Sonic Adventure 2 - Mad Space (A-Rank)

Описание: Okay, the entire reason for this video existing is just because I felt like helping out a person with figuring out how to get an A-Rank at Mad Space and wanted to do a video on how I do it. Also, this is the best stage in the game and I will stand on this hill.

We're going hintless here, as they harm the score and I don't like that. Anyway, here's what I do: the first thing is to go by the path of the missiles and get the Golden Beetle. Check around for a second or two on each missile spot to make sure there's no emerald shard there. Now, if there is none by the time you got the Golden Beetle, you're probably screwed and it might just be better to restart, but you do you. If you DO, however, find one, good for you.

Get the Golden Beetle and make sure to check each section again quickly before going to the two gravity planets, visiting the spherical one first as it's smaller and has a missile directly towards the green one. If there is nothing there or if you found one shard, you have to make an important decision: either you venture upwards back by the missile path or venture to the platforms at the bottom of the stage. If you're not using hints, you may as well flip a coin, by which I mean just choose whichever you prefer. I hate how long the bottom path takes to check around, so I choose the upper and it worked out. If the path you chose seems to contain no emerald shards, you can try to quickly get to the other one and hope the shard is nearby or just restart.

It is worth mentioning that sometimes, one of the shards can spawn in a cryptic location like close to the platforms that are near the green planet but lack it's gravity or other such stuff. In that case, it might just be better to restart. Good luck!
