Can You Beat Sonic The Hedgehog 3 As Sonic Without Moving Sonic?

- Sonic the hedgehog, the fastest runner in the west, east, south and any other compass directions you could possibly think of.
Famous for running around and moving fast, it's hard to imagine him standing still for a single moment.
But what if that were to change? What if he suddenly decided he weren't going to move an inch? The games would be completely impossible, right?
Well, not in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 or Sonic 3 & Knuckles if you're playing Sonic & Tails mode and a certain orange fox by his side. By using a second controller, Tails can be moved by another player. If he flies above Sonic's head, he can pick him up and carry him for as long as he can stay in the air.
Many years ago, back in the "I made too many Sonic challenges" era, the very first challenge I did was the Sonic Cripple Challenge, where I attempted to beat various acts from these games without moving Sonic at all and carrying him everywhere as Tails. Today, I decided to revive this topic...
The rules are simple. Just reach the end as many acts as possible without once touching any buttons on the first player's controller, excluding the pause button if you really need to stop for any reason. This leaves all the work to Tails. Can any acts be beaten this way? Watch the video and find out...
To see the follow-up video on the Sonic & Knuckles half of the game, watch this video: • Can you Beat Sonic & K...
This sounds like some asshole big brother-tier shenanigans.
"I don't want to play with you, I'm always Tails! And Sonic is too fast so I can't do anything! Waaah!"
"Fine, I'll let you do everything, then."
"...Everything?"
"Of course, love you, bro."
"Yay, thanks!"
"... heh."
oh yes, I wish I had this idea before
I love a coment.
Sounds like something I'd do ngl
Basically “Can tails put up being a Taxi for the whole game?”
Well yes and no
@@IronSK yesn't
*agreed*
_but kinda funny_
wow marble garden zone boss the only area tails doesnt get tired from flying sonic and the rest he does what sense does this make ill tell u NONE!
This is just tails abuse in disguise
and git's STILL blaming the fox for everything about halfway in, what a bully lol
A very careful disguise.
Tails is like, "Why the french is Sonic so lazy today?"
its also sonic abuse
Yeah
Ah, the "Too Many Sonic Challenges" Era. I actually kinda liked those days, truth be told, so this was a pretty cool throwback of sorts!
Same here
What I miss the most from those days is the peaceful UA-cam without all those cartoon police groups.
If I were to make a mod on this, I'd add ONE thing: making Tails capable to interact with any object Sonic can
we know Tails can do that on solo mode, so I don't really see why he shouldn't here.
True, and that could make for a nice addition to 2-player Sonic and Tails gameplay too
@@nthgth the only restriction id make sure to add is that tails cant break open monitors containing barriers if sonic already has one, kind of a bummer to lose the barrier you have for a different one you dont want
@@LiroRaeriyo Maybe it can be so it only applies when Tails is being controlled by the player, and disabled when it's the AI?
This would be one hell of a speedrun category
Funny how I'm actually making a TAS of this challenge right now.
@@PaperMarioParty08How's the TAS going?
And some people say that Tails isn't helpful.
people say MODERN tails is useless
@@DanTheLoler_17sonic adventure would like to have a talk
@@alif-1223 Well, Adventure Tails was before the writing that made everyone but sonic hide and cower. Tails literally freaks out over chaos 0 while having beat chaos 4.
@@nd_4726 damn that is shit writing forces did him dirty
@@olilondonisabum7170 it all started when sonic pushed tails in the elevator in colors,then tails went downhill in terms of writing
Yo, is that the slapping track Sonic Boom from Sonic CD? Y'see, this is why you're my first choice for Sonic content. Good taste, extensive knowledge, and great humour, specifically concerning this series.
Much better than the overrated Live and Learn
Sonic, you need to cut the Onion Rings you've been eating. Poor Tails has to carry you everywhere now.
Yeah sorry buddy there were just *TOO* Tastety from now on i will eat less Onion rings
Tails' back must hurt from all the carrying he's doing this run.
He'd probably want a massage afterwards.
@@HopkinsTheMovie well sonic clearly can’t do shit, and it doesn’t look very comfortable getting a massage from the red antagonist with the big boxing gloves, so who’s next?
@@turnipaitor Pink hammer girl?
@@Eggshelle. Metallic Copy of Sonic?
Tails is making some serious bank by the end of this adventure considering he became Sonic's personal Uber.
I don't think Sonic is paying him
A whole new dimension of Tails Abuse, literally carrying Sonic to victory
This truly is the penultimate Tails Abuse.
What's the ultimate one?
#stoptailsabuse
@@f1reflam3 this may be the ultimate tails abuse, but it's safer to leave room for another challenger
Now this is the kind of challenge that might drive you... *loopy!*
Don't worry, I won't quit my day job. In all seriousness, it was impressive that you actually managed to complete as much as you did under those limits!
Alternate title: Sonic but he rejects Hedgehog and become Sloth
Sonic: i don't want save angel island and defeat eggman!
Tails: yes you will!
Sonic: ok then so carry me.
Tails: *focus looks* fine.
Tails: "Sonic, come on! Use your legs!"
