Hey guys, Andy here, It’s been such a long time and I’m glad to be back. Where I’ve been, not able to say just yet. But in a time I will, and you’ll be so proud. But for now, please enjoy this episode which has been a long time coming. If you enjoy it, please leave a like and tell me what you enjoyed, what new episodes you’d like to see, and if you’re not subscribed, please do, we’re so close to 1 million now. Thank you so much for your patience, it’s meant the world to me. Hope you like the new rebrand too. A+Start
3:15 this makes perfect sense. you’ve changed to the flying character and immediately crashed, Big is just assuming the position you’re supposed to when you’re crashing while flying, head between the knees and hope for the best!
Here’s a glitch (or should I say “developer oversight”) exclusive to the European GameCube version: When you start the game in PAL60 mode, the game will actually run at 20% faster speed than intended due to the PAL-optimisations (which make it so that the game runs at normal speed when in 50 Hz mode) not being disabled in PAL60 mode. Because of this, the European GameCube version is preferred for “super hard mode” speedruns, with speedrunner Lemres holding the current WR at 44m 02s. (the fastest SHM speedrun on the NTSC version, by contrast, was 50m 56s by Deku_sr)
@@SegaMegadrive No. In fact on PS2 Sonic Heroes doesn’t have ANY alternate display modes, as far as I'm aware: No progressive scan for the American/Japanese PS2 version and no PAL60/NTSC toggle on the European PS2 version (in fact the PAL PlayStation 2 console itself doesn’t support PAL60 in the first place, now that I think of it). Plus the PS2 version of Sonic Heroes is a pretty shitty port to begin with, so who even cares?
@@DaneeBound I have no idea what this all means but I can confirm however that choosing 60 is possible on a pal ps2. I get the option whenever I start the game but idk what it means tho or if this is even what you're asking in the first place lol You're really smart with this stuff! Despite veing only 22 I consider myself technologically challenged haha
17:17 "It sadly doesn't serve much of a purpose outside of gaining height." Well, aside from being able to access parts of stages Team Chaotix normally can't access, but who cares about that? What do you think this is, Boundary Break?
The best example I can think of is Ocean Palace. There is a section where you have to use Charmy to bloom a flower, but if you use the glitch, you can get past the invisible barrier and you can get through the turtles' section. What's interesting is that Team Chaotix has voice lines about the turtles.
@@stefanmarin95 It’s true I literally just tried this glitch a few minutes ago. What’s also interesting is that the turtles section has some search flappers, which only start appearing around BINGO Highway normally. Unlike the Search Flappers in Bingo, these ones do not summon other Egg Pawns upon spotting you. I wonder why they are placed there?
I love sonic heroes but sadly due to the bad controls and levels that drag on for too long it will never be my favorite even though I still love it and it’s definitely in my top ten list of sonic games
I'm assuming the reason the glitch at 11:23 doesn't work for Team Sonic is due to Knuckles not being as tall as the other 3. The reason on why this could be is because the 3 other teams have a tall Power character and how this glitch is triggered is by the collision for when you attack at the same time while on the ground when nobody is with you.
Actually it does work on Team Sonic. Cobanermani456 played through the Super Hard difficulty of Sonic Heroes and experienced this glitch. If I'm not mistaken, it's the last part in Final Fortress where he encountered it.
@@GamingThesis uh, my first playtrough i got stuck in the first level twice due to bugs getting me stuck into the geometry The collisions are terrible, and if only that was the only issue
I played Sonic Heroes so many years ago and I loved it even though it was such a hard game I'm sure I remember experiencing the glitch where the power character is on their own just by accident
This video appearing in my recommended just filled me with so many memeories. I started watching this channel with the MKWii video back when I was in Elementary school, but now I'm in High school and have a job. Thank you so much for everything you've done and keeping millions of people entertained
I am very happy to see him back. It was dissapointing when he announced he would be releading another episode in a week, but didnt, but 9 months later, the return feels epic.
14:47 I've done this glitch with Big before, and won the stage in 4 seconds. I was mad I kept dying so I would start clicking restart quickly and it eventually happened. Thought it was the coolest thing ever and I couldn't explain lol
