What happens is when you die the game unloads act 1 to save on memory as you cant go back So when he dos the zip glitch by going before the first pixel of the level. If he didn't do that he would just get stuck off screen
4:11 Cameraman1: "What the...? Where did Knuckles go?" Cameraman2: "OMG!! Quick, find him!" (10 seconds later) Cameramen: "Ahh, there he is!" Knuckles: "Man, took you long enough..."
I mean, it makes sense that Knuckles can span the entirety of Angel Island in less than 12 minutes: it's HIS island. He would know it's layout like the back if his knuckles.
Mushroom Hill was by far the coolest because there was no game-breaking skip-the-entire-level-in-one-wall-clip tricks, just the game being played really fast
So basically, Robotnik forgot he had a capsule sitting around in Sandopolis and, due to ultimately running out of resources, they died. And when Sonic frees them, he inadvertently unleashes a bunch of vengeful, angry animal spirits that immediately want to kill him. It's not like Robotnik puts ghosts inside of those things, nor does he have a history of doing that, so they were most likely animals that starved to death. That's some really heavy stuff for a Sonic game. Can't believe Sega thought of this.
J R that was the old version of tas, the version used today is where people input a single command in which they can repeat as much as they want, making glitches a sinch to perform
jeff ghant Its actually pretty easy. I usually finish it with 35+ lives. If you can get a sega, and the game, give it a try. Its not as difficult as when you were a kid.
jeff ghant It takes about 2 hours to complete. 4-5 if you combine it with sonic 3. It passes much more quickly than you remember. I must say though, it feels much different with an old sega controller and a shitty old TV.
boonw In the 90's, I had no way of knowing if games like these could be beat because I never saw it done. Thank goodness for youtube and dedicated gamers like yourself. I have to learn to become dedicated again. I have the time, just need the motivation.
Fun Fact : flying battery was going to be after carnival night in sonic 3 and sonic was going to use broken door from act 2 slide down the mountain from ice cap
I can remember playing these maps for a full 10minuts. and this guy glitches through platforms and shit in order to get to the end in less then a minut. holy crap
No one in these comments seems to understand what TAS means. All of the button inputs are done by humans. The inputs are done frame by frame but the playback shows the gameplay in real time. So yes, TAS has just as much human involvement as regular speedruns. It's just a different and slightly less impressive type of speedrun
"done by computers only" do you people fucking understand that the humans behind TASes still have to invest a shit fucking ton of time to figure out what is the fastest way to do certain things also the only computer involvement in TASing is generating the input file to playback on emulator/real hardware
Wave dashing (moonwalking) through the whole map making his movements so efficient, thus a faster clear time. It was a beautiful display of hand coordination. It looked like he was playing Super Smash Bros Melee !!! Love it.
1:23 The player finished the first act so fast the game couldn't keep up. That's why it didn't know what to do at the start of the second act and the music never played.
blooflazh7 It's not in this game and Knuckles can't do it anyway. It's just a spin dash immediately after landing from a dropped glide, which puts you at an instant standstill.
This is what's called a "Turbo button". If you press/hold a Turbo button, then hit another button, it will force the game to read that button press every single possible moment, until the Turbo button is either released or hit again. It's pretty common in TAS videos like this.
***** Well...one must acknowledge that it takes skill, knowledge, and practice to exploit these glitches in just the right way so that they don't kill you. It's not cheating. They're not adding to or altering any of the game's programming. They're just exploiting the gaps that already exist in the program.
Mushroom Hill: Rolling around at the speed of sound- hey, why's it so silent? Flying Battery: Level? What level? And oh my god what happened to those clouds and why do they look like airships? Sandopolis: Man, I worked up quite the sweat... Thankfully I get to go inside and- wait, levers? What levers? Lava Reef: I'm behind the lava. What the heck. Hidden Palace: I found it- and it's already over. Sky Sanctuary: Is it just this boss? That's lame. Welp, I beat the game.
It's impressive watching this. Ironically, sonic 3 was never something I felt the need to speedrun, purely because it feels the most "platform-like" game in the entire series. I tried speeding through the previous iterations. Just something about this one was harder for me
This is what i don't like about most speedruns. They're usually done with glitches of some sort or expose a minor flaw in the game to their favor and i'd rather see someone do it normally as fast as they can rather than just expose minor bugs and glitches to get the fastest time. Kind of why I hate the Challenges in Megamam Legacy Collection because most of the Megaman 1 challenges you can't get a gold rank or even reach the leaderboard without using the pause damage glitch.
If you don't like full glitches, check the Glitchless categories in games. Though seriously, glitches and such can bring your knowledge of a game down to coding.
Yeah that's correct, but having only the bouncing effect just reduces the need of using the water shield. I mean, Lighting Shield is useful to resist some areas of Flying Battery and Death Egg and also the Flame Shield, which is very handy to survive Lava Reef.
6:336:336:336:33 Knuckles: Whatta nice day to balance against- *Unknown large stomp* Knuckles: Oh Nooooooo -Slowly Hides behind wall- (THAT BIG ROCK BOY SCARED KNUCKLES. WHAT A MEANIE. >:c)
The slowest part about this run was the credits. Thia run was insane. But can you count it as a speed run when every level but like 4 was glitched from start to finish??? Impressive none the less.
I can do that. I just don't want too. Lol. Jokes aside, this is one of my favourite games ever made. Had it on release day as a kid. Completed it so many times. Always had mad respect for people who can speed run and manipulate glitches this way.

Just so people know, he intentionally dies at 4:00 to reset the level boundaries so he can do the level wrap properly

What happens is when you die the game unloads act 1 to save on memory as you cant go back
So when he dos the zip glitch by going before the first pixel of the level. If he didn't do that he would just get stuck off screen
Ah! Thank you! I was thinking: “Oh I can do better.”

The power of TAS is just amazing. It can break any game and assault your eardrums.
Why does the spindash sound so weird?
because the button is being pressed every frame
+Jesse Markin HD computer assisted, not in console.
+Jesse Markin HD T.A.S. and the game runs at 60 fps
He changed spin dash button
This is what's called a "Turbo button".
If you press/hold a Turbo button, then hit another button, it will force the game to read that button press every single possible moment, until the Turbo button is either released or hit again.
It's pretty common in TAS videos like this.
The amount of time and focus on this is astounding
