Sonic Generations Modern M-speed & D-speed Tutorial

By request, here is my M-speed/D-speed tutorial! I know it's taken a while to release this, but I've had to learn a lot about these exploits before making a full tutorial about it, so thanks for your patience^^
Special thanks to GregiQc, Millernusgaming, and Paraxade0 for their helpful tutorial references!
Feel free to check me out on Twitter: / bluebroski

[@SonicTeamHero]

M-speed and D-speed can be done on console and PC versions of Sonic Generations, and it's still a working glitch. *Note that this exploit is much more demanding on PC and often requires up-right or up-left tilts for M-speed*

SonicTeamHero Does this trick work in the 3DS version of Sonic Generations?

[@SonicTeamHero]

These glitches are exclusive to the console and pc versions of Generations

3:14 ramp: am I a joke to you???

[@tomaszgrzyb1110]

Yep

[@sillybritishbomb]

​@@ShawntezI believe that is actually what the game calls them

[@romanemul1]

just little sidenote/fact. there is difference between superspeed and d-speed/m-speed. Superspeed is pulled off if you push the stick fully up in 2d while slowly searching for that slow movement sweetspot. M/d-speed is pulled off in 2D/3D by slightly tilting the stick into that slow movement sweetspot.Superspeed = full tilt. D/M-speed = slight tilt.

[@Agent-517]

Dude the editing is done SO WELL. easy to follow the tutorial, too

[@SonicTeamHero]

Thank you!

[@Shxnon]

Wow!! :0 this tutorial is really well-done! I loved the editions it's like a tutorial that is actually on the game!! These bug are sure hard to nail, I'm still trying on Sonic Unleahsed

[@SonicTeamHero]

Thank you!

[@Shxnon]

SonicTeamHero No problem!! Keep the great work-! Just asking, do you know how to make the bug work for Unleashed?

[@SonicTeamHero]

Everything here works the same but there's a larger margin of error for the analog positions, so it's easier to do in Unleashed

[@RayNheartZ.]

I've tried in Unleashed. I got only like 20 feet in Sonic's world. I suck. BUT I will practise!

[@Abigdummy4life]

Not to mention at least Unleashed has far less invisible walls to forcibly snap Sonic back in place of the path. The levels also load faster unlike in Unleashed as well (Green Hill and City Escape are the guiltiest examples of these invisible wall and level loading issues).

[@Megapples]

This tutorial is super well done and it helped me understand better the mechanics of Sonic Generations. But holy sh*t I can't perform the M-speed no matter how many times I try. I feel like I'm doing something wrong but I might just be bad.

[@SonicTeamHero]

M-speed requires a lotta precision and only certain tilts such as up-right M-speed work in some locations, especially on PC. The Shadow Rival Boss has open runways to launch and experiment with M-speed so that may be a good place to practice

[@somerandomguyintheinternet]

Thanks A+start didn't explain it enough for me

[@chilling5858]

m speed isnt that hard to do when you perform it the first few times. you just hold the stick just when sonic is walking or starts jogging very slowly

[@SoniaSpectrum]

PC is a whole different idea

My God, This is A Masterpiece of a video! Incredible Editing! I Can do M-Speed in Sonic Unleashed, but for some reason is worse to do in Generations. Do you have any tip? Or a place to do training?

[@SonicTeamHero]

M-speed in Generations does indeed demand more precision than in Unleashed, and only tilts like up-right M-speed work in certain areas. Stages with long runways like the Shadow rival boss stage are good places to practice getting a feel for M-speed control, hope that helps

[@mig12]

[@gilllill9659]

Is there any tips you would suggest to make m speed and d speed easier?

