In 10th place we'd have Arsenal Pyramid but it got cancelled on Twitter for posting slurs. I originally praised it for having a cool change of aesthetic and some simple but enjoyable platforming sections with the gears inside the pyramid, while lamenting that more wasn't done with the concept. Now that it posted slurs on Twitter though, I just don't know how to look at it anymore.

Mania is honestly my favorite iteration of Green Hills. I absolutely loved how the developers made Act 2 dramatically different enough to feel fresh again. Oddly enough, Frontiers 1-1 would be high on my list given the much more serious tone making it clear it wasn't going to be your usual journey.

i highly agree with the thing about frontiers, entering 1-1 initially had me groaning in dismay at another green hill level, but the music was so intense and honestly kinda scary to the point where that was what i focused on more than the actual aesthetic of the stage

I swear this stage is more iconic than 1-1 from the Mario series.

26:47 I felt the opposite sentiment. I thought the gameplay really hindered the exploration factor of the SA2 levels. Going for the red rings felt awkward due to the lack of camera control and poor turning making turning around to jump on a platform behind me lead to my death half the time.

Cyber Space 4-5 i believe takes *elements* from Cool Edge Act 4 in terms of the main gimmick but its moreso elements, for the most part it's original Also I agree on the SA2 level design complimenting the Frontiers physics! I wish we got more SA2 level design than Unleashed or Generations honestly, because they were levels that were never experienced with boost in their original level design We ended up getting City Escape, Metal Harbor, Sky Rail, Green Forest, and Radical Highway but I would've killed to see Final Rush or White Jungle at the very least I think it's pretty clear the only reason SEGA chose Unleashed, Generations and SA2 level design for Cyber Space is because they're fully aware those 3 games are mostly praised for their level design alone

Just about to watch the video. I hope he remembers Sonic Battle's Green Hill stage!

Honestly, if the physics weren't so bad, Heroes would go from my bottom 3, to my top 3 easily. The stage design, music, etc. are amazing in Heroes, but the "death by physics" aspect kills it for me.

This Green Hill Cyberspace level that's only drift is not from Skyscraper Scamper, is from Savannah Citadel. There is an option stage that you only have to drift until the end. It's basically the same thing.

Thank you, finally someone else who remembers my boy.

The way SEGA is treating Green Hill these days always reminds me of that one line in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy about bypasses... Why build a Green Hill stage? "Well, it's a Green Hill stage. You've got to build Green Hill stages."

Sonic Forces Speed Battle is basically an online racing game, not an endless runner. There's multiple tracks with the aesthetic of Green Hill from Forces, as well as other locations, and each one offers a different challenge to run through.

3-5 is based on Savanna Citadel act 2

What about the fighting games?! Sonic Battle had a version of Green Hill Zone. Sonic the Fighters had a South Island stage which aesthetically only represented green hill zone. Not to mention the Green Hill Zone stage in Smash Bros. Brawl, ultimate and 3DS.

It's not called Green Hill or Hills, so it doesn't meet his list criteria.

Another new thing that mania green hill zone has is corkscrews, the Original never had them, the first time they appeared was in emerald hill in sonic 2, it really helps to make act 1 in mania a bit more unique.

6:20 On the 28th position: Green Hill is looking a lot more like Sand Hill right now!

Cyberspace 3-5 is actually based off Savannah Citadel Day Act 2

Say Pup, are you ever gonna make a Sonic Chronicles vid?

It's interesting that you picked green hill 3D from generations. It's an awesome fun stage with even more awesome music but it's very easy and to me feels very much like a tutorial level, which it effectively is as it teaches you the 3d mechanics. But hey good game. Agree on green hill from Mania. Next video idea: rank all the different musical versions of the green hill theme music! Again I think it's going to come down to Mania, Generations, and Sonic 1..

You forgot Green Hill Zone from Genesis GBA. It deserves recognition as one of the worst versions of the stage. Maybe it's the same level design with terrible screen crunch and wonky physics, but that alone helps it stand out more than some of these versions. Just not in a good way.

I can’t believe sega has given us so many green hill zones to the point we get a video like this

Fun fact: 3-5 isn't the only place sonic can drift, super sonic also has the drift

Wheres sonic prime green hill (I probably missed it i just skipped a whole lot)

I think I would love a video looking at the amount every level that occurs more than once appears and which one overall has appeared the least overall, and look at the possible candidates that honestly need some love instead of repeatedly beating the charm that some levels had the first few times like a dead horse hoping it'd get up and run again. But yeah I need my baby marble zone ;w; I just want in 3D and remixed once lmao

Green hill is back

0:33 Someone who never heard of Green Hill: What?

I agree with your opinion ☺️

Good one, friend :-)

3-2 Cyberspace is annoying as it feels like controlling Sonic on ice but worse. It is is easier to S rank the stage by deliberately jumping over the drift panels. I love Sonic Frontiers, except for that stage. You know that it was an experimental lecel that they never fleshed out and maybe even forgot about.

