Stop teasing people and give us Sonic Advance 3 already. Also, Tails isn't dead at the end of the game.
How?
@@Lucienx07 If you complete the game with all emeralds, they're both in the sky, yet they're clearly alive.
@@redhotsonic But then what happened to Tails?
@@retrohero64butonhisphone80 what did happen to him then?
Guys just don't believe what the internet says
I'm remaking this game! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the... Game gear version? Oh god.
I checked it out it looked cool!
Are you the one doing the remake I showed in this video?
@@Garrulous64 nope this guy's remake version is different
Link, plz?
I haven't sat down to watch yet, but no, though I am aware of the android remake during my research, which also looks cool with all the new features being added. I decided to make my own version because I've always wanted to, it's the first game I played as a child and I love to draw. I'm starting university this year studying animation, and this is my passion project, and Im treating this as my rite of passage. Thank you for the kind words, I'm flattered. Hitting a creative block but hearing strangers say it actually looks good raises my spirits :) also I've never made a game before
Playing this game on an actual Game Gear is so...so much worse. The first boss is nearly impossible due to the blurry screen of the Game Gear
I'm glad i didn't have to experience that.
This kind of video has helped me. I’ve never even got to beat it as a kid, till I’ve got to see a video like this years ago:
th-cam.com/video/TS1dMfQL12U/w-d-xo.html
No you are wrong that game is the best and if you say it’s bad one more time I’ll make TH-cam take the comment down
@@allaboutmason9067 you must be a joy to have at parties
I had Triple Trouble before this game and while that had its moments of being difficult, the first boss made me hate this game and I never beat it. Watching this review I think I only ever made it to Green Hills.
this game is by far one of the most common game gear games, ever retro store has like 3-5 of them in stock, so like EVERY game gear owner has played it.
and probably wishes they hadn't.
I had a game gear and didn't have sonic 2.
At 2:11, "Tails is the princess peach of this game" had me lol so hard XD
It's like even Sonic doesn't want to play when goes on a slope.
I feel like most of us got to the first boss in the game gear version and rage quit because of how hard it was due to the tiny ass screen and wonky physics making it near impossible to consistently dodge the cannonballs.
T a i l s I s P i s s e d
So your talking about a Game Gear Micro right? Of cource you are talking about that cause that thing has a tiny ass screen.
It is possible, it requires some technique but nothing compared to surviving 5min in Fortnite nowadays.
Lol, that boss was easy, you don't have to move in that part, literally just jump in place.
Alright now everybody be patient the sonic advance 3 review will come out next week we can trust garrulous64 on that
That M64 painting thing at 0:51 makes me think of something: getting the Star on the Island in Bomb-omb Battle Field with the Sky High Hang glider oh god.
N O
Sonic 2 8bit bosses in a nutshell: If i am going down ur going down with me
Sonic: *falls into a fire pit*
Eggman: Oh no my arch nemesis that I’ve been trying to get rid off for ages and is one of the only reasons why my plans keep failing I must save him!
10/10 300 IQ
He doesn't want the terrain to kill him, he wants him or one of his robots.
Sonic also is supposed to have an emerald on him, so Robotnik probably wouldn't want to fish that out afterwards anyways.
I've gotten bit by an antlion before and can confirm, is not a fella.
Antlions are worse than nuclear bombs:
*Change My Mind*
My ‘Question of the Day’ answer:
There’s so many good songs from the sonic the hedgehog series to choose, but if I absolutely had to choose I would go with “Live & Learn.”
I would choose city escape the
I am so thankful that the Master system version exists because it makes the game so much easier.
that and save states on the 3ds VC.
The robot sonic's name is Carl can't believe you forgot that smh
Wasn't its name Charles
It was clearly Chris
nah his name is B O B
It was Jeff
No. It’s Charley.
7:05 that seal took it like a boss!
QOTD: Either the act 2 boss theme from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, or Ruby Illusions from Sonic Mania.
EDIT: I just listened to Escape From the City from Sonic Adventure 2, and now, it's stuck in my head as well.
The concept for Scrambled Egg Zone is neat and unique, and I understand why a mostly tube based level got made. The execution is where some problems arise. It has two problems: nearly every path but the correct one punishes you, and the screen crunch that affects the entire game. I like the concept and enjoyed the zone, but was disappointed with it often being the case that only 1 correct route to avoids punishment. Tubes only send you back to make the correct choice, or choices, not back to the level beginning so you're not as lost as you might think. You just have to get to the top of the level.
