Was M Speed or D speed not allowed?

[@anthonywilburn2242]

M speed is in this game in my brain press analog stick on your console slowly then boost then jump and that’s it

[@CriticalCyd]

It is now nearly 2 weeks later and only now has Talon finally told me that I misheard Edobean and she specifically asked us to sing Happy Birthday rather than shout it at the end of the run. Talon, being visibly panicked and unprepared to sing, noticed that I misheard and shouted along with me to get out of singing. This is absolutely hilarious to me and I'm definitely not posting this just to take Talon down with me >:^)

[@villainvirus]

amazing commentary all around this run!! they managed to hit the perfect balance between technical explanations and just having fun, and it's super clear how much the couch & host care about this game. absolutely stoked to se another thebluemania run this year and here's to many more 🥂

[@CriticalCyd]

Thank you :) we're very happy with how it turned out and Edobean was the perfect host for this

[@ssj2gohan92]

Shotout to the host Edobean it's been a while that the host is quite energetic to hear during GDQ

[@UltimaAzN]

She was very energetic! I loved her small comments about the world of Sonic Gen in addition to the couch's more technical explanations

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

I needed a reason to replay Generations. Not that I'll do quite that good, but it's a fun game. Seriously, that whole run was sick!

[@InOtterSpace]

After finishing Sonic Unleashed, I have a new found respect for people speedrunning Sonic games. Awesome Speedrun!

[@alejjtheninja5803]

32:55 Props to Armadillo, that one really got me. First time watching a 3D Sonic speedrunner, really good stuff.

[@natelinhart114]

This was the Sonic game I always wanted to play but never have... Great run! Looks like such a fun game!

[@Dummigame]

Bcuz it is

[@General_C]

It's on Steam and gets super cheap when it's on sale, may as well wishlist it if you never got it

[@lastthursday1416]

21:40 My favorite thing about this level is the truck getting progressively more ridiculous as the chase goes on. What a fun way to remix!

[@levzurcher8902]

Hey, I love this run! (Also wanted to say how amazing it was at 35:07 when the trick finish synced up with the music.)

That truck still makes me laugh every time. They really turned up the power for this remix lmao

[@TraverseDRocket2024]

This is essentially lore-accurate Sonic, and I’m here for it

[@anemiate]

Usually I watch these to see how quick they can break a terrible game, but this one I'm so invested in just going as fast as possible. No wonder people think Generations is the saving grace of 3D Sonic!

Cant wait for the speedrun of Sonic X Shadow gens

[@emred4653]

came to see the reference but it was pretty fun to watch overall

[@EdgyMiku]

Amazing run!

[@rita1525]

So the console/pc version of Generation's Time Eater only has 4 hits? In the 3ds version, he has double that and you have to deal with awkward motion controls for every other hit. Why is your version so much easier?

[@NamekianG]

Because DIMPS didn't make the console version of Generations

[@koneF0]

Why inst this considered a world record? when according to a google search the world record is 56:21, and this was done in 56:03

A better sonic movie than the sonic movie right here

[@stevekrueger5670]

I actually had my donation read aloud at 44:00

[@Light-Rock97]

When this game came out I though it was too short, with not a lot of levels and bosses. I returned to it time and again though the years, and I reinstalled it again this year and now I can say I've come around, it's a plenty good length, it's built for speedrunning, which should have been obvious to me, but alas, I get it now. Trying to get all the red rings, S ranks and challenges is a lot of fun (specially when you enable the homing attack on Classic Sonic). I don't do glitches like going out of bounds and skipping certain triggers though, I like to see the different routes that were designed.

[@Tailsfan5338]

Now sonic generations is one of my personal favorite sonic games of all time even though I haven’t played it in a very long time. And I’m excited to play it again. Heck sonic X shadow generations comes out autumn 2024 so it’ll be the perfect time for me to come back to it.

[@wolfenfield5229]

Is this "Boss" at 33:00 inspired by Biolante from Godzilla?

[@Beninator174]

20:13 If you jump off the left jump pad and continue to hold left on the controls then you hit the power line and it skips part of the snowboarding segment

Sonic Generations is the best Sonic game because, by rule, all Sonic games only have one good level, and Sonic Generations is a game made up of all those good levels. Hence, it is the best.

[@thejedisonic67]

I heard people call it the Dreamcast era (still counting Heroes), and I heard people call it the Adventure Era, but not really the Gamecube era

[@NamekianG]

That's probably because the GameCube never got any exclusives. Adventure 1 and 2 were exclusive the Dreamcast until they made the enhanced ports to put on GameCube. Not sure why Heroes is included in "Dreamcast era" which is why i typically go with "Adventure era" since Heroes follows the same storyline and uses the same engine and such.

[@allaltitudeproductions454]

watching this made me sad. its a good speedrun, but it reminded me of all the times that sonic was great. and also bad. and now look at the blue blur. a complete joke because of sega and their developer team for this character

[@NamekianG]

The fanbase isnt helping. SEGA's setting him in the hole that the fans dug. Take Unleashed for example. It was not received well when it first came out. Now it's a fan favorite. What changed? Absolutely nothing. The Sonic fanbase is so fickle that SEGA doesn't know how to make a good game anymore. They really should stop listening to us and just make their games. When they did that we got games like the classics and the Adventures...

[@popopop984]

@@NamekianG No, that’s just them being bad. Unleashed was always bad, like the werehog stages only made you mad, and were the opposite of what Sonic is supposed to be. Nobody came for a beat them up. People are just biased for the daytime stages so they try to ignore the nighttime. The sonic game developers just don’t know how to develop games properly on average. Lost World, Colours, Generations, were all good games, but they lost their momentum with Forces. I still don’t know why people hated on Lost World though
