I let you here, see you next time
"Sega", we don't laugh here
Hi everyone it's Hooper
And as you can see
Today it's very serious : Sonic 2
Obviously the first sonic sequel
Released in 1992, christmas 1992 to be precise
a worldwide release, it's rare enough to be precised
From my point of view, as always during my videos
it's not the everybody's opinion
from my point of view it's the best sonic ever created
it's my best sonic and one of my top 3 Megadrive favourite games
I played so often, we'll see what is it
For the innovations, as you can see at the title screen there is a 2 players mode
But i'll talk about it later
What you have to know, in this sonic 2 you can play with sonic
With Tails, the little orange or brown stuff, I don't know what is this color
He is a 2 tails-fox, an endangered species
No joke with the 2 tailes-fox Please !
it's serious here, be careful ! it's serious with Hooper
So, this little stuff follows us, very funny
I always found it funny
Wait, I'll try to have the max of rings
To be able to show you the special stage
So, you see he follows us everywhere
As soo as I jump, he jumps
I have to obtain 50 rings
Wonderfull
Ring : 50, I can go to the special stage
What a talent this Hooper ! Nothing to add
Nothing to say I'm impressed of myself
So we are in the special stage
Wich is completely different from the first sonic
Special stages, always to gain the chaos emeralds
There are seven this time
We are in an "almost-3D stage"
You have to obtain the maximum of rings to obtain the chaos emerald
You have to be carefull, there are hidden everywhere
You have to be quiet vigilant
Sometime there are bombs on your way, you have to avoid it
Here, it's quiet easy because it's the first level
But later, it's almost impossible
Moslty because we have tails, and he's a little stupid
That's to say, he take more time than me to make moves
You see when I go on the right or left he takes more time than me the same thing when you jump
And I have bombs in front of me let's imagine that there are bombs in front of me
Tails Jump one second after me so he doesn't avoid bombs
So he loses Rings, when you touch a bomb you lose rings
So at the end I don't have enough rings to have the chaos emerald
So I would lost because of Tails
In this level it's impossible because it's very easy
I obtained the first chaos emerald
But in the others levels it's very difficult
But in the options you can decide to make the make only with sonic
Only with tails or with sonic AND Tails and at the origin it's Sonic and Tails
A lot of people complain about the fact that you play with sonic and tails
but don't forget that in the options you can choose to drop Tails, so it's not dramatic
Me, I always took him, because I found funny to play with him
And actually to try to trap him
I found this funny with our friend Tails
For example I try to jump in a hole to trap him and just before to fall
I go to the right and then he falls in the water, or a hole
He come back later thanks to his tails
No joke about 2 tails please, it's a serious show here !
So then for the principle
This monkey got me
Let's take shoes and lighting speed, let's go
I pushed start It doesn't matter, let's continue
Amazing speed !
I'm always on the Game cube
On the sonic mega collection thing
Something new I didn't show you
Here, If I were in sonic 1
To pass this looping I would be obliged to get some run-up
But look, I get down, hear the noise
Great, this is the Spin Dash
One of the new moves of this Sonic 2
the famous spin dash you get down ans you go
Like a canon ball, and it's change the life ...
This is the first boss, with an exellent music
The boss theme of sonic 2 for me it's the best theme of the game
I like a lot of music in this game
To die against this first robotnik version you have to suck, to be honest
I love that music I'll let you listen the music boss later
Let's destroy the capsule
We free little animals, little squerels
Little birds, so cute !!
It's the same story than in the first sonic
You have to free all little animals
They were transformed into robots, classical story
I love this second level : chemical plan
I don't care about passing upside
I forget that we have the spin dash
which allowed to be speedfull
I love this level, it's ultra speed
No, it's not this way, we can go both paths No you won't get me ! I got you
I knew you skill ! So i can get you first
What can I say more ?
Technically, the game is more beautiful than sonic 1
the game is more fluid, no slowing downs
I don't know if I have to go this way
let's get throwed with that
Let's go with that look this amazing speed
No ! I missed it
I don't really know where I have to go
I don't take this path in general
I'm lost
Be carefull here !
I hope I don't go back, I don't think so
It's very rare to go back in levels
You can see that there are no shelf space levels, exellent
you'll see in the next level aquatic ruin level I think
We have the choice between 3 or 4 diferent paths
I talked about the technical properties game
I took the longer path I wanted to take the quicker way but I took the longest
technically, there are more details in the decors
The animation is better than in the first
It's very fast as I said it's very speedfull
there are also more colors at the screen
The game is very wonderfull
For the level design, you can't do better
It's the top and we have fun
There is a 3d effect with sonic who makes rotations
Look out that spiders !
Ah ... I don't know to play anymore !
It's pretty, it's a beautiful game to watch Watch out the spiders !
