+Mysterycode Yeah. I'd imagine. I hate Marble Zone. And then thing about the zone's listed in the main comment. It's not as hard to die in those zones. You'd just be getting hit a lot. And it's is a punishing difficulty spike from the first zone
As soon as I saw Marble Zone, my next words were “Wow, you guys must suck at Sonic 1!” Then I saw Eggmanland at #3 and Scrambled Egg Zone as an honorable mention. I am convinced they never played Sonic Unleashed or Sonic 2 on the Master System.
Sonic 2 on game gear is just the hardest game in the series like the first boss is harder than every level in the classic sonic quadrilogy so scrambled egg was legitimately made me want to rip my hair out

+AXHP Mad Space mostly was hard because the level was just broken. The camera didn't work properly, the game often would constantly shift your control direction when you were on the underside of a planetoid, and I remember one time a chaos shard was impossibly out of reach that I had to restart the level.
Eggmanland was the hardest I've ever encountered. Took 50 lives. Then a fight with eggman and then 2 fights with Dark Gaia. Made finishing the game a memorable accomplishment.
Basically one of the reason why unleashed is my favorite sonic game. It was actually a huge achievement to beat eggmanland and dark gaia and finally... after it all... even skyscraper scamper... I get awarded a song by one of my favorite bands!
Scrap Brain Zone was so much fun :) I really liked that zone. Marble Zone is not hard, it just takes patience. It was only hard because at the time, it was our first experience with the mechanics of Sonic.
That Carnival Nights Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 pissed me off so much because of that section where Sonic has to create enough momentum to get under the bouncing cylinder by constantly jumping on it. If you had Tails as a CPU then that part is virtually impossible.
+AlwonDomz this part used to be impossible. like you, i used to try and jump up and down to get momentum happening...only years later i realised that you didnt jump on it at all lol
+AlwonDomz This used to be the bane of my entire existence. I cant even begin how much my lil brother and I died there. We would spend, and Im not joking here, fucking hours trying to find out what to do, and losing numerous, numerous, NUMEROUS lives. And then, one day, I got it by mistake! With time clicking down to the 9:59 mark. Man, I ran like a bat out of hell to find a starpost, and I ended up crying, along with my lil bro, when we found one just before the time went up. Lol, my mom ran in thinking we were fighting or something. Oh, if she could only understand....
Here's some more they forgot: ~Almost every 8-bit stage on Game Gear. Seriously, those games were hard. ~Security Hall, due to the damn time limit ~Cannon's Core ~Sky Canyon (with Sonic), seriously this should've been on there
Szymixx gaming im mainly talking about those insta kill bombs in zone 2, not exactly fair since there are usually never insta kills in sonic other that falling off or getting crushed

+SpongicX +MarsGundam Marble Zone is one of my all-time favourite Sonic levels ever! And it is way way easier than Scrap Brain Zone. I'm surprised that they put Scrap Brain as only #10 while putting Marble Zone as #6, when IMO the stages should clearly have their rankings switched!!
What about sonic adventure 1 & 2, sonic heroes, sonic the hedgehog 2006, sonic colors & sonic the lost world all theses game number 1 thru 10 are easy!!!
Final Foretress - Team Dark. It's long as fuck, has some segements where the contol really fucks you, has WAAAAY too many enemies and IS TOO FUCKING LONG
Scrap Brain Zone on Sonic 1 was a lot harder than Marble Zone. not sure why they ranked Marble Zone as being harder. For me the hardest levels from each of the Genesis Sonic games are, Sonic 1 - Scrap Brain Zone Sonic 2 - Metropolis Zone Sonic 3 - Carnival Night Zone Sonic & Knuckles - Sandopolis Zone
Carnival Night is long, but not hard, imo. I can't think what the hardest level in that game is, but then again, I have been playing it for a long time... The only thing is - I am currently stuck on the final boss in that game. I am not a big fan of it... Yeah, call me crazy. I know a lot of people really enjoy the Big Arms boss, but for me it is really annoying. I must have lost 20 lives trying to beat it (burned thru all of my continues) and still haven't beaten it yet. Yes, back in the day I had beaten it as Knuckles in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but as Sonic (& Tails - but Sonic only for that boss) right now (it's been awhile since I had played the game) I need to play the entire Launch Base Zone over again. What's worse is that I had gotten a Chaos Emerald in LBZ Act 1 (my 5th), but because I wasn't able to beat the final boss and clear LBZ, the game did not record my 5th Chaos Emerald - it only says I have 4. Then when I went back in to the Giant Ring where I had originally gotten that 5th Chaos Emerald in Launch Base 1, it wasn't there anymore... As far as Sonic & Knuckles, I would say that the most difficult level for me would be Sandopolis Act 2 (the long level with the ghosts and the light switches, and the big boss in which you uncover and then go back and hit the robot's exposed skeleton).
