Given I didn't even see the levels after about 13 mins in, I was nowhere close to beating this game... My god this game was more massive than I thought.
The warps dont help I remenber seeing the later city levels but everytime i stop playing ut was on the tree level That is i took a wrong warp and ended up going back...
@@valletas They do help, but you have to take the right ones. It's just that you were expected to figure this out on games back then and they didn't have a guide or anything to help. So good luck not getting sent backwards for the 5th time if you couldn't figure it out.
*The soundtrack couldn't be more "American-developed Sega Genesis game" if it tried. The Mega Drive can sound way better than this GEMS-made OST. Look at Captain America and the Avengers for a truly "MD-like" OST.
I beat it once legit with no skipping; but I had to use a gaming magazine to tell me the right path to take. Before then; I'd just get lost roughly halfway through the game
This was one of the few games we had so me and my brother actually beat it without any cheats or skips. Funny thing is i probably beat Dark Souls dozens of hours faster than Kid Chameleon. Games used to be too punishing.
Ugh; "the final marathon" was still the toughest level to me. I know many would say "bloody swamp" but that level was short and just required good timing on movement.
agreed! I can beat Bloody Swamp like nothing now, first or second try always. The stairway of rubber blocks is the hardest part...but as long as you stop running and just slowly step down, it's a piece of cake.
I used to play this insane game when I was just a child, I remember the first time I managed to get to the last boss: it took the whole day, I was quite sick but I knew I HAD to finish it 😂
I played this with some relatives a few times when I was younger. Once we played 12 hours in a row and got a full game over on the final stage of the game. The next time I played the game, I beat it in 2.5-3 hours by myself. These days it takes me about 60-90 minutes for casual runs.

I just finish the ps3 genesis collection version of this game, damn it was HARD and the floating head with 12 eyes final boss was really creepy, i remember playing this as a kid on my pc, now im 31!!
that was fucking awesome. I struggled as a child to beat this game with my friends and brothers. In my teens I beat it using 'save state' on a computer emulator. Then I finally beat it on the xbox by getting to the warp level, and warping for all my future runs. Game is legit awesome.
Parabens, vc REALMENTE foi bom. Mas Sério, você nao se divertiu, resolver os quebra cabeças de kid chameleon é que esta a graça do jogo. Porem vc é mto bom!
Ele usou GAME GENIE ou algo que modificou o jogo, não é normal "andar abaixado no ar" e tem horas que dá pra ver que ele deveria ser atingido mas passa por dentro dos ataques ileso, se jogasse sem truques nunca faria uma jogada assim, isso aí é fake.
@@Alexander-Targeryan_1978Isso é TAS: Tool Assisted Speedrun. Não é uma pessoa, mas um computador jogando. Vc treina o programa com os objetivos e uma hora ele fica bom e até explora bugs. Tem uns vídeos bons explicando isso no YT.
Never realized just how linear the start of the game is. Up until a few levels before the first boss, the route's the same as the normal fastest route. And even then the deviations are pretty minor.
You were right before, the music is played using the Genesis' YM2613 FM chip and SN76489 PSG chip. GEMS was not a chip, but rather a software program used as an aid in writing music for the hardware
All part of the allure, haha. I beat it after a few years. I was probably ten and it took me a few dozen hours of attempts but hey, that sounds like a pretty good bang for your buck if you ask me. I bought this game in 1992 and I'm still playing it today. That's gotta say something.

This game was so damn sick. I borrowed it from a classmate who owned it, every time I got the chance.
Less than 30mins is insane....!?
This is easily (in my opinion) the best Mega Drive game there was, a huge game especially when trying to get 100%!
The ground crawl/air walk bug looks really funny.

Wow, I didn't know a Genesis game could sound as good as General MIDI on an AdLib card in 1992! nice TAS tho 😎

@@solarflare9078 Or Adventures of Batman and Robin
@@TheBigDynamo Oh hell yes. That one in particular is amazing
Not sure how that's a negative. The songs in this game are all pretty good.
@@solarflare9078 You say ""GEMS-made OST" like it was bad lmao
Never could complete this behemoth of a game without the level skip cheat on level 2. 😭 So many good memories though.

@@Zappero Kid Chameleon was MERCILESS. Taking a wrong warp could kill a run and leave you starting a difficult level with the wrong helmet. 🤣

this is the least of the most kid chameleon youll ever see
This speedrun is so weird :') it's sort of like a 100% but instead you're trying to spend as little time as possible in every level
*I feel better knowing that I wasn't the ''only'' to finish this game, my sanity thanks a lot...*
I'm sorry, we were expected to beat this shit when we were 7?
31:13 Mark Cerny lol
Good game but hard. Never beat it back in the day. Bought it from kay bee toys.
20:46 This is where the game lost me!!!! So tough, but very enjoyable.
I’d love to see this game made in 3D with all these crazy routes and stuff
11:49 deal_with_it
When he dies he says die!! LOL
LOL
"kid" chameleon has the voice of a grown man
"Bummer!"
That's just how badass he is.
It's not like he's a kid kid. He seems to be 16 or so.
I just finish the ps3 genesis collection version of this game, damn it was HARD and the floating head with 12 eyes final boss was really creepy, i remember playing this as a kid on my pc, now im 31!!
I saw many unbelievable things! TAS really is a good way to enjoy the game!
20:40 is hard and why the game needs warps
I can't finish the first ice level.
If you don’t like, don’t play genisis
11:50 "Scuse me while I spaz the fuck out so hard that gravity takes a smoko"
It bloodly swamp time! 20:40
Does this sub 30 minute have credit screen optimizations?
This video becomes torturous to watch past 10 minutes
5:33 insane skills!! GG 🔥🔥
wait a minute, @ 4:00 arent those both the powers from crash bandicoot?
bro you're insane 😂
20:39 pasar ese nivel es difícil y muy frustrante.
The infamous "Bloody Swamp" Level is pure hell!!!

Anyone know how that air crawl works?
*spins to the exit in under 10 seconds*
If Mario were a Metroidvania
He really was too tough to beat
Esse jogo é foda ❤
that thumbnail has a pog if I've ever seen one
That makes literally no sense. 🙄
havent seen like 90% of these levels? and i thought i completed the game????
Why does the TAS restart the round at times when entering a new area?
It’s faster to restart the level than to transform out of the Iron Knight costume
@@Winslinator Including Eyeclops
When i heard music from kid chameleon for sega genisis,i thought it was the actual FM soundchip and not the GEMS soundchip
You were right before, the music is played using the Genesis' YM2613 FM chip and SN76489 PSG chip. GEMS was not a chip, but rather a software program used as an aid in writing music for the hardware
11:48 WTF
I had this exact warping method 10 years ago.
Eu demorrei 5 horas para zerar esse jogo com 13 anos...
What was sega on when making this game?
Great game tho
TAS is so good he looks barely human
Nice choice for a repost 🙂👍
This is perhaps one of the jankiest platformers on the Mega Drive.
Top 5 games I had growing up
Supongo que record del 🌎
OUCH! :)
Cantidad de tiempo invertido para ese nivel de juego
👌🏼👏🏼
Yes thanks
Woot
I had to use the second stage cheat in order to beat this game. I couldn't beat the 3rd drill wall.
I think that I never beat the drill stage on the city.
What Sega was thinking in not put a battery on the cartridge, or a password system?
All part of the allure, haha.
I beat it after a few years. I was probably ten and it took me a few dozen hours of attempts but hey, that sounds like a pretty good bang for your buck if you ask me.

amazing, brilliant!
