Can We Beat Sonic Adventure 2 ONLY Using Sonic?

Shadow: I’m the ultimate life form! Sonic: Oh yeah? Can you bounce? Shadow: …damn.

If shadow had any other ability that would make the run different I would totally do another run with him, but as he is now it would literally just be this exact same video, minus whichever levels required a super bounce.

[@douglasbrzeski668]

The magic hands were clearly gonna be a bigger mechanic at some point and the developers spent way too much time coding them to cut it. There's literally no use for them or anything u need them to obtain but they're just sort of there as a bonus.

[@EpicDuskk]

They come in handy for 100% completing the game, but you're right they're not actually required. I think it would have been cool to see them used more, but I also think its neat having secret features like this that half the people dont even know about. Its like one of those playground rumors: "Did you know theres a secret power up that lets sonic turn enemies into balls? You have to find a secret room in the first level to get it!" Only this one is real lol.

[@TheFluBugZ]

@EpicDuskk I've found the magic hands make a couple of spots in Crazy Gadget and in Sonic's Canon Core section a little easier for me to do. Helps with the Copy Chaos enemies that'll shoot out their tendrils then fire at you.

[@Zethoro]

Nice video! Really impressed with a lot of these you did, it's no small feat. A few corrections: -Prison Lane and Lost Colony are not clearable, but both of them can actually go very far into the level. Prison Lane is just one robot in the final room from being clearable, and Lost Colony it's actually possible to make it past the door after the elevator, but you quickly hit a wall at the final bomb door of the level, with no way past other than maybe some ridiculous TASbouncing. -Iron Gate is actually clearable! It's probably the toughest possible "alt-character" clear in the game, and it was finally done in real time by AxlThunder sometime last year. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4HdaIWipMp-g9Usi=jFMtrs1heAI1M10z

[@EpicDuskk]

KZbin really sucks because I tried so hard to find videos of those levels being possible, and that one never came up. It looks insanely difficult, I might have to attempt that next after I mentally recover from the eternal engine skip. Thank you for finding that video! As for Prison Lane, I cannot find any video of anyone getting past that door that I got stuck on. I saw one video that said they got to the point at the end so I know what robot your talking about, but that video never explained how they got past that hallway. If you know how I'd love to hear it!

[@Zethoro]

@@EpicDuskk I do! I'm one of the people who was working with bandy and charii for their video back in 2020 on that stage specifically. You have to do a pretty annoying superbounce off a very small ledge to sneak around the ceiling collision. Here's a video of the whole route from back then. Didn't think anyone would need it since the level was uncompletable, but maybe I should make it public on the off-chance someone needs it, that way they can find it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haOmm41or6l6qJYsi=b28U18TotaLuCjQy Good luck on doing the eternal engine ending if you come back to it! It's an insanely tough strat but I believe you can do it.

[@EpicDuskk]

​@@Zethoro YES thank you so much for this! I wonder why it was never included in bandy's video, thats such an interesting way to do it! Also I did end up completing Eternal Engine in this video :P I saved it for the end for dramatic effect lol. I wish I would have known all this sooner tbh, would have loved to include both these tricks in the video, I might want to do an update video but man it would have been awesome to get it in this one. Although I'd probably still be attempting Iron Gate skips lol.

[@comicfan1324]

“Sonic is the only fun character in Sonic Adventure 2” Shadow: … Edit: personally I enjoyed the Mech stages, but I’m not a big fan of the treasure hunting stages in this game. I’m not sure why I found the levels at least decent in Sonic Adventure, but here not so much.

