@@ViRrOorR Human plays the game one frame at a time with savestates, and it’s then brought up to normal speed. The inputs are saved and can be re-run, which is probably the “robot” you’re mentioning
Fun fact: Knuckles can indeed play in the Death Egg Zone, but only through the use of the debug menu. Trying to put him in the Doomsday Zone turns him into a flying, glitchy mess of an echidna, lol! I tried all this on a retail console before doing it on an emulator many years ago.
@@quinnmcmurtrie8022 Given how often they're able to put Knuckles into areas meant exclusively for Sonic, "impossible" really means "we don't know how to do it yet"
@@quinnmcmurtrie8022Without the use of Debug mode, Knuckles can’t jump high enough to damage the act 1 boss in Death Egg Zone. He can do all of act 2 just fine, including the act 2 boss and final boss.
For a better ring attack for Knuckles, you could use a save file where you have collected all the chaos emeralds, and entered a special stage after Launch Base, but not having all the super emeralds. That way, you can get a bonus 50 rings from the giant rings in the first six zones and still be able to glide and climb walls.
Nice to see the Glitches and Oversights finally getting some revival, looks like there's a handful of new tricks too. Wonder if this'll be attempted at a future GDQ event . . .
Great! Now, let’s see you do the same thing, but while collecting all the rings in all the special stages, and then collecting every giant ring you can find in every level after getting all the Chaos Emeralds… BOTH times. As Sonic. Call it, “Ultimate/Insane Ring Attack.”
There actually is a run much like this, it occurs in new game+ mode so special stages are not 'enterable' but they do get every giant ring, and all other rings, as Sonic and Tails. ua-cam.com/video/wm2KdDb9lcU/v-deo.html Kaan55 is the 3rd author listed as [...] for some reason.

You said Hydropolis so i'm gonna do the calculations myself
Zone with most rings: Carnival Night
Zone with least rings: Sky Sanctuary
you could say it's a ring thing really
I love ring attack TASes. It’s so interesting to see the unique routes the player takes.
the player? you mean the robot
@@ViRrOorR TASes are made by humans
@@ezgames6925 but I mean its code right ? there is not an actual human playing this perfectly like that?

well i'm a player aka pro player
Sonic TAS are always the highlight of this channel. Really puts emphasis on _'Gotta go fast'_
I don't think they'd accept "Gotta Go Fast" as a medical condition
@@michaelhaverbusch9142 lmao
Tried watching this while ill, the whole thing felt like some fever dream. Amazing work though!!
Hope you get better man
@@Taha632RMF Thank you!! 😊
Not his vid and that dumb virus on my phone
1:25 This is what I love the most about the Knuckles speedruns in a TAS, where the player does a Mega Man X-style wall jump to climb faster.
Easily the most sylish and entertaining tas I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

Tails also becomes a mess when he goes to Doomsday Zone.
Also it's impossible to clear Death Egg Act 1 as Knuckles due to his jump height.
@@quinnmcmurtrie8022 Given how often they're able to put Knuckles into areas meant exclusively for Sonic, "impossible" really means "we don't know how to do it yet"
While you can make it so you can play Death Egg Zone as Knuckles, he actually can’t reach the act 1 boss. He has no problem with act 2.

Knuckles: "Here I go, breaking the laws of physics again, for that sweet, sweet ring money"
I like how knuckles just gets into an alternate reality and then comes back in hydrosity zone

I remember this TAS, it was amazing seeing yogwogs timeline of Trying to make this tas possible
Never knew there were that many rings in each stage... Very intriguing...
One of the reasons this is one of my favourite games is because you can find many ways to break it intentionally and unintentionally
Nice to see the Glitches and Oversights finally getting some revival, looks like there's a handful of new tricks too. Wonder if this'll be attempted at a future GDQ event . . .
Total earned 8475 rings highest 656 rings ( marble garden )
It 646 rings in marble garden zone act 1
Thank u i was looking for this 😂😁
And this is how Knuckles was able to start the Chaotix.
So is a ring attack a run where you have to collect all possible rings or am I missing something? At 1:52 it looks like a ring is missed.
He gets them around 3:18
@@redbird_studios Ahh I see, hey thanks for that
_Knuckles Will No Longer Commit Tax Fraud_
Got to see some loop back areas, nice!
This really takes "walls are a suggestions" to the next level
i like how this game has zero lag despite that unintended insanely fast scrolling
Love when games get speedruned 🗿
Nice tas, and knuckles
"That's a nice floor you got there!"
Mind if I go through it?
Thanks to those runs I able to know how big is those stages
Letting the computer and automation do it's thing is just amazing!
WOAH 4:25
20:37 Tails is forever a traitor.
if you think this challenge is awful wait until you hear "ring attack new game +" where super/hyper rings also count
Satisfying

1:51 Are those rings unobtainable in the lower left?
EDIT: They did get them :)
Believe it or not, Knuckles comes back for those around the 3:18 mark.
@@jsmith9x Ohh, I didn't recognize it due to the background change! That's really cool, thanks for pointing that out!

1:51 missed some rings there, no?
At 3:19, he goes back to collect them.
You gotta go fast
But you shouldn't

Knuckles the ring collector!
how do the spindashes sound like that
Incroyable gameplay car il va dans des endroits qui lui est habituellement inaccessible comme la partie supérieure de Angel island 2!

Very nice run.

560 rings
8:03
8:12 never mind
Other detail: now we can how many lives we can get grabbing only the rings!
sure
Some one-up monitors are collected too
Great! Now, let’s see you do the same thing, but while collecting all the rings in all the special stages, and then collecting every giant ring you can find in every level after getting all the Chaos Emeralds… BOTH times. As Sonic. Call it, “Ultimate/Insane Ring Attack.”
I remember getting 900-plus rings in Ice Cap Zone as Sonic once. Got all those electric pinball special stages.
There actually is a run much like this, it occurs in new game+ mode so special stages are not 'enterable' but they do get every giant ring, and all other rings, as Sonic and Tails.

Is is possible to loose some of the coins that are following your electric shield thing due to you being too fast?
