Knuckles/Rouge. They weren't bad once you got the hang of it, but they were by far the slowest segments in the game. Plus, I actually found the Tails/Eggman sections fun

Tails/Eggman for sure. Awkward controls and scoring mechanism and just generally unfun gameplay.

Even if you didn't like Knuckles/Rouge stages, they generally had good mobility and could be completed pretty quickly.

Tails/Eggman easily. Knuckles and Rouge stages weren't great, but they have some of the best tracks in the game.

The mech stages felt like a chore and they were only made worse on all the other ports. You can thankfully mod the PC version and fix them but even then they feel really out of place.

To be honestly I never really had any issues at all with the Tails/Eggman stages, and really for the Rouge/Knuckles stages the only ones I actually had a dislike for were the last ones for each and they was just because they were TO FUCKING BIG

I begged my parents for money to get a fucking Prima strategy guide for SA2 cause I was stuck at the fucking Rogue vault level with the emeralds.

Only to find out they were random and the guide didn't help at all.

Was just about to say that Rogue fault level was horrible as a kid.

Other than that, I liked the Knuckles/Rogue levels. Incredible music. Every track was a banger.

Knuckles and Rouge I guess. Some of the bigger stages can keep you wandering for a while. And getting stuck on a planet in Mad Space is a fate worse than death. Plus some of Tails' levels have rad music. Both types of stage are fine though.

I'd rather play a hundred mech/treasure hunt levels than a single Big fishing level anyway.

Didn't really like the mech gameplay. I just want more regular platformer. The sonic/shadow levels were regular run & jumps while the knuckles & rouge levels were more collectathon style.

The mechs just felt out of place.

I enjoyed exploring the Knuckles and Rouge levels. I actually am a freak who prefers them to the Sonic and Shadow levels. Mad Space is a total disaster of a stage tho I agree. And their stages had incredible music even though Hunnid P (Knuckle's stages rapper) has kinda shown to be a huge asshole in recent years. If they ever remake the game, don't expect him back.

I really do not like the Tails/Eggman stages at all.

I share your opinion. While I just thought the knucks and rouge segments were ok, I did not like those tails and eggman sections at all. I liked e101's segments in sonic adventure 1 more in comparison.

All these years and I still like sonic adventure 1 a bit more than part 2. I wish tail's sonic adventure 2 segment stuck with the racing against sonic segments like in adventure 1, or replace sonic with eggman. (And on the opposite side let eggman race against tails I guess).

I have unfond memories of getting stuck on Knuckles' and Rouge's stages. The mech stages were just OK, but the treasure hunting could legit get you stuck and was never fun.

Honestly though the non Sonic levels are overhated. I love blowing shit up in a mech. Yes they're clunky, I won't deny that, but it's not that difficult to clear through the levels (Fuck A ranking Cosmic Wall Hard Mode though).

Treasure hunting level fall off quicker, but most of them are fine.

Security Hall and Mad Space are enough to earn my vote for Knuckles/Rouge. The mech stages were enjoyable to just blast through everything.

I don't see how Eggman/Tails stages were so hated. They were a huge improvement over E-101 in the first game, and Cosmic Wall was ridiculously easy.

When I think of awful stages I think of Mad Space.

the hunting stages are mostly small and can be completed in under two minutes usually. it's mostly just uninterestingly circling the stage three times in an optimal fashion

mech stages are really boring

E102 (I accidentally messed up his name in my first post, lol) worked for me because his 5 stages ended quickly. Not too short, but not too long where I feel like its a drag (whereas compared to sonic adventure 2, tails has 5 and eggman has 5, so its 10 levels total. Also the soundtrack for sonic adventure 1 kept me going and I was into E102's personal story.

Making tails a E102+eggman copy compared to him no longer having those fun sonic foot race stages just felt like a huge downgrade to me. Like I would rather be playing as amy (who basically just felt like a slowed down sonic with her adventure 1 stages) compared to having to do those mech segments 10 times and then doing the treasure hunting 10 times.

Surprised to see so much hate for Robotnik and Tails levels. I never had any problems with them.

I liked Knuckles and Rouges levels too for the most part. But getting an A rank on them was a painnnnn. Also they should have been like in the first Sonic Adventure where the radar would go off for any emerald shards that you were near instead of in a specific order.

I agree with this

In adventure 2, you play as sonic for barely 5 mins, before you are thrown into a tails and knuckles levels, and their levels are typically twice as long as a hedgehog level

I liked SA1 Gamma levels, but my brain shuts down for Tails and Eggman levels in SA2

Each gameplay style has good and bad levels, but I think tails and eggman suffer the worst from the bad ones. The worst level in the game is still Mad Space though

They tweak movement and physics so the mech gameplay doesn't feel as stiff and getting hurt by an enemy doesn't completely drop the pace. There's some gameplay tweaks like having movement speed tied to how many rings you have, and one mod fixes broken lighting in some stages to match the atmosphere of the Dreamcast port.

I actually like Mad Space, but it's super understandable why every hates that level. Security Hall to me is the worst, since it's timed and your progress is actually halted if you're terrible at the treasure levels. At worse Mad Space just takes a while.

Mad Space wouldn't be so bad if the controls didn't get hella wonky on the spherical and oblong planets. Trying to do anything on the southern half of the spherical planet is a nightmare. Everything else about the stage is fine.
