Can You Beat Sonic "Origins" WITHOUT Defeating a Badnik?!

[@GottaBeFrank]

"Why didn't you play all of the remasters of the games?" That would require me to re-record every single video and there's no official Sonic 3 & Knuckles remaster available right now. Sonic 3 AIR is fan made, so there is the possibility that the official remaster will have some differences. If you have more questions about new videos, find me on twitch. I can answer what I am able to there. www.twitch.tv/GottaBFrank

[@LukeStation]

Can I just say that I'm loving your new branding?? Having a small little animation like that at the start adds so much charm!

[@SethTheSouthernWeirdo]

I never found an update on this, so Imma just ask it here: how come you changed your name from Knuckles Channel 3 and Knuckles? Was it copyright or personal preference? I'm not mad about it, but simply curious since I watched the channel a while back, and when I came back, the name changed. EDIT: I love how you went through the effort of finding an obscure clip from TNA for a 5 second joke that only nerds like me will get. Love your dedication, man.

[@GottaBeFrank]

Heads up. This might be a bit of a long read. The new name came from not wanting to be attached to a character anymore and wanting a brand name I can call my own. Long story short, I wanted to branch out of just making Sonic content, due to severe burn out. There were times where it forced me to make videos I didn't want to make. It's pretty easy to tell which ones were made where I was just phoning it in. So I quickly rebranded the channel in January, but did such a poor job of explaining it, it started to hurt the channel. Many took the message the wrong way and assumed I hated the series now, when I only needed a break. This is, currently, my only source of income, so it wasn't good to have that resentment from my viewers. With the hype of the Sonic 2 movie and the fact that something needed to be done right now, I did a bit of damage control. Basically, made Sonic content for 2 months. Now, I'm ready to get back to what I planned in the rebrand video, which is now unlisted. Sonic content will still be around, but I also want to be happy as a content creator. If there's anymore questions, feel free to ask.

[@SethTheSouthernWeirdo]

@@GottaBeFrank As long as you're happy and sustainable, nothing else matters. It's your brand at the end of the day. When you're happy, we enjoy it more because it reflects in the product. Keep up the great work and take care of yourself man. Massive respect.

Hello there my good sir, i absolutely love your content. I will say this, i was quite surprised that you didn’t do any of the well known level wraps for these games to go along with your pacifist run. I’m always excited for more content from you.

[@callumbaurley716]

Something I noticed watching a before you buy video. There is an actual Pacifist challenge, It might be cool if (with Origins coming out) seeing where these challenges are and possibly doing a "Offical" version keeping these versions as the rule set is honestly awesome but would be interesting to see if this challenge is in CD as that is the only one of the origins that is impossible. Still awesome to watch

[@DJKisikil]

The best part about Sonic Origins is that you'll be able to play Sonic CD as Knuckles officially for the first time, meaning an easier way to not defeat Badniks.

[@GottaBeFrank]

Knuckles is not playable in Sonic CD. Famitsu posted an interview a few weeks back, confirming it.

[@razzley]

@@GottaBeFrank honestly, it kind of makes sense that he isnt in it, since he would break the verticality of the levels and make them even easier than tails did in the mobile remaster. However i have no doubt that people will mod him in day one

I do think you should've done sonic 3 with sonic + tails. I did and is actually not too bad. The sonic 3 levels are rough, with 4 of them being on par with metropolis zone, but after that it's pretty normal.

[@GottaBeFrank]

Looking back, it was smart not to bring Tails along. Carnival Night would have been nearly impossible.

[@noname-jt6kl]

@@GottaBeFrank actually it's one of the easier zones. Act 1 took like 5 minutes, and act 2 was a bit harder, but as long as you don't go near many bats and use super sonic to skip a portion it's not that bad. Marble garden, launch base, and hydrocity are much harder.

I think Mushroom Hill would be the dead end for me. There were so many points where I could knock out a clucker or whatever they're called.
