Because Gamma works quite a bit differently from the other characters.

[@RidleyKraid187]

10:00 Maybe the reason is because, since Gamma isn’t able to leave Eggman’s base until he completes Final Egg and the first Beta Boss, and then he’s immediately sent to Emerald Coast after that, there’s no reason for the Hotel Doors to close off Emerald Coast? You can’t leave Eggman’s base anyways, so that’s what keeps you from sequence breaking in Gamma’s story.

I've got a strong suspicion for why Gamma can lock onto the boxes in Lost World: he was supposed to go there at one point.

Perhaps Gamma was supposed to go there, but that was cut due to time constraints or issues fitting it into the story.

That would be really cool, honestly.

Gamma needs a target to initiate an attack, while the others can attack whenever they want. Because he's not programmed to target the boss, he can't attack at all. Just a guess for why he can't beat bosses like Amy/Big/ect Also 56:53 When someone asks me how I did something

I think its not so much that he's not programmed to target them and more that the bosses are lacking the script that designates them as a targetable object. Its probably the same script that puts the lock-on markers on the models.

[@kregheckel3628]

I think I know why you couldn't hover over the water in the snake chamber while you could over the other water. Simply put, the water in the snake chamber is a manipulative object, which in the coding Gamma doesn't recognize as regular water. If it's stagnant, non-moving water like in other stages or in the Adventure Fields, Gamma can hover over it fine. But because you can raise and lower the water levels in that section, the game doesn't have Gama recognise it as water, and as a result he slips right through it and into the kill plane. Hope this helps with explanation!

[@1Hol1Tiger]

It's because scanboxes for Gamma only show up if an enemy is listed as being associated with a stage Gamma can be played on. Egg Viper technically counts as a Final Egg enemy, and the only other bosses in the game that count as being associated with a non-adventure field stage? E-101, E-103, E-104, E-105.... That said, Egg Carrier is the stage set for E-101 MK 2 and Sonic, so theoretically Zero and Chaos 6 SHOULD be targetable as Gamma, and I don't know why they aren't... but E-102 has no enemies that spawn in Mystic Ruins and Station Square

[@End_Productions]

@@1Hol1Tiger Maybe it's because the destroyed egg carrier is a different stage?

[@rmzing]

I NOTICED SOMETHING ON LOST WORLD When you hit the checkpoint as Sonic, the time clocked in on the checkpoint was the time you started with, even if you were Gamma. YOU CAN USE THIS TO TEST IF SOMETHING IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE TIME LIMIT by hitting the checkpoint as another character when the timer is very high, then dying as Gamma.

[@anyapeanutlover]

Although, it makes no sense because- While converting from the actual time for Non-Gamma characters to Gamma, then he'll have absolutely no time to give, therefore instantly giving him the time out death animation and then went back to being 1 minute after respawning.

[@rmzing]

@@anyapeanutlover Start watching at 49:15. Notice when Sonic hits the checkpoint, the time registers as 2:46. When he next cuts back to Gamma, the timer is counting down from 2:36 remaining. I'm assuming this was the same run as before, and that he died as Gamma and restarted at the checkpoint with 2:46 remaining on the clock, even though, if the timer started counting up from 2:46, that would mean Gamma would have 14 seconds remaining, and thus the timer should have started at 1:00 for that life.

[@anyapeanutlover]

​@@rmzing That's because when hitting the checkpoint as a non-gamma character, the game reads it as (2:46) and then starts calculating the elapsed time from that point instead of starting off with (1:00). When he switches to Gamma, the checkpoint still registers as a non-gamma type character. That's how upon respawning as gamma, the time will always match up the time elapsed for Non-gamma characters to the actual Gamma timer. I think it resets the timer back to (1:00) if a Gamma character lands another new checkpoint that Non-Gamma characters didn't touch and then respawns. I haven't tested it yet, but i assume that's the case. Although, if a Gamma character touches the checkpoint and after respawn, the clock will still remains (1:00). He was near the end of the level at the time you provided (49:15), which makes more room for doubt to get further testing. You do have a point concerning about the time, and i have no intention of doubting you.

