My guess wouldve been "AH" stands for "Activate Hazard" but I didnt want to say it in the video and give you guys a false sense of authority on the subject. I'll update someday if i get the definitive answer
Thats bad that your network doesnt know. Every network should have a direct line of contact with youtube like mine did. if you google youtube verification checkmark though. there is an application that you can submit yourself to youtube. You definitely have over passed the qualifications
You can see him on Kunckle's Hydrocity Act 2 leaderboard, with a time of 0:37. It's only possible with a glitch (That I shamelessly exploited too), so a video is definitively coming. If you're interested, DarkSpineSonic uploaded a video of that glitch.
Those "windows" in Lava Reef/Hidden Palace Zone are suppose to be the murals prophesying Sonic's battle with Robotnik at the end of Sonic 3 & Knuckles. That area is taken directly from Hidden Palace Zone and they probably intended to use that area due to the iconic murals.
gmaster2647 You do with all three characters, it's just not a separate location. Knuckles goes through more of it though and has his boss battle and the Emerald Altar complete with the lifeless Super Emeralds.
+Scrade McRabbitSomethingOrOther Wouldn't that mean Sonic 3&K is also not canon? After all, you need the super emeralds to get the final stage and true ending
No. AH, AL, BH, BL are A and B layer high and low path swappers. They have the same exact purpose they did in Sonic 1, Sonic 2, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, except in the older games when they appeared in debug mode they appeared as a series of four non-moving static rings. They have nothing to do with what "layer" sonic is on; they swap between collision sets A and B. Every tile in the game has two sets of collision and that's how loops, secret passages, joining/diverging pathways, etc work. The "high" and "low" variants determine the sprite priority of sonic (behind or in front of the foreground), but this is purely visual.
8:53 looks like the knuckles' boss fight room from S3K And also, the debug mode in this game is literally the same as in the previous genesis games, the spin and layer triggers also appear in s2 - s3k debugs.
The debug in this game is definitely scaled down. You can't place a lot of the objects from the stages (like crumbling floors for example). There's rings, item boxes, enemies, special stage rings, checkpoints, and the goal
Must be awkward when you're trying to gather footage of the game for a video and the Switch keeps giving you those "Your Friend is playing X Game" messages.
6:10 "You don't get to have any World 1-2 shenanigans!" Mirage Saloon 2 with Knuckles begs to differ, you can climb over the final wall and skip the boss!
That unused area from lava reef looks like hidden palace zone from sonic and Knuckles, I think that the glitchy tiles are probably the murals with super sonic fighting eggman from S&K. They probably removed the picture from the game and then it just turned into a glitchy mess because of it
Using the "Child's toy", I actually managed to crash my game. EDIT: I also managed to softlock it at the end by putting a Ring-box in supersonic's flight path.
John Doe keep in mind that classic sonic is strictly 2D and modern sonic is strictly 3D in forces modern is no longer gonna have 2D segments in his stages
Bro, I can honestly and firmly say that you always... keep pushing your Boundaries...hehehe. Your content has gotten so much better so quickly. Great stuff brother! Keep it up! Is there any chance you'd do a Boundary break for Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3? I'd share this video with my community in a heart beat! Anyway, thanks for all of the amazing content!
8:49 that's the room where you would normally battle knuckles but it was unused. The makers of sonic mania did say they ported most if not all the stages in sonic and edited them a bit unlike the new stages
In press garden act 1, if you go below the area where the player starts the level, you should reach an open area that is completely empty except of an invertet HELLO message on the wall. Obviously left there by the developers for people using the debug menu.
Thanks Shesez for not giving away any major bosses :D I wanted to watch the episode but I haven't beat it completely yet due to time. Your so good to us!
Wow, I'm impressed! The studio's faithfulness to the original, even in background things like the lava and fish. Can't wait to play this and scope out every area like I did as a kid with the original games.
OMG! I've done that sign trick before in the original Sonic 1 & 2 mobile ports! And it was so fun. I found a sprite test far off the edge of Chemical Plant 2.
The guy that did the intro did a real good job. He made it look like it was being recorded onto a vhs tape with the soft image and the color fringing. Guess a throwback look to a throwback game. Great attention to detail.
