this title is so funny to me considering that Hydrocity is basically the best water level in the series, as it rewards you for playing well by keeping you above the water as long as possible. I think aquatic ruin from sonic 2 is also pretty good about this
I would like to add instructions on some of the movement actions, if that's okay. You did figure most of it out (regardless of chat lol) but I feel like this might clear some things up. If that counts as needless backseating, just ignore this comment! You are doing great Marco!! Note that the side-directional buttons have no effect on any of these! Spin-dash: While standing still, hold down-directional, and TAP the jump button repeatedly (the more you tap before letting go, the bigger the boost!) Drop-dash: While jumping, release, then start HOLDING the jump button again until you land to get an instant speed-boost (useful if you don't have the opportunity to stand still for a normal spindash. Holding down-directional is NOT necessary here) Flying with Tails: Hold up, and then TAP the jump button repeatedly while close by to Tails to grab on. Tapping jump again in the air will make you go up. Hold down and jump to let go immediately.
Don't worry too much about "not being good". Sonic games are notoriously difficult to get into, especially the Classic style games like this since they don't explain anything to you. One little tip: If an enemy has a weak spot near the ground, remember that you can roll (press down while running) to attack enemies. Very useful when an enemy is at an awkward angle for you to jump against. In order to do the drop dash, briefly let go of the jump button in midair, and then hold it down until you touch the ground. The longer you hold, the more it will charge up.
I haven’t watched the stream in its entirety, but if you haven’t figured it out yet: to spin dash just crouch and spam jump. You don’t need to just rev it once. To drop dash while you are in your ball form in the air, hold the jump button until you hit the ground. there’s no timing involved.
Yippie more sonic, now i wait for the day that marco watches the sonic anniversary concert 👀
That would be awesome probably have to wait till next year for that 🥲
I'm imagining your reaction to other Sonic water levels cause Hydrocity is arguably the best and most fun of the water levels.

First half: cranky Marco
Second half: jumpy Marco 😂
1:52:56 The amount of times I’ve said this exact same thing 😂
YEEESSS, I'VE BEEN WAITING!!!
Growing up with the Genesis era Sonic games instilled a deep hatred for water levels
Aw man I missed out getting to see him react to these levels live lmao

After watching the stream I have a creeping suspicion you say "ow" or let out a pained scream whenever your character gets hurt
I really don’t 😂