[@hyper_ninja3339]

So, what I learned from watching this video. I'm pretty sure that Gamma is programmed differently than all the anthropomorphic characters. Either that, or something about Gamma's physics doesn't agree with these auto segments. Perhaps the targeting works on a level by level basis. So like, Gamma's to target things in Emerald Coast and Final Egg because those are stages already in his story. I assume the crashes must be the game getting overloaded at times. Maybe Gamma's model is too complex or something, and it overloads the memory or something. The water you can fall through in Lost World acts a lot like wind, so maybe it's programmed as wind with a water texture. That's my best guess as to the things Gamma struggles with. I'm not able to tell without looking into the code though.

[@rockclanhawkstar1454]

Hmm, I actually have a theory on why you crashed. Quickest way I could explain it was like Doom Guy in the first doom game. What I mean is that the game shows two models and one is acting just like the normal boss fight Gamma but it's still "You" Meaning that you can't attack yourself otherwise damage will be done to the boss. And the Boss Gamma trying to shoot is in technicalities shooting itself causing the Crash. My Evidence for it is that boss gamma's gun flickered out of existence when you raised your weapon, showing that there is some form of connection between the two of you.

[@MikeThePsykat]

Wait, but if that's true, then how did he do the Knuckles vs Knuckles fight in this video then?

​@@MikeThePsykat You make a really good point there Mike. Hmm I feel like it specifically has something to do with the gun. Like maybe that one is just being the clone and not the whole Gamma.

That could be it. I don't really know much about coding, so I wouldn't know.

[@1Hol1Tiger]

@@MikeThePsykat No idea, especially since it's not the only "Wait, but why?" E-102 can target anything that is associated with a stage that E-102 can play, Egg Viper is flagged as being part of Final Egg, this is so that Final Egg can lead into Egg Viper directly. Most bosses take place on Adventure Fields, and E-102 doesn't have any enemies that originate from Adventure Fields... E-101 counts as part of Final Egg, E-103 as part of Windy Valley, E-104 as part of Red Mountain, E-105 as part of Hot Shelter. But... E-101 Mk 2 and Sonic are both part of the Egg Carrier, so, why the hell can't E-102 hit Zero and Chaos 6? I don't know. My only guess is that bosses on Adventure Fields are their own "instance" and not part of the Adventure Field, and Egg Viper is the sole exception so that Sonic can face him the second Final Egg ends

[@Ninetails2000]

@@MikeThePsykat Most likely it's the act of locking on that's making it crash. With VS Knux it's a physical fight and doesn't involve any extra mechanisms but VS Gamma involves shooting and CPU Gamma locking on to stuff is handled differently than how Player Gamma does it(CPU Gamma locks onto a target and fires with the reticule staying where it was first locked to ensure that it misses while Player Gamma locks onto a target and fires with the reticule staying on whatever it was he shot at to ensure that it hits. Since there's to Gammas with two different locking mechanisms at the same time it's probably getting confused enough to crash.

[@OMGreviewer]

My guess for the water thing is that since the water moves, It's coded different, and as such, the game doesn't treat it as normal water. I did see you go into water floating mode, so maybe it's magic

[@AniMerrill]

