Stop teasing people and give us Sonic Advance 3 already. Also, Tails isn't dead at the end of the game.

I'm remaking this game! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the... Game gear version? Oh god.

At 2:11, "Tails is the princess peach of this game" had me lol so hard XD

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.

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 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.

Alright now everybody be patient the sonic advance 3 review will come out next week we can trust garrulous64 on that

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

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

Sonic 2 8bit bosses in a nutshell: If i am going down ur going down with me

It's like even Sonic doesn't want to play when goes on a slope.

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've gotten bit by an antlion before and can confirm, is not a fella.

I am so thankful that the Master system version exists because it makes the game so much easier.

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.

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 robot sonic's name is Carl can't believe you forgot that smh

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!

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.

7:05 that seal took it like a boss!

*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.

Late but the game gear version is actually buffed. They added slightly more enemies to levels and made boss patterns harder and more random.

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

Lol i love this game... It was my first one. It's hard as hell though.

12:14 You know what's creepy is _I came to that realization too_ the first time I saw that ending.

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

At this point I'd rather garrulous keep the meme of not reviewing somic advanced 3 going for as long as he can

When he didn't do sonic advance 3 "mission failed will get him next time

Fun fact: green hills zone's name was reused in the sonic movie ( without the word zone )

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.

You should play tails adventure on the game gear.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

I don't mind if Sonic Advance 3 is reviewed, the content is still great all the same

I saw sonic heroes in the trash can 😅

The bad ending - tails dies The good ending- sonic and tails dies Kids in the 90’s- oh what the - - - -

Oh! So that's where the green hills stage in Sonic Network World came from

The best Frame i have ever paused on 1:04

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.

Sonic Advance 3 review not yet is by now this channel's running gag

Can't wait for him to hit us with that Tails Adventure review lol.

I'm surprised you didn't hate on the vehicles, figuring out how they control is half the 'challenge' in this game

We have been cheated, lied to, and quit possibly bamboozled

Favorite Sonic song: Flying Battery Zone act 2.

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).

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.*

At least Scrambled Egg Zone has a banger of a level theme.

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.

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.

Ah that nostalgia hit hearing the gameboy startup...

Fun fact: “Silver Mecha Metal Robo Sonic” is actually Bionic Sonic according to a tip card on fighting him

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.

Good. He has all the GBA Pokemon games

Filthy Casuals: "Dark Souls is the hardest game ever!" People who have survived a trip to hell and back: "Hold my Sonic 2 for the Game Gear."

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.

That's my second Sonic game EVER

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

Starting with a more intense Zone is the one thing I remember about this game, it seems like a really cool idea honestly...

For the qotd, it's Endless possibilty from Unleashed

Sonic advance 3? More like Sonic advance in 3 more weeks.

0:25 at this point, we should make The Sonic 2 Game Gear Intro the New Ronaldinho Soccer Meme-

The way the opening of this video start, remind’s me of SupeSonicBoom review’s opening.

I love the Sonic colors soundtrack

Thanks for introducing me to the GG remakes, I installed them last night and had a blast

sonic 2 game gear is one of those games that can be used as an example of "screen crunch"

You are exactly like Sega when they gave us Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 but then never released 3. I feel like history is repeating itself, but good on you for hyping up Sonic Advance 3.

My favorite sonic song? Metallic Madness Act 2 (Sonic Mania)

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.

when the sa3 review actually comes out no one will see it because their minds would implode first.

My favorite Sonic song is tied between Green Hill Zone Act 1, Windy Hill Zone Act 1, and Fist Bump (Escape From Null Space).

Umpredictable ball physics, annoying slope, screen crunch...UGH! The first boss is IMPOSSIBLE!

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

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.

4:46 Robotnik tries to “rush” you Me: so the game rush? Also me: I like the name Robuttnik

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.

I think the adventure songs are pretty nice. I think my fav would be live and learn ofc

9:40 SONIC HEROES IS IN THE TRASH

This is honestly probably the best 8-bit Sonic game. I understand a lot of people hate it because of the difficulty but I've been able to get the good ending in The Game gear version even though it took some practice. This game may have some flaws but it's got so much creativity going for it that for me it really sets itself apart from the others. The later ones are much easier to play and more forgiving for new players but they just don't have a lot of charm and the music isn't really that great compared to this one. Each zone has unique gimmicks that really set it apart and she'll just how creative the programmers we're trying to be with it. This is easily a top 10 favorite game gear game for me.

9:40 I see sonic heroes in the trash and I agree

Q.O.T.D. answer: Any song from Unleashed due to Pure unfilter Nostalgia, but second place is A ghost bowl of Pumpkin soup/pumpkin hill.

Guys I can't believe Dylan said he would never do a Sonic Advance 3 review and called it a stinky pee pee poo poo head game!!!1!

Aqua Lake Zone.... yes, lakes do indeed have aqua...

The Only thing that’s well in Scrambled Egg is it’s music

Garrulous is the opposite of most sonic fans and it’s great

If you read this, a few days ago the full release of the remake is now out.

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.

Knight of the wind from Sonic and the black knight

It’s silver sonic,maybe...or it was robo sonic...no it was silver sonic...or was it? Perhaps MECHA SONIC 3.0 MARK 7 or something

Who knew Ganon would be revived in Sonic Chaos!

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.

Man Terraria was so bad at Antlions,they’re so easy to kill. Sonic got it right man

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).

I pretty much gave up on this game after dying a million times trying to get to the boss of Green Hills. Whoever thought that an entire section of leaps of faith that you have no way of knowing if you’ll land safely was a good idea should stay FAR away from game design...

3:23 "ayyyy terraria refere- AHHHH EW WTF IS THAT"

My favourite sonic song is WHAT IM MADE OF

Open your heart is probably my favorite. But it could be a bunch of others, I'm not sure

QOTD: Green Hills Zone, Sonic 2 (GG)

Sonic Advance 3 is to Garrulous64 as Sonic Unleashed was to Radical Soda

So, about that link to the remake in the description
