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."
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.
@@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
@@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.

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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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
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!
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
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
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
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
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.
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 ?
Alternate Title:S3&K but sonic wins by doing nothing... Tails:sonic my back hurts! Sonic:just keep on going tails we're almost done Tails:slaps sonic and leaves him to do his own work Sonic:well I'm done I'm going back home Credits:S3&K but sonic wins by doing nothing made my my favorite UA-camr! oh I almost forgot! BAD ENDING: don't let tails slap sonic
Even if you could get past the water part in Carnival Night, you still need to somehow get past the switch to make the lights go on, it has a spike and you need to do a Spindash to get past it
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
This sounds like some asshole big brother-tier shenanigans.

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.
Sonic, you need to cut the Onion Rings you've been eating. Poor Tails has to carry you everywhere now.

Or of the game "Please, don't touch anything".
or Luigi in general situations.
"Most"
That was surprisingly fun to watch challenge! Well done! :)
