Game Description
===============
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a 1994 platform game developed and published by Sega. It is part of the Sonic the Hedgehog series and follows Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992). After Doctor Robotnik's spaceship, the Death Egg, crash-lands on a mysterious floating island, Sonic and Tails attempt to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds to stop it from relaunching. Sonic 3 introduces Knuckles the Echidna, the island guardian, who lays traps for Sonic and Tails. Gameplay is similar to previous entries, with players traversing side-scrolling levels at high speeds while collecting rings and defeating enemies.

For people who are confused, this is a TAS, or Tool-Assisted Speedrun. In a TAS, emulator tools are used to achieve tricks and glitches that are so precise as to be impossible or impractical to perform by a human in a legitimate run. This is done by slowing the game down and playing frame by frame, input by input, and these inputs are then played back in-game similar to the intro demonstrations seen if the title screen is left alone for a short time. For this reason, TASes are never submitted for World Records, and are typically done for research, such as mapping out runs, or for pure entertainment value to see what is theoretically possible to do in the game. Also, from my understanding most TAS creators aren't active WR chasers. This is also not the original version of Sonic 3 or Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but instead Sonic 3 Complete, a 2013 ROM hack of Sonic 3 & Knuckles restores various elements intended for Sonic 3's original release that were either cut or changed due to time constraints. There are a multitude of options that can be enabled when booting up the game, including adding the Super Peel-Out move from Sonic CD, which is why it is seen in this run.

[@The-Thomas-and-Sonic-Guy]

In short: Tas is "Tool assisted speedrun" and shows off/ preformes actions that are technecly humanly impossible.

[@AonelEchi]

If anyone has questions, I am plead to answer. Q: How did you use different soundtrack for Carnival Night, Ice Cap, and Launch Base? A: It’s in Music Settings in the Main Menu. Select “S&K Collection”. Q: What game is this? A: It’s in the title, Sonic 3 Complete. Q: How did you cancel your Super/Hyper form? A: It’s an option in the Main Menu. Q: Why does Lava Reef Zone (Act I) sound different? A: I think cause of the S&K Collection music. Maybe happens when you select S&K Collection it happens. Q: What’s does TAS mean? A: Tool Assisted Speedrun. So what it means is that the speed run tricks in this video cannot be done by a human. Q: How did you use the Super Peelout? A: Again, option in the main menu.

[@Moss_Dude]

I have a question, what was with the bizarre pathing in the blue sphere stages? Intentionally hitting the bumpers doesn't look like it would save any time, and he moved through the blues so weirdly, it really looked like it would be slower.

[@FoxyGekkerson]

Several times throughout the special stages, Sonic was able to turn an array of blue spheres into rings without touching all the spheres on the perimeter (0:25, 1:02, 2:17, 4:40, 6:12, 9:40,) land and turn on white spheres without bouncing backward (6:05, 6:11, 8:22,) and touch red spheres without ending the stage (4:28, 8:47,) and that’s just what I saw within the first 10 minutes. I know tool-assisted runs can do all sorts of game-breaking feats that are impossible for humans, but how were you able to do all that?

[@josephchillemi7523]

Actually, that's one of the mechanics of the stage. If you make a loop of red spheres with there being blues inside then the whole square turns to rings

[@empiar5481]

There's some type of bug with how the game reads the perimeter of spheres. I'm not sure of the specifics or how to abuse it but it's not the first time I've seen a TAS do that.

[@TSotP]

Hyper Sonic is awesome. If you get good with the Special Stages, you can be Super Sonic before the end of Hydrocity, and Hyper Sonic before the end of Flying Battery. I'm no pro runner, but I had a save on my cartridge that had 64 lives and 24 continues with Sonic. And that was without using the cheese in Launch Base Zone to get 99 lives (Stand between the alarms that summon the attacking birds while doing a spin-dash. Every 5 birds is an extra life. Hold the buttons down and then go do something more interesting for 10min.

[@kyoobqa]

It's just a Thing™ that you can do with the right setup. _Under certain conditions it's possible to jump directly on a red sphere and turn on it without losing. This trick likely has something to do with subpixel position. At lowest speed (first 1800 frames of the stage) it's possible to turn in the same direction as what was the previous turn. After speedup things get somewhat more complicated._ - From submission #5639 on TASVideos

Sorry for ask, but why the soundtrack is diferent?

[@Megakell0]

I know this is a late response, but basically Micheal Jackson's music team helped create some of the songs for Sonic 3 & Knuckles, including sounds from other songs (the glass break sound in carnival night or the 'go' line in launch base for example) and therefore Sega legally don't own the tracks. To avoid any copyright battles, the Jackson team's music was replaced by unrefined prototype music originally designed for the game in all future versions. This includes (as far as I'm aware): Knuckles' theme Mini Boss fights Super sonic's theme Carnival Night act 1 & 2 Ice Cap act 1 & 2 Launch Base act 1 & 2 Edit: and the credits song!
