Fuck the Labyrinth Zone. Fuck the Aquatic Ruin Zone too, it's not even that they are hard, they are just so slow and unfun. With Aquatic you can try to avoid by staying up top but I always fall to water fairly quickly.

Normal hedgehogs are great swimmers

Sonic is not a normal hedgehog.

Normal hedgehogs can't slam back chili dogs though.

He’s a hedgehog who ate the fast-fast fruit

Once I was watching my sister try Sonic Adventure for the first time (got it on Steam from a bundle). I had never played Adventure myself but I knew the Megadrive/Genesis Sonics a bit, more than she did in any case.

She's just messing around, finds a small pool (more like blue transparent rectangle) and jumps in, laughing about the complete lack of physics or any watery effect.

Then "wait, what the fuck is that loud music, why is it playing now?"... And I'm like "Yeah, that's the sound of you drowning." "Oh."

The panic-inducing drowning music from the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yw5jkAHgME

So as someone who grew up playing sonic on gensis, he seems to be preety damn good underwater and spends alot of time there lol.

Yeah those gold rings are heavy though

Fuck that music. The stress it made me feel was unreal.

My daughter watches a video on YouTube called Sonic Retold, just an animation using in-game graphics from Sonic 1.

When it gets to labyrinth zone, Sonic stops and looks at the water - no matter where I am in the house she yells out to me “Sonic doesn’t like water!”

Couldn’t he just jump up and start running really fast on water like how Dash did in The Incredibles? I don’t get this

Im playing sonic adventure right now and in the second chaos fight you can just walk on the surface of the pond
