  • ACTUALLY I LOOOOVE THIS STAGE!

  • Loved the track to this level. Jeez where have the last 21 years gone? :-|

  • @leemarvinuk09 i ask myself the same thing.

  • have any sonic 3/knuckles videos?

  • The backgrounds of this stage are incredible, they give me the feeling of very very big carvings of an ancient culture in the distance. I remember that impression from the 90s. I still like it a lot.

  • Hey, at least he can even get in the water. I mean in games such as Sonic Heroes, or Sadx, Or Sa2b he would go to the water, -1 life, game over/start over.

  • Real talk, I thought the floating sponges were cheese when I was younger lol

  • I liked the never ending water slide as a kid.

  • 4, little bubble, CMON!, 3, Little bubble, 2, NOW CMON NOW!, 1, GAME OVER, Big bubble THIS HAS HAPPENED TO EVERYONE AT LEAST 5 TIMES
  • I actually enjoyed this level as a kid especially when i realized that i just need to chase dr robotnik at the end. :)

  • 3:36 Found your shop. Believe me.

  • Love the little thing they do in the music at 0:49 until 1:07.

  • Hmph. You say this is the easiest boss in the game yet it's probably the only time in the entire Sonic 1 walkthrough you lost rings. Scrap Brain was much easier! You don't even need to hit the Labyrinth boss & yet with the rising water & traps amok, it's still the hardest boss in the game. Sega probably put Star Light zone afterwards as a reward for those capable of beating this challenge of a zone, & reintroduced this zone in act 3 of Scrap Brain, just to intimidate us with fear...

  • Hey can you tell what was the name of the song from your intro, because I really liked it and it sounds like it came from another Sega Genesis game.

    ps. I might be the only person in the world to like this level just because of the music. I like it so much I hum it when I get on the zone, and I'd like to hear what everyone else has to say about my statement.

    pss. I thought those sponges were giant corks.

    psss. 8+ People couldn't get passed this zone.

  • @XxStayXPositive It comes from the title screen of the rare Sega 32X game, Knuckles' Chaotix.

  • tastosis

  • 1:50 I had the exact same thought

  • This level isn't that hard. Except the boss, that's definitely the hardest part of the game.

    I actually like this level, the drowning/bubble mechanic makes for some really tense moments.

  • this...THIS...TTTHHHIIISSS....­was the death of me when I was 9.....I'd literally CELEBRATE when and if I actually passed this level, which was rare.

  • I never had any problem with this level.  It's one of my favorites in the series, in fact.

  • I liked the music but I really hated that goddamn stage

  • 2:46 floating cheese lol

  • this was like the most stressful level in the whole game, aside from the last act in scrap brain where they had to bring the nightmare of this level back.

  • I don't hate Labyrinth Zone, i love it! Why? Because i love underwater levels! I kind of got over the drowning music, and it's not scary to me.

    It's true that Sonic can only hold his breath for 30 seconds.....but theres something that bpblu missed!

    Hear those ding-ding sound effects every 5-8 seconds? When you hear the THIRD one, quickly get an air bubble, or come to the surface!

  • @wildjaredissowild

    Finally, someone else who actually LIKES underwater stages in Sonic games. There is something that no one actually realises:

    In the Beta for this game, there was actually a design for a scuba-mask power-up. This was supposed to stop Sonic from drowning, however, thinking it would make the level too easy, Sega took it out. I wonder why...

  • every time th countdown music came on under water i accullaly started to felt like i was drowning sonic needs swiming lessons

  • I hate this level. Thank God they made the water levels better with each game. Hydrocity is downright awesome!

  • first off prebark is a fag and second off i love this stage! i enjoy the challange

  • Comment removed

  • @presbarkeep Then dont watch bpblu videos, u could not be more idiot, there are other speedruns in yt u know?

  • wrong music!

  • Contrary to popular belief, I actually liked this zone. If you ask me, Marble Zone is way worse, and more annoying.

  • Man I love Your Videos.

