In this classic game challenge, I get all the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic 2 in the Emerald Hills Zone. It's hardly impossible but it's not easy either. You'll need to be familiar with all the special stages because there's very little margin for error. I did this once in my youth and decided to take another crack at it and make these videos, it was a lot harder than I remembered! This is hardly a superplay, so expect me to get hit and do other stupid things. If you're not familiar with Sonic 2, in order to get the Chaos Emeralds you need to beat the Special Stages. To open the portal to a Special Stage, you need to activate a Star Post (checkpoint) with 50 rings or more. When you leave the Special Stage and return to the zone, you'll have zero rings, but all the rings and powerups (and enemies!) in the zone will be reset. This means I have to backtrack a lot to get the 50 ring requirement. Another mechanic that complicates this is that when you activate a Star Post, all Star Posts before it are activated as well, nulling your chance to open it with a portal if you didn't do so earlier. So it's necessary to hit the Star Posts in the right order if you're trying something like this. Emerald Hills 1 has three Star Posts and thus three chances to get an Emerald. The first three Special Stages are pretty simple. Special Stage 1 (blue) is very straightforward and simple, anyone should be able to beat it on their first try. Special Stage 2 (purple) has a lot more twists and turns ...
