That’s one way of completing it; Probably would have done more justice to use that method than rage quitting, but even I wasn’t aware of its existence as well as many others at the time of playing it.

Can’t save em all unfortunately 😅

@@speedbreaker5529 it happens to the best of us

@Ivan210bluboi It's one of my most challenging sections in any category, especially in All Red Rings, as making the optimal cycle risks Sonic getting squished and losing 10 seconds, which is highly frustrating given how far in this is in. Personally, it's one of my most nerve wracking sections in the entire full game run not just in the individual stage.

I agree a remaster and a series would have been epic and given the other games in the Sonic franchise, the audio should be an easy fix. Would be happy to have one either as a fan game or a formal remaster as long as they don’t butcher the characters like Sonic Boom did.

@@speedbreaker5529 Exactly.With the technology today, this would've been absolute PEAK too if done so. But alas.

Might be something to look in to the near future when people have had enough of these modern ones and curious enough about remaking the only Sonic RPG game made for the DS.

Agreed, takes ALOT more getting used to even with balloons; Took MANY attempts when I tried this on emulator and is pretty brutal.

Yeah, seems like in this game, she low key betrayed Team Sonic in Blaze's story (With Knuckles and Amy also before going to WP and AL as Blaze) which I did not expect given how she's the MVP support character in Sonic Chronicles and sweet character she usually has.

A 3D version of void would have been epic to use in ultimate, though the stages would change even further to compensate for both Void and Frenzy and similarly for Burst. Why it’s not in ultimate nor all wisps there, I do not know why given they had room to put in Ghost which was in neither of the releases. Guess the only hope is to have a mod or a fan game release.

@@speedbreaker5529 yeah

The mechanics of this game are quite interesting and that and how the game looks overall drew me to this game to begin with.

Thank you! This would be ideal, however given the high chances of being countered in a real run, I’d stick to using 2 Axe Kicks unless I’m way behind with nothing to lose as this is faster by only a few seconds.

The internet was also how I knew ispeedrunning existed too; Unfortunately, the highly RNG dependent Nega Mother Wisp is all we get in the entire Colors franchise.

S Ranks are far more generous here than in the former 2 games and has far less pitfalls which makes this game an ideal starting point for newcomers whether casual or a speedrunner.

Are you playing on console or on emulator?

Idk if I came late but with a desmume older version the bug didn't happen for me

@SergiLópezMendiola-r3d I've not actually had this on emulator, so i can't give you an answer for that, but could try running it on emulator and get back to you.

I find hat the 3DS is more responsive with the inputs unlike the previous DS models so I’d recommend getting the 3DS onwards if you can plus you can play 3DS games.

I started with ILs (Individual Levels) before running any of the full game categories and that allowed me to incorporate some of the higher risk strategies in and then worked on from there.

I think it’s one of the only Sonic game where Sonic and Blaze are both cheered on; Makes it a bit more unique as well as the 2D boost mechanic

Too easy, no sweat!

In the Any% route, Echidna Rush is pretty much the only attack move used on Nocturne on Knuckles’ team and that move is very overpowered even though we don’t have as much level up as you would in a casual playthrough. When I played this blind, I had both Cream and Shadow on Knuckles’ team as Cream’s Refresh ability means saving a lot of POW items and Shadow can use Chaos Rift without worrying about the POW meter. At the time, I called this team the Power Team (Or the A team) while Sonic’s is the B Team, though I used Big and Omega at the time. In the speedrun route though the fastest 3 characters in the overworld are Sonic, Shadow and Rouge. I have Shadow on Knuckles’ team because he’s stronger and faster than Rouge is which means he’s faster for overworld movement, able to heal characters before the enemy attacks during the fights with his greater speed should things not go to plan and a more effective meat shield when going through the mandatory fights, especially for Ix Power Throne who can easily 2 shot a character. If he was on Sonic’s team here, then he’d have to replace Big as I need Amy for Fastball which is Sonic’s greatest attack move he can use here and Big is a more effective meat shield than pretty much every character anyways. Hope this helps and sheds some light on things!

