This game has had so much put into it, that it’s basically done. I’m confident that the devs can just pronounce that it’s finished and stop working on it any time they want, and I think that would still be okay. And yet they won’t declare it done, and continue to keep working on it even after around 20 years of piecing it together. It’s been with us through most of the franchise’s history, it’s been there through some of the highest and definitely most (if not ALL) the lowest point that Sonic has ever been in. It’s a fan game that is more reliable than Sonic Team themselves, and that really says something. This is why I declare SRB2 as the best fan-game of all time. No other fan-game has ever come close to all the time and effort that has been put into it, and there’s no sign of that slowing down anytime soon. It is a shining example of the beauty that can come from the fans, and it’s an example of the potential that Sonic Team misses out on due to carelessness and incompetence.

Have you even STARTED with mods? They're the best part of the game. Lots of its issues are fixed by them, like for example the speed cap being really low, and others. There's also mods that add more characters to the game, mods that add levels, and mods that change the whole campaign to a new one!

I think, since the release of this video, they've actually included the 3D models for all of the non-mod characters and enemies (as well as some popular mod characters) as part of the "official" SRB2 download package, so you only need to download 3D models separately to go with certain mod characters like Modern Amy and the like. I think.

They're consistent, even more consistent then some 2D Sonic games.

Hopefully Nintendo doesn't hit this game with a c&d just because there's a Mario stage + music in here.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Recommended mods for vanilla playthroughs: 1: Classic Physics, the Momentum Mod, or equivalent. These mods allow the character to override the friction system when gaining speed at certain rates, or sometimes they simply restrict friction to be a static constant. In effect, it allows you to be affected by the momentum system to the fullest extent while running. I recommend Classic Physics because it also buffs rolling, changes the spindash, and lets you controll your character when jumping out of a roll. 2: Almost Software Shading. This is basically cel shading which obeys the palette, letting you have the vibrant look of Software mode with the 3D models of OpenGL mode. Mods like this have been possible since around 2.2.6, with the introduction of a built-in shader API. 3: Thok replacements if needed. Classic Physics removes the Thok, but you can assign any other ability to replace it. I personally recommend the various momentum-based Thoks, including the Juke Thok, the Momentum Thok, and the Spin Thok. 4: Any Lua you want to download or make. As l.ong as it doesn't meaningfully change the gameplay, it's fine!

The lives system is actually kind of important in No Save mode (where you have limited continues) and online multiplayer. In single player, you are booted back to the title screen if you Game Over with no continues, which means ALL your progress is instantly gone if you were in No Save mode (aside from unlockables earned). In Multiplayer, running out of lives more or less means you have to wait until everyone else finishes or runs out of lives (race mode), or someone can get a shared 1-up and instantly revive everyone (co-op).

Flame Shield from S3K it's present in the game too, you can find it in Haunted Heights Zone, as you see, the Elemental Shields from S3K it's only possible to find in the Extra Levels, like the Bubble Shield in Azure Temple Zone or Electric Shield in Aerial Garden Zone (and also the neutral shield from Sonic 1 and 2, but they are green). Also, i think the Magnetic Shield (the Yellow Shield) it's not the same shield from Sonic 3D Blast, it's like the Electric Shield, it atract rings! but you can use the ability to homing attack (but i think S3DB was the inspiration for this ability) it's a new shield, just like the Tornado Shield, Elemental Shield, Plasma Shield and Armagedon Shield. Also, in 2.2.8 now the 3D Models from Jack Jims are already in the game natively, but just for the characters in the game, if you want a model for a Mod Character (some model he already made) then you need to download Just wanted to say that, i liked the Review itself

Official shield names (should be obvious which is which) Whirlwind Elemental Armageddon Attraction Force (blue hexagonal) Pity (not in main campaign) Electric Fire Bubble Whirlwind's double jump is significantly different from the electric shield, as whirlwind leaves you open to attack, but can be used out of other actions like springs or ledges to give you a really good boost or save you on some jumps if you react fast enough!

honestly just watching this might make me pick the game back up, I initially dismissed it after playing for a few hours and saying to myself "yeah, the controls are kind of abysmal." like, literally every other part of the game (except for a few select boss encounters) was fine. it was just that the cast felt too slippery to reasonably control..

