I can't count how many times I've started the Chemical plant boss, only to die because tails somehow manages to land a hit and I phase through the boss into the pit.
The the boss fights are a joke for the most part only during the last stage I have trouble. I'm no speedrunner but I've played through sonic 2 many times
it took me 2 days to complete chemical plant zone when i first played it but now i can complete it easily. it took me 4-5 hours to beat silver sonic in death egg zone but now i can beat it in like 16 seconds. all the levels are easy once you get used to them
I remember the first time I got to Metropolis Zone in Sonic 2 I thought those spinning copper mesh cylinders in the background and which you spiral through looked so real! And in Sky Chase Zone, robot turtles riding rocket turtles? AWESOME! Then that music in Wing Fortress Zone sounded so EPIC! Almost as epic as jumping onto the exterior of a rocket, hanging on for dear life, when the sky turns black and you realized you've reached orbit! Yeah, I was 11....
We all were at some point I thought at some point in my life that metal gear solid is as close to real life as you can look, while still being a fun game. Turns out I was right things have only gotten worse.
I don't remember what ad or sweepstakes I won this game on but, I waited MONTHS for it to arrive in the mail. It said 6-8 weeks. I gave up all hope. Then one day in an manila envelope was Sonic 2. God bless the 90's.
Sonic 2 is the best documented classic Sonic game in terms of speedrunning. Here's a good source to get you started. kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2
Probably Unrelated: Nitsuja's TAS of this game 8 years ago introduced me to the internet, UA-cam, and the Sonic series as a whole. Thank you Nitsuja, thank you.
The thought of speedrunning Mystic Cave fills me with dread, whenever I got Super Sonic on that level it generally meant going too fast for the screen, then hearing tje death sound and catching up just in time to see the crusher / pit that got me.
Metropolis 3 was amazing without pause buffering. I always pause buffer there. Oil Ocean 2 was normal, the spin roll at the end kinda scared me cause I do my roll a tiny tiny tiny bit after the certain music cue, but still very successful run. Great job
you criticized youself on get some bad times like wasting an entire 15 seconds?! I do not believe you understand the accomplishment you made here sir O__O
You saw how he had to repeat the same procedure twice, it was just straight up lost time. You always want to know what the best possible is; the real skill comes in stringing together enough best possibles and dont mess *anything* up and you just might have yourself a world record.
This was so cool and nostalgic, I remember finding little glitches when me and my siblings would play this incessantly because we had no other Genesis games haha
That was fucking Hilarious! Dr. egg-robot-man-nic couldn't even do anything before he explodes LOL XD that submarine one especially, gets half destroyed before he could even break surface LOL :D
This game plays so much smoother than Sonic 1. You get longer runways and less stops like Marble Zone, Springyard Zone and Labyrinth zone where you're waiting on platforms to jump on.
