There are people who got filtered by Mad Space. SAD! PATHETIC! If you wanna know the truth of it
Fuck you, the music popped into my head.
>>12591352The Hero Story had a lot more polish than the Dark Story.Iizuka disliked having 6 separate characters with uneven gameplay content. Sonic has 10 stages, Amy has 3 stages, Big has 4 stages, etc.For SA2 he wanted to create a playlist where Sonic, Tails and Knuckles had even gameplay content with unique stages for the trio >Sonic - City Escape>Knuckles - Wild Canyon>Tails - Prison Lane>Sonic - Metal Harbor >Sonic - Green Forest>Knuckles - Pumpkin Hill>Tails - Mission Street>Knuckles - Aquatic Mine>Tails - Route 101>Sonic - Sky Rail>Tails - Hidden Base>Sonic - Pyramid Cave>Knuckles - Death Chamber>Tails - Eternal Engine>Knuckles - Meteor Herd >Sonic - Crazy Gadget>Sonic - Final Rush

>>12591259and ironically this is the moment where the game really becomes great, it already progressively gets better and better but then you hit this and just blow ur load
>>12591397This was a mistake btw SA1 was perfect
>>12591602I always hated the later stages, specifically starting from Hidden Base / Pyramid Cave, every time I see modern Sonic games I just picture those stages and feel like they were inspired by those specifically when making them.>>12592575This.

>>12591259I think that was one of the one or two emblems I didn't get legit when I played SA2B as a kid.Used Action Replay to cheat in that last emblem so I could see Green Hill Zone, but I think I did the emblem properly afterwards.
The Rouge and Knuckles levels were my favorites, Knuckles was the first character I got all A ranks for as a kid.
>>12591259You got filtered by your mom’s DUI.
>be me, still not very good at reading Japanese >playing SA2 for the first time on Dreamcast >get to mad space>emerald hints are written backwards, only have 3 or 4 seconds to read them and then they disappear permanently >spend the next hour scouring every corner of the level because you couldn’t read the hint fast enough What the actual fuck were they thinking to have the hint only be readable for a few fucking seconds? This was back before smartphones too so it’s not like I could just snap a picture. SA2 has an absolute truckload of horrible retarded design decisions but something like that is the cherry on top of the shit sundae that makes you resent the entire Sonic franchise and all the retards at Sonic Team who wasted your time and tricked you into playing a halfassed garbage sequel to an awesome game. Honestly I even enjoyed Sonic 06 more than this dogshit.
>>12593410they're visible on the pause screen, genius
>>12593443Prove it
>>12593410Like >>12593443 said they're on the pause screen you neanderthal.
>>12593515>from the red light balcony the fallen black contianer>contianerlol
>>12593515That's not in japanese
>>12591259I'm convinced that you are meant to use the monitors to find the shards. I think this because they don't just tell you where they are exactly. They give you clues that require knowledge of the stages to figure out. You get punished for using them but it's still possible to get A ranks.
>>12593725That and the player will eventually figure out all of the spawns for the shards, the game is designed around its replayability. Something of note about the A ranks to add to what you mentioned, it's suspiciously easy to get A ranks except for Security Hall if it's your first time doing the stage, you can waste so many minutes and still get an A no matter the stage.
>>12593929There's like 60 different spawn places, you're definitely not meant to find all of them.
>>12593535The Japanese version came out after the English one by a few days. They are the same, feature-wise.
>>12593515>>12593535>>12594451>The Japanese version came out after the English one by a few days. They are the same, feature-wise.They only difference between SA2 JP and SA2 USA, Dreamcast and GameCube, is the default language. They're the exact same.SA1 has various differences between SA1 JP, SA1 USA, SA1 International, SA1 1.005, SADX, etc
>>12591397It's still uneven, Shadow has only 4 stages.
>>12591259I love SA2, and the treasure hunting stages, but this level is ass. Security hall is her best level, and pumpkin hill is knuckles best.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMsT9om7seE