[@GolyHawHaw]

Thanks for the video. I tried this myself but sadly don't have the motor skills to do this consistently. Maybe with practice I could. Do you happen to remember what the song you used in the first portion of the video?(2D SuperSpeed)

[@SonicTeamHero]

That soundtrack is the first Tornado Defense theme from Sonic Unleashed. And good luck, hope some practice will pay off

[@SonNguyen-cj6jv]

the air d speed has another name is called HYPER BOOST. and is funny how like nobody knows hyper boost was the first speed glitch that have been found in sonic generation and nobody didnt even realise that .

Very well edited!

[@SonicTeamHero]

Hey thanks!

[@MicklePickle]

OMG imagine with Overpowered Sonic, SUPER SPEEEEEDS!

[@lennyman9059]

I still cannot do this ;-; I triggered d and m speed once but just for a second Then everything slowed down >_>

[@Wolfie_-xz7hs]

Keep practising my guy, this is hard.

[@SuperSonicfan9595]

One thing you forgot, for restricted 3d sections it HAS TO BE an up+sideways tilt (like up+right) otherwise it won't trigger

[@zkaine7083]

Are we suppose to make him move as slow as he can go or in between? It seems to work randomly on both for me or something.

[@SonicTeamHero]

From my experience, the slower you can get him to move, the easier it is to trigger m-speed/d-speed. The glitch can be inconsistent in some areas though, but Shadow's boss fight is one of the best places to practice

[@SonicAR-SonicLegend]

My controller plays up on Sonic Generations PC so I'm not sure if it will work but ill give it a shot as I've done M-Speed and D-Speed on Sonic Unleashed before. Hey why not make a tips and tricks video for Sonic Unleashed for speed running Werehog stages? Just an idea lol.

[@maykr1612]

how do you build up enough speed to activate it once in air? i know gizmos sometimes can but i never can maintain the speed even while sliding and the like great video btw big blue!💙

[@SonicTeamHero]

Landing an air boost before jumping is one of the best ways to build speed on demand, holding the stick in M/D-speed position is the only way to accelerate while airborne so you’ll wanna build as much momentum as you can beforehand. Thanks btw^^

[@animootionsdoesstuff8191]

Thanks for the tutorial man but strangely i found m-speed /d-speed easier in unleashed... Any way can you do a qss tutorial?

[@SonicTeamHero]

Glad I could help, and yeah Unleashed M/D-speed is a lot easier than Generations. QSS is pretty simple but I'll probably make a tutorial at some point since I keep getting asked to :P

[@animootionsdoesstuff8191]

SonicTeamHero Thanks man also I just found out that unleashed has a larger margin of error and that's why it's so easy.

[@tinabeevor1802]

this video is amazing

[@Yuumieh]

M-speed and D-Speed ​​for me, I don't need to control the joystick, because I give Sonic a slight lift because my joystick locks up, so the m-speed is easy, and i using the arrows to get around

[@SonicTeamHero]

Well that's one way to do it, though it's a lot harder to switch between different M-speed or D-speed tilts. Still a nice way to test out M/D-speed movement all the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@oknerd7431]

hey uh this might be a stupid que but can u like hold the stick to the max on the radius after m and d is done correctly or do u have to hold that precision

[@SonicTeamHero]

To maintain m-speed and d-speed, the L-stick must be held in the same position. M-speed direction can alternate, but pushing the L-stick any further will not trigger it.

[@AiSpongebobSings]

Btw m speed and d speed work in sonic unleashed as well

[@SaturnSZN]

Omg! He was so fast that he skipped the loading trigger XD 1:57

This will be useful for sonic shadow generations

[@kobiokoro8689]

hey i'm having troble with the tilt part I just can't keep sonic walkingnhe just runs

[@Omla33]

If your still monitoring the comments, is it possible/practical to do this with a keyboard? I don't have a pc controller/xbox controller to use, so I'm planning to speedrun with a keyboard. Any tips? BTW, very nice video, I love your guides!

[@SonicTeamHero]

The inputs for m-speed and d-speed are pressure-sensitive so you will need a controller for this. For the pc version I use an xbox controller with a wireless receiver, it's nothing too pricey. Good luck!