Me, I love that Sonic I repeat myself
For the new things : a two players mode
With splitted screen
From my point of view I never understood this mod interest
Actually, it's a race, it's done in a very bad way
But it's very crushed like 16/9 in a cathode TV, very weird
I never had fun with this mod
No ! I got caught by the spider
You see there there are stars because I had more than 50 rings
I have 61 when you have more than 50 rings and you are at a lamp post
A kind of checkpoint you can enter in a special stage like I showed you, I'll don't show you again
No ! I was afraid to be dead but no
They put a trampoline for people who would fell in the water
Great, wonderfull technic
come on I want to do the Spin dash
Come on we have no time my little !
Hurry ! I shouldn't have to die
You see there are water levels when you are in the water you have a timer
with the 5,4,3,2,1.
what we have as new things ? I talked about spin dash, tails of course
2 players mode, yes, even here if we play like this
if someone took a second pad , he could play tails
The interest is quiet limited because the camera only follows sonic
It can be nice, if someone comes, he can play
It can help for the boss, even if him, he's very easy
Right, he's dead.
I'll show you later Sonic 2 is the first episode where ...
We liberate litlle bunnies and little eagles
It's the first episode where sonic can transformed himself in wait fort it...
....super sayaijin, from DBZ a huge wink for DBZ, very huge !
We were late 1992, it was the DBZ boom it was THE show
if it was told to me that in 2008 there would still be DBZ games, who would believe that
In 92, who believed that we'll have DBZ games in 2008
I'm doing bad things talking to you
It's pathetic I'm upset
This level is wonderfull Yes I was talking about the super sayaijin
When you have the 7 chaos emerald of the game
You will be able, having 50 rings and jumping to transformate sonic in super sayaijin
And it's excellent
But, it's so difficult to have the 7 chaos emeralds that, most of us
Discovered super sonic with the famous cheatcode that I'll show you at the end of the video
I try to go fast
This level has an amazing variety
We can be under water below or up, in the air, or half of both
It's amazing, there are 4 or 5 different ways to finish this level
It's easier to finish by the air, here I'm below
What can I say ?
Life expectancy, (hurry, a bubble!)
The game is longer and easier than the first sonic
There is no really challenge
He gots me, him with his arrows
Except for the last levels, (I take a bubble to not die)
Except for the last levels, the game will be quiet easy
I don't think that's a default
But if there is one default, it's this
An easiness too excessive
Generally, I finish this level in 2 seconds but here I took the path bellow
So I take longer time to finish it
Let's hurry !! Move on !!
It's the boss, I let you listen the music
Excellent theme, I remain to you that at the time
I was on the "nomad machine" and I did put the sound test
I listened some musics, included the boss theme
I also listened the mystic ruins music, excellent
I'll use a cheat code to show you other levels
Because I want you to see the casino night level
It's a quiet difficult cheat code, I did it before the video
We are already at 15 minutes and I want you to see the super warrior sonic
I love this level, it's excellent
There is such a variety, it's no linear and very vast
You can go very high, moreover the music is excellent
You see, there are paths everywhere up and down, jackpots
I took the less interessant way, below
Let's take the elevator
The number of paths into levels really grew up compare with the first sonic
It did already exist in the first but it's very vast here
I do nothing good !
I do bad things let's go up Come on ...
Come one ... I want you to see a flipper
You see these things, you can use it it will be retake in sonic spinball
Let's hope that there will be another flipper later ... let's go bellow
I didn't show you a flipper
there it is ! as usal, when you have 100 rings you win a "1up"
When you have the 3 robotniks (eggman) you lose your rings
I'll make this disapeared, and I'll show you the boss
I like it, I think that is my favourite boss
There is a little bug, I pass through the bumpers
There are 19 levels more than the first but the difference with the lattest
Is that there is more variety because there are more different environments
In the first sonic, you had only 6 different environments
And here you have nine
In the first sonic you had 3 levels in an environment, and a boss
Now, there are 2 levels
For me, it's getting better the replay value
It's funnier to have 2 levels and a boss
It's funnier to have 2 levels than three levels and a boss It's funnier
Sonic 2, it's THE fun game
I look my soluce cheat code : 4-1-2-6
Let's go back to emerald hill, the first level
When I have 50 rings, I could show super warior sonic
I want rings, give me rings Unless 50
A little tv with 10 rings inside
I don't take the shoe Gimme rings !
Got it, I got 50, as soon as I jump wonderfull transformation
Super sayaijin sonic I didn't want to go this way !
He's invicible and he can glibe
But there are a lot of bugs
He's twice faster, he jumps twice higher
I can't be killed by ennemies
The problem is that it's impossible to finish the game like this
The gameplay is too strange
Ok now I'll show you the last boss just for fun, and I'll stop
I did'nt talk about all I wanted to
Not very good video, but you saw the principal
There are two bosses, metal sonic (first apparition) he's cool
I let you here, see you next time
