…tie with Sonic 3’s circus zone and S and K’s Sandopolis

if you never played it…

GG sonic’s should not even count because you could hardly see what you where running in to (sonic 2’s crab boss…fail)

crown goes to sonic 2006…its not possible for me to finish it

well I wonder whats next for sonic besides him competing with mario in the winter olympics

The circus zone isn’t even REMOTELY hard unless you’re Knuckles AND you go through the Sonic and Tails path, forcing Knuckles to fight a boss that was NOT designed for him.

Carnival Night was only hard for 2 particular reasons. 1 being that room in I believe Act 1 that the only way you could get out of was jumping on the red and white drum and see saw up and down with the control pad. There was no indication that that was what you were supposed to do and I’ve died many of times just in that room alone in frustration until I found out the simple solution. 2 being that Carnival Night zone is LOOONNNGGG…I think it’s the longest stage in S3 and I actually got lost in that stage way back trying to go through it and actually getting hit with ‘Time Up’ death in that zone. That’s the only Zone I’ve ever had where on my few tries I had trouble gettnig to the end and beating the boss within the 10 min time limit. That was about it…once you figured out the layout of the level though it became much easier of course.

Edit:

I’d also like to add that playing through s3 & k with Knux was a bit more difficult than playing through it Sonic and/or Tails. Echidnas can climb and glide but apparently they can’t jump very well.

Oh yeah…and a lot of the bosses treated Knux differently than Sonic or Tails as well. One good example being the Sky Battery Zone act 2 boss. He’d have a constant fire billowing out of the top periodically instead of just when he was hanging and you happened to jump in between his spiked hands like when you’re playing with sonic. Even blowing the fire over the top when he was making himself vulnerable so as not allow you to just jump on his head all day.

not really hard, but i felt the Sonic 3 portions of S3+K were a bit too excessively long. In particular marble garden or whatever it was. S+K was perfect IMO, not too long and not too short.

Marble Garden was long and wore out its welcome something awful, but you gotta admit it was pretty detailed and varied.

Stuck here for years back when this game came out. Don’t think i ever learned the solution till i was around 14 and started using the Internet. I have no idea how the fuck you where supposed to figure this out and only being what…10?

I hate Metropolis Sonic 2, it’s too freaking long and you have to memorize and time it to dodge some enemy attacks and heck sometimes you just CAN’T.

I hate Oil Ocean myself. It’s too slow and methodical. To many spikes and falls that fell into the ocean. It’s the slowest damn level in the whole game.

Mantis and Crab fist enemies were a bitch! They were well placed and hard to get around so much so that often you’d be in the middle of doing something and getting socked by something.

Marble Garden was one of the worst levels in the game. Worse than sandopolis.

Awww I think Marble Garden’s pretty cool. It’s got a good selection paths has good speed sections and good music. Boss fuckin sucks though.

Now, what was so bad about Sandopolis? The second Act?

I never made it through the Knuckles path with Tails in Sandopolis Act 2.

The thing about Sonic (3) & Knuckles is that Knuckles has a harder time… until around Sandopolis Act 2 or so. That’s where I found the Sonic and Tails levels getting more difficult. Granted, they both have to deal with Death Egg whereas Knuckles has the painfully easy Metal Sonic boss fight.

Tell me about it:looney:
If I ever see a vid of someone beating all 3 Acts of that WITHOUT losing rings or die-ing, then I will :pray:*30 for that dude.

$eG@:

WHOA WHOA WHOA…@ that scene with Chris lmao. PINGAS!

Yes, I hated it. Sandopolis music act 1 and 2 was pimp though.

But I’d rather play that than Marble Garden. Marble Garden is a sedative disguised as a Sonic level.

:rofl: @ the different versions of Sonic in bed and the Knuckles rap dance.

Yea, Metropolis is easily the toughest level period of the 2D Sonic games (Excluding the GG ones). Starfish enemies were the worst enemies around oh and the last part of it where you had to ride the platform to Robotnik, can’t believe how many times I ran off that and died…><

Challenge: beat the Metropolis Zone boss with ZERO rings (aka enter the fight with zero)… with KNUCKLES.

Have fun. :badboy:

anyone know if they will bring back a new sonic game with VS mode like the old platform style in HD ? ?

I LOVED IT .
