Can you beat Sonic 2 WITHOUT pressing RIGHT OR LEFT?!

[@campbellsonic]

2:05 There actually are some level changes in Knuckles in Sonic 2! They were only able to change the object layouts due to technical limitations, but they added some new secrets including those 1-ups, as well as adding invisible walls to some places to prevent Knuckles from cheesing levels, most notably at the end of Wing Fortress to prevent him from skipping the boss arena.

I absolutely adore the fact that we've basically hit the wall in terms of optimised speed runs for all the old Sonic games, so the only new stuff comes from ridiculous things like this. I doubt they knew when they made this game how obsessively it would later be dissected by people with this much free time.

Comentário tão estupido que eu dei não gosto no vídeo

[@Skarfar90]

There are two modes to this challenge; Hard: Play it on emulated hardware with save states. Impossible: Play it on the Genesis (Mega Drive).

[@Sovic91]

Ah, this brings back momories. I remember a few years ago trying to do this challenge on the mobile version of Sonic 2 and of course fail miserably, although I was trying without up or down as well. I actually thought it was impossible. So one day I stumbled upon the Sonic Mania challenge video and thought to myself: "Oh, someone else is also doing this and even making video about it. It's gonna be interesting" After I've watched the video I thought to myself: "Ok, I'm realy bad at doing this" That is actually how I got Introduced to your channel and I've been enjoying your videos since then. Keep up the good work and good luck with your next challenge. P.S. Ok, something wierd happened to my original comment. When I posted it I scrolled down to read other comments and saw my own twice. I decided to delete one of them and both got deleted. So I had to rewrite it again.

5:24 there’s actually an easier way to do this: *First when you get near the spring, glide and land on the perfect area of it and make sure u have enough momentum to make it to the platform. (The space between the ceiling and the platform is not really that small so it’s not too difficult)* Why not go back to there and try it? (Might take a couple tries)

[@elizabethwarren146]

I was inspired by this video to try this challenge in Proto Palace Zone and Hidden Palace Zone, since neither of those could be done in this version. Both levels are theoretically possible, but it took me NUMEROUS tries to get to Hidden Palace’s boss and I don’t even know if the boss is possible.

[@noname-jt6kl]

I discovered a few things to make some levels easier: 1. In chemical plant act 2 there is a path which allows you to go through only 1 tube, and this tube happens to have an arc above it which allows you to bounce away from the spring, meaning you can complete the level normally. 2. The aquatic ruin boss is way easier if you get on top of the left pillar and spindash into him. 3. the hilltop boss can be beaten by spindashing into him when on the right, pushing you to the left, then gliding through him back to the right and tepeating, making damage avoidance easy. 4. You can just manage to hit the death egg robot when he is walking to you from the left, but it is very hard to do, making the space management less of an issue.

[@cicstommy]

Imagine 25 years ago when this game was released, completing it would give a certain amount of satisfaction. This guy’s done it without using the two most fundamental controls. Madness 👍🏼 😅 P.S. Admire the amount of time and work you must have put into making this. Extreme dedication.

there IS level differences in Sonic 2 & Knuckles, actually. They added Knuckles-specific paths like the ones you use. Also interesting to note, all of the Sonic 2 level data is on the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge. the Sonic 2 cart just tells the game it's ok to access it.

[@bloxywatergamer9945]

In aquatic ruin, you can also make a precise landing on the statues. That’s how I beat this level

[@H0n3yMonstah]

I remember finding those extra lives as Knuckles in the chemical plant zone when I was a kid. I don't think you can reach them as Sonic (although I'd like someone to prove me wrong). I'd wager that plugging the cartridge into sonic 2 not only implants Knuckles into the game, but some extra items such as those 1ups.
