Sonic Generations - Sky Sanctuary Act 1 - No Commentary

Sky Sanctuary probably wouldn't have been my first choice from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Even just going from the Sonic & Knuckles half of the game, Flying Battery and Lava Reef would have taken priority for me. Those eventually got remade in Mania, so I'm glad they got recognition, but I still would have liked to see them in 3D.

With all that said, though, Sky Sanctuary is still a pretty good level, definitely one of the most iconic from 3&K, and its remake here does a lot to recapture what made the original level so good. The use of 3D space for different routes and transitions to new areas is pretty good, it's neat that the spinning platforms sometimes have items on them that you have to get the timing right to get, and they kept the original's sense that you're slowly climbing your way up the ruins, closer and closer to the Death Egg looming in the background. It's not shown in this run, but adding the flying spinning tops from Marble Garden was a nice touch too. I like it when Generations calls back to other levels too and not just the ones being represented.

No Mecha Sonic appearances though, sadly. Gotta wait another decade for him to appear again (though given how well Scrapnik Island handled him, I'd say the wait was more than worth it, that comic is so good).

Not really got much to say about my run here. I thought I did alright, couple of upper routes missed, but apparently that was my best time so I must have done something right. Or I just barely play this level, take your pick.

I'm not entirely sure why I chose Kingdom Valley's music for this. I suppose they're both ruins, so it sorta fits, and Sky Sanctuary doesn't really have many other fitting options for music in-game (I hope the remaster has more songs to choose from). I probably should have just chosen the default music.

Oh, I should also probably mention what skills I have equipped, for those curious. For Classic Sonic, I have Athleticism, Sure-Footed, Long Spin Dash, and Twin Spin Attack. I use that latter one a few times in this video, though not to great effect. I don't change up my skills between videos, so this loadout applies to all the Classic Sonic stages.