It wouldn’t be a sonic game without a hill in the beginning stage

I would always jump over the drift pads in cyberspace 3-5 it was just so much faster and easier to control

I gotta know the song you use in your intro/outro it sounds so chill

Haven't even started it yet... but the fact that this video is 30 minutes long really shows either how long a video this is or how many green hills there are...

here for moral support for my favorite gray dog

Pup and every sonic fan: please, no more green hills zone. Sega: what? you want a whole game of green hills zones? But in all seriousness great video.

Me: Waiting for the day T-Pup realizes there is a Green Hill in Sega Superstar Tennis.

I'm subscribed

Mind, the 8 bit version of Sonic 2 is much more playable in the Master System, although that still requires level memorization to get to the emeralds.

Ok. Now do it alongside Green Hill-likes

Mania's and Generations' versions of Green Hill are my favorite versions of this stage

At 18:00 he said ''generations instead of "frontiers" Editer "that's weird"

yeah my biggest gripe with the CyberSpaces is that they removed the SetPiece while keeping the gameplay section, that & them picking the more Boost section while the gameplay formula is clearly geared towards the SA2 mentality of "Fast is a reward for a consistent pace"

24:22 while it's not exactly a 1 to 1 copy, or even close to a copy tbh, this level in particular seems to take inspiration from cool edge act 4 (sonic unleashed HD) as for the level that's entirely based on the drift, its actually based on savannah citadel act 2 with some alterations.

So uh......... Didn't you forget about Arsenal Pyramid in Forces?

Cyberspace 3-5 is based on Mazuri act 3

Yeah uhm btw the cyberspace Level that’s all drifting, it ain’t based on empire city, it’s based on Mazuris drift stage where it’s all drifting

“The hay in the needlestack”

24:53 This looks very reminiscent of some old Sonic dash levels. I'm sure there were several different iterations of it throughout the updates. I've not played it since lost world came out though so don't hold me to that. From what I remember, every so often there was a super ramp where you got big air and had to choose one of 3 paths to land on (while in the air you could do tricks to help fill your boost gauge). The zone was mostly a straight line with the occasional loops and jumps but it was mostly about side -stepping, jumping, and sliding. It also had occasional boss fights.

Modern Green Hill from Generations HD is rightfully deserved as the number 1 spot

Frontiers 1-1 is so basic that my friend who hasn’t played a Sonic game since Rush was able to get an A rank on it in less than 10 minutes

Green Hill Zone theme hits too hard

Oh green hill...I just to get hype but know I wonder what sega is doing all I want is more iconic stages not already existing ones haha

I hope Frontiers 2 has only Green Hill stages now

How did I know sonic chronicles ghz would be last XD I think it's a fun enough area to run through in the game and has some nice backtracking and it's nice to start off with something familiar in Chronicles.

Fact in green hill act 2 in mania if you go to the left you see the beginning of act 3 from sonic 1 so act 2 in mania is a act 3 remix

They seriously need to bring a different Classic Stage back in games or use none at all because we need variety again, make things feel fresh and original.

On the drifting level I actually just used light speed dash to go through all the rings and my boost to skip the drift pads. Way faster.

Take a drink every time you hear green hill

my favorite green hill is generations act 1 i realy love that game and my favorite boost style stage is green hill act 2 of generations

if green hill zone is to stay witch it probably is, i hope they make a open zone out of it

@yucelonmaz2

Жыл бұрын

Me too

We need Emerald Hill to return

While I generally agree with the order of things, there are two points of contention I have with the list: 1. Cyberspace levels. Several of those are just recreations of previous levels in the series, at which point can we _really_ call it a Green Hill if someone just painted those assets over existing architecture? 2. Classic levels. In my mind, a Zone is a World consisting of up to three Acts, which are Levels. Lumping them together simply because they play the same doesn't really make sense when Generations guarantees you're going to split worlds up anyway. Bonus Thought: Lego Dimensions is an odd candidate, since unlike every other level (put your hand down Chronicles, yours is just a setting and not a level at all), the "main point" is NOT to get to the end. Instead, because it's a Lego game, the importance is in finding all the things. Completely different considerations. Of course, it's also only PART of a level, so...

I won’t say it was the Most Amazing, but I feel like Mecha Green Hill from Sonic Chaos should be included. It was Similar to Oil Ocean in spots but still had the Green Hill Aesthetic but more mechanical.

Interesting #1. Not bad at all or anything, I really like it. Mania was the "easy" choice for top spot, since it's so beloved by so many, but that would've been a bit boring.

Surprised you didn't mention the Smash stage

And then it somehow shows up that the next Sonic game is in 20 years so it they can add Green Hills 😂

now do this for chemical plant

Kinda funny to think that there are levels named "hill" with barely any hills.

I don't mind them having Green Hill come back a lot, I mean how many times has Mario done world 1-1 but the other repeat levels bug me

You forgot about Neo Green Hill Zone from Sonic Advance

I think that Cyberspace 45 from Sonic Frontiers might be based a little off of Sky Sanctuary Act Two from Sonic Generations, though IDK.

0:27 Yeah, that IS kind of his thing. Well, in addition to going really fast.
