As mentioned in the description, given I am using my own stricter ruleset for "Glitchless", I am not labelling this as a "WR", because really I would just be competing with myself, and I think that would be rather self indulgent. This is however, the best run (it's currently faster than the runs that use the more lax ruleset too)
That being said, I watched TAS play through this right before watching your run. And arguably I would say you did a better job in some areas. Amazing run good job!
As someone who grew up with S3&K, this is exactly how i would beat the game near daily. (Obviously not like THIS). But all emeralds, as fast as I could. Gotta love hypersonic, and gotta love Werster. Cheers, bro this run was insane.
I love the absolute sheer disrespect in the special stages. A few of them I was just pissing myself laughing because the skill on show was insane! I've tried so often to jump over rows of red spheres and every time I die. Frankly, the whole thing is crazy and to have the stamina to put it together in a 70 minute run is equivalent to playing three of Beethoven's most complex piano sonatas back to back without any noticeable mistakes. Absolute artistry and shows off Sonic 3 & Knuckles at its best.

it’s like when someone’s about to tell a joke that they can’t help but laugh at before they can even say it. i can totally imagine knux thinking “this is the funniest thing ever watch this”
Glitchless are the most pleasant speedruns to watch to. They preserve the essence of the game as it was intended, time record at all costs is not everything.
Me: show me you can beat the shit out of the chaos emerald stages without actually showing me you can.. Werster: sure buddy, ever heard of the sonic moonwalk?
I heard about the movie of sonic 3 and really good things about it. Yes I've played the game referring to what's in this video. Sonic 3 is a fun game to play.
One thing bothered me playing this is after you change to Super Sonic you lose the great music in the stages and are forced to listen to that 9 second loop over and over again

Good record though

Wow those Special Stages are giving me a headache. I'm most impressed by how you managed to navigate through the Red Spheres. Kudos Werster.

Kind of interesting to actually see the level design on this game for once lmao

Seconded! Doing parts backwards made me actually laugh because it's so perfectly in character for Sonic
Going backwards on the special stages is DIABOLICAL 🐐🐐🐐😂 good job bro 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯💯
Bro I was born in 88 so me watching bruh do that was like WTF Neva have I ever... And here I was tryna get perfects on each stage 😂 the nerve of me.
came to see impressive S3&K gameplay, got hooked by impressive blue spheres gameplay.
looooooooooove the movement in this run. So many tight windows on platform cycles its insane. Great job dude.
This is a lot more fun to watch than an any% glitchfest. Great job!
when u started jumping through the red balls in the special stage i lost 10 years off my life
Same here, Jesnic the Christhog man, this shocked me
I greatly prefer glitchless. Screen wrapping is very boring when it's done so many times.
Honestly. Thats why I never got into classic sonic reruns
22:14 I did NOT think you were going to make that.
Those special stage routes are WILD! Really creative pathing and super tight jumps over red spheres
I know im late but this was so satisfying to watch
Holy crap, congratulations! I can’t believe you did that!
You got past the Barrel of Doom!
The only true competition is against the self. King shit.

I feel like this is as we were watching Sonic himself storming through the levels. Fucking amazing!
The way you go backwards in the special stages gives me anxiety but really good video.
19:53 perfect silence
insane
This was very satisfying to watch. Thank you Werster.
i like how knuckles seems to be helping eggman as a joke, he tries to trip sonic up and cant even keep a straight face lmao
it’s like when someone’s about to tell a joke that they can’t help but laugh at before they can even say it. i can totally imagine knux thinking “this is the funniest thing ever watch this”
Seeing this game back makes me think of my childhood. How much I loved sonic 3.
45:29 WHAT?! I had no idea you could do that! Ya learn something new everyday.