*Next week*
Garrulous: Let’s play Sonic X on the Leapster!
At this rate we're gonna get a Sonic Advance 4 review before number 3.
That'd be really funny actually, but nah it's out next week.
Thanks for introducing me to the GG remakes, I installed them last night and had a blast
Really nice video Dylan :) However as a beta tester of the Sonic 2 SMS Remake (the Remake you showcased here) I would like to add some information to it :)
- Shadow has a jump dash that
- Metal Sonic losed his ability of horizontal momentum but keeps his flight vertical ability
- New zones added such as Oil Ocean Zone (dont worry this version is awesome) and Time Hill Zone (a reimagining of Green Hills that leads to a Sky Chase level)
- Special Stages added similar to the first game but now with Beta Casino Night aspect and new gimmicks
- Multiplayer (coming soon)
And much more!
You can see currently a full playthrough of the latest beta on this channel approved by the creator of this Remake project and next week a Special Stages run :)
In case you want to use any footage of those feel free to do it!
4:00 Along with that "knows exactly where they are" remark, it's also extremely notable that when this game was new, *online video game walkthroughs didn't exist yet* (or if they did, they weren't really a common enough thing for _me_ to know they existed anyway). If you didn't hear through the grapevine where those dang gems were from your friends, and/or spend ridiculous hours searching for yourself, *you couldn't just "look it up online."*
I did eventually look up the emerald locations online before I ever saw the good ending, but that was _years later in the late 90's,_ where you had to follow complicated text descriptions instructing you what to do because video walkthroughs that _show you_ what to do _still_ weren't a thing yet.
-Just imagine me waving a cane in the air while I'm ranting why don't you.- =^p
12:14 You know what's creepy is _I came to that realization too_ the first time I saw that ending.
Great review and honestly I can't blame you for using cheats to beat this game. I'm surprised you didn't mention the horrible hang glider in sky high zone. Took me way too long to figure out how to use it. Have you tried Tails Adventure? Pretty good game and one of my favorite classic games.
I might check that out. Not sure yet.
@@Garrulous64 Ok. If you do decide to play it I have to warn you, its one of the more unique sonic games as it tries something completely different. I'm guessing thats why people don't talk about it much.
Late but the game gear version is actually buffed. They added slightly more enemies to levels and made boss patterns harder and more random.
Lol i love this game... It was my first one. It's hard as hell though.
Favorite Sonic song: Flying Battery Zone act 2.
Ah that nostalgia hit hearing the gameboy startup...
Can't wait for him to hit us with that Tails Adventure review lol.
Oh! So that's where the green hills stage in Sonic Network World came from
My favorite Sonic song is The Light of Hope from Sonic Forces. Also, I like to imagine that Tails went on some adventures with Sonic before getting captured by Eggman.
I like this game and once you get the hang of it, it’s not that hard. It’s clear that the camera is the biggest enemy in the game. I mostly like it because I like the levels and music
Fun fact: green hills zone's name was reused in the sonic movie ( without the word zone )
QotD: This is a hard one. One of the songs I like is Believe in Myself because I find it very inspiring. I also love listening to Open Your Heart, but I got to choose Rooftop Run (the Modern version).
I saw sonic heroes in the trash can 😅
I actually like the Game Gear version... Probably because I memorized it so much when I was a kid, and the payoff to get the good ending was pretty sweet. The SMS version feels like more of a prototype, too.
The way the opening of this video start, remind’s me of SupeSonicBoom review’s opening.
01:07
Tails:walking peacefully in beta master system green hills.
Sonic and Eggman/Robotnik(whatever you wanna call him): IT'S TIME TO REVEAL THAT BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When he didn't do sonic advance 3 "mission failed will get him next time
My favorite Sonic song is tied between Green Hill Zone Act 1, Windy Hill Zone Act 1, and Fist Bump (Escape From Null Space).
Fun fact: “Silver Mecha Metal Robo Sonic” is actually Bionic Sonic according to a tip card on fighting him
I love the Sonic colors soundtrack
This game beat me down so many times by the time you’ve beat it you’ve mastered it
Sonic Advance 3 review not yet is by now this channel's running gag
The gag is over as of yesterday.
For the QOTD, my favorite songs are the Blue World Prelude by Bentley Jones, the cool remix of His World by Crush 40, and Sweet Dream by Dreams Come True.