I am so happy that Andy is back to glitching and giving us awesome content. We missed you so much. And what an awesome way to start than with Sonic Heroes, which, whether you love or hate, brings some sort of nostalgia for most. 😁
Really great video! Loved all the glitches of the funny cutscenes! Glad to see you back! In terms of a next video, I think any Nintendo game that has a lot of glitches would be good. There are quite a few 3rd party N64 games that would make good glitch videos
You said it yourself in one of your videos (coincidentally, being a Sonic video, but about Sonic Forces lol): "Everything's better with glitches. Well in my opinion anyway." And seeing you working as of today on this vast world of little adventures we call glitches... feels good man. It really feels good to have you back x)
Even though people are split on Sonic Heroes a sequel would be nice taking the concept of the speed/power/flight teams but make it so you can mix and match the characters. As for the video itself it was nice seeing a few glitches I hadn't seen before.
As someone who's played Sonic Heroes for years, 11:42 this glitch was the most common for me. it could be game breaking if you know what to play around with. xD
Makes me wonder if there's a mod for the game to remove the team mechanic. I do know that most levels are impossible after that, so those things have to be fixed too. It would be a massive mod but a great one.
I remember watching this series on my 3DS' shitty UA-cam app back in 2014 I missed this series; I got Goosebumps when the intro started playing. Even though it's completely new and revamped, it still gives me a nostalgic feel.
What an absolute baller of a comeback! Love the new intro, the formula still looks great, and what a wonderful game to break open too! Hope you've been taking well care of yourself and your family during the downtime :) I unfortunately don't exactly have any suggestions per-say, but I'm plenty excited to see whatever else you'll be taking a look at! How about Crash or Spyro on PS1?
Best Sonic game I've ever played. Coincidentally, the _only_ one I've played. But yes, I liked it for what it was. Equally so, I like seeing A+S is back at it again. Hope life's been kind to ya since last we heard from ya!
I've been watching the series since the first Sonic 06 episode and man, it's always been top tier content, you never fail to amuse and impress me. Doesn't matter how long it took for this video to happen, it's still gold. c: I did notice a bug in the video, at 19:43 the blur at the sides doesn't match the pace of the slowed down footage. Not that it ruins the video, I just thought it'd be useful to point out!
Son of a Glitch was the first videos I ever remember watching on UA-cam, I've always loved your content man and it's great to know you're still making these.
I remember playing this game as a child, and getting absolutely stuck on one part in the casino. I don't know if this was just a bug at the moment, but I could not smash one of the pieces of glass as Knuckles to progress, it just wouldn't break. I had to put the game down for a few weeks in frustration, and when I picked it up again, for some reason, the glass broke right away. To this day, I don't know what it was, but it was weird.
You know, Team Sonic is also the only one where the Power character _isn't_ significantly larger than the other two...maybe this has something to do with them being immune to the separation bug?
12:30 Actually the death trigger shouldn't kill you since you're going throught with the Power character but you're technically controlling the Flying character (thus, not the one going throught the death trigger)
I’m glad your back man. Been watching you for years. Family was playing Simpsons hit & run and I showed them the light pole glitch and I remembered watching it from you
Charmy's infinite flight glitch can be done with other teams, sort of. I remember while flying (it was probably with Team Sonic) trying to activate flight again right before hitting the ground which allowed me to fly twice as high.
11:10 - You can see rings in there, further proving that the levels for the characters with easier difficulty have indeed cut offs of already existing layouts. This reminds me the whole VIP Pinball Table that can be accessed with Team Rose that has unused dialog between the characters.
A+ start. Your videos were a huge part of my childhood and I really wish that you would return to content so that others can enjoy what I loved, and still do, many years ago. Please never stop doing what you love. Thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart and have a lovely new year.
The charmy fly glitch can be used to access a part of ocean palace that was cut, by way of those teleport flowers. It's inaccessible without glitching, but there's still chatter in the section. It's the block turtle section