Sonic:
Tails: "Fine! Let Eggman trash you, but don't blame me!"
"Too many Sonic Challenges Era"
Implying we didn't like it
Better than the dark ages
Your narration is excellent. You made watching a slow sonic challenge super fun
This sounds like such a hellish challenge to put yourself through...I love it!
Man, this is a challenge my big bro and i did when we were kids, this surely brings back memories
At 28:00, Marble Gardens, if you were playing Sonic 3 alone, that pillar wouldn't be there. That's to stop Knuckles from taking Sonic's route.
I'm having premonitions of you struggling to go through Flying Battery Zone and Sandopolis. At least you won't have to worry about water - for some reason all the levels with water is in the Sonic 3 half of S3&K.
Except for marble garden zone
Fun fact about pulling Sonic out of the snow in Ice Cap, if I remember correctly, the S3&K Glitches and Oversights series says this makes it so Sonic literally CANNOT move, as he's supposed to regain control when he jumps out. I originally typed this paragraph right after that part, and made a comment about how I knew the rest of the act would be impossible after the looping section because of said series, but I think you just proved it wrong. Congrats!
I wonder, couldn't certain sections be made easier with shields? There's no way to get Sonic to roll into a monitor, but maybe you could carry him into checkpoint sparkles for a bonus stage? Two of the three bonus stages would probably be useless, but Tails joins you for the gumball machine one! Can't he pick up the items as well? Sure, Sonic would immediately fall, but if you can jump on the first frame of HydroCity act 1 to carry him to the top route, I wonder if it would be possible to do the same in the gumball bonus stage, so you can carry him to the side bumpers to give you enough time to get whatever shield you want.
This brings a new meaning to "Do you even lift bro?"
Could maybe do it like Mario 64's A-button challenge: If something is impossible, resort to a Sonic input, and see how low you can bring the input total across the whole game.
9:30 - Huh. You know, I've never seen Tails' swimming with Sonic animation, in all these years. The game's decades old and still offers something new.
First off, this was incredible and a blast to watch. Second, I've love to see a similar run but instead of with out moving Sonic, the challenge is "what is the least number of times to move sonic it would take to clear Sonic 3. A video of it could just focus on the parts you got stuck at (and what comes beyond them) with an ongoing tally of the times left or right had to be pressed on sonics controller to progress.
12:38 Omg Tails' swimming is too adorable 😭💞
How embarrassing must it be for Robotnik to lose to Sonic when he's just standing there doing nothing? Granted, an invincible Tails is smashing up his weapons, but it isn't like he can do much about that.
Oh, oh! RCBlazer! I remember you when i was 11-12! I'm 20 now! How are you, dude? How's life treating you?
Oh boy, this’ll be a fun video.
Sonic is the new Luigi
He is blue Mario
I forgot about those videos😂
Pretty much
And he dispatched Olaf (Worst levels ever)
14:40 I never seen that glich before with the hand yeeting sonic after he already died.
How good did it feel to play the game normally after playing mostly as tails
I like the idea of a game where you play as a character but the camera is focusing on another like it’s the player and you have to move the “player” around. This is kinda like that. It’s a second person game.
Finally, the cripple challenge REDUX
You have no clue how long I waited for this
"most games would be impossible to beat if the main hero does nothing..."
I remind you of the flash game "Don't shoot the puppy".
Or of the game "Please, don't touch anything".
or Luigi in general situations.
"Most"
You did some awesome maneuvers both luck and skill! Definitively levelled your Tails Miles Prowess!
That was surprisingly fun to watch challenge! Well done! :)
Lmao this is actually hilarious especially with your text narrationa and various slowdowns and screen zooms.
Thank you for going through this frustration for our entertainment!
And now all I can hear in my head is a constant cry of "Hey, taxi!" from that one Commodore64 game... XD Nice job, Sonic.
What next, beat Dead Rising 2: Case West while only Frank does the fighting? xD
Hmmm...
tails make the all the hard work and in the final of each act: "sonic has passed...'
I always love an intro with Sonic CD music! As always, creative and interesting video!
Don't u just love how he says we'll done sonic yet I did everything literally 5:14
Without "moving"...well maybe holding up to look above (in cases where you need tails to interact with out of view objects) or down (to get more speed from slopes and breaking monotors) could be allowed for this kind of challenge
Maybe tails could even grab a crouching sonic in tighter spaces
11:04 why did Sonic have his like spinning Sprite here for a sec lol
I noticed that too. I guess he tripped.
Imagine not wanting a life box to be somewhere, but I guess that's just the nature of strange challenges like these.
Y'know, the whole video is a nice game concept: You have to transport a immobile but incredibly useful orb to safety as a drone that can only grab and transport the orb, all while the orb is the center of the camera. Maybe a metroidvania gameplay where you eventually unlock more and more upgrades both for the orb and the drone, some of them could be for example to be able to switch the camera between the drone and the orb, or make it so that the drone can destroy walls and push objects by throwing the orb at it
49:09 - 49:12 It's like the vocals in this act is egging the motionless Sonic on.