Fun Fact: While the bubble gimmick is originally from Sonic 2 on the Game Gear, the actual sprite Mania uses is from Sonic Triple Trouble, also on Game Gear: Facing forward with legs somewhat spread, hands pressed against the front of the bubble, and looking somewhat concerned.
10:08 I've had one of _those_ discussions before. >_>
Btw, I don't think he canonically had a name yet. Despite what the wikis all claim, *I think official lore-wise it has technically always been different models of the same "Metal Sonic" (or "Mecha Sonic" if you're Japanese) from 8-bit to Sonic 2 to S3&K to Sonic CD to Sonic Heroes.*
The best Frame i have ever paused on 1:04
Lol
Sounds like you haven't seen some of the smear frames from AoSTH. =^p
You should play tails adventure on the game gear.
At least Scrambled Egg Zone has a banger of a level theme.
Someone said this about _Sonic Forces,_ but I honestly agree that it applies to a lot of Sonic games (including this one):
*"Yet another Sonic game where the fans can all agree 'well at least the music is really good'."*
I don't mind if Sonic Advance 3 is reviewed, the content is still great all the same
Good. He has all the GBA Pokemon games
The cool thing is they're even making a remake of Sonic THREE on the Game Gear, even though it wasn't even ported to the system.
My favorite sonic song? Metallic Madness Act 2 (Sonic Mania)
I think the adventure songs are pretty nice. I think my fav would be live and learn ofc
At this point I'd rather garrulous keep the meme of not reviewing somic advanced 3 going for as long as he can
There would be a full-scale revolt
Too late for that, i'm afraid. I'm serious about next week.
0:25 at this point, we should make The Sonic 2 Game Gear Intro the New Ronaldinho Soccer Meme-
when the sa3 review actually comes out no one will see it because their minds would implode first.
My fav song is the green hi zone from the first game ever in sonic franchise it is so classic
I do believe I hear a little bit of the beta themes for Ice Cap Zone when hearing Crystal Egg Zone
That's my second Sonic game EVER
Favourite sonic song is definitely Open Your Heart by Crush 40 - theme of SA1
Sonic 2 was the Game Gear Sonic I went to first. Its infamous reputation for being one of the most difficult Sonic games led me to try my hand at it. It's a rough ride, to say the least. But even though this game has some of the worst design in the series, I still like it, and have beaten it several times.
I compare Crystal Egg Zone to World 9 from the Famicom version of Mario Lost Levels. A very strange, dreamlike world that makes you feel like you've uncovered something special. Both are unlocked by great feats, and neither is particularly difficult.
Favorite Song is Angel Island Act 1
And Act 2 from Sonic 3&Knuckles/Sonic Mania Plus
Heres My Review:
Introduction:
Video games have had many great ones, but 8-bit Sonic 2 is special. People have loved it for a long time, and we'll see why in this essay. We'll explore why it's a standout in the Sonic games and retro gaming in general.
The Gameplay: Sonic's Adventures
The game's gameplay is the star. When you start playing, you feel Sonic's speed and fun right away. The controls are easy, so you can guide Sonic through different places, like Green Hills or Metropolis Zone.
A cool thing is that Sonic has a buddy, Tails. You can even have a friend control Tails. It makes the game more exciting when you play together.
Each level is unique and has its own challenges. Whether you're avoiding traps in Hill Top Zone or exploring Aqua Lake Zone underwater, there's always something new.
The Music: Tunes that Stick
The music in 8-bit Sonic 2 is memorable. Yuzo Koshiro did an amazing job with the soundtrack. The music fits perfectly with the game and makes it even better. You'll remember tunes from Green Hills Zone and Gimmick Mountain Zone.
One tune that stands out is the invincibility theme. It amps up your excitement as Sonic becomes super powerful. It shows how music in games can make a big impact.
The Endings: Tails, Forces, and Surprises
A cool thing about 8-bit Sonic 2 is it has different endings. There's a good one and a bad one, and the bad one connects to other Sonic stories, like Sonic Forces.
In the bad ending, something sad happens to Tails, and it affects the Sonic universe. This unexpected twist makes players think about what they did and what could happen next. It adds depth to the story and gets players talking.
The Legacy: Still Loved Today
People still love 8-bit Sonic 2 even years after it came out. It's been re-released on different systems, so new players can enjoy it too. Fans have made their own stuff, like changing the game or creating fan art. It shows how important the game is to the gaming world.
In the world of retro gaming, 8-bit Sonic 2 is proof of how creative and cool games were back then. It's a reference point for game designers and fans, reminding us of the fun in simpler times.
