Can You Beat Sonic CD WITHOUT Defeating a Badnik?

[@juliewinchester1488]

Apparently, the mantis that "already threw it's weapon" is actually suppose to be like that! Sonic CD's time travel mechanic works on enemies as well - specifically, badniks in the past will always be in perfect condition, present badniks will be in *mostly* good condition, and most future badniks won't be working. The more you know, correct me if I'm wrong on any details.

[@TornadoesTheGamer]

You are very correct!

[@ItIsGMC]

For me I think in future, there should different locations for badniks and they be slightly more powerful

[@tamickajordan3587]

It is GMC but future sonic busted them up in the present destroying parts of them making their condition worst

[@theperfectpixl]

“Act 2 is just screaming ‘Hey, I’m just like Scrap Brain Act 2!’” Fun fact, all of the Sonic CD rounds except Wacky Workbench are arguable just more colorful versions of Sonic 1 stages. Green Hill -> Palmtree Panic Marble -> Quartz Quadrant Spring Yard -> Collision Chaos Labyrinth -> Tidal Tempest Star Light -> Stardust Speedway Scrap Brain -> Metallic Madness

[@GottaBeFrank]

They are derived from Sonic 1, but still find a way to stand out, visually. I think it's great.

[@johnlittle8045]

Honestly, your rule about it being okay to defeat bosses makes me think that it's okay to defeat those three lightning bug boys. That's a pretty clear-cut mini-boss fight, even if the bosses in question are just ordinary badniks. Having said that, I appreciate the dedication to an unimpeachable stance! Good luck on the next one.

You know what's weird about the platform stilts? They appear in Mania but not in Metallic Madness, even though it appears as well. They were put in Lava Reef instead.

[@StarBird06]

Oh yeah. If you go fast enough before time traveling, you are invincible.

[@aidensavickas9227]

If those badniks are required to face the boss no matter what, then it should be possible because they aren’t normal enemies that just give points and spawn flowers, they are a part of the boss, so by all means it IS possible

[@GAM3RK1NG.]

You’re right, about the pc version. It is possible to beat sonic cd without defeating a badnik, just not for the pc version. So you should have said: “is it possible to beat sonic cd without defeating a single badnik? Yes, but only if you have the original for Sega cd.”

[@GottaBeFrank]

Well the PC version is the one released in 1996, so it's a direct port of the Sega CD original, with some performance improvements. That's why the phasing through wall glitch still works.

[@smashmouthegg570]

You may be able to trigger the boss spawn through manipulating the trigger itself. One thing to mention, is that the boss spawn is linked to the door, so if you can open the door without killing the enemies you could fight the boss (I'm pretty sure) You could maybe manipulate the game into thinking YOUR death is the enemy's death therefore the door opens the next time you go to it. This is all just a theory tho.

In sonic CD if you run at max speed running into a badnick in any way defeats it even if you didn't attack it so you must have changed to maximum speed when you damage boosted

One other thing you didn't seem to realize about Sonic CD's mechanics is that you can avoid taking damage from the freezers in Wacky Workbench simply by timing a jump right when the ice block you're stuck in hits the ground.
