BAEST MODE!!!


We wrap up Sonic's Very Hard DLC with Kingdom Valley and Aquatic Base and Sonic Team had some fun with these! Kingdom Valley is full of dick moves and mind boggling ideas while Aquatic Base is full of glitches I'll exploit with gems! I didn't think the DLC could get worse but Shadow's proved me wrong. That's why in the next update we'll tackle Silver!

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
It was hard not to notice, especially since it's way louder than what the game audio should be, it just didn't seem worth pointing out.

e: Admittedly, I didn't notice that it's an original song.

It's going to pay off eventually--I'm sure of it.

Any day now.

Yeah... I totally didn't notice. If you'd done it the second time I might have, but after twice I totally blocked the music out of my mind.

I knew you put in music there, but I kinda figured you just grabbed some random tune.

Anyway, in light of the information about sonic's weight, I figured I should update Sonic the Actually a Hedgehog to reflect this new found knowledge.

I was wondering why the song was infinitely more enjoyable this last time around. Kudos to Buddy.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

I'm midway through the second Very Hard video and I only now notice that they removed the boss fights as well. Shows how forgettable the bosses were.

But just imagine what a slog it would be to have very hard mode boss fights. Like, Egg Cerberus! But there's spikes on his back when you try to grind up the tail! Fun!

You think this is a joke but I guess I'll have to post some video of Rouge a Shadow section where I came upon something like that.

I think some of you misunderstand what this DLC does. It just literally adds a Very Hard option to the existing Normal and Hard ones when selecting to replay a level you've already played before. They don't force you to play the levels in order, or go through the plot again, or anything like that.

The hard-mode DLC has just been like a poorly made Kaizo Romhack so far. So perfect for Sonic 2006. :v:

Also, since Tails is so terrible in this game, I think this gif is just right.

Silver's Very Hard Mode time! I did this as a complete (mostly) blind run so if there was any confusion over how the DLC works this should eliminate it. If you've missed out on the bonus videos and Silver's various glitches you'll get to see most of them in action here! Unfortunately my fingers were a bit off and I couldn't do the teleport through doors glitch as often as I wanted.

The OP should be updated with all the gifs and art made. I didn't realize there had been so much!

I was hoping they would make a billiards section where glitching through the door was impossible. But I guess I was expecting too much from Very Hard Mode.

I would say the DLC is better than the main game. No stupid town hub world, no idiot sidequests, fewer loading screens, they even got rid of the lovely ball puzzle. And none of the terrible bosses.

The town hub, sidequests and bosses are still there, and probably the loading screens too.

It's just that Massrafter unlocked the levels in the normal playthrough and is now starting them from the level select menu. If you were to download the DLC without having finished the game, you'd probably have to play through everything.

So it's a perfect ladder for the good game "Sonic 2006".

Look it's Soleannan culture to have dysfunctional ladders don't criticize their culture!

Could you cut that .gif short slightly, so it ends when Silver gets exploded? Or cut in the red barrel explosions or something. I just want to see Silver get infinitely exploded forever. Also, I wish I understood whatever wizardry is used to make and edit .gifs.

Sure, but the game doesn't usually punish you for actually attacking with most characters. Blaze is a fast, close-range fighter that will die if you are fast or up close.

The game is poo poo, but this just stood out to me as one more weird poo poo cherry.

Does Blaze's spinning dive even do damage, or is that a traversal thing?

It is basically a really floaty, slow homing attack, but like Shadow's chaos homing attack, if it has valid targets it goes super fast... like, I think it just snaps the camera to the enemy being hit?