Conclusion
To sum it up, 8-bit Sonic 2 is an old-school gaming masterpiece. Its exciting gameplay, unforgettable music, and surprising endings make it a favorite worldwide. It's proof that great games, like great stories, can stick around and leave a mark on the gaming world.
Tails was pretty much confirmed dead in the bad ending. During the sonc song thingy the sonic the hedgehog official channel said rip tails when that star tails appeared
Note: comparisons with Sonic 1 8-bit don't mean quite as much as you may think, since that was outsourced to Ancient while this & future 8-bit Sonic games were outsourced to Aspect instead. Not the same devs.
We have been cheated, lied to, and quit possibly bamboozled
In my head canon: this takes place before the genesis sonic 2 shows how tails meets sonic. and it gives tails an arc to become a hero and it concludes when helps sonic take down the death egg in the genesis version and it takes place on the island little planet appeared over in sonic cd with green hills zone being the grassy plains from the opening of sonic cd which is later roboticized in sonic chaos when Sonic and Tails try Eggman from turning the island into his new headquarters after Sonic 3 and Knuckles so he can prepare for the return of little planet in a few days.
For the qotd, it's Endless possibilty from Unleashed
My favourite music is the game gear boss battel theme
I'm surprised you didn't hate on the vehicles, figuring out how they control is half the 'challenge' in this game
Starting with a more intense Zone is the one thing I remember about this game, it seems like a really cool idea honestly...
Open your heart is probably my favorite. But it could be a bunch of others, I'm not sure
sonic 2 game gear is one of those games that can be used as an example of "screen crunch"
5:50 I don't recall the water level looking like that on the original Game Gear screen so I suspect it just looks bad on an emulator and viewed through a modern LCD display.
Can not wait for advance 3
tbh I grew up on the Sonic 2 Game Gear version And the sonic game gear titles and the genesis titles
I got those games When i was 10
When my parents Gave me a
game gear with the sonic titles
and the genesis with the sonic genesis titles as well.
Ah Scottronic my favorite youtuber
Who knew Ganon would be revived in Sonic Chaos!
I can see SA3 next. It's not like you're gonna wind up getting your hands on Sonic Colors DS, Sonic Generations 3DS, or Sonic Lost World 3DS (or the Sonic Boom 3DS duology).
Scrambled Egg zone is awesome and easy. Worst parts are Underground 3 boss and Aqua Lake 2 (drowning). Sky High 2 you need to keep up the momentum to hit the hidden springs
My favorite sonic song is "Open your heart" from Sonic Adventure.
Favorite Sonic Song?
Probably either Stardust Speedway Act 2 or Metallic Madness Act 2 (both being from Mania)
From now 9n, just start with the less evil version
I guarantee you your opinion on this game would of been 12% better if you started with master system
My favourite sonic song is we can show the world what we can do you are next to me and I’m next to you pushing on through until the battle’s won no one’s gonna give a thing to us into each other we put our trust standing united after the fight from sonic forces
My Favorite Song is GreenFlower Zone 2 From Sonic Robo Blast 2
My favourite songs of the sonic is: all song in green hill zone of sonic generations, chemical plant zone in sonic manía, star Light zone in sonic 1, hydrocity zone in sonic 3, labirint zone in sonic 1, mas metal sonic in sonic generations, all Seaside hill of Sonic generations and Titanic mornach zone act 2 in sonic manía.
I didn't beat Sonic 2 for the game gear until like...1997 or 1998, and I had gotten it for Christmas along with a Game Gear in 1992. And I think I ended up using a level select code from Tips and Tricks because I lost my patience with the game.
My fave sonic song has to be hands down act 1 of aquarium park
10:32 i guess it's sort of a deteriorated dream that of which is nearly just the void with an imaginary stage. Confused yet?
The bad ending - tails dies
The good ending- sonic and tails dies
Kids in the 90’s- oh what the - - - -
9:40 I see sonic heroes in the trash and I agree
Knight of the wind from Sonic and the black knight
9:40 SONIC HEROES IS IN THE TRASH
Aqua Lake Zone.... yes, lakes do indeed have aqua...
sonic 2 was the first ever sonic game i had xd. couldnt get past the first zone because i didnt understand how to do the boss.
and yes i was young
Qotd answer:
Either Open your Heart, or Ice mountain in TSR
Thats a hard question dude alot of sonic music rocks
The Only thing that’s well in Scrambled Egg is it’s music