Those Eggman kill/push tiles are a stroke of genius on the developer's part. I love how clever it is and using Eggman's face makes it super cheeky too, well done Sonic Mania.
8:52 My guess is that those messed up tiles on the walls were suppose to be the Super Sonic murals that were in Lava Reef zone in the original Sonic 3&K. They look about the same size.
Thank you Christian Whitehead. I mean Muslim Blackface. Dude did some great work but jesus christ his name is so ridiculous. Must be super awkward for him to greet a black person. "Hi! I'm Christian Whitehead!" "YOU WHAT!?"
i love these vids they inspire me to somehow break the games i own. one time i got the tank in halo 2 through a tunnel too small for it. best ending to that level i could ever ask for. btw the level was the city. keep up the good work please!
Hey Shesez, would you be able to do a boundary break video on the game "Silent Hills P.T"? That would be really interesting to se whats behind the dors and how the whole map looks in zoomed out view. Thanks for making great videos man and keep up the good work!
AL = Action Layer - As close as the foreground can get. BL = Background Layer - Switches the player to the back part of the ground to let you pass a loop de loop. AH = Active Hazard - An active object that can make you take damage when coming into contact with it. S = Spin - Automatically switches the player into it's spin-ball form.
This is so awesome! I totally need to see if I can get a hold of this game! (...After Christmas when I get my PS4... Maybe my birthday, maybe Ratchet and Clank too? February birthdays kinda suck without video games...)
0:03 Tails' laugh is actually a high-pitched version of the sound that plays when you enter and exit the Special Stages in Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles (1994), and at 0:07, Sonic's scream is actually a high-pitched and slowed down version of the sound that plays when you land on spikes in Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles (1994).
The section at 8:49 was supposed to be the Knuckles vs Sonic fight from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I’m sure someone’s pointed it out. It’s weird because the glitched tiles you mentioned are supposed to be a weird hieroglyphic picture of Super Sonic vs the S3&K final boss in space. You can kinda make out the shapes from the glitched tiles. The next room was supposed to be the super emerald room where the emeralds were kept in S3&K.
Another thing I found was that in green hill zone act 2 if u use one of those boxes with the 2 arrows the game puts the totem background and the camera gets stuck in 1 position
8:56 That picture is actually a glitched up version of the mural from S 3&K's Knuckles boss fight, you know, the one depicting Super Sonic fighting Eggman for the Master Emerald
That's awesome there is a debug mode in this. I used to play with the debug mode in the first few games back in the genesis all the time, and explore how the game was put together. Neat how this game shows you where collision triggers for various actions are.
This was a really fast turn around! Nice of Sega to give you that super-advanced copy so you can get their free marketing done quickly, huh? :D Haha, just kidding! Really cool!
I can explain the "window" area in lava reef zone act 2 boss area. The delevopers actually copied the *ENTIRE* lava reef act 2 boss arena from sonic & knuckles's hidden palace zone. After the developers finished the heavy rider and the heavy king's boss arenas, they were left with extra space that were remnants of the original hidden palace zone from sonic & knuckles. The developers were like: " nah whatever. I will not waste my time deleting the extra space. Instead I will just block it of so no one will ever find it!" Turns out that some people *DID* find it. The area with the windows was actually the boss arena for the the famous sonic VS knuckles boss fight. There was actually a whole other set of chaos emeralds that the developers didn't bother to delete. The windows were actually supposed to be sprites of rurals from the original sonic & knuckles's hidden palace zone. But since sonic mania did not have the rural sprites. The rurals instead became a jumble of other sprites that arranged themselves to look like windows. I hope that this comment has help you understand what that mysterious area is for. Thank me later.
The doctor robot nick symbols are also how crushing works, in certain walls were your expected to get crushed, they put the doctor robot nick symbols there so die instantly, or, 'get crushed'
In green hill zone there is a point where you are under a water fall and a perana is shown in sight and is springing and down also there are rings too so that means one of the level designers left that in for the player to find out!

Also I read that in Knuckles' playthrough you get to visit Hidden Palace Zone. I don't know how extensive it is, but yeah.

No, you don't. You can reach Doomsday with just the Chaos Emeralds.

bc its in the advance layer
