Perfecting EVERY Stage and Unlocking EVERY Skin - Akiko's Blue Spheres Game

Every stage perfected and the unlock screens for everyone but dark deluxe because i unlocked him after thanks to Akiko

Flashing lights warning on stages 12, 19, and 26

The rest of the description is gonna be dedicated to my thoughts on the event i'm mentioning here since most of my thoughts drift towards being negative and if you somehow enjoyed the event good for you ig lol

It's dependent on your skill level but for the average player id' recommend stopping at 14. Past that the levels ramp considerably (17, 20, and 21 are huge spikes i've seen everyone struggle with)

I think the difficultly ramps way too harshly initially. The first jumps you're forced to do are pretty tight on stage 8 and get much more technical way too fast, and yellow spheres quickly start forcing pinpoint turns after they launch you. This event isn’t friendly at all to the average player at all and while i think that’s the intention the difficultly is flat just unfair in some areas


I was disappointed the skins are only for the S3 cast. I have mixed thoughts on them. I think rival knuckles is eh, ray tails is fine, Tikal Knuckles 100% should have been rankles, while the rest are fine.

A few of the stages also just plain hurt to look at. Stage 12 is the only time playing blue spheres i’ve gotten eye strain because in a BLACK AND YELLOW CHECKBOARD you’re looking out for BLACK BUMPERS AND YELLOW RINGS AND SPHERES. Stage 19 also very likely needs a seizure warning as on max speed it’s way too flashy. Stage 26 and 18 also with their constant use of dimensional spheres (the teleports)



Idk why they weren’t toned down since CSS specifically delays events to stop stuff rapidly flashing yet here it’s prevalent

Some of the stages either felt like they were designed to waste as much time as possible (stages 14 and 21 come to mind) while some stages (stage 20, 21 and 17) are crazy difficultly spikes usually through a whole lot of ‘gotcha’ moments where memorization is basically forced to win. I know that’s the point of blue spheres but you have essentially no chance the first few couple tries in the later levels since you NEED to know where everything is. Most evidently in 21 where you’re likely screwed until you know the grey sphere locations.

I wish the music was mentioned beforehand that it was going to be licensed. Yeah, if you listen to the music it’s obviously copyrighted stuff but I presumed since so many people would play (and record / stream it) the custom music would be safe. And yeah i know you can switch it off or too just the S3 blue spheres music but it makes it just that more tedious listening to the blue spheres theme over and over and you're not figuring out where the settings are until it's too late


Initially i really disliked most of the music choices and i chalked it up to my music taste but i think part of the problem i was running into is that the blue sphere levels require concentration while the songs harshly contrast that, if you like the music i imagine that’s not a big deal but not being a fan of the music AND having to concentrate on the levels isn’t a great feeling and the alternative is JUST the default theme or muting audio

Also yes, i know you can switch the music to just blue spheres it’s why the crossworlds music stops halfway through but i’m surprised there’s absolutely 0 sonic tracks in at all, like yeah it’s your event put whatever music you like in but it’s sonic blue spheres i was expecting cyberspace tracks since they’d be an easy pick and stream / copyright friendly

I also wish more of the levels did interesting things because a lot of them meld together to me, like using the grey spheres in a level that starts you off in speed 5 for example. Gray spheres are only in 21 and 28 and it really feels like they’re there exclusively because the stages are so tediously long and most of the new spheres felt like they had ~3 levels built around them and that's it

I don't want to talk about stage 28
