He make what he wanted in this game: EggmanLand.

Better and harder than bowsers castle

Bowser’s Castle is a joke compared to Eggman-land

Bowser could only dream of making it this hard for mario

Eggman’s paradise would be a place that would be hell for Sonic to navigate

​@ItsNaylen srb2 castle eggman is harder and that's zone 4

It took my couple days to finish the level goddamn game itself is already hard but with this level the game's difficulty level becomes 9000 and that was just the ps2 version!

Um, check your numbers again, this stage takes like 40-60 min to complete

40-60? it took me a week

@@jacketoff_f just wait until you got that werehog thing that just messes up in act 3(i still cant past it)

​@@jacketoff_fI still haven't completed it after all of these years on the HD version but the Wii version is WAY EASIER

this is the only moment eggman actually got *ALL SISTEMS, FULL POWER!*

@Kemuels animations true, but it didn't seem as grand, through all the older Sonic games, he talks about eggman land and he finally got it

Kemuels animations no

I don't know about Amazing stages and the story is just a rehash of Sonic Adventure's

@@nazarenomercado483 lol

Agreed on the soundtrack this is my favorite daytime music tied with cool edge day

VO1D Snipes Yes it is and if you don't like it why are you here lol?

On wii with the nunchucks yes it was

God i spent so long trying to get the s rank on ps2 Gave me a hard time but i did it after a while

I loved this level because it was hard. It made me happy the final level was actually hard. its something devs are hesitent to do, due to casuals, but even a casual can do it with enough practice.

I hate jungle joyride day act 3 worst level in the game besides eggmanland but I love night act 1 of this stage the music is so good

And also dark gaia is very hard still havent beaten it years after I first tried it

@@iceicicle3046 at one point the frames just drop and its so annoying

@@stingrayxd5149 the frames dont drop for me I just find the boss really hard

My final time on this stage was 71 minutes

hardest stage of the Sonic franchise? Now, I would absolutely would give it to Eggmanland, but the one that really takes the cake in my opinion is Showdown from Sonic Spinball. (In fact might as well give the entire game that rank.) But, it doesn't matter since both hold the same thematic, which is 'Robotnik has created this place, it shouldn't exist, and Sonic have to take it down before something REALLY bad happens'.

@@smileyfaceproductions7477 Sonic Spinball's hardest stage has to be the option menu music though

@@jenjenparibou3995 lMFAO

@@smileyfaceproductions7477 A few Sonic games have that idea actually. S1 has Scrap Brain S2 has Metropolis S3&K has Death Egg Even Forces has Imperial Tower / Mortar Canyon / Final Judgement (We don't talk about Iron Fortress)

Oh I agree with you it does feel like a heist or break in to recover the emerald guns blazing style. Though it doesn’t make the werehogs game design any better

+respect i don t finish it the hotdog man

I finished Eggman land without dying and no hot dog missions. That S rank is the hardest part.

You mean salty spitoon of spongebob?

@@Reverse_Spider_Parker noooooo, the salty spittoon from dragon ball

me too

The fact that this level is hard also makes it all the more satisfying to S rank, especially after beating up 3 titans at the end in a row. The fact of the matter is, getting to see a results screen at the end pop up that says you beat the level in 25 minutes and an S rank is one of the best feelings ever. The art design and graphics of this level are also amazing, very fitting that a stage called Eggmanland is this hard and also this fun.

I'd say this level even has a bit of something that someone would like regardless of difficulty. As a young kid (about 10-12?) i had issues coping with fast regular sonic and not slipping to my death at high speed areas, fortunately this level isn't too frequent with those so i didn't struggle too badly. I specialised in Werehog mode however and had done excessive amounts of xp grinding for abilities and learning new and experimental combos. I didn't even use the Guard feature for defence, i worked faster and sought to interrupt enemies more often but leave chances to move out, then grab hold of a straggler or group and pound them to stagger them. Only part i had issues that i distinctly remember today is those jank camera +pipe tightroping sections. Camera was bad without a doubt, but at least managable. Anyone who favours one playstyle over the other would have their moments of satisfaction in the level. In fact the level took so long that the time blended together in my head. I just kept going and kept progressing even through trial and error, and more challenges kept coming. Eggmanland really is a park: there's all kinds of content for different people to enjoy (and suffer by).

