I've seen it on TAS before and always thought it was just for fun! Knowing that the lack of turns is what makes it work is amazing, and incredible to see it done in real time!
I love what they did in the Sonic Origins version of this, you have unlimited lives and they replaced lives with coins, and now you can spend a coin to retry the special stage if you fail 😂 they had to replace the Ice Cap zone music to the inferior beta version though so tradeoff I guess
I am so freaking blown away everytime we see new skips and glitches and my gods this was such a phenomenal run!! While I am not a hardcore speedrunner myself, seeing these things feed my obsession with learning about how games function and all the fascinating ways you can both peel them apart to learn more and break them. Thank you TheSoundDefense for such an impressive run!!!
S3&K is the great game to watch speedruns of, it just breaks so wonderfully, I'm never tired of it. My first time seeing an All Emeralds run though, and the blue spheres segments were much more exciting than I thought they would be! Awesome run!
@@goldengreenfrog5259 Nah, Sonic 2 was cool but not that good. It still had a ton of flaws... Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the true, best Sonic game... Alongside Sonic Mania, of course.
It's nice to see Sonic-only getting some love! I see Tails-only, Knuckles-only, and Sonic-and-Tails, but Sonic only is one of the most interesting in my opinion. =)
Just WOW. WOW! The maximum of cool is watching TheSoundDefense do blue sphere. The complexity of the routes, ugh. Just utterly mind blowing. As is the whole run.
The screen flashes are only present while Hyper Sonic is on the screen. It happens often, but you could look away whenever he transforms, and look back when the boss of each level is defeated?
I honestly never found the ghosts in Sandopolis Zone Act 2 to be any problematic. Every time I played the level they were usually too late to even start attacking me by the time I pulled one of light switches.
I didn't know the behind the sand temple trick was a trick, did it once by mistake as a kid, i sent the flag behind the temple and never could figure out how i did it
Finally someone pronounces Hydrocity zone right! This is a pet peeve of mine! I'm sick and tired of people pronouncing it "Hydrocity" instead of "Hydro-city!" Since the zone is an aquatic city, and "hydrocity" isn't even a word.
damn i didn't know there was a wiiU version of sonic 3 and it sounds horrible. i'm sure there's a good reason why they play this version instead of the pc port, but WHY ? why wouldn't they play on the pc version ?
He is actually playing the Wii Virtual Console version of the game, which is the same as the original game on it's original hardware. Besides, the PC version isn't exactly better than the original.

Those minigames are pure anxiety. That backwards trick was especially horrifying.

"You can do that at home!"
That line killed me.
lol
That first super emerald was so sick
Sonic breaks the fabric of space and does it fast.

Ah, the best Sonic game. Thank you.
No sonic 2 was

@@superplayerex2431 Sonic 3 is the worst-looking game by far.
Watching the backwards blue spheres gives me anxiety I didnt know I had D;
Good job on the run TheSoundDefense!
The special stages while going backwards had my anxiety levels going through the roof
Exceptional run
I love watching game physics being broken. Truly an art form.
The wheel glitch in carnival night zone always blows me away. Such a cool, weird little glitch.
This run has been easily my favorite speedrun so far of the marathon.
It's nice to see Sonic-only getting some love! I see Tails-only, Knuckles-only, and Sonic-and-Tails, but Sonic only is one of the most interesting in my opinion. =)
This game was my jam in 3rd grade. Took me forever to get all the emeralds.
Just WOW. WOW! The maximum of cool is watching TheSoundDefense do blue sphere. The complexity of the routes, ugh. Just utterly mind blowing. As is the whole run.
Aw man. Those Blue Sphere TAS strats are beautiful. I couldn't wait past Angel Island to comment but I'm sure I'm in for many more treats 😃
And time! That was such a good run and a very fun watch. Bravo
57:23 I love this run, but I must disagree, the best tracks in the game are Hydrocity 2, Lava Reef 1, and either Ice cap zone respectively.
Lava reef is so slept on I agree considerably on hydro city and lava reef
Wow, the special stages sure had a lot more optimization than I thought was possible.
I adore watching runs of classic Sonic games, great playing TSD!
Amazing run of a near perfect game
What a treat to watch, thanks Sound Defense!
The maddest thing about this for me is the special stage tech. They were great to watch
6:03
Oh kay!
6:20
OKAY NOW! Look at this dude, swagging out this section.
Nice work- loved this game as a kid!
This run was fire as hell. Amazing category, great runner, great commentary!
this guy is amazing! ive never seen anything like this run
6:00 sick!!!
Que buen speedrun, me recordó a mi infancia
Been watching sonic speedruns for !years! And this is the first time I have ever heard of Hyper Sonic.
Backwards trick is so awesome, respect!
My favorite GDQ run this summer. Incredible work.
Thanks for watching ladies and gentlemen.
Great run TSD! ✌😀
//Regards DMTM.
When you can't watch after Mushroom Hill because of epilepsy :( Amazing job tho!!
The screen flashes are only present while Hyper Sonic is on the screen. It happens often, but you could look away whenever he transforms, and look back when the boss of each level is defeated?
God I wish there was a way to skip the ghost capsule in Sandopolis 2
If you skip the ghost capsule, the moment you touch a checkpoint, the ghosts appear anyway.
I honestly never found the ghosts in Sandopolis Zone Act 2 to be any problematic. Every time I played the level they were usually too late to even start attacking me by the time I pulled one of light switches.
Such a good run
This run is incredible!
Run of show for sure!
heck yeah. amazing run for an amazing game. and very entertaining runner!
Love this game
Absolutely solid.
CLASSIC ! Good job.
I didn't know the behind the sand temple trick was a trick, did it once by mistake as a kid, i sent the flag behind the temple and never could figure out how i did it
You know this is a good sonic run because some points go by so fast they hurt your eyes
Those blue sphere algorithm tricks are making blue sphere man upset.
Finally someone pronounces Hydrocity zone right! This is a pet peeve of mine! I'm sick and tired of people pronouncing it "Hydrocity" instead of "Hydro-city!" Since the zone is an aquatic city, and "hydrocity" isn't even a word.
I like it as one word because it sounds like a cool name instead of Adjective Noun. Just like Metropolis instead of Metro Polis.
Amazig run!
Running backwards, OMG, I was really scared.
gotta go fast
Ahhh... the only way to play video games. At home
5:59 Scarier than any survival horror game I've played.
I thought I was a good Sonic player... I’m just a noob... So awesowe job!
CLEAN
Is anyone else blown the absolutely maximum amount away?
Lava Reef, more like Lava Grief
I didn't know you could actually spin dash those mines in that Mini Death egg gravity boss fight.. always used the "Elevator" like a scrub
YOU CAN HIT THE JUMP BUTTON TO GO FASTER DURING DOOMSDAY ZONE?!
Weird how in half the videos of Sonic 3 online the green is really dark for some reason? This is super noticeable in Mushroom Hill
How could you broken the whoke levels? I'm really impressive!!!!!

There isn't a Wii U version of Sonic 3. He's just using Wii Virtual Console backwards compatibility
