Nobody likes water levels.

spyro

I love the water level in TMNT as it filters retards.

>>7715174
These are the most beloved levels in the game

>>7715152
Got nice music and ambiance, but pretty boring overall. The "hybrid" ones in DKC2 and even 3 are better and more creative; all-water levels with no surface like in DKC1 are a bit lazy.

>>7715152
Rayman legends

>>7715152
Super Mario Bros 3 with the frog suit.

>>7715152
Megaman, always loved the moon jumps in its water levels

>>7715837
Too bad most water levels in Mega Man games have spikes on the ceiling, it would be cool if they had open ceilings with tons of projectile-based enemies you have to matrix your way through.

>>7715793
The tone is totally different though. DKC1 is zen while DKC2 is frantic.

>>7715152

>>7715174
They were solid in DKC. I prefer minecart, though.

Sonic after the first one

>>7715185
I always got filtered after the damn because of that one jump in the sewer and I didn't know until years later you could recover dead/kidnapped turtles in that same level.

>>7715152
Rayman Legends and Rayman Origins has good water levels. The Mega Man series had some good water levels as well. In the Hunt is nothing but Water levels. And the first stage of Batsugun is good.

>>7715203
According to you?

>>7715152
Ecco the dolphin since the entire game is a water level

>>7716267
Based eccobro

>>7716359
Yes.

>>7715793
>The "hybrid" ones in DKC2 and even 3 are better and more creative; all-water levels with no surface like in DKC1 are a bit lazy.
It's true: one of the things that puts Toki so far above DKC is the way that it combines water levels with above-water platforming. Not until DKC2 did Rare even begin to catch up to what Toki accomplished years earlier

>>7716474
Stop shilling toki you nigger, the game sucks and looks like shit, failed franchise for a reason, nobody but two other autists remembers your childhood arcade experience

Yes besides the boss fight
Some of the best music in the game too

>failed franchise
Actually this has been debunked. Cope donkeytranny.

>>7716537
>As of June 2020, the Donkey Kong franchise has sold over 82.88 million copies worldwide.
Cope harder, schlock enthusiast.

This level is a 6/10 but the music and aesthetics are 10/10

>>7716547
>popular = good!
Donkeyfuckers proving they've the most milquetoast taste, again.

One time me and my buddies went to Atlantic City to get drunk and gamble. We went back to the hotel after a long night and played this on my laptop for a little bit and then fell asleep to the music of the water level running in the background all night. Good memories.

>>7716561
The retard said Toki wasn't a failed franchise, of course sales figures were relevant. For the record, Toki is so irrelevant you can't even find them.

>>7716580
It certainly proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay if the graphics are good, but it doesn't mean that Toki failed by any means. Sadly, once again, DKCtards have managed to derail a thread with their whining. Wouldn't you rather talk about amazing water levels instead of sperging about sales figures?

>>7716607
>mediocre gameplay if the graphics are good
So that is why people(3 or 4 in this board) like Toki.

>>7716359
I agree with him

>>7716267
>>7716392
Cheeky bastards

>microids dev so desperate to shill their ebin remakes that they've come to /vr/
Anon pls

^ I may have responded to the wrong anon. Fuck off Tokifag

Earthworm Jim

Not a single person has ever played Toki. So it can't be said to have failed (or succeeded). It is a mystery what sort of experience people might have, were they to actually play Toki.

>>7715152

People sometimes say the first era in E.V.O. (SNES) is the best. I don't agree, but they sometimes say that.

I can't think of anything else except cheap answers like Ecco and Wetrix. I guess I would also say Mario Sunshine since I liked F.L.U.D.D. but I know some (noisy) people are into the Mario 64-style challenge levels. I thought those were kinda boring though...

>>7716607
>mediocre gameplay if the graphics are good
It's not even mediocre gameplay. It's faster paced than most platformers of the time, full of secrets, diverse types of levels, tag teaming with your friends, amazing and responsive controls, mini games, etc. There's nothing mediocre about it, you could only ever have that opinion out of spite because your parents got you a genesis instead.