Pretty good list. I'd remove Metallic Madness (CD is so easy lol), replace Marble with Sandopolis, and switch Eggmanland with Labyrinth. But DUDE Chaos Angel was a pain, glad that was included.
I think I would have put Metropolis Zone a bit higher. Enemy placement, and those crabs are a royal pain to hit their weak points without taking damage in the process were what gave me the most trouble with that level. Definitely leagues ahead of Marble Zone in terms of difficult at least.

+extreme1is1me The first boss was actually the hardest one in the game. And then there's the fact that it's almost impossible to find all the chaos emeralds.
There's more hard levels than this, but here are some that I've had some serious times with in the past. 1. Final Rush (Sonic Adventure 2) 2. Crazy Gadget (Sonic Adventure 2) 3. Lost Jungle (Sonic Heroes) 4. Final Fortress (Sonic Heroes) 5. Bingo Highway (Sonic Heroes) 6. End of the World (Sonic 06) 7. Adabat (Sonic Unleashed Xbox360/Ps3) 8. Cyber Track Act 3 (Sonic Advanced 3) 9. Lost Impact (Shadow the Hedgehog) 10. Eternal Engine (Sonic Adventure 2)
You know how with some games you beat as a kid but then return later wondering how you beat it before when you were younger? This was one of those games for me.
ArmageddonxD You know its actually illegal to tell somebody to kill themselves on the Internet, right? Especially if they actually do it. So, ya may wanna watch what you say to avoid the Police at your doorstep. Don't think I'm defending this kid though, hell no, he's a cringy little bugger. I just don't want you in jail.
Most difficult part in a Sonic game for me is the final boss in Sonic 2. No rings, and then you must fight metal Sonic and Robotnic. It's not so bad with Sonic, but with Knuckles it becomes a nightmare seeing as he can't jump as high as Sonic. Best thing to do is to bring a second player, make him attack the boss while you just stay out of the way.
My top 10 hardest levels 10. Crazy Gadget 9. Wing Fortress Zone 8. Labyrinth Zone 7. Egg Fleet 6. Sandopils Zone 5. Metropolis Zone 4. Final Fortress 3. Scrap Brain Zone 2. Eggman Land 1. Final Egg
R Peraza For me it's 10 Cyber Track 9 Mystic Cave 8 Blue Marine 7 Eggmanland 6 Scrap Brain 5 Labyrinth 4 Asteroid Coaster 3 Cool Edge (Night) 2 Sky Canyon 1 All Levels in Sonic 2 GG.
Labyrinth zone belongs at #1, because of that section where you're FORCED to move. That bubble you needed? It's off-screen now and you don't have enough time to get to the next one.
Realistically no but in fairness it is a sizeable difficulty spike from Green Hill. I mean you go from a level that you can blast through at high speed to a much more precise and patience platformer with lava in it. That's rough for the newer player.
Tim Griffiths True, especially if the player is young. I remember back when i was 8 or so Metropolis was so damn hard for me, It took weeks for me to beat it. But nowadays levels like that don't phase me
Labyrinth zone? That's what you think is the hardest sonic level? Labyrinth zone wasn't even that hard, when you get it through your head not to rush through like a mad hedgehog. I got through that zone aged 8, it took me ages to beat the Sky Sanctuary zone ages 13. I think people have based this list based off childhood experiences and not on if the level is hard. Labyrinth zone is a hard level, but hardly the hardest sonic level.
I remember my clusin was playing sonic 2 and I was playing as tails and when he kept dying i called him a loser but then i realized who was playing as tails lol
Scrap brain 3 is one of the hardest levels IMO (assuming no shortcut). It combines precision platforming, patient traversing to avoid all sorts of gotchas, and scrambling for air because the bubbles don't refresh as often. That should be the hardest level simply because of how easy it is to die... and the urge to panic and make a mistake because of air and then die...