43:36
*AND THIS…IS….TO GO….EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!!*
Kakarot!
This was peak sonic! Loved how hypersonic essentially had all 3 element abilities 🤘
I think we can all agree those special stage antics are
D I A B O L I C A L 🤯
I didn't even know that the bonus stages could be optimized to that level
My childhood, beautiful game 😭
These ost's slap so hard, I wish they had gone with something longer than 4 seconds for the super sonic theme
used theme of speed o the super Theme prototype used sonic 3 complete and sonic 3 Air
Me: show me you can beat the shit out of the chaos emerald stages without actually showing me you can..
Werster: sure buddy, ever heard of the sonic moonwalk?
You are a real pro at playing in the special zone ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Me ha dado cada paro cardíaco. Qué buen video lptm
Good stuff Werster
That Hyper Sonic push animation. Just can't be assed, taking too long. 😂
I’ll never understand glitch runs,
These runs however 👏
Mind blowing stuff 🔥🔥🔥
I heard about the movie of sonic 3 and really good things about it. Yes I've played the game referring to what's in this video. Sonic 3 is a fun game to play.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles is literally the greatest game of the mid 90s. As for the late 90s it's mostly Quake, Goldeneye and Turok 2 seeds of evil.
that was impressive bro,
i never thought the super sonic theme song would get repetitive but damn xD
There should have been an option to revert the music to normal level music when in super/hyper sonic
@@Andyw00Hall 100%
@@Andyw00Hallor use the theme from Sonic 2
Isn't a bit strange how a straightforward punch from knuckles is able to make Super Sonic regress back to blue Sonic?
Its something to do with his link to Chaos energy and the Master Emerald
I still play sonic 3&knuckles the game had so much fun too it
Alright... now with all perfect blue spheres lol
43:28 🐐Legend🐐
To think after all these years, I never knew I was playing this game wrong the whole time 😂
this is the best thing ever ty
54:00 I once died to this boss as Hyper Sonic when the stones returned
As evident by the beginning of Angel Island, Knuckles is stronger than Super Sonic. Canon.
This is true skill.
29:32 Shadow!? O.o
Sonic if he wasn't all about adventure and being a fair player:
how come knuckles doesnt use his tower destroying bombs in any of the future games lol
Dr. Robotnick probably made it and gave it to him.
the story in sonic 3 and knuckles is literally better than most AAA games today lmao god when will the dark age of gaming end
your respect
the hydro city 2 route is so cool
It was cool but he lost alot of time and there were better and more efficient routes
lol Shadow glitch at 29:31
11:14 - Great!!
Up up down down up up up up.
Lol thumbs used to be on fire tryna press that fast enough on a Sega controller 😂
Is there any significance to the order you get the super emeralds in?
The disrespect to Death Egg 1’s boss 😂
Never seen a game more disrespected in my life
When did Werster start TASing these game?
Holdup, you can change the direction on hyper sonic’s boost? 43:38
Crazy awesome!
What did you use to play the game? I've never heard the drum samples sound so pronounced and punchy before!
Yeah, it must be a really good emulator
I had no idea about hyper sonic 😮
I hate those blue sphere stages with all of my soul.
1:04:51 is such a boss move lol, its fun to do
I can't do it. How do you do it?
22:43
Hold up and then down, you control the cylinder. This part ruined my childhood.
@josephbuck2588 Yes, I hated it too. Thank you, my friend
One thing bothered me playing this is after you change to Super Sonic you lose the great music in the stages and are forced to listen to that 9 second loop over and over again
how the hell did he get 50 rings during ice cap 1’s snowboard segment? ive always only been able to get 40
There’s an extra row of rings if you jump at the right time and skip the “carve down” bits.
4:57 & 5:04 are a BOP my vro
1:04:49 lol sonic wyd
Biblically accurate Sonic:
12:45 Alright Show-Off LMAO
Why there sonic gear 5th in thumbnail
20:00
I'm watching this on sonic and knuckles 30th anniversary. Well the 30th anniversary of sonic 3 and knuckles lol
1:04:49 LMAO
How bro
