Ah, this fucking level [claps hands] for those who are unaware of this, first of all, Dr. Eggman, the big bad, the guy who's usually the one who fucks up all the time, is actually rational in this game and says "Alright Rouge, you have 15 minutes before the bomb blows up, so get to stealing the emeralds." THIS FUCKING GIRL gets too big for her yoga pants and says "5 minutes should be plenty!" like a "hold my beer" situation.

You have five minutes to rob a maximum security bank the size of 3 Walmarts stacked on top of each other. Your gem radar is goin "beep beep beep" in this wall, so you're like "oh, i gotta get inside that safe some how", so you do what you do naturally as a Knuckles homologue and drillOH WAIT, YOU CAN'T DRILL IN THAT. "What the fuck? How else do you open that safe?" You have to turn on the switches somewhere in the three Walmarts. Where? Up at the tippy-top where you can't see very well, there's a pully that pulls you up to a secret fourth Walmart filled with titty traps that will kill you even if you bring rings, because rings can drop inside moving tank enemies. BUT ONLY ONE OF THOSE PULLIES. The second pully only brings you up to the opening of the fourth Walmart and no further. So you get to the first pully to bring you up to the fourth Walmart, go through the gauntlet of titty traps, and find your switches to pull. Now you can grab the first emerald!

SHIT. Where was the radar beeping again? It was at a safe right? But two of the four Walmarts are filled with safes along the walls! Goddammit I guess I'll have to fly along the walls andOKAY I found it. The safe is open, there's the emerald, I got it.

Okay, so that's one emerald out of three---What do you mean I only have one and a half minutes!?