It's funny how you called Red Volcano "the mistake" and I completely get it, Red Volcano took me Hours to complete, and it's a pain in the anus.

I love Arid Canyon because of it's history: First you were going to have a Mine Maze Zone, but the level was scrapped, then a Rocky Mountain, but it was ALSO scrapped! But the team merged the levels to create a Sandy Canyon with a mine, besides, in the first versions of Arid Canyon, only Act 1 was there, and one of the main focuses of v 2.2 was to have the act. 2 and bringed back a gimmick that wasn't seen since the 1998 versions of the Mine level: the Minecart. But the boss was a big surprise. I won't spoil it but I can say it is from Triple Trouble.

Did you not play the tutorial?

Bare in mind, simple controls are not as smooth as full controls. It's much easier to redirect your momentum whenever you can control the camera with the mouse, since the camera's movement, while not having direct control over your direction, does influence it. Oh, and bind mouse 3 (scroll wheel click) to the change camera mode, so you can instantly toggle between first person and third person view to get a better look of what's around you, even while moving if you're skilled enough. Is it bad that I play this game WAY too much?

1:57 technically, the yellow shield is actually a different shield from the one in 3d blast, as this version also attracts rings.

If you're having trouble with platforming, there is an "automatic braking" option in the control setup menu

Was not aware of the option.

cool game, part of my childhood, and frustrating as fuck, also confusing, but fun, even more with mods

For the stopping there's actually a feature (and one the game advertises fairly well IMO) which is autobrake. You will come to a faster stop if you let go of all controls (pretty much, the game as if you're pushing the joystick/directions in the perfect opposite of the character's velocity, bringing them to the fastest stop possible) ! Overall, I'd recommend (if you want to keep playing it) trying as much as possible to not use the thok for last second saves and focus on getting into the habit of dropping all directional controls when you reach your destination. Using that method it becomes pretty easy pretty fast to stop on even the narrowest platforms accurately ! I think I'll wholeheartedly agree on the music favorites. The fact this game matches so much the ambiance of a 2D Sonic is amazing ! The NightS levels are weirdly annoying on a controller. I've done my first playthrough on KBM, and while I can work with both controllers or KBM for normal stages, I wouldn't dare attempt the 100% for Nights levels on a controller. The last secret Nights levels require such an amount of accuracy that is probably impossible to achieve on a controller ! Lastly for models I'd say it's really on a per-taste basis. For those who love pixel art and love 2D Sonic spritework, I'd say 2D is more than a good option. Sprites give you that more retro, classic Sonic vibe, while 3D models give you that chunky 3D Dreamcast era goodness. Both have merits in my regards (with the main bonus of sticking to 2D being having no weird 2D/3D mix when using mods, but that's only an issue with mods).

Ill mention that, even though the attraction shield is in some games, it never really had an ability "from what I know". Also you forgot to mention the fire shield. It works the same as it does in Sonic 3.

Yeah, but that one is self explanatory.

Did ANYONE AT ALL notice that final boss is metal robotnik

you forgot about the fire shield (i wont blame you I did for awhile until watching a tas of haunted heights because the fire shield is hidden so well you will never find it in a normal playthrough)

You know, I can't possibly play with 3D models, it just feels WRONG to me. XD They just don't feel as expressive as the 2D sprites!

You missed the Flame Shield from Haunted Heights Zone

The Real sheild names are: whirlwind sheild(gust sheild) armegadon sheild(nuke sheild) magnet sheild(electric sheild)

Those that are curious about the name "Speed Thok" . "His double-jump ability is the thok, named after the characteristic sound it makes"

Thank you! I'm thinking in playing it on my retro handheld

If you're able to play it, go for it. I just hope there are no issues with controls.