Also, if you time it right you can switch to power glide. This breaks the flight glitch but once high enough it doesn't matter

Espio's ghost possessing Eggman 💀
He's back, and glitching the game of my childhood. Let's go
Let’s go
Sonic Heroes is my favorite game in the Sonic franchise, and seeing all the weird and wild ways of breaking it, that's just the cherry on top.
I love sonic heroes but sadly due to the bad controls and levels that drag on for too long it will never be my favorite even though I still love it and it’s definitely in my top ten list of sonic games

If I'm not mistaken, it's the last part in Final Fortress where he encountered it.
But Knuckles is a little bit taller than Sonic and Tails is shorter than both Sonic and Knuckles.
I seriously love this series. It completely carried my childhood
It’s the first game I ever received
Feels good to see you back, my glitchy friend.
4:49 - Egg Pawn acting on plam tree like " Mommmmm I want coconut. Now! " 😂😂
There is something about this game that makes me think the entire game’s existence is a glitch in its own
@@GamingThesis uh, my first playtrough i got stuck in the first level twice due to bugs getting me stuck into the geometry
The collisions are terrible, and if only that was the only issue
That's just a nice way of saying this game is garbage
Sonic games and bugs and glitches go hand to hand
@@GamingThesis "not very glitchy" is straight up lying with Rail Canyon alone. Saying this as a long time Heroes defender too
Sonic Heroes good
I played Sonic Heroes so many years ago and I loved it even though it was such a hard game
I'm sure I remember experiencing the glitch where the power character is on their own just by accident
I beat the game a long time ago
About time this AMAZING series came back.
So glad to see this show back, and with one of my childhood games to boot.
Great to see!
When the king was needed most, he answered the prayers for his return.

You're on the road to 1 million now, wish you luck and I'm glad you're back!
Thank you, onwards and upwards
Its been 10,000 years since the last video was released..... but honestly I'm glad to see this series is back.
Great to see you back. It’s cool to see some new glitches that weren’t covered on the shorts channel
Glad you like them!
THE LEGEND IS BACK!!
Man, its been months for an glitch return of this legendary guy, but finally, the series continues! 😅
I am very happy to see him back. It was dissapointing when he announced he would be releading another episode in a week, but didnt, but 9 months later, the return feels epic.
its a good day when A+start uploads and all the memories from years ago come flooding back

9:04
The way tails float reminds me of something....
Glad to have these amazing son of a glitches back 😊. Also the broken spine glitch at 2:20 killed me xddddd
Man Exactly What I Needed For Christmas, An A+Start Episode Of Son Of A Glitch. Man Its Good To Be Alive.
Omg I forgot these existed, I got so excited when I saw the notification. Love ur vids man, hope these keep getting uploaded.
Hi :) and thank you
damn, i just realised it's been a few years since i've watched this series. Glad to see you're back Andy, back to your glitchin ways
Oh, I’ve missed this series! So happy to see it back!!! :)
I got Sonic Heroes for the Gamecube on launch day. What a fun, glitchy disaster. No regrets in the slightest.
I’ve been awaiting your return, and this did not disappoint.

Wow, a great return and with one of my childhood games!
Wow, not only is this sonic heroes my first ever game, and its ep 101. 101 has been a sentimental number to me
He's back with a banger with a game. My morning just got better. Great to see you back, Andy
Glad to hear it
That opening music translation was HEAT.

12:54 This glitch was the biggest carry in getting me all A ranks as a kid.
Woo! Missed your content, and I love this game!
Bigs belly flopping through the air is just beautiful.
As someone who's played Sonic Heroes for years, 11:42 this glitch was the most common for me. it could be game breaking if you know what to play around with. xD
It's been too long since the last one! I hope what you've been working on in the meantime has been fulfilling 😊
Aside from the team mechanics, this game is the closest Sonic has ever come to recreating the classic game formula in 3D.
Makes me wonder if there's a mod for the game to remove the team mechanic. I do know that most levels are impossible after that, so those things have to be fixed too. It would be a massive mod but a great one.
Does anyone know what the intro song is
It really depends on what this exactly means. In many regards SA1's sonic story is much closer to matching the classics.
@sk More like 2 steps forward, 10 steps back.
I remember watching your video on lego marvel super hero’s and feeling so cool to be places I wasn’t supposed to be. Love your videos man
Finally, the Glitches Lord came back to his people.
Always love Sonic glitches.
