There is a big difference between no coin runs and no ring runs. In Mario, coins are just a bonus. In Sonic, rings are a gameplay mechanic. Also, the Studiopolis Act 1 boss should be the end of the run even if you did get past Chemical Plant. I don't need to explain.
You can actually skip the transition bits on the Studiopolis Act 1 boss if you jump in just the right way. Not sure if you can skip ALL of them though...
The thing about this video is that, although it wasn't possible, it was interesting to watch and learn about how you tackled this challenge. I don't watch because I want it to be possible, I watch because I want to see the process it takes to try. I've seen videos that tell me that it's possible but in an uninteresting way. Great video.
I was actually really satisfied with the result.. there’s something about it being impossible that leaves me more satisfied than all the Mario vids where they manage. Sonic rings are just everywhere in most of his games and this was a treat to watch
Can you beat sonic mania without pressing left OR right? Click here to find out! ua-cam.com/video/5WDm5I1fbMc/v-deo.html Sadly, no mainline 2d sonic game is probably possible without collecting any rings. I dont plan on trying any other ringless challenges in 2d sonic games, but I have some other ideas planned. Using debug mode is cheating. I cant just use debug mode to skip rings. If I allowed that I might as well go into the level select and just skip to the last level as well.
In the other games, the Debug mode cheat reveals how loops really work. You don't have to run around the loop, you have to pass a threshold near the top of the loop to switch the colision of the loop that you're on. Now im not sure if this works on Mania, or if the ring hitbox is too big to let you reach it, but it's worth looking into if you haven't already.
The hard boiled heavy boss fight in studiopolis makes you automatically pick up 3 rings partway through the fight, it would've been impossible to avoid those too...
I thought you'd be able to make it a lot further, knowing that there are a ton of routes you can take. I think we're all just as surprised that it ended so early. But you put a lot of work into this! That whole elaborate character swap is where I would have definitely drawn the line
"Can you beat Sonic Mania without collecting any Rings?" UA-cam: okay yeah this is diffidently a video on Sonic the Hedgehog 2, lets list that as the game!

This video actually helped me learn that you can cheese the Egg Robo fight in Green Hill Act 2. That boss fight was ridiculous before I knew that fact.
I don’t know if this helps, but loops leading down in sonic mania work weird cause at a certain point in the loop it counts as going through the loop letting you go down. If your lucky the point is where the rings aren’t. Also I know this because I try to find tons of special stages and a lot of them are near loops so this happens to me a lot. Great vid by the way
Does anyone know the source of the model used on the thumbnail? It looks pretty great. Ah, and of course good vid :^ this is like avoiding breathing air
This is honestly so refreshing. I've been thinking for a while that there should be videos like this for the Sonic games considering how many Mario videos there are.
I can beat sonic mania without collecting rings and so can you! Step 1: beat the game and then you unlock debug mode Step 2: go on game options and activate debug mode Step 3: start a new game Step 4: in any level activate the debug menu and fly to the end of the stage If you followed the steps correctly you have beaten sonic mania without collecting a ring I hope this helped 😀
0:18 | Studiopolis trick; once you get over that little ledge, go back down by spindashing, and you SHOULD land on your feet, running. keep on running, and then you'll get knocked into a spring. Then, you'll wanna hold right. There you go. You got flunged into the air.
You could use *DEBUG MODE* and skip the loop... heck, you could summon the goal post at the beginning of each stage and skip the stage. Sure it’s cheating but *it technically is possible to beat Sonic Mania without collecting rings.*
Actually, it might be possible to beat Chemical plant 2. Let me explain. Basically in sonic games (including sonic mania) there is a foreground and action layer. These are usually used around loops. If as tails, you hit the foreground layer trigger, WITHOUT getting the rings while flying, you can just fly around the loop
It's normal that when you restart, they give you back the characters you had at the beginning. If they didn't do that, it could be abused to get a full party of 5 by collecting a character and restarting over and over again. Subbed BTW.
When you asked "is it possible to complete without collecting any rings?" I immediately thought "no" because you're forced to collect 3 of them as you go to the second phase of the Hydrocity Act 2 boss (the washing machine)... although I've seen at least one person who somehow forced himself to the right of the tube and miss them (and get a game over as a result a minute later!) so maybe it's possible.
Without watching the video, i can tell you right now, it's impossible. I doubt you can get pass Chemical Plant. In Mario games, coins are avoidable cause they are there for points and extra lives in Sonic they double as your life bar so i think they're placed in some stages to be basically unavoidable... unless you use debug mode to skip specific parts.
Hey BillehBawb, if you use tails in chemical plant act 1, you can get past the three rings on the higher path. keep moving slightly right until you can fly upwards and over it. Also, when you get to a loop you can fly as tails and touch in between the top ring and the closest on the left to continue. This is because it thinks you touched the advanced layer, so you can continue.
idk if this would work but if you where climbing the wall as knuckles if you can swap while doing that you would be able to get past where you where blocked
I really don’t know why sonic is so underpowered in every sonic game, he should have some advantages against the others They really need to do something about everyone always choosing tails.
Sonic's insta-shield and elemental shields from S3&K are overpowered, and in that game you also get super forms in the first half of the game with Sonic, which you can't achieve with Tails.
Look Im a big sonic fan but my mom never buyed me a console so I can't play all sonic games. I don't know if this is true but my question is, is it true that you can switch characters in son8c mania because if so when I do get a console I'll get along with all other sonic games edit: watches more of the vid and sees that it's true 7:26
Its tragic that you couldnt get past chemical plant zone, but what i just remembered is the boss of studiopolis zone act one. Right after you hit him ,the game takes your controls away and you either run up/down a ramp with rings on them. You cant skip him, because its a boss and you cant jump over the rings because the game wont let you control your character. So that one would have killed the run even if you could get past chemical plant.
ACTUALLY: The main roadblock in CPZ2 can be gotten past. All you need to do is partner clip Ray up onto the higher floor you're trying to get to, then, without trying to switch to Ray first, go very far to the left where there's the bouncy... liquid... stuff? Whatever. Anyways, go over there. Ray will have followed you over there from the ceiling, and there is a place over there where Tails can be on the ground, and Ray can be on screen, which allows you to switch with him. I'm not sure about the rest of the level beyond that being possible ringless, but I know that you can at least get decently far once you get past that. Edit: Ok guys. I finally found it. I found an ENTIRE ROUTE you can take to beat Chemical Plant 2 without ANY RINGS. I will record myself taking that route and publish that as soon as possible. Once it's published, I'll put the UA-cam link here.