  • Damn dude, you need to invest in a microphone. Text all over the screen is horribly annoying...

  • I used to play this when I was younger and always die.

    Part of me thinks that's where my fear of water came from. Lol :D

  • Naturally, a human cannot breathe underwater either. I've heard about plenty of drowning-related deaths of people.

  • man that was the level i was stuck in or my brother was

  • I wonder how he can walk under water? If you exhale enough you can but very slowly and you have barely any time before neeeding more air. Your lungs will make you float.

  • "Unlike monkeys, plumbers, and puffballs. Hedgehogs can't breathe underwater."

  • "Spiked spheres" are called orbinauts.

  • Unlike monkeys, pufffballs, and plumbers, hedgehogs can't breathe underwater.

  • i love this song

  • holy shit, you don't have to beat him while going up the stupid ...? hahaha i'm really glad i just watched this, i had forgotten that from childhood. got the sonic classic collection from DS recently and got pissed off and gave up on labyrinth zone boss. sweet.

  • Whats the intro music called?

  • The best music ever, this game is a masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i dunno why but i find myself holding my breath when i play this game...so scary

  • i couldn't get past it cause it was too long and difficult

  • Sonic 4 needs stuff like this as well.

  • I just got this game in my iphone. it's soo fun....though I cudn't get past this zone cuz I didn't know you cud breathe with the bubbles underwater. I tried to go through a whole area of water in one breath. silly me. Thanks for this video!

  • Labyrinth Zone has long maze, unlike the 4 other zones

  • Malalha. This stage scared me badly when I was little (I was one year old when it came out!) The faces in the background and the rising water made me panic. And the last stage in Scrap Brain Zone did so even more.

  • this is why sonic hates water

  • @Aerosion It's old school and a lot better than newer Sonic games.

  • my god.. a fuktardchild

  • @Aerosion For 10 years has my foot been stuck in your ass.

  • Actually, it's almost 20 years old. And it's better than most of the games haunting shelves in 2010 D:

  • If only there were bubbles that keep u from drowning! But thats only in sonic 3! Awww...

  • @TheSonicboy69 no there are bubbles here

  • @rustyhookman

    over time games games get better graphics but gameplay-wise it's another story :/.

  • Ya tha Drowning music was serious. Like you was actually in real life drowning I hated it

  • @showstoppa01 that tune along with the 5 second dinging made me rather claustrophobic in Sonic 1, of course i overcame that. Ironically enough, whenever i swim underwater in real life, the first thing that comes to mind when i need to come up for air is the dreaded drowning tune (which was obviously inspired by a certain Steven Spielberg blockbuster)

  • That's so funny. I always thought those corks were cheese too...And yea, I hated this zone. Loved the music, hated everything else about it. Even after playing the other Sonic games, I had little trouble with those water levels, it's this specific one that I'll always hate.

  • LMFAO i dunno why it was so funny.. 1:00

    "unlike monkeys plumbers and puffballs, hedgehogs can't breath under water"

  • Man this reminds me of when i was 8 years old

  • lol, that was a great video.. coordinated in ur actions / description. and u have a sense of humour haha.. good video!

  • I am only one in world who think this is my fave.

  • That drowning music still gives me nightmares

  • yo this music was the fuccin truth

  • why didnt u jump into the ring when u cleared the first act?

  • you are a very good. Didn't even know that the lower path was shorter. I always took the higher, harder path. But I somehow manage to stay alive and sometimes keep 50 rings. :)

  • <3 this stage

    <3 the music

  • I love this stage it's the one before this that sucks.

  • This zone does NOT fuck around!

  • Nice vid ! :D Love the running commentary. Funny stuff !

  • i know i do.. i love the music but hate the stage with a passion lol

  • I HATED this level. I usually had my brother play it for me so I could get to the next level and he was 4 or 5years old at the time and I was 7 or 8 years old! lol I remember if anyone was playing this level and they started to drown I would run out the room because I was scared of the music when sonic was drowning! lol I would try and play this level but I just couldn't beat the whole thing by myself. Ugh Good times! lol

  • Haha, yeah I used to freak when Sonic drowned too! They made character deaths pretty dramatic in the old games!