Was watching high score on Netflix. Just got done with the Sega episode and came right to YT for Sonic speedrun vids. This one brings back the memories
Correcion: La razon del porque Genocide City se encuentra asi no es porque te mueres al inicio, si no que esta zona estaba planeada para jugarse luego de pasarse los actos Ocean Oil Zone, pero por el nombre del nivel tuvieron que eliminar la idea y eliminaron el contenido del mismo, siendo esa la razon del porque no hay nada dentro del mismo, al final fue reemplazado por Metallic Madness (Aunque creo que lograron restaurar los archicos de Genocide City asi que si estan curiosos pueden buscar para ver cono iba a ser la zona)
How to make Eggman's Day Bad: Step 1: Be like Tee-N-Tee Step 2: Make a speedrun Step 3: Skip all long things Step 4: Be fast Step 5: Dont get damaged or you will be oofed or flinged And that's it
Dr Robotnik hammered Sonic on the Aquatic Zone, and not a single ring went missing! I call bullshit (without explanation on that). Great run everything aside mate 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Bigcokeslushie722 In the Sonic 2 speedrun (should come up as a top result) The guy talks about the spin dash saying the quicker you charge and release the faster you go so the best speed runners can do 6 revs of a spin dash then release it they delay the release then the speed will decrease slightly
Take off at the speed of sound Bright lights and colors all around I'm running wild livin' fast and free Got no regrets inside of me Not looking back Not giving up Not letting go I'll keep on running I'm gonna reach for the stars Although they look pretty far I'm gonna find my own way And take a chance on today A sky with stars so bright The colors feel so right I've never felt like this I'll keep on running A sky with stars so bright The colors feel so right Just take my hand we're gonna Reach for the stars tonight... tonight... Wake up livin' day by day Do what I want and I'll do it my way The world is flying right below my feet Got no regrets inside of me Not looking back Not giving up Not letting go I'll keep on running I'm gonna reach for the stars Although they look pretty far I'm gonna find my own way And take a chance on today A sky with stars so bright The colors feel so right I've never felt like this I'll keep on running A sky with stars so bright The colors feel so right Just take my hand we're gonna Reach for the stars tonight... tonight... I got it in my sight The colors feel so right Got my feet of the ground I'll keep on running Oh, I can feel it now The colors all around Just take my hand We're gonna reach for the stars... Just take a chance We'll do it right, oh yeah We're gonna reach for the stars Just take my hand We'll take a chance tonight Reach for the stars tonight... tonight...
5:05 I think thst sprite glitch happens when you hit Eggman as he's gonna hit the tower. He gets launched of the screen, and the explosion sprites only are now the animals. XD
The first act of emerald hill...just when you did the jumping thing I got this big grin...eyes started to water...than I laughed uncontrollably at how bad I am.

Ironically, those who get the most extra lives are the ones who need them least
Jack Duripper that's so true
Deep as Volcano Valley
Jack Duripper especially in sky chase zone
Jack Duripper say that to my around 50 lives in s4e2 AND s3&k ;-;
WooSung Choi But not as deep as Lava Reef.
everyone underestimates Tails' abilities, that mofo landed, fixed and FLEW BACK in under 90 seconds. Props to that kid
Yes
Also props to him dying and then flying back in people really underestimate him
Not to mention he was *5* when he did this.
Dorkly acknowledged it. Tails now sees it as a curse.
Tails be like "SLOW THE F DOWN PLZ"
Game Fox What is "F"
Naji Lacey the f stands for fast
Johnny Hotdog umm sort of
Game Fox jgjhfjjhtjitgfxjfdhxhjyw
tjnvgkxgidhffhfzlvjhfffJclhjhbljkjzmxn
No F stands for Fork because Sonics Counter is in a forking pattern (in driving) where it divides and Tails is more adept to a spoon pattern
I can't count how many times I've started the Chemical plant boss, only to die because tails somehow manages to land a hit and I phase through the boss into the pit.
Ben there
turn off tails lol
You have to get some insane luck so the platforms face up
Yep
Oh that happened to me. A lot of times…
Robotnik isn't even getting a chance to do anything lol
Joker fuck robotnik
Robotnik: "I'm here! It's time fo..."
Sonic: "No".
@@DajeHibus true
The the boss fights are a joke for the most part only during the last stage I have trouble. I'm no speedrunner but I've played through sonic 2 many times
Indeed brother
5:05 he was too late to save them
v LegendaryBearCub LOL, Eggman already burned them alive!
All that speed..And he was still too slow
He was too early.
They turned into giant cheetoes
BoSseye Dragon that is a first frame trick
This is how this game was meant to be played.............FAST!
John Miller is this on the gba I don't remember
Bryan __ The first game is but the port is terrible
Gotta speed!
Gotta go fast!
@@bryan__8658 woah 6 years
i hope you notice this
and no this not on gba but genesis
14:50 - 15:20 "To understand, I gotta tell you about parallel universes."
Went through that act so fast the sign at the end wasn't even ready for him.