It’s a very handy trick and works especially for Blaze as she decelerates faster than Sonic in a normal spin dash. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank You! Sometimes RNG lines up quite nicely in a real time run!

I personally prefer the Rush series to any other 2D game given the boost mechanics, speed, shortcuts and overall look of it; The easy difficulty makes only minor changes to the Act Stages, from what I gather, the enemy rooms remain the same; The main reason this is ran in easy is for the bosses as it reduces the RNG factor and reduces the HP from 8 to 6. The act stages stay the same for executing of the shortcuts and skips however, easy mode doesn’t mitigate those unfortunately.

@@speedbreaker5529 Me too, I love the Sonic Rush games, my favourite in the series. Also yeah, I knew easy mode reduced the boss hp, but it always felt wierd to me that it was all easy mode did, considering it altered some of the level design/enemy placement in the advance games.

I’ve noticed in the newer Advance speedruns, there’s an easy difficulty which is used I think for similar reasons, but didn’t know about the enemy placements changing. It sounds more plausible if it reduces the enemies in all act stages as well, but SRA at least tells you it’s the Boss difficulty only.

Thank you! RNG can be the biggest factor, but can me minimised best with Act execution. I stream live runs when I can, I’ve been really busy lately so time’s not really been on my side, but things have lightened up a bit on my end so expect to see some more runs out there.

Thank You! Will definitely go for the sub-40 RTA at least at some point and then optimise further; As for Generations, I’ll have to place time aside as I’ve not played much of it lately.

The jump definitely shows from the players from low count to super high count in complaints and just flat out hate

@Vlumpty_Vonty I'd say probably using very many balloons. If that didn't work, they either lucked out or used a ton of pauses of which the latter I didn't notice until not too long ago. Given the info, I wonder when the earliest someone unlocked the true story was at, that would be quite interesting given the hate this Special Stage gets about its difficulty.

Can be considered, given I’ve only had normal hot dogs

Thank you! This took some time to get to this skill level as I’ve played this for years and this route also given that the All Red Rings part was quite challenging; I have an updated version of this which is almost 10 minutes better and I plan on bettering this to a sub-1:35:00 at some point but got other milestones to reach first. If you’re interested in running this game, it’s great fun once you’re used to it and get to speed around as the Blue Blur himself!

Good Luck and enjoy the awesomeness that is this game!

@ianrennebohm8294 Works much better in the Sonic version as you can land the last hit sooner, but it's awesome to see that this method works out so smoothly. It's always fun to hit higher speeds than the game sets you even casually and can really live like Sonic "Look at me, I'm too fast for this" Also, the spindash jump exploit allows you to run at higher speed until the direction button is changed and don't have to worry about losing speed at any time as you would in this and other games that utilise the spin dash.

Just the wrong one…

You’re welcome! Once you know how to fully utilise burst, this mission is a piece of cake!

Glad I’m not the only one! 😆

For some reason, at that point, the current doesn’t carry you all the way across which is super annoying on a speedrun paced route as that’s around a 30 second time loss for that part alone. Thankfully it’s very rare to happen in an RTA environment.

@kfuruhashi8 That's great! Good to see others making short work of this stage!

@vegetables26 So basically the results screen of a main level

@saltycritic This did a lot of attempts, practice and routing to get it to this point; Most of my improvements happened while practising and improving "All Red Rings" and even other challenge modes.

Thank you! Believe it or not, my updated version is over 12 seconds faster! Check it out on this link here: m.ua-cam.com/video/DHp48FVglSo/v-deo.html This is one of my favourite speedrunning games given it’s cool mechanics, speed and appearance as opposed to other 2D Sonic games. You even get to see the other characters in this game as opposed to the Wii version which I am highly in favour of. Where does this game fit on your favourite games list?

@@speedbreaker5529 no problem. You seem very skilled at speed running. Hope you get recognised for it if not already 👍

@saltycritic Thanks, I've been running this and the other 2 games of the Rush Trilogy for quite a long time and the skills build up along the way. But asides from that they're my favourite speed games so far and don't intend on putting these away any time soon.