[@EpicDuskk]

The treasure hunting stages get alot more fun once you get better at them. Moving around quickly as knuckles and rouge is really fun, and when you get to the point where you read one hint and know where the emerald is, the levels become more about doing them quickly, vs trying to actually find them. I will say though I would like to have seen more levels that used treasure characters, but for non hunting levels. I have alot of fun playing as them in sonic's levels

[@SaddieMoon]

[@OtakuKrap]

Love this video! There was a surprising amount that I didn't know you could do here, though I wonder if we could take this further- There is a pretty obscure trick you can do in (or rather out of) Cannon's Core that might make it possible with Sonic actually. I'm not entirely sure how it works but it seems like you do M2 of Cannon's Core, beat a kart level, and then you'll be summoned into Knuckles part automatically afterwards. I wasn't able to find any videos of people explaining this trick but it's performed here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHjQdJKNatpmb7ssi=zLR9U0C8i1yRhjOh&t=16690 If Sonic could perform the Knuckles and Rouge clips, or somehow get through their sections, it might just be possible completely with Sonic?

[@EpicDuskk]

Interesting! I'll have to look into that for sure. I know from the randomizer mod that Knuckle's level is for sure beatable by a speed character. (I know the randomzier changes some things, but I'm confident it wouldn't matter) For rouges part, i dont know if theres a way to the top of the pillar where the first time switch is. Maybe when falling into the level for the first time you could just hit it? Or possibly somewhere else you can clip out. Either way Ill have to look into these and see if its possible! Thank you for the comment!

[@GianfrancoLaRotta]

Amazing!! 0:06

[@Zinkolo]

Having side characters is the reason why this and many other games failed. They need to stop having drastically different gameplay styles. This game would have been much better if they focused on Sonic gameplay primarily given their tight budget and Rushed development

[@EpicDuskk]

Terrible take imo. I love the alternate playstyles and want them to come back.

[@zombiehater6547]

7:00 Raid Shadow Legends jumpscare

[@Beatinperminute]

iron gate is doable as sonic, it's just stupidly difficult and requires you to clip out of bounds on top of the doors and quite a few sometimes-blind spindash jumps on to many pieces of invisible collision. Prison lane up until the last checkpoint is doable as even shadow with some very fun-looking cylinder clippage, knuckles can complete the stage through many of the same methods shadow (and therefore sonic) can use, but has the advantage of being able to glide to skip the final enemy gauntlet. Shoutouts to axlthunder for doing both of the above on video btw, the iron gate as sonic one is mind-blowing in particular.

[@EpicDuskk]

Yeah I have been made aware of this. Definitely gotta try them and do an updated video eventually.

[@ZainTheMan]

It was great following your *Adventure* through all the stages as sonic in the live streams! It was probably my first time seeing your channel, and I'm glad about it. Keep up the great stuff and I know that you will beat Eternal Engine as sonic someday!

[@chadisnotachad]

I was hoping you found a work around for Prison Lane. Oh well, not on you.

[@EpicDuskk]

Yeah that would have been cool. I tried alot, and we researched other similar challenges and nobody seems to have a way to do it. I found one video where the person said they made it all the way to the end, but they didnt show how they got past this door so I dont think they actually did it.

[@TheCreationOfDread]

Try doing Amy if she can be played as like Metal Sonic

[@EpicDuskk]

I have a video of Amy using her new tricks mod! I probably wont do just a vanilla run with her since she's pretty similar to sonic, minus a few abilities.

[@RachleRahRah]

If you're playing on pc version, the sa2 mod manager has some useful codes already implemented into it, including giving Shadow the bounce bracelet!

[@EpicDuskk]

Yeah I know, but for the sake of these challenges the goal is to see if the character can beat the levels on their own. Giving shadow bounce bracelet and magic hands basically just turns him into a sonic skin.

[@RachleRahRah]

@@EpicDuskk oh that's fair enough

[@SHMOUSEY86]

You get shot up by every pulley because they're all calibrated for Tails's weight in the mech. They're all calibrated to make Tails jump off at a specific height, so when playing as the much lighter Sonic you get launched a lot higher.

As for the Cannons Core and the other bomb doors in Tails/Eggman levels, if you simply jump on them they explode with no damage (in my experience) and the doors in cannons core are breakable with the same strategy!

