+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
MISSING HARDEST SONIC LEVELS Altitude Limit - Sonic Rush Cannon's Core - Sonic Adventure 2 Central City (Hero) - Shadow the Hedgehog Cosmic Fall (Expert) - Shadow the Hedgehog Final Fortress - Sonic Heroes Lost Impact (Hero) - Shadow the Hedgehog Mad Space - Sonic Adventure 2 Planet Wisp (Classic) - Sonic Generations Showdown - Sonic Spinball Sky Deck - Sonic Adventure Tell me if I missed anymore.
+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.

Anyone know which the best sonic game is? I've only really played sonic 3, sonic heroes and half of sonic adventure DX. {oh and sonic 3d and sonic r. And shadow the hedgehog.]
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!

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
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.
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

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
Please tell me this is a joke! I liked this comment in case it is. Maybe it's not the easiest Sonic level of all time, but goddamn it, we (including mariotehplumber due to his biased love towards Sonic 1 for the SEGA Genesis although that game still deserves a lot of praise) had a simple time completing it!!!!
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
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....
+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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
I think Sonic 2 Death Egg Zone was probably hardest level for me. I've managed to get to Death Egg Zone without losing a life, but lost every single one of my 27 lives and continues to Mecha-Robotnik & Cyber-Sonic respectively
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.
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.
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.
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.
For me the hard part about metropolis zone isn’t the plat forming, it’s actually pretty fun, it’s that the same two annoying enemies spawn over and over again, the enemy with the homing blades, and the enemy that explodes after shooting in 5 directions, other than that, it’s pretty easy. (I beat it 2nd try on phone)
I don't think Scrap Brain Zone is terribly hard. A lot of the platforming is actually simple, but I think the environment, music, platform animations, and the pressure to not get a Game Over after making it so far makes it feel harder.
Sonic The Hedgehog I'm not sure if its only on the remake or they accidentally put it down but I was going high up and I fell down in act 1 found a checkpoint and fell off the side u have to explore the entire place
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
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 one level I consider difficult is death egg zone on Sonic 2 (Mega Drive game) - getting passed the Metal Sonic is easy, but when you get to giant Robotnik, it requires a particular way to jump: if you're successful, you bounce back clear, but mispronounce it and you fall onto the spiked arm. Especially with no rings to cover you.
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)
No Skydeck ( Sonic Adventure) and Rail Canyon/Bullet Station ( Sonic Heroes ) on this list😱 those levels almost made me throw my controller against the TV screen.
Scrap Brain Zone actually DOES have a few checkpoints. But in the first two acts, not the Labyrinth remake, the checkpoints are hard to find and not right in front of your face like in the other zones. Just feel lucky if you manage to find one.
Eggmanland: Wii/PS2: Hmm! Good level design, and is challenging but not too hard as to not scare away younger fans! Xbox360/PS3: OMG WTF? QUICKTIME EVENTS? HOLY SHIT THIS US SI DAMN HARD AND LONG OMFGGGG
@@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.
The first sonic game I ever played was Sonic Advance 3. I remember constantly raging at Angel Chaos Zone. Even the music was haunting. I should find my copy so I can play it again. I really liked the song in the Toy Zone. :03
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.
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
*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.
One level that made me rage a lot as a kid and haunts me still today is the lost world level with Sonic in Adventure DX especially when you have to unlock the door and go on that serpent.