  • Thank you Bpblu. you are the reason i go to youtube ;)

  • I always hated this level so much, especially the boss. Just watching this video made me cry from all the frustration this level used to put me through XD!

  • The hardest stage which lays in the middle of the game??? Crazy shit!! This level caused me to break things as an 10 year old!

  • This was and still is my favourite stage.

    The tension the panic the drowning, epic. Love this game. Of all the blue hedgehogs that run faster than a speeding bullet, he's my favourite.

  • LABYRINTH ZONE FOR THE WIN!

  • Yeahh it is one of the hardest stages...Got one of the best tunes though :D

  • yeah. i love the music but hate the stage. eh. u have to beat it at some point right?

  • this level is DEATH. Every single time I somehow managed to get up to it, it was like.... eternal death! It's so hard and so easy to die. Whether it's drowning or getting crushed to death. Oh arrrgh. *cries* the trauma-filled memories of my childhood.

  • I had fun with this zone. I was helping my cousin beat it. He had no idea what to do in spite of my suggestions, so i showed him this video. It helped him a lot!

  • The Spike-Sphere's actually called an Orbinaut.

  • This level an Sandopolis Act 2 were made by the devil.

  • lol i hated those stages. i thought i was the only one

  • i used to play this game when i was 6

    i used to see my hands trembling in the boss of the sea

  • As was Mystic Cave Zone

  • Don't forget Scrap Brain. It was made by him as well.

  • I don't know about you guys but I always enjoyed Labyrinth zone .Still one of my favorite levels and still play it for fun.I also like the idea that Sonic can't breathe under water it makes it more of a challenge and more realistic.Sonic owns all.

    Mario-overrated

    Donkey Kong-weak

    Kirby-just plain fruity.

  • And I'm guessing because they didn't do it in this game, they decided to do a similar thing with Sonic 3 by making the Hydrocity Zone the second level in the game.

  • Unlike Plumbers Monkeys and Puffballs

    i.e.

    Mario

    Donkey Kong

    and Kirby

  • What is the name of the intro song?? I love that one!

  • yes please please tell me!

  • his opening? i thnk knuckles chatoix music

  • I could never beat this level and it drove me mad! lol

  • wooow you kidding? the end has an actual end? i thought it just kept going and going and you actually had to try to hit him.. could never beat it

  • Labyrinth Zone AKA The level that made Sonic a hydrophobic. poor hedgehog.

  • When i was a little kid i used to hate this stage. Drowning in the water scared me and this was why i never played Sonic 1 again. When i encountered this level again i just stopped playing the game. I got over it lol

  • Its not a burrowbot,

    it a SUPER ROBOT NINJA MOLE!!!!

  • I don't hate the stage...

    ...because I've beaten it so many times. XD

  • lol Sonic's short breath could be do to the water pressure from being so deep in it. XD

  • They were made from Japanese singers named Dreams Come True. I love think

  • lol at 1:46 "We have a hedgehog that can run at the speed of light and Sega wants to make sense at this level?!!!" lmao yea

  • The drowning music with the 5 countdowns right?

  • I like this zone....very challenging. Besides, I always like water levels....very mystifying.

  • Everyone's most likely to run out of air after the part where Sonic hangs on to those poles.

  • i really love labyrinth song and the "KOKAK" sound sonic made when his breath in the buble

  • i have this game and i struggled on the 3rd act of this zone PS:i failed because of drowning in water and i hate this zone

  • i always got stuck on this stage.i nevered liked it

  • what's funny is, i haven't played this game in ages. i whip out the mega collection, and got so frustrated that i couldn't kill robotnik, and i hit him a million times. i forgot, just climb the damn chasm. thanks bplu.

  • lol OMG I diddnt know he ran away I always died trying to catch 'em thanks lol

  • that kind of comment getting spamed:P

  • The music in this stage is one of my favourites! Next to Carnival Night and Ice Cap in Sonic 3, that is!

