Metal Harbor A Rank Guide | Sonic Adventure 2 Tips & Tricks

I actually didn't know that bouncing prevents the bonus from setting in. That's very handy to know.

Man where was this video when I needed it ten hours and fifteen minutes ago I had no idea that spamming bounce kept the combo meter going- that'll be a lifesaver on the last few A-ranks I need.

That ring placement is sneaky!

“The magic hands power up is useful” that’s a sentence I never once thought I would hear. Guess times have changed on SA2

This video is gonna save someone out there a lot of pain

Yeah no joke! I was having a difficult time to get an :_duskWin: rank in this stage, especially in mission 1

This video would have been really useful to my teenage self when I was working toward 100% completion. I remember forcing an :_duskWin: by getting all the rings instead. I eventually got 100%, but it took me a few years of playing the game semi-regularly. The only outside help I had were knowing the exact requirements. I had to figure out everything else by myself.

Thanks so much! A stage-by-stage A Rank Guide is just what I need as I'm about to try my own 100% run of SA2. This helps so much and hoping for more!

I remember being fucking pissed when I first found out about that lone ring

A hidden ring I didn't know of. Sega playing sneaky with that

I knew about the ring!! I explored this game a LOT looking for secrets! Great video!

I'm glad that I've been able to find and watch this video. I've been trying to get an A rank for mission 1 in that stage about 2 days ago and I didn't know that you don't have to get all the way to the top of that rocket to help get enough points. Everyone else who has put out an online walkthrough about this stage mentions that that has to be done, and I frustratingly keep failing to make it up there in time! So next time I attempt to get an A rank in mission 1 and an A rank in any of the other missions in that stage that I might not have gotten yet, I'll rewatch this video to remind myself about what you said can be done to get there in time, and if I fail on managing that again I will be reminded of what other things can be done to achieve the A rank goal in that mission and the 4 other ones in that stage. Thanks for this amount of gaming advice. PS, now you have a new subscriber because I'm a big fan of this game and the whole Sonic franchise.

Awesome to see guides are becoming modern to classic games. It's so refreshing to see. lol.

Love this. Very much appreciating the SA2 content. I'm still enjoying/playing the game so it makes me happy to see channels like yours going strong. Metal Harbor is definitely a sneaky tough A rank compared to other stages!

Great to see Magic Hands love!!

Also good to know about the bounce bracelet trick.

Lol, yep, I never knew about that 1 hidden ring! That’s so rad! Also didn’t know about the right rail being worth more! What an awesome video! I always felt like sa2 was slightly inspired by Tony Hawk with the tricks and points. I always felt like spamming the bounce bracelet to chain stuff was essentially doing a manual in Tony hawk!

Wow thanks for these tips. Didn't know the singular ring on top!

BTW Thank you so much for the gifted membership, you’re the best and stay epic :_duskLove:

I think Alpharad is the first person to teach me about that sneaky ring. Such a cool move by the devs tbh.
