On Rhea Island when you reach a certain point you can see Kronos. Go towards the left mountain top to the left of the waterfall looking towards kronos and keep dropdashing into the invisible wall going farther and farther left closer towards the closest tower you can see in Kronos and you should eventually clip back into kronos. There are no enemies, no rails, and no springs or rings. It's able to be fully explored but the only way out is to go to the map menu and select a different island. Saving and reloading while there will load you so that your still out of bounds. You can also clip through towards the back of the isand the same way. You'll just fall into the water and respawn though. I should mention I did this on the switch version.

[@derpnessanimations9163]

you should make a vid on that, it sounds fire

[@laudj_art]

DUDE I NEED TO SEE THAT

[@SoraFantasia]

It's also possible to get softlocked doing this glitch, although a simple island change should fix it

[@lpfan4491]

Clipping into Kronos? All that happened for me when I tried is that I clipped through the floor and died.

[@LokesterSound]

Rhea island, Kronos, and orenous(or however you spell it) were all one island at one point. Sonic team literally cookie cut it out of Kronos. On the switch version you can find an early build of Kronos with them all together. Also using the giant height glitch in this video. When you look down at Kronos you can still see the outline of the other islands in the water in the base game. It’s a different shade. Game was not finished at all 😭

[@ingeniousclown]

The fact that there doesn't seem to be an invisible ceiling is amazing

[@thund3r94]

people have used the jump glitch to skip to giganto in under 10 minutes, and theres a way to trigger the wyvern boss early as well speedruns are gonna be super fun for this game

[@Somerandomjingleberry]

When I encountered some jank like this in my initial playthrough, I actually smiled and laughed. It wouldn’t be a sonic game without at least a bit of this. It’s like an old friend

[@flamester6014]

Idk if this is intended or something but I’ve skipped entire platforming sections around mountains with very slight slopes by spamming drop dash, which actually bypasses Sonic Sliding down the slope, and lets him climb up. Normally sonic isn’t supposed to climb up these spots since they’re meant to be too steep for him; but for whatever reason, Dropdash completely bypasses that I used this to save myself from death too lol. One big thing I remember using it for was to climb up the volcano in the third island without having to take the super long route up, and skipping some platforming sections as a result. Might not be a glitch but definitely a helpful Speedrun trick. Hell it could probably be used to get out of bounds somehow. I can try and get a clip too if a visual is needed lol

[@ValGuard4801]

Noted. I've just relied on brute forcing up slide slopes with instant double jump airboosts at angles.

[@flamester6014]

@@ValGuard4801 Yeah be sure to use it anytime there’s something up a mountain. The mountains usually have very slight slopes that are barely tilted enough for drop dash to climb up. Though you do have to spam the hell out of drop dash for it to work. And be sure to hold forward too cuz sometimes the slope pushes sonic back if you don’t

[@killercross9929]

The stomp glitch can be used the same way but with the homing attack. Discovered this when I was trying to S rank a cyber space level, I accidentally boosted while homing in on a buzz-bomber and flew like a bullet! It doesn’t give height but it gives great speed/distance because you still retain the homing attacks speed while boosting, increasing its speed. Time was something like: S 1:55:00 My time: S 0:46:37

[@DPadGamer]

Nice! I believe thats called a Magnet Dash. Its pretty strong from whar ive heard

[@killercross9929]

@@DPadGamer oh you BET it is, but depending on distance from sonic to target, it needs a little practice to make sure you don’t face plant into the enemy’s attack. Remember: boosting can’t bash enemies anymore

[@elitobin]

From what I've seen this game looks so goofy, I don't care about sonic games but I might buy this one

[@NightcoreClips_]

I really think so too

[@tardissins7512]

The air parry thing is infinite if you keep holding the buttons, it’s fun

[@TheJadeFist]

A possible exploit, I've noticed the Cyber Space goals are the same object that spits you out into the level at the start. Now there are usually invisible barriers that block you from going back to it. But if you could go back to it, might it end the level same as the exit? This could be the case and the games devs were be aware of it, which is why the game has barriers or launches you from a ramp or something to prevent you from going back. Why make it hard to go back to it otherwise? This would be on a level by level basis if there was some way to do it, but some potential is there.

[@DPadGamer]

I suppose there is a world where that is possible. Is this that world? No clue, but good idea.

[@Barkerbg001]

hope the stomp does not get patched

[@wiredcoffee9347]

i got a weird FPS glitch where my frames got uncapped and the game went hyper fast. Other than that i only found some boring bugs like with the birds constantly face planting the ground before flying or enemy forgetting i exist when im next to them.

[@solar_ignition]

I ran into a bug on Chaos Island with the pinball minigame. For some reason, the pinball will frequently stick to the flippers when trying to hit it, go at Mach speeds when hit with the very end of the flipper, or will phase through the flipper completely if stuck ti them badly enough. I spent about half an hour on the one minigame, going as far as leaving and re-entering the cave it's located in in order to beat the minigame and progess with the story. I also found that the homing attack reticule doesn't always show up on nearby springs and I have no clue why

[@barkbuck5521]

Honestly I've been surprised at the lack of glitches I've found, compared to other Sonic games. Yeah you got your usual floor clipping in corners and occasional wonky movement because Sonic is always too fast for the engine in some spots, but overall it's been pretty well held together. I'm wondering what differences can be found and used for speenrunning between consoles, I'm playing on an XBONE but the game is optimized for Series X. PC I hear is dealing with lag issues.