  • Labyrinth Zone is a hate stage...

  • You make it look so easy...

    Great video though. Comic relief is needed on this level. =]

  • Sonic Travels at the speed of SOUND not the speed of light

  • I don't hate Labirynth Zone. In fact, is my favourite stage of the game.

  • I thought you didnt have to get air under water if u had a bubble

  • This Is Sonic 1, n00b.

    The Bubble Sheild Was In Sonic 3/SK/S3K.

  • Frustrating but really fun level! ^_^

  • It's nice of you to walk people through it and all and I like the video but any real gamer wouldn't need this. Sure it was difficult first experiencing the stage but come on it was not that damn hard! There were plenty other Genesis titles that presented way more challenging situations than Sonic the Hedgehog not to mention the NES games. I'm sorry but someone that can't get past Sonic 1 on any stage is just weak as hell.

  • This is actually my favorite stage. i dont see why people hate it so much :P

  • i h8 it casue i always end up drowning lol

  • creepy...

  • Great song, but a hard level for sure! Used to have some breathing problems :) Great vid!

  • I remember getting really pissed off when I went on a slide in act 3, and the camera fell behind. When it caught up, Sonic just...died.

  • When it said "monkeys, plumbers and puffballs...", were you referring to Donkey Kong, Mario and Kirby?

  • Sponge block? I thought that was a cork.

  • yea now if i could get passed the casino what level is this one

  • the casino level is in sonic 2. this is sonic 1

  • no the one thats like the one in 2 with all the spike things flying around

  • I use to think it looked like cheese also

  • Great Song :D

  • @ 3:49--

    Sonic: "WTF just happened? o-o"

  • da freakin song iz tight always luv dis level

  • 06:05-06:06 there is a jumping glitch lol.

  • This zone is hard until you see this videos, THANKS FOR THE HELP!

  • this is the is the second hardest level after the scrap brain zone

  • apprantly, if you hit a spike underwater you instantly die if u have rings or not. is this true or was my version messed up? lol

  • This level is hard at all, except for the boss stage.

  • Can you imagine having to go through this stage in real life?

    (shudders at the thought)

  • when i see ths i think of The Second Reality Project 2 - Zycloboos Challenge

    lol

  • Expertly done, and nice commentary to boot.

    "Monkey cheese. I got hit!"

    Love it!

  • Your videos are awesome man...hahahaha @ your commentary.

    "We have a hedgehog that can run faster than the speed of sound, and SEGA chooses to make sense here?"

  • I hate this level

  • Wouldn't it be easier if you used level select?

  • lol, at "one day i'll find a store to accept these points."

  • Hmm... don't think that's a shortcut. Sounds like a glitch to me. I mean, I never been able to do that before. So it might've been a glitch, I think.

  • That's the title music to Knuckles Chaotix, lol.

  • The title screen music to a game called Knuckles Chaotix.

  • I knew it'd be from a Sonic game, spin-off or otherwise. XP

  • No...

  • I only like this level for the music

  • And I thought they were called "Orbinauts", not spike spheres.

  • Orbinauts I know are the enemies in Sonic 3. The manual said Spike Spheres I believe... last I checked. It's been a while, lol.

  • i always hate this stage -.-

  • I love The Drowning Music. its funny to me. lol

  • The timing of the air bubbles drove me crazy. I'd be standing there and the timer starts and the damn thing still doesn't come.

  • love the music

  • The drowning music reminds me of Jaws.

  • i hated this zone

  • what exactly was that zone supposed to be though? Some underground maze leading to eggman's city or something? What's with the ancient pictures on the walls and stuff...?

  • The pictures remind me of Sonic 3's Hydrocity it had the same pictures.

  • I also nearly had a panic attack or something everytime I see/play this level, must be because when I was younger I could NOT for the life of me get past Act 3 of this Zone where sonic keeps sliding down the waterslide. Also that drowning music would bepretty scary for a 6 or 7 year old lol
