How Sonic sees it: _"Get 180 Rings!"_ How Tails sees it: _"Get 180 Bombs!"_

As the perennial player two: "Do everything you can to avoid bombs." I was too dumb as a kid to recognise patterns.

It appears that your wife is slowly making you recreate the entire Sonic 2 soundtrack She knows the power that she holds and she’s using it for good

I swear, you’d have to have Tails’ 300 IQ to be able to beat the Special Stages in the original Genesis release of Sonic 2.

I’m pretty sure Dr Eggman has the IQ of 300.

Especially because they start putting the bombs behind the curves of the track so you have no chance to react to them. And plus there’s Tails’ lag.

To be honest, there were times when this stage itself was so painful that I felt like I was going to get PTSD, but I can't beat this exhilarating song It's addictive. Great cover!

Some games use super relaxing music for frustrating stages. Sonic 2 was too cool, and used a thrilling song instead. 😎

Roses are red, Violets are blue, I love your sonic covers, hope everyone else does too

Your wife always has brilliant tastes, man.

That half pipe was as brutal as the cover 🤘

This remix was great! Happy Valentine's Day to you and your wife!

Ooh I'd be jamming this for ten hours some days when I'm on a busy trip.

I was hoping that your wife would go for Chemical Plant or Mystic Cave if she chose a Sonic 2 song again, but y'know what this works. Great job as always!

This will never not sound like a church sound to me😊

Really glad Tails didn’t mess up this cover.

Dang! Nostalgia hits Diff after Johnny managed to Remix an Sonic 2 Special Stage, even I'm 19 but... The music suits very well!

Ah yes the music of me having Tails crash into so many bombs so I wouldn't get an emerald, brings back many memories

Another banger for the books! Given that Sonic 2 was the first Sonic game I've ever played, this tune never left me even 30 years later. You've done great service for aging Sonic fans like myself! Kudos! 🤘🏾🤘🏾

This is somehow simultaneously excellent, and also giving me this foreboding sense of nostalgic anxiety.

Every vintage Sonic cover you do makes me smile like a kid

btw it’s the 1st sonic movie’s 3rd anniversary, so this is pretty fitting.

What a treat to have pop into my feed! These special stages, especially some of the later ones, are a truly mind-bending thing to behold and experience when you have to focus on them really hard and are quite difficult I might add. Completing these as Sonic with the Tails AI who seems determined to sabotage you as much as possible is a point of pride for me. The theme for them, much like this remix, is an absolute banger and I can't wait to replay this over and over!

As something I'd love to hear you do a remix of in the future, Dancing Dragon Dungeon from Oracle of Seasons would be absolute fire with your skill

Ah yes, the theme of getting that damn FOURTH Chaos Emerald. Happy Valentines to you and your wife!

Absolutely stellar. I think this may be one of my favorite covers you’ve ever done, and I do not say that lightly.

🤘 HUZZAH! One of my favorite special stage themes gets an awesome remix! Great job, man! 🤘 Here are some other tracks I would love to see a Gametal remix of. (★=Favorite) ★ C&C Renegade Soundtrack - Stomp ◆ Super Mario World/Fortune Street - The Evil King Bowser (Boss Theme) ◆ Sonic Heroes - Final Fortress Zone ◆ Kirby Star Allies - The Final Push (Friend Star) ◆ Godzilla Unleashed - Mecha King Ghidorah's Theme (Main Menu Theme) ◆ Sonic Heroes - Team Chaotix Theme ◆ Sonic Advanced 3 - Special Stage Theme ◆ BattleTanx: Global Assault - Main Theme ◆ Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire - Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza Theme

Happy Valentine’s Day! Also these special stages gave me a run for my rings, literally.

Thank you for linking the shirt in the description cuz' I immediately needed to know where to get that. Oh, the cover was good too!

Your wife has amazing taste! Sonic 2 was my first Sonic game, and this tune was a favorite of mine, especially when playing with my sister way back in the day. Happy Valentine's Day!

A cover done on Valentine's Day? Sure thing, anybody can live with that. Even if you didn't have any chaos emeralds, you'd still have the stamina to get this remix done by all means.

One of my FAVORITE tracks from the game and you just decided to fire it up. SHEESH! Let's goooooooooooooo. Gotta go fast!

Happy Valentine's Day Jonny, I hope you and Sharice have a great one! :D Also this is absolutely phenomenal, as usual! You did such an amazing job on it!

The reason why you need to play as Sonic 1 alone in the options if you plan doing the special stages.

I was literally just playing Sonic 2 on Genesis Switch Online yesterday, the universe must've read my mind or something?

I love this special stage tune so much! Hot take: I like this song more than Sonic 3's

Happy Valentines to you and your wife. Did not expect this banger of a song as a cover.

Perfect valentines music

Sharice Atma Sounds like an alien princess!

Yeah I expected nothing else. Bravo Jonny.

Happy Valentines Day GaMetal! I may not like these stages, but I love the music.

GaMetal can now be Super GaMetal !

Wowowoww. This brings me back. Such a nostalgia bomb and amazing cover as always, sir! :D

I just found you guys through your Lost in Thoughts All Alone collab because the FE:Engage electric guitar version of that song was way too short and you are so underrated??? Your stuff all fucking slaps and I can't wait to see what you do in future

I wish I could give 1 Million likes right now. This hit my Nostalgia home so much. I would've NEVER expected for this to pop up on my Feed. As someone who grew up with Sonic 2 Personally, the secret Stages were always a hard point for me till I matured and grew to learn how to play the Stages really well. I still to this day, always do it on the Run I play it over and over again lol. That being said, what a Great way to continue my Day, Thank you so much for always coming up with such Great and Nostalgic Remixes for us, while keeping it Modern and your own Version. Appreciate you so much!

