Sonic 1 Game Gear - Max Special Bonus Speedrun in

[@maximuscesar]

I played the shit out of this game when I was a kid, I knew every corner of it (well, the master system version anyways). I always thought that if I would ever get into speedrunning this game would be my game.

Congrats, Werster! Another one to add to your list! (And, another one in your brother's home domain, if I'm not mistaken)

[@Danbotology]

Excellent job! Even though it was essentially the same game, I always preferred this version to the Master System. It just felt faster and tighter.

[@chan4est]

Nice job!

[@HeadMinerve]

Special 3 was quite the bounce.

[@phozonn]

SPECIAL 3 EXCUSE ME

[@MrSparkle404]

Serious game for a serious category.

[@marcuso7350]

1:18 fake spikes?

Bad hit box

Why do you time this game in RTA instead of IGT? Or is the timer on the side simply for the audience's convenience?

[@Flametix]

Something to note about this run: This game is timed with the convoluted "Real time minus time bonus" method. Due to the huge time bonus, plain real time is simply not an option. Usually in these cases you would use In-Game time, but this game both doesn't have an In-Game timer for Act 3s, but also the strats for hitting the signpost at the end vary for real time and IGT (IGT stops as soon as you hit it, but real time progresses when the signpost stops spinning, so you want to hit it with no speed), so it's forced to use this timing method. As a result, you see the timer paused for a period of time after the level, equivalent to the time bonus length (though it's not exactly lined up, cause I can't split right there and be ready to press the button fast enough for some of the smaller ones) - but I always confirm the total time later with full RTA - total Time Bonus anyway.

@@Flametix TLDR: READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE COMMENTING!!!!!

I find it hella weird that sonic games are the only attempts you never stream

[@Davvg]

Dr.fatbody I would think it’s because werster wouldn’t be able to interact with chat at all

[@MrPhAnToM1004]

i would love to know if this game came with a seizure warning

[@bruh9038]

not as fast as keemstar

[@metaljacket8128]

Seems like a 100% run to me.
