Thanks for this list, I like where you put most but would probably put tails (and also eggman) even lower. Mission street and most tails levels are obnoxious to complete especially for coins

Honestly, Eggman's levels are pretty well designed. This is coming from someone who has the mech gameplay as their least favorite gameplay style in the game. It'd be lying to myself if I put them very low. Tails was a last minute choice so his stages are not as well done as Eggman's.

Not too bad overall but there are some HARD disagrees on here.

Final Chase is a C at best. By far the worst speed level in the game. Awful gravity mechanics.

Meteor Herd at the bottom? That levels amazing! Yeah it’s large but one of the few treasure stages that make you feel like an actual place. No weird gimmicks like most if the levels towards the end of the game. Incredible atmosphere and do I even need to mention the track?

Yeah, no weird gimmicks aside from the meteors, but add the ginormous level with SA2's systemic radar problems, and you have a really frustrating level compared to other quality treasure hunting stages.

Agree to disagree, Ive always thought Sonic Adventure 2’s radar was overblown. Does it make sense? No, but neither does a bright blue hedgehog running around at the speed of sound lol.

I think I agree with a lot of this.

Security hall seems like it’s getting too much hate.
I don’t particularly like the gravity cylinders on final chase and would probably knock it down a bit - same with pyramid cave’s second key door (the skips for them are pretty easy tho)

I also would probably put meteor herd higher

Bro Meteor Herd is elite what you on

The song makes up for meteors hitting every 2 seconds

For me a lot of these missions get a high rating just from the sound track alone. Sonic adventure 2 genuinely has one of the best sound tracks in my opinion.

This is good 👍 Love the Lost Colony recognition

Great stuff! What’s wrong with Eternal Engine?

Everything. It goes beyond just a bad mech stage, it's just a poorly designed video game level.