I was certainly not expecting this next, especially since I thought that the Gamecube Medley was next. However, I guess it wouldn't be the theme of a secret stage if it weren't a "secret" of its own, eh? Anyways, great cover as usual! The guitar sounds great, the solo is great, the visuals are really good, and yeah, this was a great way to commemorate Valentine's Day and your relationship with your wife Sharice! May you have a happy Valentine's Day together! Now, for requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4. Barok van Zieks ~ Grim Reaper of the Old Bailey (The Great Ace Attorney Adventures) 5. Morpho Knight (Kirby Star Allies/Kirby and the Forgotten Land) 6. Smart Race (Deltarune Chapter 2) 7.

Welp here we go again btw amazing remix and happy Valentine's day to y'all PS:yes I dream about the special stages and here this all the time in my head LoL

killing it as always! loved sonic 2's soundtrack for sure and what a sweet metal take on the bonus stage music!

always love your videos so much enthusiasm behind your performances too like you actually have fun doing this, why i subbed long ago keep it up!

After playing Sonic Origins and playing Sonic 2 6 times, getting all emeralds and messing up LOTS of times... This song never got old despite that for me.

This is epic!!! Congrats! Took me back many years also...i was very good at these special stages:)

The guitar, bass, and drums rock as always, but your synth playing really shines on this one. Love how you trade the melody back and forth between guitar and synth. Awesome cover!

I would like to request 'Scrap and build ourselves' from Eternal Sonata. The game was made about Chopin and as such has many of his great compositions. The final boss theme, which I am requesting uses 'Revolutionary etude' as the base, with Motoi's Sakuraba remixing it to sound even more awesome and epic.

I maintain that Sonic Rush is the best halfpipe in the series. You can't change my mind. Requesting Ark Mall from Astral Chain.

Found my new cardio song to loop for an hour.

Sonic 2 is the only Sonic where you do Emerald Hills and can get all Emeralds on the stage alone.

If this actually played in the Sonic 2 Special Stages, I might actually be able to tolerate them, knowing I’d at least have one thing to enjoy about them.

The best covers can have the power to make you love a composition you previously weren’t crazy about

Always a challenge for the last two stages. This cover is cool! Definitely amazing talent you have Sir, a great taste in games too!

I see you smiling while performing. You enjoyed making this cover.

*Me in my 30s running full tilt in the drainage half pipes*

Happy Valentine's Day Jonny!!! This. Is. Awesome!!!!

Ah, the found memories of not knowing how to beat this cuz it looked so good and had a banger of a track.

I was hoping to hear the little chime at the end when you do end up obtaining the emerald. Solid video nonetheless 👍

Hell yeah! Love it! And I'm glad, not that I'd expect any less, that you have the opener for the stage included in the mix. These stages were tough, but I remember them fondly!

still the best special stage theme, great cover!

I'm running a video game and demoscene metal DJ set in July and this just made the list, can't wait to share it!

I saw the title and gasped in joy x3 Sonic 2's Special Stage music is the BEST out of all the others. Fight me, don't care. It's the best.

Sonic 2 Tails Only Run. Based as fuck

I am very happy for what I'm seeing in the teaser. Keep up the amazing work man

A true classic, your wife has good taste Suggesting the Overworld theme from Faxanadu on NES

Never knew I wanted to hear this until you made it! Love it from beginning to end!

Nice job as always!

Only improvement I can think of would be to include the Chaos Emerald Get jingle at the end.

HELL YEAH!!! WOOOHH!! ANOTHER BANGER JONNY!!! Speaking of Sonic, think we could get some more? Like Vela-Nova and Vela-Nova (Part 2)? That would be amazing in your style! Keep up the good work Jonny!

this is a very good remix! I'd love to see a remix of the grodus fight from paper mario the thousand year door!

it really boggles my mind how you guys joined in 2012 with these amazing game covers and have ONLY 200K SUBS.

The only time I ever beat most of these unaided (no save state or rewind) was back in the day when I was playing the Knuckles mode (hooked to S&K). I got every one EXCEPT the last emerald, and on my last shot, my dad realized that A) I'd sat around doing nothing but that all day and B) my homework wasn't done and my recent report card was abysmal. He turned the system off and packed it up.

When the RINGS are NOT ENOUGH!!😳😳 *Slapped* Ow. I'll stop. Happy Valentine's to you and Sharice as well, Jonny!

Now I need the Blue Spheres track xD

all I can think about is tails bumping into the bombs happy Valentine’s Day, this cover is awesome

Production quality shooting to greater heights

Fun and energetic remix to an already fun and energetic track, though I'm sure people had nightmares of completing all the special stages considering some of the ring goals. And a Happy Valentine's Day to you too. ^ ^

beautiful. could never get that last damn emerald :'(

The sheer fucking JOY I feel when I hear this shit…. :)

Tails-only playthrough to make sure Tails doesn't dive headlong into the bombs. Nice

Hope to see one day the second theme of Dark Matter in Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon , it's such a beautiful battle theme

I just drove through the winding coast of California to this song!! ❤‍🔥🔥

takes me back to being 8 or 9 years old and grinding out all the chaos emeralds

Bruh you wouldn't by chance feel like making a trippy surreal maybe metal version of the first special stage from 1???!? 🌌 ✨ LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO OMG YOURE THE BEST . I am having a blast rn 😅😂❤❤❤

Ok now, THIS is a real blast to the past. I have tears of joy man
