The fact that I stumbled on the discovery that Pink Spikes could in fact spindash once after it comes in contact with a surface certainly helps, as well as that well-timed spindash+jump combos could clear entire sections in one go. (For the record, I beat that missions S-Rank by almost a full minute once I got a good run in.) Act 2, however, can go fuck itself. On a side note, upon starting my hunt for Red Star Rings, or rather after I gathered five from one level, I discovered that this is another way to get new abilities for each Sonic. Getting all five in Chemical Plant Zone Act 1 nets you the Breath Holder ability, which lets you stay underwater longer before needing to grab a air bubble. I haven't gotten them all yet, but I've got around 60 or so so if I ever get my ass in gear I'll find out what the rest are. (That goddamn Planet Wisp Act 1 Doppelganger mission should give me plenty of practice to find its Red Rings...)

Act 1 gave me the most trouble. But if it helps, study this guy: Edited by Arem, Jan 31 2012, 10:58 AM.

You didn't see it much, but there are tons of those rocket-launchers inside the factory, and most of them you can't see until you accidentally step on them. Thankfully, most of them are scripted, so they don't really go off unless your close by. Like I said before, it took some time before I got half-way decent at the level and knew what to expect.

This doesn't really look all that different from some of the later stages in the early Sonic games.

Also "Sega Confirms 1.63 Million Copies of Generations Sold in 2011" Quote: Minutes ago, Sega Sammy released its third quarter earnings report. It turns out VGChartz.com and our end-of-year guesstimate stemming from those unofficial numbers wasn�t far off at all. Officially, Sega Sammy reports a total of 1.63 million copies of Sonic Generations were sold worldwide through the end of 2011. That number is a combined figure for XBOX 360, 3DS, PC, and Playstation 3 across all regions. January sales figures are not included in the figure; the tally only runs through December 31st. For reference, VGChartz estimated 1.5 million copies were sold worldwide through Christmas Eve. From that, we pegged the end-of-year figure to be in the 1.6-1.7 million range. That number, while strong on the surface, is actually somewhat disappointing on comparison. Consider that Sonic Colors, which was released only to Nintendo Wii and DS, officially racked up 1.85 million copies sold in the same time period during 2010�and that was with one to two weeks less of sale in some regions, compared to Generations. Also disheartening to an extent is the comparison of this number to the official number to Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, which through December 31 was only on Wii. (It still is until next week.) Sega officially says 2.39 million copies of that game were sold worldwide through December 31st, and again keep in mind M&S 2012 released 1-2 weeks after Generations in most territories. We�ll have a full breakdown of the numbers from Sega Sammy�s Q3 report later today. On first glance, there are some bright spots, but where Consumer Business is concerned, the numbers were not great.

That's 30-60 million dollars they're talking about for Generations alone. That's fantastic for a video game! Edited by Arem, Feb 3 2012, 12:37 PM.

Raining on your parade with a truckload of awkward awesomeness. Posts: 4,950 Group: Elite Member #70 Joined: November 11, 2009	I honestly feel like I'm starting to hate speedruns in Sonic games. Especially these ones. Edited by Luffy Foxtrot, Feb 3 2012, 03:38 PM.

Fabulous Homosexual Posts: 6,262 Group: Elite Member #59 Joined: November 9, 2009	Well, that explains the very low times I've been seeing on that level.

GALACTUS Posts: 1,659 Group: Elite Member #63 Joined: November 9, 2009	...Holy shit. I didn't even know about that first Helicopter, and I was wondering why there was a dash ring down there. The rest of it... That was just exploitation. Edit: Now that I think about it, I'm curious about some of the posted times in the 3DS version too. My best run of Big Arm is 27 seconds (Score two hits while it's hovering at the top, two more once it's down, smack it once more just before it flies off, get hit and retaliate for one more, then finish it off), but the top score is 22.

In fact, if I ever go back and do levels, I'd probably spend more time on them and explore areas I've never been to. Seriously, that's infinitely more fun.

Master Posts: 403 Group: Elite Member #69 Joined: November 11, 2009	Though I don't really take Yahtzee's reviews seriously, he brings up a good point: Why is there a Sonic Next Gen level in the game, given that nobody liked the game and that it literally wrote itself out of the continuity at the end? How did the Time Eater even absorb an event that never happened storyline-wise, and why did they decide to make it the hardest goddamn level in the game for Classic Sonic (I'm not even going to try with Modern Sonic until I get a controller). I think I died more on Crisis City than I had on every single level up to that point combined, plus Rooftop Run (I've yet to play Planet Wisp)