[@DPadGamer]

I haven't been reading up on any reviews / discourse on the game, but my experience on PC has been lag free aside for a single instance yesterday which might have been caused by a rogue windows update breaking down the door and forcing me to reset my PC. I have heard Switch has fps issues, but thats like saying water is important to drink. That said, I agree, there have been surprisingly few game-ruining glitches. Running and combat can be wonky, but never enough to feel bad, just a bit silly.

[@fuzzyquils]

@@DPadGamer my OLED Switch seems to be handling the game okay here, I don't notice too much slowdown honestly.

[@spider-man6194]

The glitching through the ground happened to me in the second island in the exact spot. I’m pretty sure too.😅

[@UltimateHakai]

ive love using the jump glitch to skip the first island

[@Fireblazer-ly3od]

Not a glitch but I’ve always wondered what would happen if the emerald ufo on Ares steals your chaos emerald and then you just .. run away. Like would you just not have a chaos emerald or what

[@nalafelle]

I read that you'll later get an objective to reclaim that emerald, and the enemy gets marked on you map.

[@raiu_fp5194]

This guy is such a legend that he’s already doing a Frontiers jump less video

[@yamaspajamaz7718]

now sonic may be a laggy mess with pop in glitches and kinda mid story telling but no one can deny how fun the game is

[@UserAndSale]

Sega better keep these in

[@Ace2099SFM]

I have encountered one glitch and one exploit before I knew about these Glitch:I boosted into a side of a mountain and was able to do air trick infinitely (I'll uploaded this clip later) Exploit:if you homing attack but cancel it with a boost it will make you go faster in that Direction (idk if it 2D only I didn't test it in 3D yet)

[@deslardesslok]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! 5:03p.m. 11/24/2022

[@ActuallyAFungus]

On Ares, there's a corner of rectangular stones in the ground, and if you boost into it and hold boost, it'll trigger the boost effect continuously. I don't remember where it is or if there are other similar locations that enable this.

[@weighedgoogcat4499]

There are, I have somehow gotten ♾️ boost on a few occasions by accident! No idea how it happens.

[@ActuallyAFungus]

@@weighedgoogcat4499 That's not what I was talking about though, sounds like you were using the cyloop to activate temporary infinite boosting.

[@weighedgoogcat4499]

@@ActuallyAFungus What do you mean by a continous boost effect then?

[@ActuallyAFungus]

​@@weighedgoogcat4499 I tried showing you, but the link got taken down. I mean the visual effect for boosting gets triggered rapidly over and over while Sonic stands in the corner. All you have to do is hold boost on some corner structures. One area is by Hermit Koco on Ares.

[@weighedgoogcat4499]

@@ActuallyAFungus Ok, I might try that. It's funny how the game breaking glitches basically just improve the gameplay by providing players with insane movement options.

[@thodds68]

the stomp glitch reminds me of mario sunshines rocket storage

[@wartbanneraxe8231]

Boost without depleting the meter. Rapidly tap the boost button.

[@JACG_YT]

you know at 0:29 and you get stuck in a gravity beam and steal the emerald and chase it down, that also refers from sonic unleashed when eggman steals the emeralds in the beggining before the werehog tf

[@tm7sk434]

I legitimately had a add at the start of sonic frontiers and thought it was the video

[@gavinamontes]

IT ACTUALLY WORKED I WASN'T EXPECTING FOR IT TO WORK THOUGH

[@sonic4prez740]

This is actually the first ever Episode that I don’t wanna watch because of spoilers and god damn it KZbin is not safe for me because of sonic frontiers spoilers I’ll come back to watch it when I get it Dpad😊😢

[@PhoenixFirewastaken]

I found the parry float glitch by mistake and went to see if anyone else found it

[@enderwolff90]

There’s skips for the bosses for giganto and wyvern, but I haven’t found anything for the knight.

[@holmat1]

3:04 now tell me, does that island remind you of something

[@bentley.679]

Oh

[@lonelyonionagain.]

Uh

[@TheOneAndOnlyJanitor.]

One time I parried an enemy and send me on the bottom of the map by no reason

[@siramaytheshowgundragon]

Awe yeah fun glitches the best kind

[@fandomlover6778]

I have a glitch where my super boost is stuck even at 0

[@introvertednerd0252]

I dont think the parry button and being ramdomly in the air is a glitch. But if its taken off anyway in the update i will be upset xD (Actually im upset the update is coming anyway lol)

[@cookiesthedonkey2223]

Does this game have multile game saves so if i wanna start a new game for a play through it would save my old?

[@DPadGamer]

Yeah it has one Autosave that updates quite often, and three manual saves. If you save onto one of the manual saves and don't touch it, then yeah you should be fine with a new playthrough. Also if you're on PC, you can navigate to the save file location and make a copy of your .sav file for extra security.

[@cookiesthedonkey2223]

@@DPadGamer So if i click new game my old one will be safe?

[@Jevil-vf3hy]

One glitch that surely isnt fun at all I hit one of the robots in the desert area right as their shield went up Then the game crashed

Sonic can't talk in-game in sonic frontier no cutscenes?????????