*Labyrinth Zone* from *Sonic The Hedgehog* is number 1? Really? It's not even difficult to beat. *Wing Fortress Zone* from *Sonic The Hedgehog 2* is more difficult to beat.
As a non-owner of Sonic 2, the one that gave me the most grief was Metropolis. My friends had it, so I could only play it during visits. I made it to Metropolis about 4 or 5 times, and I finally passed it, only to die quickly in the very next. Sky Chase or Wing Fortress? It's been about 20 years since I played it, but the memories are very fond.
Considering that this was made before Sonic Mania, I think a new list could include Titanic Monarch Zone 2 and Oil Ocean Zone 2, the latter mainly because of the boss.
What about the egg fleet stage, second act on sonic heroes? that level was downright insane with it's bullshit. Playing it as team dark is almost dark souls level of crazy
Hmmm... A bit surprised Mystic Cave Zone from Sonic 2 only made the honorable mentions, because God forbid you fall into that stupid pit in Act 2 as Super Sonic.
@@jaxthewolf4572 except it's not challenge it all. You'll only get hit if you blindly rush through the stage. Even as a kid I never found it difficult. I had more trouble with Spring Yard Zone.
I was especially thinking about the Metropolis Zone, Sandopolis Zone and Death Egg Zone. That said, those levels are among my favourites. One level I actually found difficult was level 2 on Sonic Spinball.
The last level of the Labyrinth Zone in the first game is pure hell. The fight at the end to avoid drowning and arrows shooting at you is the worst. Except for Sonic and Knuckles Mushroom Hill Zone when you get trapped in a endless loop.
I agree. I didn't think it was bad. I thought it was just difficult. After hearing people discuss bad controls, I agree that Sonic had issue being controlled but even if it was improved, it would barely help the difficulty. Difficulty shouldn't equal bad mechanics though.
AJ Gaming I lost my copy and that port had labyrinth zone in slow motion so it was twice as annoying as the genesis version especially if you got hit and not once did I ever see act 3 of it until I played the original which was wayyy easier
I thought Sandopolis Act 2 was far more difficult. That's got to be the most difficult level in that game (I play as Knuckles, BTW - so I don't know about the ending levels with Sonic).
@@JJ_TheGreat yeah Sandopolis Act 2 is the most difficult in Sonic & Knuckles. Lava Reef Zone it's easy once you keep the Fire shield. Also I recommend you to play as Sonic, it has more levels than Knuckles and an epic final Boss.
Marble zone is harder then Scrap brain zone and metropolis zone??? I can't be the only who thinks that is ridiculous.
Don't worry.your not
I guess it is for the difficulty curve from hill zone
+Mysterycode Yeah. I'd imagine. I hate Marble Zone. And then thing about the zone's listed in the main comment. It's not as hard to die in those zones. You'd just be getting hit a lot. And it's is a punishing difficulty spike from the first zone
Marble zone shouldn’t even be on the list
@@theutubepower1243 are you serious?! Okay, I just know it's hard as fuck on Android/IOS version.
Nothing is harder than Eggmanland.
That thing is still to this day the single hardest stage i've ever played in a platformer.
80 minutes long first playthrough...
Jesus christ, You sure had some free time on you're hands
Too true
eggmanland was hard for me to at first now it's easy
It's not that tuff, it's the controls and the fact that the werehog had no shadow was frustrating
Lava isn't instant death.
It is if you can’t get out of it
@@GenEric1305 Got rings?
@Nicholas Hernandez everything is insta death if you dont have rings
Is this mario
No but water might as well be
As soon as I saw Marble Zone, my next words were “Wow, you guys must suck at Sonic 1!”
Then I saw Eggmanland at #3 and Scrambled Egg Zone as an honorable mention.
I am convinced they never played Sonic Unleashed or Sonic 2 on the Master System.
Yeah dude they DO suck at marble zone
Sonic 2 on the Master System was a genuine hair puller
Sonic 2 on game gear is just the hardest game in the series like the first boss is harder than every level in the classic sonic quadrilogy so scrambled egg was legitimately made me want to rip my hair out
The lava from Marble Zone is not instant death unless you have no rings.
