@@WanderingHeihois there any particular reason why they’re there in the first place? I can understand some being leftovers from the other Teams but the Bullet Station, Lost Jungle and Frog Forest ones seem very deliberately placed there and even have rings and enemies present
@@officialFredDurstfanclub No clue, might've been from earlier stages in development. It's possible they were supposed to be longer, but then got shortened down even more. This theory would explain why taking the higher flower in Frog Forest has bonus dialogue for example. That dialogue is where the achievement name got inspired from, as Big the Cat says the giant mushroom makes him think of a Shiitake mushroom (although the subtitles call it a Shitake mushroom, oops).
Glad you enjoyed the set for the most part, I'll definitely admit I went a little too far with that Team Dark challenge for Grand Metropolis. Sonic Heroes was my main 3D Sonic game for years, so working on the set was a dream for me. Yeah, some of those achievement names were pretty long, mainly because the ones for beating the bosses used the victory quotes from characters (like Espio's "Death to the evil one! Prepare to die, Eggman!"). 10:49 For those wondering, Diomedeidae is the scientific name for the albatross. 20:05 Yep, that blasted door left me wondering for years how to open it, or if it was just supposed to be always closed. Figured it would be a nice one to show players for the Team Sonic extra mission. 20:48 Mainly just a pun of wood and would, along with using live since it's about getting 1-ups. 30:44 Yep, that wink feels like such an unnecessary easter egg. That name was based on one of the lines Rouge says while waiting around in Seaside Hill, mainly because you can just get it immediately, and as a small hint to stop moving. 46:05 I personally found the Chaos Emerald challenges easier with only using the Power formation character, as the emerald's speed is based on your formation. And as you later found out, that small jump while boosting can be immensely helpful. Nicely done! And yes, you pronounced my name correctly
btw about the A rank requirement dont forget not dying ONCE somewhat late into the stage or in the middle because good fucking luck getting those levels back and clearing the strength sections fast
19:00 I actually never knew there was a switch to disable the laser gate. I always just clipped through the laser gate and never questioned why the characters had dialogue for playing on the VIP table :o
Another Sonic Heroes enjoyer, those are rare nowadays. Since I am this game's #1 fan (I have proof), I also tried to do these achievements, however I own the Sonic PC Collection version so it was more of a self-imposed challenge. Fortunately the Special Stages have better controls in the PC version which made the Special Stage achievements a bit easier (they're not perfect, but better than the GameCube version for sure). It also helps that the PC version has ridiculously short load times. I do strongly agree with the idea of an option to replay Special Stages directly from Challenge Mode though. Same goes for Super Hard Mode levels. I understand why you hate the Team Chaotix missions so much, but since I have memorised the locations of every collectable across every level, I love all of them. The uniqueness of their levels makes them more interesting to me since all the other teams have the standard level format covered. To answer your question about that 'bounce' that saved your runs in some of Team Rose's levels, that's a glitch called Last Resort Flight. If you are flying and perform a Flight Accel right as your flight gauge ends, you'll exit the flying state but you'll still get the upward burst of speed from the Flight Accel. It's also good to drop from your flight height cap slightly before performing the glitch to increase the speed you are propelled by.
It took me 2 and a half minutes to realize that you’re the same guy behind Everything Wrong With Steven Universe. The whole two and a half minutes, I was wondering why that voice sounded familiar.
Honestly, I feel you with the insecurities, when making videos rather it’s scripting, voice acting or editing, you’re always gonna be your own critic which in some ways is good cuz it means you can see flaws and fix them, but also bad when you’re too critical and feel like you’re never gonna make a video that people will like, it’s a difficult balance to work out but for the record, I enjoyed this video, I don’t usually watch longer videos, especially not like 1 hour long videos but this kept me invested so keep doing what you’re doing
this is probably the best cheevos/plat video i've seen on the platform. not repetitive and npc ish like most platinum youtubers. you have a really charming personality. keep it up! you've just earned a subscriber.
@@Supersonic1014 no problem. i watched your videos and i liked this one the most. i felt that because you liked the game more you were more entertaining and creative (humor, showing different stuff in the game). keep it up!
genuine great video it was so entertaining watching this video and its so cool that someone made a mod (i guees thats what it is) but it really cool to make some of these "old" games that need some sort of remake that you can have profile and just collect achivements for and congrats on finishing the script even after all those hardships im so excited to watch more videos of you!
Darky and Heiho sure do love their double conditions! I'd recommend getting Kirby Air Ride for your totally legitimate GCN if you want more where that came from. Heiho sure puts up a double condition challenge there too.
I've been a retro cheevo fan for a LONG time, and recently bought a handheld console purely with RA in mind. Next step is to design and build a custom mini pc "home console" to run up to Wii & PS2 games 🤞 so this series is amazing to me! Please keep it going!!
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention during the “Collect Rings” challenges where you can light up the Wide Springs to give yourself random power ups. It’s sometimes extremely helpful!! Also enjoying this series too! Can’t wait to see more!
18:09 I’m partially convinced that that mission is a RadicalSoda reference Seeing how those lyrics are from “Livin’ In The City” a song that is essentially his channel theme, and he was the one who started the “This isn’t _____, It’s Grand Metropolis!” Meme
if you ever decide to tackle monkey ball games, i wish all the luck in the party games (and all the main game support, i don't tell my friends what to put in the set if it was all easy haha) keep on doin these, it rules
This video is great and very entertaining but man I just gotta say the achievement names are so long and weird lmfao. Makes me appreciate the brevity of more typical achievement names. I do enjoy the ones that are appropriate quotes from the game though.
I played so much of this game, both as a child and when I got my current PS2 about a year ago, but I have never once heard that Team Rose had extra goal rings. I'm learning new things about this game, I swear
47:47 i get that you don’t wanna put bad vibes out there, but it’s quite literally the achievements fault 😭 the game itself doesn’t expect you to make it to the emerald in xx minutes with a lvl 3 boost gauge, so if you’re playing well you should get the emerald even despite the heroes jank. even emerald 7 took me like… 3 or 4 tries before i got it? and if you’re doing it with team rose it’s even easier.
I watched you stream the shadow. 420 ring challenge. Raging wasn’t the word. Fair play for sticking to it. Great video 🙌🏻 Would love to see you challenge Shadow the hedgehog if it’s on retro achievements 👀
3:43 I actually killed the B button of my control on this game because of the special stages. It should be noted I'm not a controller breaker at all & I had the controller for 4 months at that point. I just mashed B so much that the button became unresponsive.
That flight glitch you sometimes experience is caused by boosting at the exact moment your flight meter runs out, causing it to reset. Also, Shadow could be a next viable one, although it's currently only for PS2 (the worst version); mercifully, all 326 endings aren't required unless you're going for the subset.
This might be the Mandela effect getting to me, but I swear on the original Xbox version, the original placement of the goal ring in Rail Canyon for Team Rose was where the second goal ring was for the GameCube version
I find it crazy that you'd find the Chaotix item collecting missions bad when all they require is knowledge of the level, something you'd gain when playing through each level three or more times. Instead to me, the stealth missions are almost never consistent as to what constitutes as alterting an enemy, leading to those being the lengthiest to complete.
I remember that second emerald special stage is harder than all the ones after it. If you don’t get the emerald early like you did, it is hard to reach later.
I'll suggest some games for retroachievements: pokemon Crystal, pokemon Emerald, Sonic adventure 2, super mario rpg, the donkey country trilogy, paper mario 64, mario and luigi superstar saga, pokemon snap, the legend of zelda series, luigi's mansion and pokemon colosseum
After watching your whole retro achievements series so far, I think you were WAAAAY too harsh on Sonic 2. In your Sonic 2 video, you were complaining about stuff related to achievements the devs never considered, like the casino night with no bumpers, or keeping every ring in certain levels, and acting like the people who made Sonic 2 were at fault for retro achievements. And as for the half-pipe, They both: never thought someone’d be forced to get all 7 emeralds in the first zone, AND were limited by their technology at the time, so cut them some damn slack, will you?
Here are some achievements I did that I wish were on there: -Beat Seaside Hill as Team Chaotix with only Espio -Beat Ocean Palace as Team Dark without destroying any enemies -Beat Bingo Highway as Team Chaotix with only Vector -Beat Bullet Station as Team Sonic without Tails -Beat Bullet Station as Team Rose without Cream -Beat Bullet Station Extra as Team Chaotix without Charmy -Defeat Metal Overlord in under 2 Minutes
At first, I thought this guy just played games to 100% but hearing that he had medical problems makes me feel really bad about myself. Hope that it gets better for you🙂
When it says wood it means would and of course the doctor is referring to Dr. Eggman and I live to see the answer is of course since you’re getting one up 20:48
Off topic but holy shit I got jumpscared when this was in my recommended! I used to watch his streams ages ago, back when my username was z mineral! And I’m also in a sonic phase rn so that’s a great bonus too!!
Ah the nostalgia I actually have this game on my GameCube and is amazing but I didn't get 100% of it back then I was like 7 years old and I was struggling
There not being a Pop sound for when you unlock achievements on Dolphin is a deal breaker for me. And apparently it's not going to be added for a long time.
If that little edit near the end is supposed to be indicating the game I think it is... I don't really have anything to say about its difficulty one way or the other. Unlike every other video so far, I haven't even _played_ the game in question yet. But I gotta believe you'll pull through.
At around 51:20 in the video just when your about to start hard mode what was the song you used for the montage called cause I would love the listen to it in full.
I know Sonic Heroes is a bit easier than most Sonic games, but did anyone else really struggle with the frog/rainforest levels as Team Rose when they were younger? I remember that being the hardest version of those levels, and some of the harder levels in general for some reason.

