Boss Rush is GLITCHED | Sonic Origins

[@yoshi18super]

Being able to access the 2011 sonic cd menu and the leftovers of mighty and ray in blue spheres really makes sonic origins seem like it’s a prototype or a beta of a finished game

[@NotArmani31]

Yeah, that blue spheres thing makes me SUPER sad that they didn't bring back Mighty and Ray (as broken as Ray could've been in some of the levels)

[@tails230]

I assume that when it comes to Tails having 0 lives, its an old computer tech thing, where normally the Lives going down to 0 would initiate a game over, but since you started on 0, when you die, it would loop back to the max number (Such as 255, or 999, or even past 1000). And since the game is never meant to show that much lives, there's no graphic.

[@MastaGambit]

Yeah that's called an underflow

[@KopperNeoman]

Because the life loss routine deducts a life then checks to see if you have zero. In 8-bit unsigned, 0 - 1 = 255. Games where your life count counts your EXTRA lives usually check if you have zero, and if NOT, then deduct 1 and respawn, otherwise Game Over.

[@Cr_nch]

@@KopperNeomanalthough in this case it’s probably using either a 32 or 64 bit number which is significantly bigger

[@TorutheRedFox]

it's not even an old computer thing it's just an unsigned integer underflow

[@stardmg]

this is exactly it, in the original games if you died with 0 lives, the counter *would* show a glitched character, starting with "y5" and changing to various other letter/number/glitchy symbol combinations as the lives decrease

[@NotArmani31]

That Knuckles Boss Rush bug happened to me too with Tails back before Plus came out. What's funnier is that SEGA didn't even bother to fix it, judging by how you were able to do it with Plus so easily 😭

[@candycaneannihalator2708]

this new boss rush mode is somehow more broken? wow

[@TomTheyy]

Actually these glitches seem to only happen if you're using a Boss Rush save from a previous version prior to patching it to Plus.

[@HackerMann203]

15:26 *bobby bionic partially truns into kunckles*

[@BobbyBionic]

oh no

[@vonryder]

Been like this since any patch dropped. If you continue a boss rush save from a previous patch it breaks a bunch of things. If you overwrite with new patch data, it's fine.

[@Sonictheoofhog4]

To be honest, they should have included Mighty and Ray in Sonic Origins +.

[@TomTheyy]

12:50 Ayyyyyy, there I am! Incidentally, another difference between accessing Blue Spheres (or New Blue Spheres) by either the main menu or S3&K's Level Select is that the latter will actual retain the progress the player has made through the 2,000,000 levels. Odd little hidden bonus, but appreciated I suppose. The Blue Sphere character selection on display there sure is kooky. I'd wonder if "& Knuckles Mode" was a thing if that'd include having Sonic/Tails/Knuckles/Amy with their Knuckles partner in the Blue Sphere stages, though apparently that remnant might've just been changing the partner character ID to Knuckles or something from what I've heard? IDK. Would explain why there's a Knuckles piloting the Tornado sprite that goes unused. Would've been a neat option to mix and match characters in Blue Sphere, or at least have classic Sonic & Tails outside the main game. Maybe if there was a Blue Sphere editor or something where things just got crazy.

[@The-one-from-some-where]

The characters dying indefinitely (Knuckles and Tails) and the Tails' lifes not ending even if started on 0, the glitchy blue spheres look like something straight out of a creepypasta not gonna lie-

in sonic cd it doesn't only spell out sonic 2 zone names.. sometimes it spells out other things,like instead of the word (emerald hill)on the top, it spells out the word (cool),and under it it spells out other words that are probably unreadable

[@abeerabf321]

Yeah.. I just rechecked it and it shows some text that is readable and taken from the sonic 2 special stages as they say"rings to go" or"not enough rings"and more things like that,but the main thing is that any text that appears could be from sonic 2 no matter what it is.

[@I-like-Sonic-91]

it seems that the locations of the player are randomized, since i used Tails for Sonic 2, and I got the staff credits.

[@KiyloNendroid]

Fun fact about that bug at 11:56 This used to be a glitch with the mobile port of sonic 1 in the exact same way, knuckles would just die in the credits

[@SonicExePort]

the reason its like this is because sonic origins just combined all the games into 1 like the old sonic collection game but just tryed to make a nice looking menu and design for stuff, but cause it was not finished at this time you could access assets that were just imported into the game and the broken ones dont work as their code was probably taken out the object to be used for an other object, which is also why you can even reach any of these bugged levels, as they are directly from the original game

[@Eevee860]

I think the reason beating any boss finishes the gauntlet is because they pull up an act clear screen, which boss gauntlet bosses don't pull up until the last boss, as far as the game is concerned boss rush is one act that let's you save at checkpoints

[@Girl-SuS-3000]

I never played the game but I already know glitchy it was because thanks the reviews of it, and I have an hypothesis of what's going on, the ones that when you enter an zone including the ones that there's time already passed and there's already a special amount of rings? those are the last time of the developers played those classic games before modding them for the Boss Rush mode. (B.T.W the best way I can describe the difference between theories and hypothesis that hypothesis are theories with little to no evidence and theories are hypotheses with evidence.) [Edit: I added "including" because speak to text didn't pick that up somehow.]

[@masonthecyanhairedgirl]

I finally finished them all

[@Eevee860]

You normally can't get 0 lives since you die when hitting 0, so dying with 0 causes the game over check to fail and puts you at -1 lives, which doesn't display, sonic would have had that happen if you didn't collect lives, and tails would have had a game over if you collected lives with him

7:32 Have you tried los*ng a life with only 1 life left? Maybe it functions like lives do in older Sonic games. Where losing a life at zero, roles it back to the max number of lives you can have in the game’s code. But if you gain one life before losing it, you would get a game over. 8:32 Okay, it does.

As far as i know it's just from loading into a complete boss rush save. apparently it was a glitch introduced when they updated the game for plus, but has since been fixed. Though if you have a boss rush file saved before that update, it may still work as long as you don't reset it
