I'm sure Dimps thought that in 2005

That DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald is the White Emerald, located in Bullet Station. It looks more white than it does gray.

Surprisingly enough, power types are really good for getting the chaos emeralds. I guess their good enough speed and wider range of balloon collecting makes them really great, especially with the finicky controls.

We can all agree with an igniting passion the Sonic Heroes Special Stages are the worst. But the reason I think so is yes the controls and set up, but in terms of what order it goes in, it's just not right. The Seventh Emerald is the easiest to obtain, yet the Third Emerald is the hardest!

The third one is easy to get into if you think of which team you choose. Team Rose has a challenge mode where you collect 200 rings,so if you get the key before that, you can get to the Special Stage fast and easy, especially when you're in a Casino stage.

The worst part about the special stages is that they are REQUIRED to beat the game. Unfortunately I realized this right as I finished all of the stories.

I was never able to complete these, cant wait to see what happens!

the act 1 music is so good. I could listen to it all day

all of these where nightmares!

15:49 Special Stage 7 here was a bit luck involved, but hey still awesome and entertaining to the end nice

The music is great...but is awful hard because when you dash the controls doesnt respond acordingly...they should make a 2 stages for fly, power and speed, last chaos esmerald could had been a secret boss and done

Still love this game I still own it

God I wish I had this on GameCube instead of ps2 😭 I still loved the game when I was a kid but JESUS this runs like butter. For those who haven't played it, the PS2 port of Heroes plays like a bowl of nails without any milk

All sonic music is elite, we know this. But this fucking song is on another level. Takes me to a heavenly place I’m not kidding

I love these special stages

Probably my favourite special stages after playing the pc port. I’ve always had problems with the console versions with kid me and now even current me fighting the special stage controls, especially on the ps2 port lmao. I don’t get any problems with the pc port at all, and that makes it so much more fun. And the hype music getting my heart pumping every time with each of these makes them even better

I think spamming the B/Square/X button is much more effective than holding it, but that's just me.

Still can't figure out the point of the chao's, and why Fly & Power formation were canceled out by them.

Good times, I played a lot of sonic heroes on ps2, I got it will be 100% again, this spectacular video, like

The memories😢 Sonic legacy has been ruined since 2010 to the present now.

So let I get this straight, you have to beat the special stages only once no matter what team you play as? If you beat them all as only one team, then you don't have to do it over again as each team, right? If so, then I don't need to worry about it.

The fact that you have to get the chaos emeralds along with beating the game 4 times just to get to the final story segment is hellish

These stages are the absolute worst. The physics are wack, the act of moving side to side without hitting a mine or slowing down for no reason is borderline impossible, and especially the Emerald Challenge, the Emeralds move WAY too fast. Is there an easy way to beat these?

Still cant reach yellow emerraw -,-