so, whos gonna tell em
ama blak u oll
My mind is blown hearing about Rose having multiple exits! I would never have even _thought_ of looking for such things in a million years!
Oh, I found you here!
Yep, there's a few more stages that have them, but require major glitches to reach. Ocean Palace is an example of this.

bro casually dropped the hardest sonic heroes super hard mode edit and thought we wouldnt notice
btw about the A rank requirement
dont forget not dying ONCE somewhat late into the stage or in the middle because good fucking luck getting those levels back and clearing the strength sections fast
That final bit was super hype with Break Through It All
20:47 that may be a reference to the sonic underground, specifically referring to how the kids search for their mother
8:06 "THERE I AM, GARY THERE I AM!" :D
SO THATS HOW YOURE SUPPOSED TO GET THE VIP TABLE!???

For the Special Stages, you can just pick the Power characters and boost. Dunno why, but they got insane speed.

I'm really glad you discovered the Power Type Boost jump trick thing for the Special stages
I never see people talk about it anymore
Diomedeidae is the Scientific name of Albatross if you didn't know.
Forget Sonic 2, this is actual Torture
That Team Dark Achievement really deserved the Galdera Boss Fight Theme

Team Rose: easy mode
Team Sonic: normal mode
Team Dark: Hard mode
Team Chaotix: Mission mode.
Good luck at mastering sonic cd ;D
Very enjoyable video and congrats again on completing the set🫡
It looks like the bounce is caused by one of your team mates returning to flight formation as the meter stops draining
You gotta admit that Team Chaotix's theme goes hard, though.
Woo i been waiting for another achievement video!😊