I’d even put final fortress from heroes on that list too

Ah yes, quick time events, the peak good level design

This is what I've been saying, it gives you a feeling of accomplishment once you beat the game that's just unexplainable

The closest eggman came to winning

Justin Seang, that does sound like Eggman creating Disneyland. Disneyland: The happiest place on earth Eggman Land: the deadliest place on earth.

@@supra0026 What about Sonic Forces?.. Oh wait that game sucks.

So...he finally did it...the fat bastard finally made his dream goal a reality.

@@dereknight861 almost it wasn't finished

Yes

True

Even calling himself Eggman is a bit weird.

Probably some childhood thing. Making the world into his "Eggmanland" has always been his brainchild and one of his ultimate goals in this evil schemes. I'd like Sega to explore more of Dr. Eggman's history.

MelodiousBlitz​ I always thought he hates the world because of what happened to his grandfather. He did say he wanted to be "just like him". Clearly he changed his mind.

Dreamland Kirby That's a good point. But if you look back even as far as the first game, the manual will describe how Dr. Ivo Robotnik (nicknamed Dr. Eggman) wanted to rule the world via animal-turned-robots and his Death Egg to ultimately make the world into "Eggmanland", a world made in his image and under his full control. His grandfather is a whole other aspect of lore that's extremely interesting, but may be a bit separate from Eggman now. I think at the end of Adventure 2 Eggman mentioned something about renouncing his grandfather's plans and motives.

MelodiousBlitz No I'm saying that could be his reasoning for wanting to rule the world and make Robotnikland (now Eggmanland). He also seems to hate nature. I have a theory that the new sonic game in 2017 will take place in a world ruled by Eggman. The trailer seems to suggest it.

playing lottery and being good at a video game is quite different

@@sourcesauce i don't see the difference between being a lucky bastard

@@sourcesauce considering how broken this game can be at times, a lot of it is about luck. The physics in this game are extremely inconsistent.

Bruh I s ranked it while getting 17 mins without dying I used up all of my luck bruh

It's fairly easy to pull off actually. Don't die and don't get hit as modern sonic. The rest takes care of itself

I thought it was crimson carnival too, but if you go to eggmanland after playing it, I realized that it´s actually called Eggmanland. If you stand up in the level platform It won´t say the level, like in the case of any other level (for example: Apotos is Windmill Isle and Empire City is Skyscraper Scamper) but in this case, the village has the same name of the level.

Abigdummy4life Fitting, since you DIE SO MANY TIMES!

In the Japanese version, the Action Stage is subtitled "Crimson Carnival"

It's stained with the blood of it's players!

The place is called eggmanland the song is called crimson carnival

Beating one continent (Day, Night, cutscenes, hub, boss) is longer than half of the playtime of current Sonic games (Meta era)

Sonic frontiers sounds phenomenal

@@motivated_stoner_420 it was a meh. felt too easy

@@patrickoobes Oh I dont know maybe because there isn't a life system in a Open world game '-'

@Zenith levels could be harder and bosses could be harder. The fact that its open world doesn't matter

I... wouldn't say the best, but the hardest.

For me Scrap Brain is the best final stage.

@@andrewsmatheusdelima7654 it is underrated btw

Respectable opinion, though I'm more of a Final Rush and Titanic Monarch kind of guy.

The great era for sonic

oh yeah, this has been my favorite level in any sonic game. and considering that this is literally my favorite game ever, eggmanland is my favorite part of any game

I want a Sonic game where every level is as difficult as Eggmanland

I believe that’s called “Sonic Frontiers: The Final Horizon”.

Yeah i don't think the hate comes from the design more just the difficulty However I played recently and didn't struggle nearly as much as I did when I was younger albeit Werehog sections were a ballache

@@creamymemus9781 In my opinion, I prefer when Sega give us hard level like this one. Now we have easy level cleared in 30sec (Sonic Forces :( )

I don't think most people actually hate it. They just say that as a way to express how hard it was for them. I honestly loved this level and the DAYS I spent trying to get that S rank, even if at the time I'd have claimed to "hate" it in frustration.