>>7716819
I played it, even did a 1cc on it.

>>7716562
How was the gay sex

>>7716489
I guarantee that dude has not played Toki before 2021

>>7716607
Toki is a shit game. It was a shit game in the 90s (which you clearly weren't alive for), and it's a shit game now. The box of toki carts you bought aren't going to go up in value anytime soon. But by all means, keep wasting moments of your pathetic existence by trying and failing to convince everyone what a great game it is.

>>7716863

You did not. You were playing Whomp 'Em. Your memory was mixed up during the time that has passed since then.

>>7716951
Never heard about this game. I know what I played since I did it this year.

>>7716267

>even did a 1cc on it
LOL

>>7716474
Toki was fine but you’re making me hate it

>>7717067
I enjoy paying only once and be able to finish the game, anon.

Any Sonic on Genesis

water temple is the best dungeon in ocarina of time fuck the haters

>>7717083

Anon, you haven't actually played Toki - no one has. You're mixing it up in your memory with Altered Beast.

>>7715152
the water levels aren't that great, just the music for them

>>7717381
No, they're pretty fun on their own. You've got the change in controls with the free roaming swimming, all of the hidden areas, dodging the obstacles, riding that swordfish. Good times.

>>7716898
ironically we ended up playing 'gay sex moaning ASMR' videos right up next to the ear of one of the first guys that fell asleep for like 30min straight, he woke up and said it was the best sleep he'd ever had in his life kek

>>7716474
Ahh, here's the REAL water level.

Sonic 3

It's really amusing to think that somebody is shilling some gay game everybody hates just to increase the value on his ebay lot

>>7720083
>implying it's not Valvedrones trying to get people to buy the Toki remake on Steam

The water level in Sonic 3 was fun as fuck

>>7721441
Which one? Every zone in Sonic 3 has water in it. It's the reason why S3 is the weakest Sonic title out of the Genesis games.

>>7721730
Water was largely avoidable in Angel Island if you kept off lower paths.
Hydrocity, was the designated water level.
Marble Garden Zone has no water at all.
Carnival Night Zone only has water on act 2, with one easily avoided section and one brief mandatory section that quickly drains away.
Ice cap Zone also again only has water on act 2, with all of it being a bottomless pit hazard except for one well hidden special stage ring.
Launch Base Zone also only has water on act 2, which is technically avoidable if you play very carefully, but casually you will go through it.

Sonic 3 A.I.R. has an achievement based on beating LBZ Act 2 without touching water. This includes the water pipes that transport you to another part of the map.

>>7721797
Oh, and in contrast Sonic & Knuckles has no water at all. You never go underwater in Mushroom Hill, Flying Battery, Sandopolis, Lava Reef, Hidden Palace, Sky Sanctuary, or Death Egg.

So although the bubble shield is still available, its function to provide unlimited air is unutilized.

>>7721730
Hydrocity, the second level

I really liked SotN's water level
>>7721730

>ITT and every other thread on /vr/: Zoomers talk shit to generate some sort of e-peen with older games
This board is fucking retarded, and so are zoomers.

>>7721980
Yet you're still here with all the retards and zoomers. What does that make you, faggot?

>>7716916
>>7720083
Damn Donkeybros, we're paying for our hubris. Looks like Toki's cult fanbase is on the rise and there's NOTHING we can do to stop them.

>>7715152
I always loved the water levels in Spyro 2 and 3, I'm not quite sure I'd call them the best part of the game, but I wish there was more than 1 dedicated swimming world per title.

>>7715152
Super Mario 64

>>7722839
It's because Spyro's swimming controls weren't bad. It was fun to charge about through the water.

>>7722839
>that fucking whale in that one Spyro 3 hub
Getting to that one room in the center underwater was a nightmare and half as a kid

>>7722839
> charges the edges of the map
> gets sent free
Freaky shit.