9:36 made me think you were going to talk about the modding community lol but seriously the amount of mods there are for this game is amazing

I don't want to give the modding scene so little time. I'll need a bunch of time to commit to that. A video on the mods will come at a later time.

Ah yes, everyone's "favorite" zone, "the mistake".

1:50 The gold shield is from Sonic 3d Blast. Hopefully you don't have a hundred comments already telling you that.

I honestly love this game, it feels great to finish a hard level

I remember I was doing the speedrun was mod and srb2 and then the game crashed and I couldn't continue cuz I was in a no save file

Pretty much agree with most of what you said here, although Deep Sea 2 will forever be my favorite in this level. Just a note, but 2.2.9 should make netgames a bit smoother as they're optimizing some stuff finally, but no promises because.. well.. SRB2's netcode is absolutely terrible. Also, I would recommend only playing with 3D Models if you're playing the vanilla game, because a LOT of mods don't support models and they're a lot harder to work with than sprites when it comes to modding. Besides that though, go ham.

Given Multiplayer has it's own types of special stages. I've pretty much only played those ones bcs I'm bad at the game in single player

I understand why u hated this game, I've recently tried for the first time and the controls can be confusing to learn and the levels can feel a bit to big and easy to get lost (for me anyways) Lol

See your live stream is redhotsonic there?

You missed the flame shield in haunted heights

Frank's nickname for a shield / the real name Yellow shield / attraction shield Flaming water shield / elemental shield Air or gust shield / wind shield Double shield / force shield Radioactive shield / Armageddon shield A few things about the shields, and other aspects of the game... The force shield can halt your momentum from all directions, in addition to giving 2 free hits The attraction shield also attracts rings much like the lightning shield, but also protects from electric hazards, and disappears in liquids. There is a S3 fire shield in the game. But by default, it only appears in certain spots of Haunted Heights Zone. Both the bubble shield and elemental shield can protect players from certain water based hazards such as green chemicals in Techno Legacy Zone. (Or purple chemicals in the old 2.0 versions of the game) Lastly, the most important part... For the true intended experience, don't use simple controls. Whether it's a controller, or mouse and keyboard, don't use simple. While it may allow certain abilities to have 360 control, it often works against you, especially since abilities like Sonic's Thok, and Knuckles glide, are designed in the normal and strafe schemes to only go the direction the camera is facing. This is why trying to correct an overshot jump with either of these moves is often a death sentence, since they were first made for fixing undershot jumps. Especially with the Thok's immense speed, which is equal to Sonic's speed sneaker speed. Try to relearn the game with normal controls. Sure, you'll have to do all of your own camera work, but it's more than worth it once you master it.

I've been told about the shields before, which is pretty neat. They're all really good. As for the controls, I'll stick to what feels good to me. The "true intended experience" is a thing I've heard for so long and I really don't care. Simple works for me, so that's what I use.

5:27 "the mistake" Ok, I forgive your mistake. That's the best level in the game

Also the most unfair Please fix your mistakes Also make act 2 soon

Let's see. Special stages 6 and 7 absolutely suck, the controls are equivalent to an all ice level, the navigation and requirements to the special stages are a pain, and on top of that the second coin in that damn purple slime zones 1 and 2. Special stage 7 made me feel so much hate.

You should try the other control type. The one which descriptions says "This game is meant to be played like this", I forgot the name. And it's true! I know it's weird to play a Sonic game like an fps platform, but SRB2 is special. You should know this by now.

None of them say "This game is meant to be played like this." One of them says it resembles the original controls, so you might be referring to strafe. Anyway, I use simple because I'm more comfortable using a controller, which works really well.

srb2 is one of the only sonic games where i FEEL like the sonic cd opening at times which is all i've ever really wanted from a sonic game

Since 2.2.7, models were pre-bundled