@@dx77hyper I understand, I actually found the challenge one of the best parts of the level.

@@xXthevenomousXx Ironically, I got an S rank on my first try. I still have no idea how I did it....

Indeed. A good balance between both play styles, great environment and atmosphere, fun set pieces and an overall amazing send-off as the final level of the game.

@@ge789 I completly agree with that. This level is kinda like a "put everything you learnt" into a giant and fun level!

One of my favorite Sonic levels. It is utterly shameless lol

ZabuGD ` Me I'm still trying to process it

@Brandon The Braineater I can help you out. I would play Eggman Land a million times rather than watch Sonic X.

@Brandon The Braineater and it's on xbox one x with no more frame drops.

I only got 10

Weeb

okay, it's not THAT hard, i only had like 80 something lives and beat both eggmanland AND all the bosses after and ended with around 10. not even a single game over, sure it's a lot of lives but still no game overs. in fact, i never got a game over at ANY point. even before my main attempt, it was a new save file.

Oh god it's even worse on Xbox

If you got a S rank in blind, first run. Then you're a god among the gods

@@andile-blazermakhanya2047 the best i did was beating eggmanland on my first try entering it with only 7 lifes, but i dint get a S rank and i died a lot (theres more lifes on eggmanland)

I got S on The stage itself and i beat every dog level... Young me was a masochist.

Most Sonic fans can never be satisfied sadly

​@@SMD965OFFICIAL quite frankly, that's just a truth to human nature, there's always gonna be something we want

Honestly, I think this is the best boost formula game, and I've only played the Wii version. I'm gonna specifically point out the HD version despite never playing it, though. There's genuine challenge! Generations hardly challenged me at all, same with Colors. And Forces... well, I don't really give a fuck about Forces.

If you want to S rank this stage, you can get it pretty easily even if you die and respawn in the second part of the boiler room, but you can probably S rank the level after dying a lot later because you can get an A rank from the last checkpoint

@@CuriousGuy_ I haven't played this game in a while but I think I did this last time and finally got an S rank.

@@onetrueronin Congrats then, and If you haven't I definitely recommend you try going for it, personally I didn't find it particularly hard but it's just extremely satisfying to do, especially after beating up 3 titans in a row by the ending

If you relpay the level and make it to 14 minutes, you'll get that S rank.

Pikapower That shit was hard as FUCK!!!! It took me 5 months to actually get pass it

Pikapower really what was the point of that mission? It took me 50 lives to beat the level with a B rank and they'd expect me to beat it AGAIN on a time limit without checkpoints?

The Wii version is easy as hell in comparison to HD.

@@SuperMSL to complete? Yes. To S Rank? No.

@@tl1882 the Wii version is easier to complete but much harder to S Rank.

@@TinySpiny Are we just comparing Eggmanland specifically? If that's so, I would still disagree. S ranking any stage in Wii is really not that hard.

@Vybz It's frustratingly hard if you do it legitimately, but if you speedrun Eggmanland, it's WAY easier and shorter, it took me 12-14 minutes to beat it just by speedrunning the stage.

Is this Geometry dash reference?

Exactly, my brother.

Holy shit, I've never noticed that but you're right.

Ironically Sonic Unleashed uses a sample from the final boss of Zero Gravity in the Werehog Boss theme too. I like to think of Unleashed as the Sister game of Zero gravity in terms of music c:

This is my magnificent empire, made possible through my genius and the limitless energy harnessed from Dark Gaia!

Ahh ha ha ha ha haaa! Surprised? Yes, of course you are! Sonic! If you have any complaints, come deliver them to me in person. If you can, that is! Ahh ha ha ha haa.. ...ha-HACK! Hwaugh, koff! Whew...

To be fair, they were about the same length in total to the HD version's main stage. At least if you got a game over during Eggmanland in the SD version, it was split up so you could actually try again from the last level you were at.

@@InsaneEnergy Also there was only like 5-6 minutes of day gameplay even before you work it down.

Fuck! Why did you remind me of that?! I played the Wii version!