You can actually still beat king boo boom if you dont beat him in one circle,when the cutscene after the place gets lit up end you have to jump as fast as you can to were king boo boom is before he elevates to the walls,he will start to wiggle when your on top of him,so you have to calculate a summer assult directly on the wall to get him out.

[@Otukuoi]

Theory: I'm pretty sure the Tails and Eggman pulleys launch Sonic because Tails and Eggman have stronger gravity, and so they have to get up with a very small boost for a jump. Meanwhile, Sonic (and everyone else) have *way* lower gravity, and so that "boost" is very very evident.

[@EpicDuskk]

That makes sense, but I feel like when I use mech characters on speed stages the pullys work as normal, but i'm not 100% sure, maybe i should go back and check.

[@Cainb23]

just for future reference no one is gonna click off if you have a sponsor, well no one reasonable, its only annoying when its placed annoyingly in the middle of the video. most of us rooting for you to get sponsors just hopefully well placed.

[@EpicDuskk]

I know most people would be ok with it, and I was just making a joke, but sponsorships is something I'm kinda iffy about. Personally I dont like em like 99% of the time. Its always from companies or products that the creator themselves dont actually use. It feels really unauthentic when a gaming creator is promoting a game like Raid Shadow Legends when I know damn well they dont actually play the game themselves for example. And then the ads get put in the middle of the video like you mentioned, and thats on purpose, the sponsors will usually require that because they know if its at the end of a video most people will click away, and if its at the beginning you'll skip past it. They want the ad in the middle when you already have the video up and have committed to watching it. If a company like SEGA wanted to sponsor me to promote the next Sonic game or something, I'd probably jump on that for sure, because it relates to my content, and its something I genuinely would like to promote. But I dont think I'll be doing any lootbox, raid shadow legends, dollar shave club, etc type sponsorships. Then again I'm still in the early stages, I dont know how much those sponsors pay, so maybe one day my opinion will change on that. I've only ever been offered a sponsorship once, and it was from some company that sells hacked animal crossing items, they offered me $500 to promote them in a video back when I made Animal Crossing videos in 2020 and I turned that down because I felt it was kind of a sketchy website. Regardless, I appreciate the kind words, and I know most people would be fine with it. For now though I'm just focusing on making videos and growing the channel. If I can get to the point where my videos regularly get around 25000 views I think I could do this full time and make videos like this every day. And if I get to that point where ad revenue and stream subscriptions are enough to pay the bills then I doubt i'd take a sponsor unless its something I actually wanna promote.

Im pretty sure the thing with pumpkin hill forcing an emerald underground if you dont have the shovel claws, checks if your current character has the claws, and because sonic doesn’t have them, knuckle does, its forced underground.

Yeah the magic hands are cool! People forget about it because you never need them, but I like using them alot

[@wlshedd]

Mountain Dew is the best

Nathaniel Bandy did this exact video 3 years ago

[@EpicDuskk]

Yeah plenty of people have done it. We need more people making Sonic Adventure videos, then SEGA might actually stop being cowards and make a new Adventure game

You just know chat was harassing him for calling the keys emeralds while he was streaming, and that’s why we have those scenes

[@johnivey5906]

[@aureliamastergoomba1278]

Looks like Sonic went to the Mystery Goomba school of beating the death barrier

[@Brandon-q9x]

Pls do metal sonic

[@PlayPodOG]

nah enlisting "speed runners" kind of...defeats the point of the challenge unless you have them do the whole challenge and you commentate about it.

[@EpicDuskk]

I wouldn't say it "defeats the point" since the goal of the video is showing what's possible, not necessarily what the creator is capable of. I will agree though that its less satisfying when they do that. I think alot of entertainment value for this video came from the struggle, and then the ending where we actually pulled it off to end the video. That would have been lost had I just said "I cant do it so here's a video of someone else proving its possible" I just really wanted to emphasize that I wasn't trying to imply that im better then anyone else because I did it myself. I'm just a very stubborn person when it comes to challenges like these, I will literally spend 12 hours trying to make one stupid jump lol.
