    This video is meant to feel like a dream. For Sonic, it's a never-ending nightmare.
    Sonic wants to be free. He wants to stretch his legs. He wants to run. Instead, he spins endlessly. Around and around. Never still. The lights are so bright they burn his skin. So dizzy. All the while, he's being watched. Laughed at. Who's watching? He can't tell. It's all just blurs.
    For this 'Purgatory Hell' video, I prefaced it with a bit more 'story'. It seems this is an old copy of Sonic 3 that someone's had for a long time. Let me know if you like the story element, or if you just want cursed gameplay for the next Purgatory vid.

    what you gotta do is walk into the wall for 30 minutes, eventually the collision will break down and you will fall into a death pit and respawn at the start of the level, this part is actually an anti piracy measure.

    I used to get stuck at this part as a kid all the time. This is what you've gotta do:
    So restart the game and after the SEGA logo appears hit up, up, down, down, up, up, up, up. If done correctly you should hear a chime.
    Then you'll want to select 'Sound Test' on the main menu, and it will take you to the level select screen.
    Select 'Mushroom Hill 1' and grab one of the pull lifts, followed by pressing left, left, left, right, right, right, up, up, up.
    After hearing a ring sound, go back to the level select screen and choose 'Carnival Night 2' while holding the A, B and C buttons.
    You now have access to debug mode which will allow you to place an signpost object and beat the level!!! :)
    I wish they put this in the manual, cuz there's no other way to get past this. :(

    The fact that Mario and Sonics personal Purgatories strip them of their defining traits is terrifying. Mario jumps, so he is sent to a tiny claustrophobic stone cell, where he can only barely move. As for Sonic, he loves to run and be free, so he’s stuck in a tight turning platform that only goes up and down, completely removing running from the equation. Both Mario and Sonic’s Purgatories have one thing in common however, the taunting release of death, just out of reach. This concept of every person in their own personal Purgatory is truly a horrific thought to me.

      But both of their purgatories are paradises if you swapped them around, sonic likes to run right? Well he can run around as much as he wants and if he can’t jump that’s fine since he can still go side to side. Mario likes to jump right? So he can just jump up and down on the barrel as much as he wants and he’s chill with it.

      If you ever do, and you get to these platforms, the honest trick to them is to stand still on them, and then press up and down on the dpad to make it go up and down. requires sometiming on when to switch directions, since it's a oscillating motion.

    At 3:30, the jump is high enough for Sonic to hit not the spikes, but an invisible barrier.
    While it's probably just as simple as a convenience measure taken when making the base mod for this video, I like to interpret it as a way to tell the player that, even if they tried as hard as they could, there was simply no way to free Sonic from his endless torture.

    First you just move up and down right when you start. Then there's a specific spot you have to clip through on the right wall a little bit close to the spike pit. It's very difficult to pull off but you know you did it when Sonic is clipped halfway through the wall. Be careful with the barrel as it can crush you from going up or down when you're trying to clip. After you're in the wall, try to move until you hit some sort of dead end. Feel your way through until you clip out and you're free to go. But you need to beat the stage before time runs out. This stage is very difficult to beat because of how long it takes.

    This is one of the later versions of the game. It's meant to be completed only when plugged into Sonic & Knuckles (it was a way for them to sell more copies). If you do, Knuckles appears on the underside of the barrel and berates Sonic for his hubris. He then quotes several lines from Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' and helps you juggle the barrel all the way up to escape. Then the barrel recoils down and Knuckles is killed on the spikes in a cutscene. He is then lost from both games permanently, but you can go to the next stage.

    It's actually surprisingly easy when you know the trick! All you have to do is set the controller down at the start of the level and don't press anything. Then, you have to think about all the horrible things in you've done in your life and apologize (you have to mean it!). I'm not sure about this part but I think it helps if you say it out loud. If you do this properly the screen will slowly grow brighter and brighter, and once it clears the barrel will be lowered and stopped next to an exit. Hope this helps!
    I never could figure out how to get Mystic Cave Zone in Sonic 2, though. Act 2 just spawns you at the bottom of a spike pit? But Sonic is invincible for some reason?? And where did Tails go?

      at the very end of the barrel video there's a very short cutscene which lasts a few frames that shows the barrel opening, the text "SIN INSIDE" appearing above it, and the silhouette of tails with a red smiley face drawn on his head revealed when the barrel opens, you will have to use the , and . keys to catch it since its very short. this is probably why you can hear the flying noises around the middle of the barrel video, it's tails trying to escape the barrel until he gets too tired and eventually loses oxygen and dies due to the barrel having no holes for air to enter into it

  • @GTkoopa
    @GTkoopa 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    It is actually fairly easy. By falling at the peak of your jump near the top spikes you can have the camera lag behind you. This will allow you to go through the barrel offscreen and land on the spikes below. Be sure to jump when you land on the bottom or you would be stuck between the spikes forever!
    Fun fact, you can use Tails to go offscreen through one way doors to activate them back on the other side. This can break the game as Sonic 3 and Knuckles likes its loading tricks and hides them behind one way doors. At the start of hydrocity zone act 2, go through the crushing wall section but DON'T activate the checkpoint at the beginning. Go to the end of the section until you see the act 2 background. Here use the Tails one way door trick to go back to the previous section and collect the checkpoint. You will notice that the crushing wall is completely gone! By dying here, or using the bonus stage, reloading the act will cause the act 2 background to have a black void instead.

    The solution is descriptively simple.
    It’s like a trampoline.
    You got to have the right timing.
    Drag it to the bottom, then as the barrel reaches the peak of its ascent upward, jump only then. It won’t work if it’s already at the peak, because then the barrel will have stopped and begun descending, removing all of the potential energy you could have used. Think of it like the springs sonic uses all the time.
    The main problem is timing the jump just before the peak, to early and the barrel will just catch up to you, too late and you can’t reach the full height of the jump.
    If it helps, try timing how long it takes for the barrel to move up and down, then base your spring jump on this.

    The team that worked on that level apologised for it. You can look it up on TH-cam, and hear their responses for that level.

    Yeah, this is one of the stages you need to lock on Sonic & Knuckles for.

    You must wait until the timer reaches 20 minutes and 6 secomds from the start of the level; then, one of the wall sections on the right becomes clippable. Go through there, and proceed through the rest of the level.
    There's some signs before the barrel section that hint at this. Plus the "MEPHILES LIVES!" writing that it's impossible to miss.

    Sonic waits in this endless hell of a zone, until he loses all of his lives from starvation. But death just brings him back here again.

    The most horrifying thing was realizing there where spikes above aswell. While a better fate then Mario's, it's still horrific.

    Shadow Knuckles in the bottom left corner at 2:25. That’s it.

    Actually though, the in game barrel section everyone gets stuck on is poor design because it doesn't even show it's working until like the third or fourth time, and Tails' AI jumping can throw you off and make you think that's how it's done
    This is like the *one* area in the game like that too, because every other mechanic remotely close to the barrel is pretty self explanatory, though pace-breaking (like the pulleys in Mushroom Hill or the blocks in Sandopolis)