I was honestly surprised because Big's adventure in your last videos was such an in depth look, I figured Gamma would be a walk in the park. This is definitely a wild ride, and it's interesting to see all the different things the developers decided to do to make things work. Here are some of my theories for why certain things happen, although I have no way of looking at the code or having any official debug access: * Gamma can only lock onto certain things because his shooting requires a lock-on. This lock-on is probably caused when a ray cast (visually indicated by the laser on his head) hits a collision box flagged for being a valid lock-on target. This then adds to the counter of targets currently in queue, and upon release of the action button Gamma fires missiles at the targets which only interact with valid lock-on targets. I'm not sure why it wouldn't just be flagged for everything, or why collision boxes flagged for enemies/destructables wouldn't be good enough, but I assumed they maybe wanted to have specific control of things in the environment for the purposes of Gamma's specific shoot-to-get-time mechanic. * The frequent clipping likely happens because of the way Gamma changes into separate modes. I know from working with game collision that you frequently have problems and need to develop work arounds for when having a character frequently changing their collision shape (i.e. classic example is a crouching character, like in the 2d Mario games). God only knows how they handle this, but it seems like the worst clipping happens when you hit a speed booster which makes sense because you would be switching between collision states while also suddenly travelling at a higher than normal velocity. I think this was well tested in Gamma's own stages, but it seems on the thin collision of Speed Highway's roads it causes issues. It might also be related to the issues with how Gamma seems to handle certain geometry, like the small lip in Lost World, because unlike other characters or when he is in walking mode his wheeled form poorly tolerates geometry outside of the tolerances made for him in his own levels. * I don't know what causes the grand majority of crashes (tbh it sounds like you need a clean install with whatever mod version initially worked without issues), but as for the Final Egg crashes I remember those crab like enemies being notorious for issues back in the day. I'm not sure why those kinds of things would happen on your modern computer though, as I think the issues were related to them pushing the entity limit of the consoles they were originally on. I sort of wonder what would have happened if you had, for example, killed several of them to reduce the amount and leave before they respawned. It is odd that they were not consistent crashes though, which means that it's probably not possible to accurately diagnose the bug. * My guess is that some of the anomalies, like Gamma being able to shoot the Egg Viper and those claws, is probably from dummied out content that would have brought Gamma's story into direct confrontation with Eggman at some point. It's definitely well known that there were a lot of scrapped ideas and areas that didn't make it in or only partially made it in, but in the course of game development it's like... not worth the effort of erasing that data unless it causes so much fat it wont fit on the disc, you know? As for why the Egg Viper seemingly controls Gamma to some degree, I really have no idea and it's super odd, my guess is that some sort of root code is likely used for both and because you are violating the assumed parameters of the game by having Gamma in Sonic's fight, maybe some low level instruction or bunk memory call causes the code to execute for both the Viper and Gamma simultaneously.

Maybe the reason Gamma can lock on to things in Final Egg as opposed to anything else is maybe because since Gamma’s Final Egg level is pretty much just one section from Sonic’s level everything is coded in a way Gamma can interact with it? I don’t know, that’s the best I’ve got

58:17 another possibility (although less likely) is that Gamma is breaking the script were Sonic gets launched to the other platform. Your theory seems more plausible. Your theory could also explain the numerous crashes, the game could be trying to use variables that in Gamma's stages are reserved just for him, and because multiple things are trying to use the same address, data gets used in ways it wasn't supposed to be (perhaps Gamma's state or another object's state gets set to an invalid action?)

[@Julian_Pepper]

@@Roach1 It's probably bypassing the Jump button all together, the Character Battles use the same character object as when the player is controlling said character.

[@sonicrunn3r895]

Speed Highway Enemy score bonus: My guess is that the police cars are giving you exponential points because of the ‘squash and stretch’ allowing them to ‘die’ multiple times and the only reason you didn't notice the difference was that the only other stage with enemies like that was Ice Cap (which was impossible).

[@bobbob1876]

Hey, Charriii! I'm rewatching this video before I check out Part 2, and I just wanted to say I appreciate how you skip impossible areas in order to show what's beyond it-- with intentions to revisit said area. A lot of people that do stuff like this just give up 20 minutes in, even though there's an entire game waiting behind that easily passable waist-high fence! (Easily passable as in, just swapping to another character or moonjumping past it, which most people that give up at the first sight of a barrier would never consider due to it being "cheating".)

[@agentblackbird9435]

This really makes me believe Gamma had very little programming and was added somewhat late into the game.

