    You should've mentioned Chao World Extended. It's an amazing mod that greatly enriches the SA2 chao garden experience.

    Also thank you for standing up for the stories of these two games. Honestly those are my favorites among all Sonic games. There were even a few details about their plots and production that I didn't know about.

    After playing with the physics mod swap with the mech characters, I found that using omega’s physics from heroes instead of Gamma’s from Adventure 1 is a bit better for their level design. With Omega’s physics you keep the higher jump and top speed, but now you retain the slower acceleration from the normal mech characters, making the platforming much easier to manage.

    "shoddy voice work" while pointing to one of David Humphery's most endearing line deliveries.
    How dare. Clearly a man with no taste.
    In all seriousness though, excellent video directing people to solid mods! I feel like most of these really do help streamline the game, and the retranslated mod would be interesting to play through, if only to get at differences in intent. I do see those flaws within the translation used for the final version of the game, though anyone doing so for "shortcomings" in the line deliveries themselves clearly needs to get their ears checked ;)

      I think you are already aware of this, but the animations are made for the DC models so in some ocasions you can find cutscenes were the characters just make weird expresions or the original expresions are lost, because they werent re-animated for the DX models.

    I believe the chao stats going down during your showcase of the Chao Stat Multiplier mod is just the intended function of Animals actually lowering the level bar down in certain cases. They don't actually lower the level or stats, just make leveling up a stat more of a chore if you want to raise a balanced chao. I am of course speaking in normal game means of course, I don't know if the mod actually breaks something about it.

    Very helpful list, thanks. Been trying to look into what mods to install for my Steam versions of SA1 and SA2, and while many recommended "use this set" such as BetterSADX.... they didn't really go into detail of what they did, and I couldn't find a good list of which ones to pick.
    Most people were recommending the "Dreamcast Conversion" mod for SA1.... but that one apparently just turns the Steam version completely into the Dreamcast one, not what I was looking for, I was hoping to use mods to basically put in the best of all the different versions and ports of the game into one, not just completely turn it into a different version.
    This video really helped to pick out what mods to install. Not going to lie, I am not interested in changing the game to be "easier" or essentially cheat like instant dashes or stat increases or the like...... or add in fan/beta content, but all the mods that fix bugs, give better visuals, put back in effects and features that were removed, etc is what I have been looking for.

    NO. Do not use the Skip Credits option. It stops you from getting the emblem at the end of the story, and stops Super Sonic story from unlocking. You have to watch the credits in full to get them. So it's pointless as you'll have to watch via the character select screen anyway.

    The fast somersault is cool but unnecessary. To those who do not know, you can do something called "storage" where if you spin dash right as you are intended to somersault you will maintain, and in some cases increase your overall speed. It's SUPER easy to do, and has a very lenient time frame. I hope I help some of you learn something about my favorite game today.

    I love this video. Purchasing these games and trying out all of these mods was one of my motivations for getting a Steam account and expand from consoles to PC gaming. Interesting tidbit at 3:52; while I love this mod and it makes Light Speed Dash perform more akin to SA2 onwards, for some reason Metal Sonic can’t use Light Speed Dash period which made playing stages like Lost World And Final Egg awkward to play.

    Great video and best starting point for getting into/back into Adventure 1 and 2 in 2020, especially with the description links. Came across this months ago and it hyped me up to get it on PC to try out the mods and experience the games again like how I did back on dreamcast but with the definitive improvements. Also fun finding and trying out other mods. Never realized the modding community was so active for the games. Being able to play as Metal Sonic on any stage with an optional spindash and/or ball bounce mod in SA2 brings me great joy, since he's been my favorite character since I watched the Sonic OVA when I was 5. Linked this to a friend the other day who was wanting to play the Adventure games.

    Another small but essential mod is the Perfect Chaos Music Swap mod. It simply swaps the music used in the 2 part Perfect Chaos fight to make the fight more epic. So part one is all tense and threatning and part 2 will then use the Open Uour heart theme. I always hated how it was originally so this is an awesome mod imo.
    Great video man and its exactly what Im looking for! So many videos claim to list "essential" mods for a game but its really just mods that change the game way too much and takes away from the original experience. Yours however are legit essential and worthwhile improvements. Thanks for this!

It's made by LakeFeperd (the Before and After the sequel guy), and it's heavilly based off the Sonic Adventure formula, while also expanding upon it. Oh and since I know you're wondering, yeah it's got a deep story too. If you haven't played it yet I recommend it, since it will satisfy anyone's thirst for a Sonic game of that scope and scale.