[@Omla33]

Ah ok, thanks for the info!

[@SVUTIYT]

I cant do it idk why, im moving the stick until Sonic starts walking and then boost and jump

[@Abigdummy4life]

Welp....honestly, I have no idea why this feature returned from Unleashed in an obviously-overlooked manner. And it's a game that unlike Unleashed, Generations' level design doesn't fully take advantage of such speed. Legit the levels fail to load with a ton of invisible walls snapping you back in place of a predetermined railroad. The skins in Unleashed with this bug have looked better in comparison. Goes to show how more railroaded the levels started to get since Colors.

[@mlpfimguy]

Finally it's about as fast as unleashed

[@soralese]

I’m barley able to pull it off but it’s slower than what I’m seeing in this video any tips?

[@SonicTeamHero]

Make sure you have a fast running start, as triggering M/D-speed relies on using the correct analog stick tilt, and having enough initial speed

[@soralese]

SonicTeamHero what about the input itself are here any tips on how to get that precision on the input?

[@select9105]

i cant do this :(... but great job ;)

[@omdyrx]

Its to precise :(

[@Truescourge200]

Nice video man!!!

[@charmyzard]

Alright, watched this a couple times and I still don't get if you boost or jump first.

[@SonicTeamHero]

For M-speed and D-speed you boost first to launch the jump, whereas with Air D-speed you’d jump then air boost to launch while airborne

[@wolfik_gaming6452]

I know its an Old video but you know if its possible on xbox one s ?

[@ACKSonic6261]

Amazing tutorial i really do love it, im practicing this for a moment but i got some questions does m-speed works at it's best when im tilting just a little the joy-stick and having sonic running slowly enought than boost and keep jump ? Because i have been trying that and it seen to almost work so i just wanted to know if i was on the right path and if there something im missing ? Also once i started to boost should i keep my stick tilted or should i push it to the edge ?

[@SonicTeamHero]

For the best results, keep the stick held in place the entire time. You can boost to build up enough speed to launch M-speed, then continue jumping to main M-speed momentum. Nudging the stick up-right may also work in areas where straightforward M-speed isn’t as effective

[@ACKSonic6261]

@@SonicTeamHero Thanks, i manage to do it, it took me sometime but it finally worked, tilting the stick and held it make it works, i did it multiples times for M-speed as well as D-speed, triggering M-speed is easier and now i have to master it, but is it also the same for running and triggering M-speed as well like for exemple if i want to try it to speedrun shadow and since im already running at the begining should i just tilt and held the stick or stop completely and run slowly like i did before ? Anyways thanks for the tutorial !!!

[@rickalbuquerque595]

Soo that's how you're on top of the ranks in time attack

[@CosmicalMatter]

I play Sonic Generations with PlayStation 3. I pulled the left stick a little, but it got faster and my M-speed didn't work.

[@lazy7279]

I couldn't wait to do these glitches, and then i realized that i am too dumb to connect a controller

[@sheyown6495]

Do you think m-speed will be fully patched out of sonic x shadow generations? I imagine they would tweak the hedgehog engine again.

[@SonicTeamHero]

Doesn’t seem like the base game has been changed that much so it’ll probably still work, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s patched out

[@apollyon8416]

For D-speed do you have to slightly hold the analog stick up as well? I know you have to slightly hold it for left/right but I'm not sure about up. Edit: Does a lower frame rate have anything to do with how much speed you pick up? I was trying on my PC running at 60fps and never got it as fast as the example at 0:25 but when I tried on 360 at 30fps I got a lot of speed

[@SonicTeamHero]

Just tilt the L-stick left or right. You don't need to tilt it up or down unless the camera is angled forward or backward. The rate at which Sonic accelerates is often inconsistent, but it tends to be more lenient on console since the Xbox/PlayStation versions are less stable than the PC version