SuperZombieBros that's what I was like when he said that
Exactly. If that were the case, then every single obstacle that could hurt Sonic in one way or another would be classed as an instant death.
The guy was either overdramatising it or didn't bother to actually play and check his facts.
mojo doesn't know what the fuck a sonic is
Well, WatchMojo did put Gravity Falls on its list of worst Disney cartoons, likes Teen Titans GO!, believes there is such thing as too much patriotism, hates Click!, likes Sakura Haruno (WITH A PASSION, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!! D8
Also Lava can't instantly kill you
Jamie Gibson you got that right
It only can if you have no rings, shield, or Invincibility.
RadShyGuy well then everything can instantly kill you not just lava

It can in eggmanland

marble zone is really easy
+BananaPeelss well ur a noob then
Next time do the Oil ocean Zone from sonic 2
Why do you guys just take the popular opinion of the media.
Metropolis zone. .. I hate that level in sonic 2 an 4 ep 2. no special combos because no tails, playing as metal, so hard!
8:15 "Constantly running low on air."
Oooookay. Whatever you say guys.
Along with this list, every level of Sonic 2 for game gear. The game was hard for no reason especially the Scrambled egg zone.
+extreme1is1me As a kid I died at that first boss fight a million times, and I was actually good at Sonic!
+KLAY the Cartoonist lol same......
What about sonic adventure 1 & 2, sonic heroes, sonic the hedgehog 2006, sonic colors & sonic the lost world all theses game number 1 thru 10 are easy!!!
+extreme1is1me The first boss was actually the hardest one in the game. And then there's the fact that it's almost impossible to find all the chaos emeralds.
Yep GG Sonic 2 is probably the hardest non broken Sonic game around.
There's more hard levels than this, but here are some that I've had some serious times with in the past.
1. Final Rush (Sonic Adventure 2)
2. Crazy Gadget (Sonic Adventure 2)
3. Lost Jungle (Sonic Heroes)
4. Final Fortress (Sonic Heroes)
5. Bingo Highway (Sonic Heroes)
6. End of the World (Sonic 06)
7. Adabat (Sonic Unleashed Xbox360/Ps3)
8. Cyber Track Act 3 (Sonic Advanced 3)
9. Lost Impact (Shadow the Hedgehog)
10. Eternal Engine (Sonic Adventure 2)
Hardest game: Dr Robotniks Mean bean machine
You know how with some games you beat as a kid but then return later wondering how you beat it before when you were younger? This was one of those games for me.
+The Pho Eater thats my case with podracer on the N64
+The Pho Eater yes!
Mean Bean Machine is awesome! I can usually clear it in about half an hour 😆
I can't get past level 3 ;-;
Marble Zone is just long, not difficult.
It isnt that long
Same thing goes for oil ocean
i agree
@Azure Plumber Yea, Those seahorses are assholes lol you think you got a good rhythm and bam there they are to fuck up your day 😂
It took me 6 freaking hours to complete marble zone XD
Do you agree to our list?
YESSS!
Im ded.
rip
ArmageddonxD OK Your Talking To A Child That's Depressed Ok
ArmageddonxD You know its actually illegal to tell somebody to kill themselves on the Internet, right? Especially if they actually do it. So, ya may wanna watch what you say to avoid the Police at your doorstep. Don't think I'm defending this kid though, hell no, he's a cringy little bugger. I just don't want you in jail.
ArmageddonxD I
ArmageddonxD dead.
Most difficult part in a Sonic game for me is the final boss in Sonic 2. No rings, and then you must fight metal Sonic and Robotnic. It's not so bad with Sonic, but with Knuckles it becomes a nightmare seeing as he can't jump as high as Sonic. Best thing to do is to bring a second player, make him attack the boss while you just stay out of the way.
try it with 3 characters its really easy ( on sonic heroes emulator thing) it took a lot of practice though.
i agree
If you get the timing down, with enough practice it's not that bad. When I was a kid it gave me fits but 25 years later I think I've got it down.
