Dude water in Sonic games was always terrifying for me as a kid. Once I reached Labyrinth Zone in Sonic 1, I stopped playing and didn't touch the game again for years to come.

Yeah, water levels were always really hard for me. Now that I think about it, I don't think I ever got to Labyrinth Zone when I played Sonic 1, which is probably because I never really played it that much. I remember one time me and my sister were taking turns playing Sonic 1 on Sega Smash Pack for Dreamcast, But I think the farthest we got was Marble Zone.

I think I remember my brothers telling me about the secret path in Chemical Plant Zone, and I was so excited cause I could skip the water part, but I don't think I could ever find it. Except I kind of remember doing the boss once, which was really hard for me because of the parts on the ground that open up. I would always fall into them.MisschiefMajique wrote:I don't know why but I grew out of my fear of water in sonic games pretty quick. Labyrinth annoyed me rather than terrified me. Act 3 is a pain even to this day because I get so impatient. Thank god Chemical Plant in sonic 2 has that secret path which drops you into the boss without going near pink water.
And of course S3&K has the one water level which no one hates because it's actually FUN.
The shortcut is pretty easy in chemical plant once you know where it is.Bubblegumspit wrote:Yeah, water levels were always really hard for me.

Thanks! It sounds pretty easy to do. I'll have to try it out the next time I play.MisschiefMajique wrote:The shortcut is pretty easy in chemical plant once you know where it is.
1. You'll get to a part with lots of loops and catch a glimpse at the nasty pink water before being flung up a ramp next to a star post. (Just try not to get stuck in the top of the loop just before the jump, that happens to me all the time when travelling too fast)
2. Land on the top ledge by these moving blocks. If you miss, just go all the way back up to the closed door, you'll have enough momentum.
3. Jump over the booster, this will send you right back where you don't want to go: DOWN.
4. Spindash and jump at the top of the small hill back to your LEFT. You'll land in the grey section above. Just follow this as far as it'll go.
5. You'll come across a long section and at the start pick up some rings and invincibility, there'll be one part where you will be able to fall down to the platform below.
6. Enjoy toasting the boss with your extra invincibility! (Just make sure you don't have Tails with you. I've died more thanks to him than anything else in this boss)
