- Опубліковано 18 січ 2018
- Sonic Mania has some of Sonic's best 2D level design. Today, Alax breaks down a classic level, Flying Battery Zone, by comparing it to it's appearance in Sonic 3 & Knuckles and seeing what was fixed to bring this airship to life!

3:34 Is absolutely how I feel about all of sonic mania's music.
Cobalt Radiation it goes with metallic and hydro and many more
Except for Titanic Monarch, fuck that zone’s music.
7:50 for me
@@LuigisNo1fan What titanic monarch zone's music is EPIC
Cobalt Radiation
I love how he dances to Flying Battery!
This video is pretty hyperactive for someone called RelaxAlax
It's cuz he need to relax
It’s a reminder to himself.
I watched it at 1.5x. Definitely recommend it.
I mean he’s talking about sonic
It's what we in the business call "irony".
Alax this was one of your best videos in recent memory. You have a way of talking about things that I am ambivalent towards and making them sound exciting because YOU are so excited about them! I’d love to see more of this type of content, letting your personality show through in the video/ comedic elements. Keep up the good work.
THESE AREN'T TEARS THEY'RE ONIONS
How do you cry out onions?
By being made of Onions?
Mike McDonald Agreed! I laughed so much with this! I love Alax's humor. I'm always looking forward to the next video.
Yeez
Right after he said "it's time to get serious", the power at my house went down. He wasn't kidding o.o
Unexpected is right 🤣
great timing XD
Well that was Unexpected.
Hehe

If that happens to me. My reaction will be: well this video is cursed. Better get the holy water and the bible.

Lego dimensions isn’t really a Sonic game, and absolutely isn’t canon.

The Lego dimensions stage is Lost Labyrinth
I mean... there’s sonic 4.....
What is Lego dimensions?
10:18 i like how you can notice hes using footage from Sonic 3 Complete, you can tell cause the icon used on the act 1 sprite
It's canon. RelaxAlax wears a hairnet in the bathtub.

Came for Mania, stayed for bathtub Alax
Cheezmonka you ruined it
This was a great video that not only highlighted what was great about the level, but also came with a lot of great humor as well. Loved it!
This video really reminds me of Egoraptor's Sequelitis on MegaMan X. Great video my man, I believe you've earned yourself a sub!
And by sub I meant subscriber, not a Subway sandwhich. Sorry if I got you excited or whatever.
You TEASE
:^(
I would love to see a video like this about Metallic Madness Zone. It has so many gimmicks but they're all really cool and easy to understand. A great example of a level that was improved from the original (not that the original was bad, just not as good)
the original was kinda bad tbh
Metallic Madness (as do others in CD) suffers from sprawling, confusing, and unforgiving level design
Mania improved on it completely
Eh, CD's my (second) favorite Sonic game, and even I hated that stage. The confusing labyrinth-like structure, tons of cheap shots, tubes, lack of time-travel spots (if you're going for that), and THAT DAMN PIT FROM ACT 3.
"Sonic forces should be classified as a visual novel because you only press one button to advance the story" I'm fucking dead
Garrett Hunt its funny cause is true
I have to say that this is probably the best video you've ever made in my opinion. Not because it's Sonic or talking about a topic I'm very interested in, but because of the impecable editing and comedy bits. You've really put a lot into this and it shows, thank you.
Love your style of videos dude, keep this good stuff going!
4:27 I cried so hard this is such a moving sentence

im not even a big sonic fan but i absolutely LOVE how he mixes analysis and humor, it all works so well, especially with his humor and editing
keep it up, alax, your videos are fuckin GREAT lmao