List of levels in this challenge:
1:53 - Angel Island Zone Act 1 (Possible)
5:21 - Angel Island Zone Act 2 (Possible)
9:20 - Hydrocity Zone Act 1 (Possible)
17:19 - Hydrocity Zone Act 2 (Impossible)
18:06 - Marble Garden Zone Act 1 (Impossible)
22:31 - Marble Garden Zone Act 2 (Possible)
30:29 - Carnival Night Zone Act 1 (Possible)
38:18 - Carnival Night Zone Act 2 (Impossible)
41:33 - Ice Cap Zone Act 1 (Impossible)
46:31 - Ice Cap Zone Act 2 (Impossible)
47:39 - Launch Base Zone Act 1 (Impossible)
48:21 - Launch Base Zone Act 2 (Impossible)
After everything you went through with Hydrocity Act 1, act 2 turning out how it did was some real bad irony lmao. just outright instant impossibility.
14:13 nice wrestling move sonic.
Tails needs a chiropractor after this video. Nicely done ✔️
11:58 "Oh, you bastards."
14:36 they easily got disposed of that corpse they did.
This channel has always been beloved by me, and your new content is just as swell!
This is like Mario 64, but Mario has to carry Lakitu because he doesn't have a cloud
A substantial amount. I like the wording lol. Indeed sonic has run quite the substantial amount!
Aka "Sonic employs child labor and makes Tails do all the damn work." EDIT: What do you mean there was another path at the start of Hydrocity???
Ok, I have to admit, this is a genius idea, and I wish I had thought of it for my own challenge run series. I tip my Ice Cap to you :)
I'd like to dub this the "Tails the Lyft Driver" run
This is like a next level escort mission
You learn something new
I never KNEW Tails could grab Sonic while underwater
Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Dead Weight Edition
someone make a mod for this game where tails can break monitors and use objects like spin. It will be an interesting experience to go beat this without moving Sonic
title:can you beat sonic 3 without sonic? Me: TAILS SOLO MODE
Obvious gameplay reasons aside, where the heck does Tails find all that stamina for indefinite flight during the Marble Garden Zone boss?
Really entertaining! I was so surprised that hydrocity act 1 was possible. Nice work!
Tails swimming will never not be adorable!
You should do a "Can you beat Sonic Mania without moving Sonic?" video someday, I'm curious if its possible.
I want to see that as well.
Can't you also do this for Sonic 1's mobile release, and Mania? 2's mobile release is out of the question because Tails gets shot down in the Tornado and doesn't come back and all
PM TTYD : I have a crushing ceiling with spikes.
Sonic 3 : I have low ceilings.
Good luck with Sandopolis Act 2.
...or even Act 1, immediately, for that matter!
Can't wait for someone to mod the game to make it possible to beat this way (and ensure sonic can't move).
I mean, we got Snolf 3 and Knolf
It's weird how Tails can push the rocks in Angel Island but not the blocks in Icecap.
Sonic The Hedgehog 3, but Sonic is paraplegic
I think Tails knows very clearly what happens when he gets Sonic killed by now.
Super Sonic World 2: Tails' Island
49:38 you joke about that but during that one part of Carnival Night with the clam and the drum I got legitimately confused for a second when Sonic got stuck on the drum and Tails got scrolled offscreen
Hey Whoisthisgit, I know a little trick, you can push things you'd normally hold left or right, by just being next to it, and charging your spin dash, it's faster and looks cool, maybe the trick works at this part 46:17 ?
The unstoppable force helping the immovable object finish its job
Gamer: why sonic can't move
Sonic: im handicap
Tails: I got you 😉
Me: 😂
This should be a new speedrunning category for sonic 3 and knuckles
You madlad. You actually tried.
Waiting for someone who can romhack to make all levels possible and don't touch it in any other way.
Sonic broke his legs and Tails has to take him to hospital
38:43 Tails is running in his Flying Mode (and with tired face) 😅
Next up: Can you beat Sonic 3 without even touching the controller?
Followed by: Can you beat Sonic 3 without turning on any of your consoles, handhelds, or PCs?
@@retronova_official can you beat Sonic 3 without breathing?
Can't you beat Sonic 3?
@@IBL15 My great grandma attempted that challenge. Couldn't even get past the first level.
Can you beat Sonic 3 on real hardware without the cartridge(s)
Tails: OW MY BACK IS KILLING ME, SONIC STOP BEING SO LAZY
Alternate title: Tails becomes sonic’s slave
Luigi is very proud.
@45:13 jaw dropped to floor as hard as that pillar... wow
Sonic was so lazy he didn't even want to move today
I’m happy you didn’t give up on a lot cool video
Next up, can you watch the sonic movie without moving
Awesome effort. Don't know how you had the patients )
Sonic 3 but Player 1 is taking a *really* long time in the bathroom
My guess would be that Tails inability to interact with certain objects might be to do with probably having the same rules as while idle following, thus making making Tails able to break monitors could cause triggering a robotnik box or the wrong shield, the spinny things is probably not wanting Tails to lose them offscreen, Ice and switches don't go anywhere or take resources from Sonic and are thus allowed is my reasonig
Yes do a sequel I really wanted to see how he would face in the mushroom whatever it's called zone
Oh my God, you're mad, Git. MAD!