Sonic won't have to worry about dying ever again with all those continues
I like how the ending credits makes up 1/5 of the video lol
Awesome speed run
And how a good portion is the stage clear moments.
No they dont close but it doesn't
I had such a hard time in chemical plant stage 2 as a kid then this guy comes along and just JUMPS OVER IT LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!!
Dysnomia *ikr*
Same with me. I can't count how many times I've failed this stage.
fr i lost about 10 lives trying to get past act 2
it took me 2 days to complete chemical plant zone when i first played it but now i can complete it easily.
it took me 4-5 hours to beat silver sonic in death egg zone but now i can beat it in like 16 seconds.
all the levels are easy once you get used to them
I legit lost so many lives in act 2 of chemical plant zone..
I remember the first time I got to Metropolis Zone in Sonic 2 I thought those spinning copper mesh cylinders in the background and which you spiral through looked so real!
And in Sky Chase Zone, robot turtles riding rocket turtles? AWESOME!
Then that music in Wing Fortress Zone sounded so EPIC! Almost as epic as jumping onto the exterior of a rocket, hanging on for dear life, when the sky turns black and you realized you've reached orbit!
Yeah, I was 11....
Justin Franks but it still *is* epic
Then in Sonic 3 you just turn into Super Sonic and fly into space under your own power!
We all were at some point
I thought at some point in my life that metal gear solid is as close to real life as you can look, while still being a fun game. Turns out I was right things have only gotten worse.
Soundtrack in Sonic 2 is way better than the first, I think. Such nostalgia. Aaargh. Kew.
Jouwl generally, yeah sonic 2 is considered to do pretty much everything better than the first, it's a great sequel.
Jouwl oh wait I thought you were talking about gameplay lmao yeah the soundtrack is awesome
Lies sonic 1 has the best soundtrack by far
I actually thought the opposite and thought this soundtrack sounded lazy and rushed and the first one was better
@@Christian4life86 what about sonic 3's final boss music?
My jaw is literally dropped at the shortcuts he took in both Chemical Plant acts. Jeez, man!
This seems like the kind of game play you'd expect playing as the fastest thing alive.
As the sonic
6:24 i love how the sound effects sync with the music
@sonic the human gaming
lines-up well.
16:40 was always my favourite level as a kid.
Very impressive speed run
Ditto
Casino night made me realize something when. I was a kid. I have a gambling problem.
Why was I so afraid of Metal Sonic?? Holy crap that was perfectly executed.
Isaac Cantu I'm pretty sure that's Silver Sonic
Hey I never noticed there was a difference, thanks for pointing that out.
Maybe cause you get hurt once you die
5:07, jumping fires lol
he released school of bunnies on fire. "family guy reference"
Go! Be free explosions!
There noodles
jumping BUGS
Reblotic Tails what have we done
High speed sneakers + invincibility = best feeling in the world!
Had a crappy day, randomly found this video and it made it a little better. Thanks for the nostalgia! Love this soundtrack
12:53 What kind of sorcery is this?!
Clipping
Slope glitch
I don't remember what ad or sweepstakes I won this game on but, I waited MONTHS for it to arrive in the mail. It said 6-8 weeks. I gave up all hope. Then one day in an manila envelope was Sonic 2. God bless the 90's.
I just started practicing for speed running on this game, using this as my goal. I've got a lot of work to do. hahahaha.
Sonic 2 is the best documented classic Sonic game in terms of speedrunning. Here's a good source to get you started. kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2
Thank you!
Did you do it?
TeeNTee314
Any update on this mate just wondering if you improved?
I like that the adorable explosions were let free in the second zone lol
A speed run that few people could ever hope to match... Fucking Eggman still faster.
While I don't understand everything that has been done, it is very impressive and entertaining to watch, especially since it's non-TAS. Good work!
C'était malade Sonic!
What?! Je veux pas sharer mes commentaires UA-cam sur Google+... :-(
HUEHUEHU NO CHOIZE Googz Iz overm|nd
Sonic, le jeu parfait pour speedrunner.