Chemical plant is hard
tails
fly
My top 10 hardest levels
10. Crazy Gadget
9. Wing Fortress Zone
8. Labyrinth Zone
7. Egg Fleet
6. Sandopils Zone
5. Metropolis Zone
4. Final Fortress
3. Scrap Brain Zone
2. Eggman Land
1. Final Egg
Final Egg is hard?
to me it was
R Peraza
For me it's
10 Cyber Track
9 Mystic Cave
8 Blue Marine
7 Eggmanland
6 Scrap Brain
5 Labyrinth
4 Asteroid Coaster
3 Cool Edge (Night)
2 Sky Canyon
1 All Levels in Sonic 2 GG.
Cinko420 Sky Canyon was a bitch and three bitch pipes
R Peraza death egg zone act -1 from sonic 2
Labyrinth zone belongs at #1, because of that section where you're FORCED to move. That bubble you needed? It's off-screen now and you don't have enough time to get to the next one.
One notable omission: CANNON'S CORE. Boy was that level hard. Also Cosmic Fall from Shadow the Hedgehog.
THATS SO TRUE
Oh shit, the Rouge section had me stuck pretty hard when I was a kid lol
If you didn't have the air necklace upgrade for knuckles then his section was hard as fuck!
Good thing I had it
+BladeBlurX Cosmic Fall was not difficult. It was difficult in expert mode just like any other level.
Marble Zone isn't that hard.
I agree
+The Nightwatcher Your right it's not, there's a few other on this list i didn't think were hard at all
Realistically no but in fairness it is a sizeable difficulty spike from Green Hill. I mean you go from a level that you can blast through at high speed to a much more precise and patience platformer with lava in it. That's rough for the newer player.
Tim Griffiths
True, especially if the player is young. I remember back when i was 8 or so Metropolis was so damn hard for me, It took weeks for me to beat it. But nowadays levels like that don't phase me
+The Nightwatcher I like Marble Zone
Labyrinth zone? That's what you think is the hardest sonic level? Labyrinth zone wasn't even that hard, when you get it through your head not to rush through like a mad hedgehog. I got through that zone aged 8, it took me ages to beat the Sky Sanctuary zone ages 13.
I think people have based this list based off childhood experiences and not on if the level is hard. Labyrinth zone is a hard level, but hardly the hardest sonic level.
Mike Gaddass Sky Sanctuary is easy IMO
Mike Gaddass Sky Sanctuary is not near as hard as Labryinth Zone, Sky Sanctuary is arguably one of the easiest levels in the Genesis-Era how the fuck
Mike Gaddass yup
Not Sky Sanctuary....it was Sky Base act 2 that I had trouble with, it was Sonic 1 Master system. That damn bomb bot always got me.
yes
3:57 "Pool of lava which is an instant death"?????!!!!
No comment...
COMMENT!!!
I remember my clusin was playing sonic 2 and I was playing as tails and when he kept dying i called him a loser but then i realized who was playing as tails lol
Do top 10 hardest crash bandicoot levels!!
+Rens Kersbergen thanks
+Mikaail28 yes!
ah the memories....
Those bridge levels in CB1!
+Mikaail28 Cold Hard Crash would be number 1.
The hardest level is the entirety of Sonic '06.
PREACH
+Bailey Jones ITS NO USE!!!!!!
+Mamzy97 OOOOOOOOVERHATEEEEE!!!
+Matthew Cool Crisis City in Generations as Modern Sonic was tough or me. Every time I play that level, I die multiple times.
+Bailey Jones Your kidding right? I beat the whole game(not counting hard mode) in 4 days right after getting it, seriously no joke.
Scrap brain 3 is one of the hardest levels IMO (assuming no shortcut). It combines precision platforming, patient traversing to avoid all sorts of gotchas, and scrambling for air because the bubbles don't refresh as often. That should be the hardest level simply because of how easy it is to die... and the urge to panic and make a mistake because of air and then die...
*Labyrinth Zone* from *Sonic The Hedgehog* is number 1? Really? It's not even difficult to beat. *Wing Fortress Zone* from *Sonic The Hedgehog 2* is more difficult to beat.
yes i agree Labyrinth Zone is my fav and the easiest zone in sonic the hedgehog
Dr. Covi marble zone was hard
its called being cliche as fuck
And death egg zone from Sonic 2
Randy H. Wing fortress zone is very easy. Labyrinth zone is hard. (My opinion)
am I the only one who had trouble with Chemical Plant?