Only Rush Adventure allows you to watch a replay of a level done in time attack mode which was how I got into recording in the first place. For the other 2 Rush games, they don’t have that capability and so without a capture card, you can either use a tripod (Which is how I recorded my older videos pre capture card) or use a mobile phone off the edge of a table (Still remembering how that works, but is what Brandino showed me who’s a Generations 3DS runner). Unfortunately recording a 3DS gameplay is a much greater deal of work than ANYONE would have liked.

@user-tf7gb2zq3d I've always found the encounters being triggered funny as the enemy just walks into you, which we know won't go down well in real life. Glad another is interested in this game! Personally, I like the POW moves and the battle system as it truly showcases the characters abilities and strengths.

@@speedbreaker5529 Yeah, the game is cool. I will complete it once I get a ds again. I tried all the pc and phone emulators, but it kept on crashing

Yeah, I’d highly recommend using a console given that you have much greater control and the crash issue is mostly non existent though still possible (Given I’ve had runs end due to game crashing, oof…). I’d say it’s pretty much: On Console > PC Emulator > Mobile Emulator

@@speedbreaker5529 yep

@@speedbreaker5529 have you ever completed before? Sonic chronicles?

Thank you! Colors (DS) also doesn’t have boost invulnerability as opposed to the first 2 games, however the movement mechanics are very similar as well as the sprites. So while I wouldn’t call Colors (DS) Sonic Rush 3, I’d still say it’s part of the trilogy set given their similarities, heck I don’t even call Rush Adventure Sonic Rush 2 even though it is and there are still noticeable differences such as it’s single rather than double stories.

@@speedbreaker5529 The gameplay and physics *are* very similar since they're on the same engine, but there are many differences. I mainly don't like calling Colors (DS) a Rush 3 because it literally isn't called that, along with the things I previously mentioned. Sonic Colors (DS) is under the "Same name, different game" sort of thing companies used to do for lower end consoles. It has the same story, enviroments, cutscenes, *same box art even* as the other Sonic Colors, not being it's own original game like Sonic Rush/Sonic Rush Adventure.

I see what you mean given it’s Wii counterpart; Fair enough about it’s non-originality, however, it’s mostly the same engine part which is why it’s seen as part of the trilogy in runs and no other game on DS has this type of engine. Personally, I’d have preferred to keep the boost invulnerability as it looks really cool but the developers have tried to make it a lot like the Wii version with all of these moves and it’s substantially shorter than Rush and Rush Adventure but a lot less pitfalls.

@@speedbreaker5529 Sonic 4 uses the rush engine. Is Sonic 4 actually rush 4? Nah I'm kidding

If so, they’ve now made an entirely Boostless Sonic Rush game canon which means far less skips essentially crashing the Trilogy given the boost giving the Rush was a fundamental. Not the best move for Sega imo!

Magoo to you too

It’s been far too long since I’ve made one; Laptops in for repairs though and once that’s done, All Levels is next

Do you mean Generations 3DS?

@@Ivan210bluboi yes

@@James-bm7ce I whouldn't call it Rush 4 (as i whouldn't call Colors DS Rush 3 either). But ok

@@Ivan210bluboi it's the closest we got to rush 3 and 4

@@James-bm7ce I guess so.

Back for some more Rush action; All Levels is next so keep an eye out for it!

Thank You! Thankfully, in easy mode, it's much more viable to get in a full game run; Need only to get ack in practice to get this in a further WR run

Thank You! This took a good number of attempts to get but thankfully MUCH easier than the Sonic Version. I'd say better for landing hits given less breaks in-between and is pretty much a free-for-all, but not the best in a run as falling off can be very costly especially near the end. This is much harder to do on normal difficulty than it is on easy; With Sonic, it's barely possible to do groundless, but on normal difficulty, it's good as impossible

Thank You! Just another random failed attempt with some weird antics.

I wish

It's possible infact to take out its entire health bar while staying up the entire time; The record stands at sub-40 and is far easier said than done; For the time being, I've only managed to do this as Blaze on both Easy and Normal difficulties; Link to fight below: ua-cam.com/video/hpYLPRQgMT4/v-deo.html