On va voir tous tes commentaires sur les vidéos de Chris Evans!
Ça va être juste une série de "
That was the best Aquatic Ruin boss fight I've ever seen, well done sir!
Tails deserves headpats 4 2 reasons:
1. He's best boi
2. Probably the fastest fox alive cause of the fact that he almost always can keep up with sonic
ahhh invincibility plus fast shoes equal a 10-15 second super sonic
Josh Whitaker without the extra jump height
Gumstain Mcdougal
And without the awesome Super Sonic theme.
And without the Super Saiyan look.
And without constant ring loss per second
i have 2 things to say 1 nice run 2 rip tails
Hahaha
That final boss battle. It's such an obvious way to beat him why didn't I think of it
and tails is like "what the fuck just happened here"
Sonic is hungover and wants to finish fast to get home to bed lol
kept laughing at tails trying to catch up lmaoooo
zarthelda yeah, like sorry boss.
Literally, a speedrun.
Probably Unrelated: Nitsuja's TAS of this game 8 years ago introduced me to the internet, UA-cam, and the Sonic series as a whole. Thank you Nitsuja, thank you.
3:46 love how the checkpoint syncs with the music

21:08
eggman's burning calories with this one
you criticized youself on get some bad times like wasting an entire 15 seconds?! I do not believe you understand the accomplishment you made here sir O__O
[GD] Delta damn that's fast
You saw how he had to repeat the same procedure twice, it was just straight up lost time. You always want to know what the best possible is; the real skill comes in stringing together enough best possibles and dont mess *anything* up and you just might have yourself a world record.
This was so cool and nostalgic, I remember finding little glitches when me and my siblings would play this incessantly because we had no other Genesis games haha
5:10 Looks like he let the sentient chicken legs free onto the world...
this was seriously so entertaining. thank you and good job.
21:39 is such a cool moment for me
Glad you chose to save the animals ;)
Seriously how good is this music? Its so good I listened to it twice. Feeling nostalgic as a mar fauker...
All those poor animals falling to their death after Sonic frees them from their Cyber implants.
This should be a good ending because robotnik dont have any time to collect the emeralds
5:04 He saved fire! 😂
eggman was defeated so fast that the game glitched out and replaced the animal sprites with fire sprites 🤣
Well played man this was entertaining from beginning to end. keep up the good work! \o/
Agreed :)
good job jirard
RIP turtles on Sky Chase Zone.
That was fucking Hilarious! Dr. egg-robot-man-nic couldn't even do anything before he explodes LOL XD that submarine one especially, gets half destroyed before he could even break surface LOL :D
This was awesome. I'd always make Sonic or Tails stand on the capsule button and 'bow' to the audience while my score for the zone was calculated :P
Oil Ocean 2 run was wild lol.
Gratulations are the most important and important to get to know
You are so good i thought you were doing TAS great video!
So much anxiety as a child about playing sky chase zone jumping on the ship. Guy just jumps through the propellor and skips the level lol
4:25
Bro, imagine having a race in ARZ2 and your friend drops into the water, only for them to outspeed you by a LANDSLIDE
This game plays so much smoother than Sonic 1. You get longer runways and less stops like Marble Zone, Springyard Zone and Labyrinth zone where you're waiting on platforms to jump on.
Robotnik: "At last, Sonic, you've finally met your match! My Silver Sonic will obliterate you!"
*Eight seconds later*
"Curse you Soooooooniiiiic!!!!!"
10:22 that spin dash!
I don't understand how I got through some of these levels as a kid.
Its amazing how many hits he gets off so quickly on the bosses. If I tried any of those I'd die on the spot. Especially oil ocean.
SEGA: We put great details in our games and make them super fun and enjoyable
Speed runners: Well I really enjoyed going through all of your walls
Your so good at this game really cool bro
Was watching high score on Netflix. Just got done with the Sega episode and came right to YT for Sonic speedrun vids. This one brings back the memories
Wow, just wow.... also it's kinda funny how a sonic speed run just fits. Most speed runs look weird. With sonic it looks perfect
I like Tails, when he's crouch
OOOOOOOH, YOU'RE GOIN' FYEEEEEEEST!
