Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I playthrough ~Longplay~

This is a playthrough of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I for PC (timestamps below). The first part of the short-lived Sonic 4 episodic series sees Modern Sonic run through some very familiar stages on a 2D plain. I actually like Sonic 4 a fair bit more than a lot of Sonic fans do, though Episode I in particular is not without its flaws. The physics issues are well-documented, and other problems include weird implementations of Sonic&mechanics (the spin-dash isn&particularly useful in this game - if you want to build up speed, repeatedly jumping is more effective), level design that arbitrarily slows you down, and player vulnerability (you&often left open to taking damage so it&easy to get hit by crashing into/falling on off-screen enemies). The music&divisive (dying cats etc.) but there&still some jams in here. The Splash Hill themes and Mad Gear Act 3 come to mind. --- 00:00 Title 00:41 Splash Hill Act 1 - The Adventure Begins 02:14 Splash Hill Act 2 - High-Speed Athletics 03:41 Splash Hill Act 3 - Sunset Dash 05:28 Splash Hill Boss - Showdown with Dr. Eggman 06:32 Casino Street Act 1 - Neon City Adrift in the Night 08:19 Casino Street Act 2 - Road of Cards 11:13 Casino Street Act 3 - Casino Climax 14:57 Casino Street Boss - Dr. Eggman&Party 16:13 Lost Labyrinth Act 1 - Ancient Maze of Mystery 19:15 Lost Labyrinth Act 2 - World of Darkness 24:18 Lost Labyrinth Act 3 - Underwater Maze Escape 28:46 Lost Labyrinth Boss - Trap-Filled Ruins 31:12 Mad Gear Act 1 - Dr.