Sonic Mania is the sixth gamemode of Super Mario Maker 2.
Ok Nichijou didn't deserve to be in that trash pile. The rest did though
NumbKnucks Hey...
Your favorite anime is shit.
Nichihou is best anime well not best but super good
Yea.
ALAX YOU BETRAYED ME!!! 4:51
I can't see either why it would be there.
I know it's random and nonsensical most of the time but it has some truly hearth-warming moments.
Unless alax considers that trash too..
NumbKnucks all anime is trash
Ah, he's becoming like the Jontron of like two years ago.
I LOVE IT KEEP AT IT DUDE
Tibbe Nijgh wasn't he doing star wars 2 years ago
He's not as irritating and insufferable as JonTron
Kitesis You're a bit sensitive if you think that
PK Ben nah I just find him annoying
Flying Battery was already my favorite zone in sonic mania (mainly because of the music), and I'm glad this video used it as an example, and now I also like it because of the level design.
This is my favorite video that you've made
Sonic forces isn't a visual novel, it would actually have to have a story.
Mach Sigma I mean, it does though.
(And compared to most other Sonic games it actually ain’t that bad, barring the cheesy writing-but that’s what most peeps would expect playing a Sonic game.)
*T R U E D A T*
Compared to other Sonic games' story? Yes it does have a story
Handepsilon Well said
no it doesn't Sonic Colors had a better story and that story wasn't even good and I don't mean better as in subjective tast, I mean they actually explain what is happening, in forces things just happen with no explanation or just ends abruptly. ex, classic sonic, wisps, infinite, the phantom ruby....
Yes other sonic games have plot holes but I didn't think they where nearly as bad as this.
Alax that is one hell of a good haircut.
KHC Plays Fuck you
Earl Brown who hurt you?
6:36 I just noticed that the words you used were from “Your Reality” from Doki Doki Literature Club.
We still need the sequel as promised
duki nuki lit club
0:53 The fanfics write themselves
Calling Sonic Forces a visual novel, eh? That's an insult to actually good visual novels.
Also screw you Alax. I like Natsuki.
Tristan gfffddf Looks like somebody is mad LUL
)=
WRONG, LOSER!
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb
Finally someone else who likes Natsuki
"this visual novel where you only press one button to move through the story" Alax, why can't we stop thinking about DDLC? (Yes, *we* since I apparently also have the urge to make any reference to DDLC whenever I can)
Magiver77 Because those girls wrote the way into our hearts (?
but did you hear 6:36
Just found your video thru shesez's Smash vid with you and Nitro Rad.
First impressions: You make some very smart commentary, and your comedic timing is impeccable. Hate to call you "like JonTron" but that's what I'm reminded of again, despite Jon not have uploaded for so long. Definitely going to watch more!
6:36 "The ink flows down into the dark puddly, how can I write love into reeality?" Nice Doki Doki Literature Club reference!
3:35
In 0.5
That song at 7:51 made my day!
I have a feeling that someone is going to make a mix out of his voice
yung Meheecan dw I’ve got you xD, I’ve already started working on it 😂👌🏼
Monster Mo lol 😂 wow that was quick can't wait to listen to ya mix 😂😂😂
yung Meheecan Trust me it’s gonna be dope xD
Monster Mo I'll be waiting for ya new mix dude can't wait lol 😂 😂😂
this is the first video I've seen from your channel, and I gotta say I'm getting old-school JonTron vibes from this and I love every second of it.
Alax really filled that niche after Jon started transitioning content and uploading less
it's not even been one year and those meme references already date the entire video
I really think your channel has gained a lot of quality over the past 6 months. Keep it up!
I'm a level designer and stuff like this is porn for me.
Supa J64 what game?
Breeze in the Clouds. Still under development.
Supa J64 G'luck with it!
I'm not a level designer but I enjoy videos about level design. A lot. Do you watch mark brown's videos? They're awesome
Oh is it on steam ps shop eshop Xbox live or what
This was a very good analysis! In fact, I think you should do it again for one of Sonic Mania's newer zones, like Press Garden or Titanic Monarch.
I love how you put your reality Into this video man, this is so good.
Loving that Super Mario Galaxy 2 music in the background
Lol when he said "dont blink"
*becomes selfaware of my blinking*
"Ok"
*now has to manually blink for the rest of my life*

Hey is your tounge laying comfortable in your mouth?
No
Yes

Actually, my tounge is quite comfortable as it is, thanks.
How's your breathing?
When you rest your face, do you close your jaws or keep them open?
Does your collar ever annoy your throat so much it tickles and drives you crazy?
HA!
Viktor the victor well played sir 😘👌
this is my favorite relax alax video
7:42 .... okay you need to make a full version of this cover of the theme
Is in his 2nd channel
Wow, Sequiltis sure came back hard.
Professor Omega pls no.
Game analysis is universal.
And sequalitus as awesome as it was is dead...enjoy the grumps.
Mike Strong I meant the style is similar to Sequilitis.
And I disagree. #BringBackSequilitis
Professor Omega I thought I was the only one

*FUCK*
Why the flying battery makes my d*ck Rock Hard!
5:44 I have over 60 hours on this game and I didn’t even know that secret existed!
@Reece Orton i have 100 hours in mania
I learned that in my first playthrough of Mania, I had 30 minutes into the game at the time.
17 minutes
Now I have 55 hours, a pretty good amount of time into the game but I can't get 1 encore emerald
I was actually looking far and wide for this video. I forgot the name of the video and the channel that posted it. Then I found Preparing the Flying Battery, which is actually what I wanted (a full version of RelaxAlax singing Flying Battery), and in the description, I saw that this video was the original version!
Alaxirino MusicaSkippirino 7:50 Let the moosic beguin
1:57 - 2:07: Actually, that's 17, but I guess the original Green Hill doesn't count.
“Remade”
He actually put the original there.
15, sonic runners is windy hill.
I *FRICK* -ing love how you explain these levels
The thing not touched upon in act 2, is that the exterior sections of the Battery are recycled Wing Fortress Zone sections from Sonic 2, which was a nice throwback touch as well. They managed to squeeze two zones with similar themes together and make it mesh seamlessly. Other nuances I liked included how the background inside the Battery coincided how high or low in the ship you were, giving you a real sense of being inside a limited physical space... Instead of just... Platforming.
The background differed in the original depending on your vertical position in the original as well.
I genuinely learned something here. Thanks, Alax.

6:27 "They have rings to show you DE WAE" **clucks**
Man I've been watching your vids for awhile and I Can't comprehend why you don't have AT LEAST 1 million subscribers yet.
This video and Sonic Mania hype (plus the game being released on my birthday) single handedly got me into the Sonic series
I’m upset I hadn’t seen this video until just now. This was great.
I request a full version of this ( 7:50 - 8:03 ). Please Alax, that voice is heavenly.
This video was amazing! Your editing is definitely one of the best things I've seen on UA-cam.
"The best part of sonic games is the music."
This was really a great video
4:26 You just gave me cancer
I lost brain cells

Xhorxhi25 wait did you write the comment in a another comment?
Larry Molina no, i was gonna comment that is what i mean 😆
If you avoid these you have really bad trust issues
Holy God I lost my shit laughing at this
8:29 those ball things were in the original s3&k flying battery
This is very Sequelitis inspired but it's still funny, observational and it's Sonic related. Great video! :)
We need a review of every level like this. Could say a lot about every single level tbh
3:35 and 7:50 Me too
Best Relaxalax video. Change my mind
When he said don’t blink I didn’t blink for that whole part
7:50 your sync well with the music like this if you agree
Sonic falling and breaking his legs? Sonic advance 2 would like to have a word
Someone's been watching Sequelitis!
Great job, A+ editing and comedy.
Sonic Mania was such a joy to play, and this video encapsulates that!