Amazing. Impressed!
Correcion: La razon del porque Genocide City se encuentra asi no es porque te mueres al inicio, si no que esta zona estaba planeada para jugarse luego de pasarse los actos Ocean Oil Zone, pero por el nombre del nivel tuvieron que eliminar la idea y eliminaron el contenido del mismo, siendo esa la razon del porque no hay nada dentro del mismo, al final fue reemplazado por Metallic Madness (Aunque creo que lograron restaurar los archicos de Genocide City asi que si estan curiosos pueden buscar para ver cono iba a ser la zona)
Wow, that Metropolis skip in Act 2. I had no idea that was a thing. Awesome
How to make Eggman's Day Bad:

And that's it
Feels weird watching this in HD, great memories, back when games meant something
im always crying, when see any sonic endings ;( PS: Nice SP Bro)
Badass! Great Work 😃👏
Took me like 20 years to beat the Death Egg. My inner 6 year old felt so vindicated when it happened.
Unbelievably high level! Man, how many did you train to complete this task?And which kind of joy pad do you use?
I wasted countless hours on this in high school. All the sounds, colors and sheer speed - the game was a drug
I would love to try and learn the level layouts in this game if it had a time trial mode like Sonic CD.
There is a level select cheat code
Dr Robotnik hammered Sonic on the Aquatic Zone, and not a single ring went missing! I call bullshit (without explanation on that). Great run everything aside mate 🙌🏻🙌🏻
That moment your stomach starts to turn a little because the game's scenery is going too fast.
Pratik Hazari Emerald Hill gets really trippy with speed shoes.
Wow. Takin those bosses out like a boss. Amazing.
note that TNT is timing by in game time, so to compare it to the TAS, compare it to the TAS's in game time
Once i got to the sky chase i knew i made it .... I used to love the music as a kid
How do you do the crazy fast spin dash/warp thing against objects, like at 0:55 with the speed shoe monitor
Bigcokeslushie722 In the Sonic 2 speedrun (should come up as a top result) The guy talks about the spin dash saying the quicker you charge and release the faster you go so the best speed runners can do 6 revs of a spin dash then release it they delay the release then the speed will decrease slightly
12:51 WTF haha. how the hell did you do that LOL!!
Lol I tried but never got it
Take off at the speed of sound
Bright lights and colors all around
I'm running wild livin' fast and free
Got no regrets inside of me
Not looking back
Not giving up
Not letting go
I'll keep on running
I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today
A sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
I've never felt like this
I'll keep on running
A sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
Just take my hand we're gonna
Reach for the stars tonight... tonight...
Wake up livin' day by day
Do what I want and I'll do it my way
The world is flying right below my feet
Got no regrets inside of me
Not looking back
Not giving up
Not letting go

I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today

A sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
Just take my hand we're gonna
Reach for the stars tonight... tonight...
I got it in my sight

Got my feet of the ground
I'll keep on running
Oh, I can feel it now
The colors all around

Just take a chance
We'll do it right, oh yeah
We're gonna reach for the stars
Just take my hand
We'll take a chance tonight
Reach for the stars tonight...
tonight...
W speedrun bro
am I the only one to get the death barrier at 20:27 losing all your lives forced to restart
5:05 I think thst sprite glitch happens when you hit Eggman as he's gonna hit the tower. He gets launched of the screen, and the explosion sprites only are now the animals. XD
So no one is gonna talk about all the animals sonic let die in the sky chase zone?
0:01 I can hear that logo.
The first act of emerald hill...just when you did the jumping thing I got this big grin...eyes started to water...than I laughed uncontrollably at how bad I am.
If I’d have discovered level wraps when I was a kid playing this my mind would have been blown
Hill Top zone is hands down my fav music in this game