+Melku44 Must be.
no
Only the boss
+LordWellington35 lmao
Eggman land was such a pain in the ass when I played Unleashed
As a non-owner of Sonic 2, the one that gave me the most grief was Metropolis. My friends had it, so I could only play it during visits. I made it to Metropolis about 4 or 5 times, and I finally passed it, only to die quickly in the very next. Sky Chase or Wing Fortress? It's been about 20 years since I played it, but the memories are very fond.
You: Do you agree with our list?
Sonic: Yes!
XD
Ahh labyrinth zone. Childhood memories right there.
Scrap Brain does have checkpoints.
Synystershy it does.rarely
Act 2 has none. But act 1 and 3 have 2.
Synystershy yeah it took me a few hours to beat the entire level
It's easy if you know what you're doing.
Synystershy true but it was my first time
Considering that this was made before Sonic Mania, I think a new list could include Titanic Monarch Zone 2 and Oil Ocean Zone 2, the latter mainly because of the boss.
What about the egg fleet stage, second act on sonic heroes? that level was downright insane with it's bullshit. Playing it as team dark is almost dark souls level of crazy
LOL Final Fortress and Egg Fleet was to be in the list, those 2 levels was a life to pass
Uhh
I'm getting war flashbacks from sonic 2 death egg zone Why WHY W H Y WHYYYYYY
Marble Garden Zone in Sonic 3 isn't bad. Act 2 is a bit long but not really hard.
J.J. The Great besides that earthquake at the end of the stage before the boss.
@@xXChickyChuXx marble garden was long but if you time your lampost entries correctly you could get 1000 rings
Eggman land has to be number one I spent like a day to beat eggman land
I spent like a week
I spent 44 minutes
jesus u guys actually beat it? im still on that level
+sonicoduh1125 jesus the game has been put for pretty much 8 years now. lol
pffft i never understood what was wrong with eggmanlamd, that stage is easy, i got a b rank first time i beat it, and only one game over prior
There are checkpoints in Scrap Brain Zone, but they aren't directly in your path like in earlier zones.
Eggman land is definitely the hardest sonic level of all time.
I COULD NEVER GET AN S RANK IN EGGMANLAND!!
Hmmm... A bit surprised Mystic Cave Zone from Sonic 2 only made the honorable mentions, because God forbid you fall into that stupid pit in Act 2 as Super Sonic.
same lol pissed me off of the pit
I fell in the pit and it took me to Hidden Palace Zone?
Hollis Dodd Hidden Palace wasn't in the Original Sonic 2.
FPS Larry III idk I play the Android version
Planet Wisp isn't hard, it's annoying.
When I was a kid, metropolis zone was my NIGHTMARE. Today though, Death Egg zone still bugs me.
Still not as hard as my boulder levels...
+Crash Bandicoot WatchMojo, you see this bloke here? He deserves a top 10. Or two. Or maybe even three.
DO IT
+Crash Bandicoot Hahaha! Or the Polar Bear levels. ;-)
+Crash Bandicoot I wanted to see that unadded level that was harder than slippery climb.
Crash, everyone will know that Slippery Climb is #1.
+Crash Bandicoot It's still not as hard as how hard you fell out of the media
7:48 ha you can say that again. I almost broke my controller trying to beat that level
0:35 that eliminates like half of his library
Cannon's Core - Sonic Adventure 2 was difficult for me during my initial runs. definitely didn't expect to get a game over during it
The marble zone got me everytime
I almost smashed my TV!
Samee
Scrap Brain Zone had the best music though
The soundtrack from the original Sonic trilogy has really phenomenal music in general!!!!!
Why the hell would you let Sonic drown when there were 4 fucking bubbles right there!?
Most of the levels on the list that I played I loved. My favorite being the death egg zone. So much fun.
I hated labrynth mode
the worst level i ever hate is metropolis zone
Labyrinth Zone will forever be my enemy...
do you already made a top 10 Sonic the Hedgehog characters? if not that might be a good idea
CORRECTION: The hardest level in the entire history of Sonic games so far is the entirety of Sonic Boom.
Glen Wang I couldn’t even beat the first level of any of the boom games because i got bored and turned the game off before i got to any of them
Give me a break. Labyrinth is cake compared to Eggmanland.
Oh you're right. I couldn't even finish Sonic Unleased becouse of that level.