[@iruama1405]

These playthroughs shows how resourceful the team was. But there's things that still don't make sense. Like making gamma being the only character who can't hit chaos. Edit : idk about coding too much but I think that the game might have an environmental hurtbox for all characters that is separate from the enemy hurtbox. Which is why gamna clips through certain areas and why the ramp (37:03) doesn't work with gamma. Maybe for some reason gamma's environmental hurtbox is too big for certain areas. Which means that its bigger than big's.

[@elgoog-the-third]

I am a dev, and I must say, the way this game handles what is able to lock on and what isn't, etc, is so very bizarre, the only way I can explain this to myself is that they had multiple teams working on different stages in parallel, leading to things that seem to be the same be implemented differently, because teams. But eh. I wasn't there when this was made, so ultimately, I am clueless. Also, this is the DX version he played. They made quite a bunch of modifications to the game compared to the Dreamcast original, though afaik nothing that changes the game mechanics when you play it as intended.

[@biscuitslash5443]

It's so shocking to see Gamma's gameplay go from what to me was one of the most fun characters to play as, to being far beyond a janky mess. You've really done us a great favour by powering through all of that! I'm very thankful that I know in-depth as to why I should *not* mod the game to play as Gamma anywhere! Honestly I'd love to see developer commentary on this sort of thing. Obviously the programmers are under no obligation to do so, but hearing them talk about the ins and outs of how the game is programmed and what exactly it is that makes Gamma be handled so differently would be really fascinating to hear. In particular I'd love to know what separates the melee targets from the ranged "lock-on" targets, and why the hell the latter doesn't work against any non-Sonic player character fight.

I think the "Eggman controlling Gamma" thing in the Viper fight is on point, considering everytime he said "No way!" Gamma jumped. Kinda coincidental that he has control over Gamma, of all characters.

[@kot4311]

16:00 I think the reason you restarted the area with like 2:06 is because you entered the area with Sonic with that time. It might also apply with the other checkpoints where if you wait for like 10 minutes with another character and then touch a checkpoint with that character, anytime you’d die with Gamma you’d get those 10 minutes on the timer

I was thinking that once you got the jet booster, you should've gone back to windy valley to see if he could cheese the final part like Tails can. But then I thought, "well, since he still needs to do the other stories in the next part, he can test that with Tails' windy valley in the next part". I actually knew about Gamma not being able to target Chaos due to an action replay code a friend of mine used on the GC version. It seems that Gamma is programmed to only target things that he's supposed to be able to interact with.

Alright in at 14:46 the reason why gamma cant go in there is because he wasn't programmed to do so. So the game doesn't know what to do, so the game frezzes gamma Edit: it also maybe like you said his model too. And gamma has shown to have different properties in levels, so his programming is different by a lot not just in characters and things he can interact with than the other characters

I imagine the curious ways some of the doors in Station Square work for Gamma compared to Big is that while Emerald Coast isn't Gamma's first stage it is his first stage when he first travels there and in that instance the station is closed while in Big's story he has to do Twinkle Park, then go do Ice Cap in Mystic Ruins and come back to enter Emerald Coast. It would seem that regardless of which character's story you're in some of the restrictions on where you can go are based on which character you're controlling.

[@MikeThePsykat]

Actually, the reason is because there was a scraped "puzzle" for Big where he had to place these small cube-like objects in cube shaped things in the hotel. You can see these in the final game, but the "puzzle" is automatically completed after a certain story flag is triggered. So, when Big is in Sonic's story, the game thinks that the "puzzle" still needs to be solved, but switching to Sonic makes the game go "oh, he doesn't have this puzzle, so make it complete and open the door!" Gamma also never had this puzzle so the game just let's him on through. At least, that's what I've heard anyways.I know that if you use glitches to sequence brake into Big's Emerald Coast early, then you'll find said puzzle and have to solve it to get into Emerald Coast.

14:42 I remember doing a sequence break on Dreamcast back in the day to force gamma into casinopolis. You had to build momentum against one of the invisible barriers on top of the trains at the station and eventually you could launch yourself through the roof and to the loading area with a leap of faith behind the geometry. Crazy hard stuff, but if memory serves if you stand still for like a minute or so it eventually would send you to the pinball table.
