Sonic Generations - Invincibility Challenge

Invincibility Challenge

"Invincibility Challenge"? Is that an oxymoron? You're probably wondering how a stage can possibly be a challenge if it revolves around the player character being invincible all the time. If you are, you likely have never played some of the Wario Land titles. That, and the challenge here is not so much getting to the goal as it is to get to the goal in time. You get 1 minute 10 seconds to get to the goal, which is daunting even while invincible. You'll see that I barely made it. This is definitely one of the tougher stages to S-Rank, even in the context of the whole game.

Spikes line the floors of this stage more than any other in the game--Sonic, by himself, would stand no chance of getting through. But all over the place are Invincibility Monitors. They cause sparkles to circle around Sonic, giving him immunity to all pointy things and enemy attacks. Sonic will walk on the spikes as if they were hardwood flooring. Later on, the stage puts spikes on moving platforms too, so it's not like Sonic can breeze his way through. He'll have to do platforming, like any other classic game hero. (And some modern ones.)

[apostolis633]

plz explain 2 me how can u get (s) rank in the hardests acts???

[Overhazard]

@apostolis633 I keep on playing until I figure out how to do it.

No MegaMan joke?

Not even with all those spikes?

Not going to say "MegaMan would be jealous of that ability" or something?

Also, you need to review what the Wario Land games are about. 1 and 4 had health/lives, 2 and three were invincible, and only 4 had a clock. (which was both forgiving and only on the way out of the level).

[Overhazard]

@AchmeZe Hmm. Then what was it that provided the Wario Land games where he's invincible with challenge?

[AchmeZe]

@Overhazard Sort of.

Bosses would toss Wario away to another room, forcing him to restart.

Coins are lost when getting hit. Some enemies could inflict status effects.

For example, you're platforming, with above you a one-way platform and below a current of water. Enemies would hit you with effect that made you go up (and force restart) or push you off (forcing restart).

It was a skill game, yes.

[Overhazard]

@AchmeZe So is the objective something other than to get to the end?

[apostolis633]

then u are really good!

[9ALDO]

YES is like i imagined, like in these stage in Yoshi's island....

[AchmeZe]

@Overhazard WL1: Very much like Mario Bros.

WL2: Getting to the end/boss. Coins were used for bonuses and treasures. Secret exits exist.

WL3: Treaure. Levels had 4 teasure chests and 4 matching keys. Treasures were power ups or unlocked other levels. (with fun cutscenes).

WL4: Back to basic. Get heart frags, gem parts and press the exit/bomb button, before rushing back. (sometimes heart/gems were on the way back).

@Rexaura888 Yes you can die in the first Wario Land as it follows the power-up system from the 2-D Mario games.

[Rexaura888]

I thought you could actually DIE in the first Wario Land(this is just hearsay. That's the only one I haven't played). That, and you also had limited lives if I recall. You could also technically game over in Wario Land 3 in the final boss. Wario only fought the clock in Wario Land 4 and Shake It, though he literally had to fight the clock in Wario Land 2.

My brother has the Classic Invincibility Theme as his ringtone for some reason unknown even to me...
