Sonic: Hellfire Saga (SHC 2023) - Speedrun (Maniac)

A speedrun or fast walkthough of Hellfire Saga from Sonic Hacking Contest 2023. And Happy Halloween, everyone!
✩ Description ✩
Hellfire Saga is a hack of Sonic 3 & Knuckles that is a cross-over between Castlevania, Ghosts 'n Goblins and Sonic game series, focused on boss fights (but not forgetting fast-paced platforming either!) and providing a unique story and aesthetic not seen in other hacks of the Sonic games.
The game has received a monstrous amount of polish and new content, and is now completely playable from start to a finish.
Overall features:
▶ 10 acts of fast-paced platforming and hard-as-nails fights across 4 zones;
▶ 15 mini-bosses to fight, 3 major bosses to really sink your teeth into, and one final boss that really is something special;
▶ A soundtrack of remixes and original songs that pushes the console to its absolute limits, available in the Sound Test as well;
▶ Four difficulty modes, including Normal, Hard, Assist (if you're struggling), and Maniac (if you are truly insane);
▶ The mode that disables flashing effects, if you need that.
▶ The game has received a lot of tweaks and polish.
▶ The final boss now has a new music track for the second phase.
⏱ Timecodes:
▶ 0:00 - The Beginning
▶ 0:22 - Forest of Decay
▶ 8:07 - Sin City
▶ 19:05 - Malicious Glance

[@aerodynamo4874]

Great video, bit of audio delay. What did you use for the credits replacement theme?

[@ShiroParadox99]

Ah, it from Ace Attorney Investigations 2, Credits theme. Hm, delay? I played on BizHawk, if what.

[@HoodiewearingOpp]

Quick question: I saw that there was an “Ex Mode” in the main menu, what’s “Ex Mode”?

[@ShiroParadox99]

I don't know it yet. Later I'll try that.

[@garagegmmecanique2942]

Next time YOU can do EX Mode:)

[@jed2010]

Can you do Sonic Mania speedrun with Ray next?

[@ShiroParadox99]

In November 2023

[@AndrewBlechinger]

Is this a standalone hack or do I need to patch a ROM to play this? And what kinds of assistance does the Assist mode offer?
