Runner background
    3) Hydrocity Zone A water level that you can actually enjoy especially in the speedy act 2
    4) Lava Reef Zone Massive zone, very atmospheric music and neat bosses
    5) Tidal Tempest Zone Both Japanese and U.S. music versions are top notch for a change
    6) Metallic Madness Zone Japanese music is excellent and super interesting background art
    7) Wacky Workbench Zone
    Stupid level name but fun level the bad future looks awesome
    8) Ice Cap Zone Iconic arctic zone with memorable hypnotic dance style music
    9) Stardust Speedway Zone Super fast zone with both wonderful Japanese and U.S. tunes
    10) Chemical Plant Zone
    Thick lead keyboards, finger snapping bass line and mega mac!
    11) Casino Night Zone
    So much fun to rack up a high score in the slot machines
    12) Spring Yard Zone Unique level boss and interesting looking badnik enemies
    13) Sky Sanctuary Zone Another synth/keyboard heavy zone with a stylish level design
    14) Mystic Cave Zone DAT BASS!
    15) Techno Base Zone Technological themed zone with gorgeous art direction but the boss....
    16) Music Plant Zone
    Does not fail to deliver on the unique music and art
    17) Death Egg Zone (Sonic S and K)
    Hard zone with the anti gravity, and traps but worth it
    18) Palmtree Panic
    Zone A better alternate Green Hill zone
    19) Aquatic Ruin Zone
    Just stay out of the water and you'll be fine
    20) Sandopolis Zone
    Ghosts, sand, and well placed traps sure to get your attention
    21) Oil Ocean Zone A zone you can't forget with a bottom that is nothing but crude oil
    22) Mushroom Hill Zone Easy and fun intro to Sonic and Knuckles
    23) Emerald Hill Zone Easy and wonderful intro to Sonic 2
    24) The Machine
    A creepy mechanical based pinball stage with a great art direction
    25) Leaf Forest Zone
    Nice way to start out Sonic Advance 2
    26) Hot Crater Zone Sliding along the rails at top speed puts this one on the map
    27) Volcano Valley Zone Reminds me of Lava Reef with the musical change in tone
    28) Quartz Quadrant Zone
    A jubilant zone with a great mix of piano, a accordion, and drums
    29) Wing Fortress Zone Flying Battery before there was a flying battery
    30) All Bonus stages from Sonic 1 thru Sonic and K
    31) Puppet Panic Zone Final stage in Sonic 3D Blast provides a good challenge
    32) Lava Powerhouse Eerie thick guitars in a pinball stage that can boil you alive!
    33) Rusty Ruin Zone Great bass line and fills out for the "ancient ruins" stage
    34) Collision Chaos
    Stick with the Japanese music version in this pinball field
    35) Toxic Caves
    Giant worm heads, green slime and avoid being chomped by a rexxon
    36) Egg Utopia Zone Death Egg version 2.0
    37) Doomsday Zone Fun challenge avoiding the rocks and missiles
    38) Final Zone
    Last boss in Sonic 1 time to feel triumphant!
    39) Marble Garden Zone A LONG zone where it is easy to get well over 200 rings
    40) Star Light Zone
    Easy going elevator like music with lots of death drops in act 1
    41) Angel Island Zone
    Guaranteed to hit at least 5 shields and find 3 secret rings
    42) Showdown Final difficult pinball stage with evil sounding music
    43) Green Hill Zone The opening everyone remembers
    44) Launch Base Zone
    Long ending with three stage boss near the Death Egg
    45) Hill Top Zone Music that makes you feel like your out in the country somewhere.....
    46) Diamond Dust Zone Ice level not on par with Ice Cap Zone
    47) The Final Fight Last stage in Sonic 3D blast
    48) Sky Chase Zone How can Sonic keep his footing on a rocket powered prop driven plane?
    49) Metropolis Zone
    Three acts of a Scrap Brain throw back headache
    50) Carnival Night Zone Another LONG level in Sonic 3 with unoriginal sounding music
    51) Sky Canyon Zone
    Easy to die falling off a ledge in this Sonic Advance zone
    52) Labyrinth zone Everyone knows why this zone is this low
    53) Death Egg zone (Sonic 2) Two bosses, no rings, try to survive!
    54) Hidden Palace (S and K) A extended cut scene not really a "zone"
    55) Marble Zone A bit boring but not the worst zone
    56) Ice Paradise Zone
    Lags far behind the other ice zones, but the boss is a different story
    57) Gene Gadget Zone Not a zone anyone really remembers
    58) Green Grove Zone
    Lackluster start to Sonic 3D Blast
    59) Spring Stadium Zone The worst zone with those annoying slotting spikes

    I feel like my most favorite one in the classics is Casino Night zone, cause i love making a save state there in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 game in a seperate file so i can play with the slots until the level timer runs out. Press Garden and Studiopolis tie with Casino Night zone. I honestly switch between the three depending on my mood.

    I think this turned out to be a pretty well-thought out list. My biggest gripe would be that while the level design for CD Metallic Madness was flawed and even frustrating in places it's the only instance for me where I prefer the original soundtrack to the Mania remixes. I guess I just enjoy Metallic Madness bad future Jp/Eur too much for the jazzy Mania remake to gain much traction for me.

  • @nintony2994
    @nintony2994 ปีที่แล้ว

    While I can agree to some of what you said and it is understandable why its so high up on the list, I will say this about Labyrinth Zone. To a new or casual player, Labyrinth Zone is indeed a tough one to get through as it is really really slow paced and gets even slower when underwater. plus enemys and obstacles in blind spots just waiting to jump out at you and kill you or in the worst places at the worst times. But to someonw who has played these games to Death. It gets really really fun to blast through because I know everything the zone has to offer or hide and know the best route to complete it faster. Hell I'm at the point where I can finish the boss race without a single hit now. I like this zone to some extent but I don't love it as much as the rest on this list