+Ryan Brown eggmanland = hardest video game level my best 23 min 1st run 66 min eggmanland= impossible
pure madness
my hardest sonic level is chemical zone act 2 sonic 2
i thought i was the only one who thought it was hard xD for some reason the boss was really frustrating for me :P
the real golden freddy 20th it was actually suppose to be the death egg zone instead they scrapped it and made it chemical plant so your good lol!
Cloudof8wesome same. But I'm actually still playing Sonic 2 rn and I'm at Metropolis zone stage 3 so I probably shouldn't say anything.
the real golden freddy 20th sorry, but that's just kind of sad
the real golden freddy 20th you suck
wheres death egg zone sonic 2?
bjgeantil thats just a boss fight set, not a full on level. assuming your talking genesis.
belmontzar k
Chemical Plant zone was supposed to be Death Egg Zone, but the idea got scrapped or there was not enough size for the Sega Genesis.
I can agree with you on scrap brain zone. Act 3 is labyrinth zone act 4
Eggmanland
Just, Eggmanland
once u get used to it marble zone isn't that hard
True true
Marble zone made the list? really? it's not hard.
+Vandelay16
And Labyrinth is also not deserving of number 1.
It's not difficult but can be challenging especially for little kids.
@@jaxthewolf4572 except it's not challenge it all. You'll only get hit if you blindly rush through the stage. Even as a kid I never found it difficult. I had more trouble with Spring Yard Zone.
I was especially thinking about the Metropolis Zone, Sandopolis Zone and Death Egg Zone. That said, those levels are among my favourites.
One level I actually found difficult was level 2 on Sonic Spinball.
Oil Ocean - Sonic the Hedgehog 2
not hard
Ricardo Noel sorry
Ricardo Noel but that Zone was easy
David 2035 Thank Mania for making it difficult now then
Cygness 75 I didn't know Oil Ocean was in Mania probably because I didn't make on Oil Ocean yet
Do hardest pokemon battles!
+Pikachu no
okay
+Pikachu Except Gale of Darkness, there really isn't any lol
But wat abut meh...
😀😀😀😀 I agreed
Before watching Eggman land is number 1
+ACACE10 what only 3
+ACACE10 I was surprised too =P
+ACACE10 I was shocked
I called Labyrinth Zone being number one and I was correct. Rekt.
+Mamzy97 Oh yes. I have very vivid memories of struggling with that level.
The last level of the Labyrinth Zone in the first game is pure hell. The fight at the end to avoid drowning and arrows shooting at you is the worst. Except for Sonic and Knuckles Mushroom Hill Zone when you get trapped in a endless loop.
What endless loop ?
0:39 am i the only one who does not think that sonic 06 is not broking but difficult i like the the game it is actually decent to me
kelli myers sonic 06 was bad but fun to play so your right 👍
I agree. I didn't think it was bad. I thought it was just difficult. After hearing people discuss bad controls, I agree that Sonic had issue being controlled but even if it was improved, it would barely help the difficulty. Difficulty shouldn't equal bad mechanics though.
kelli myers 9
kelli myers p
Most of the levels were frustrating though
I remember I used to hate labyrinth zone
Gosh I can't remember the number of times I raged with Labyrinth XD
AJ Gaming I remember asking my friend to best sonic on GBA for me and he left me on labyrinth zone, don't ever play the GBA port
PooperScooper99 Oh please I'm already stuck with it XD
AJ Gaming I lost my copy and that port had labyrinth zone in slow motion so it was twice as annoying as the genesis version especially if you got hit and not once did I ever see act 3 of it until I played the original which was wayyy easier
AJ Gaming thanks to that terrible port my GBA sp suffered tons of bite marks and being thrown at the wall several times due to rage lol
The hardest sonic level I played is Lava Reef Zone: Sonic & Knuckles
yassssssss! someone who finally agrees with me!
I thought Sandopolis Act 2 was far more difficult. That's got to be the most difficult level in that game (I play as Knuckles, BTW - so I don't know about the ending levels with Sonic).
@@JJ_TheGreat yeah Sandopolis Act 2 is the most difficult in Sonic & Knuckles. Lava Reef Zone it's easy once you keep the Fire shield. Also I recommend you to play as Sonic, it has more levels than Knuckles and an epic final Boss.
I thought that zone was easy
I'm surprised Mystic Cave Zone was not even an honourable mention.
