Thank you, guys. The songs are added to the list. Feel free to check them out.

I love how nobody seems to credit the Tails player here; clearly, these two are very well coordinated, give or take, and there's nothing wrong with that, but the Sonic player is in no way doing all the work imo. ex. The Marble Garden Tunnelbot, which the Tails player was constantly shielding the Sonic player and helping him defeat the boss much faster.

[@MrKrunkles]

It's the same player, he's probably just switching between player 1 and 2 using a keybind on the emulator.

[@MrKrunkles]

oh daym., you're probably right, though if it's a tas they could've given it some more flare.

[@JagerWarrior247]

Some of these hacks allow player one to press up+jump to allow semi control of tails, as in the flight and still let them jump off as sonic.
