Top 10 Hardest Sonic 3D Levels
-
Eggmanland - Sonic Unleashed
The people who play the Wii/PS2 version have no idea how hard this stage is on Xbox/PS3. The nighttime moments are nowhere near as stressful as the daytime bits.
Thought it was bad enough on normal mode. On Time Attack mode, it's even worse.
You die in this level more than anywhere else.

End of the World - Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
One time, my younger brother told me he was better than me at Sonic 06. So I told him that if he was better than me at this game, he should beat the End of the World level. I've beaten this level before. It's the worst level in the worst Sonic game, and I like this game.
This level is basically all the levels you've played in the game, but this time there are time portals that will suck you in even if you have rings. First, you have to play as Tails in Crisis City. You have to collect a Chaos Emerald with all the characters except for Blaze and Sonic. Blaze died in Silver's storyline, and Sonic is almost dead, meaning you have to collect all 7 Chaos Emeralds to bring him back.
After you play as Tails, you play as Omega in Flame Core. Not only are there portals that will suck you in, there are also portals that will throw boxes at you. Then you play as Knuckles in Tropical Jungle. This is probably the easiest part of the level because you can go anywhere by gliding (except Knuckles' glide descends fast).
Next, you have to play as Silver in Dusty Desert. Thank god you don't have to do that last ball puzzle again. Then you play as Rouge in Wave Ocean, my personal favorite part. After that, you play as Amy in White Acropolis.
Last but not least, you play as Shadow the Hedgehog in Kingdom Valley. So, did my brother win? No. He couldn't beat the part with Tails. If someone tells you they're better than you at a game, challenge them to this level. They'll be pissed off.

Cannon's Core - Sonic Adventure 2
This place easily has the worst 100 ring mission in the game, and the sole culprit is the artificial chaos Eggman has to deal with. At least Tails can cheese those stupid enemies with the Time Stoppers, but Eggman has to deal with two at once. Who thought this was a good idea?
It took me 2 years to beat this level.
-
The Cauldron - Sonic and the Black Knight
Pretty hard because of the lava when trying to jump.
-
Eternal Engine - Sonic Adventure 2
I hate you. Enemies attack relentlessly and give you little time to react, it's a space area with a lack of depth perception and awful camera issues. So many artificial chaos creatures are such a pain to kill because they're invulnerable until showing their helmets after unleashing a lightning-fast arm attack.
To top it all off, shooting the dynamite gets you sucked into space and killed. This is where you really wish the walker controls weren't so clunky!

Kingdom Valley (Shadow) - Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
-
Crisis City - Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Silver lives here. It's a deserted city. Fires blaze. No hope.
Living hell.
Glitches are expected.
Delays may cause frustration.
Death is highly expected.
Enjoy your stay!
Ugh. I remember the mock speed sections. So many failed attempts. So many!
-
Terminal Velocity - Sonic Colors
-
Night Palace - Sonic and the Secret Rings
Quite hard, especially the boss fights without the right equipment.
The only hard part is when you're on the glass floor.
-
Lost World - Sonic Adventure
-
?
Cosmic Fall - Shadow the Hedgehog
This level is the most impossible level in the game. And its 100 times worse in expert mode.
-
?
Sky Deck - Sonic Adventure
There are bottomless pits everywhere, there are tons of enemies and traps flooding the level, and the gravity can be weird in some sections. On top of that, the level just goes on and on. Towards the end of the level, you have to do some platforming to get to some narrow walkways. It's a long way up, and if you fall, you have to do everything all over again!
-
Central City - Shadow the Hedgehog
I only played this stage once, and I think it's one of the hardest levels in Shadow the Hedgehog. You have 6 minutes to complete the stage. But who can beat it in 6 minutes?!
This level has a time limit of 6 minutes to either dispose of all the smaller bombs or explode all 5 giant bombs.
-
Dragon Road - Sonic Unleashed
-
Lost Impact - Shadow the Hedgehog
-
Lava Mountain Zone 2 - Sonic Lost World (Wii U)
This was awful to get through the first time.
-
Final Fortress - Sonic Heroes
This stage was almost a joke with Team Rose, but with Team Dark, this stage was long and hard. I never got to beat Team Dark's story because of this. The farthest I got was the giant laser. I'm never fast enough to dodge it.
I try to sacrifice my rings, but the camera in this game sucks. If I get hit, the camera moves to an angle where I can't see where I'm going, and then I fall off. I had so many game overs that this almost made me stop playing Sonic Heroes completely.
-
Wave Ocean - Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Only hard if it's your first time playing it.
-
Crazy Gadget - Sonic Adventure 2
The anti-gravity sections in this stage screw everything up. These sections have really awkward controls and can be disorienting at times. The anti-gravity sections are the biggest problems with this stage, but there's more to it than just that.
There are several sections with bottomless pits, and you can only get over them by grinding on a rail or using the light-speed dash across a long trail of rings. If you're going fast at all when you come up to these sections, you'll most likely miss the rail completely and fall to your death.
To top things off, the annoying chaos-looking monsters are all over the place. Getting an A rank on this stage is probably just as hard as getting an A rank on Metal Harbor. The difference is, I've A-ranked Metal Harbor before, but I've never A-ranked this stage.
