Here’s a glitch (or should I say “developer oversight”) exclusive to the European GameCube version: When you start the game in PAL60 mode, the game will actually run at 20% faster speed than intended due to the PAL-optimisations (which make it so that the game runs at normal speed when in 50 Hz mode) not being disabled in PAL60 mode. Because of this, the European GameCube version is preferred for “super hard mode” speedruns, with speedrunner Lemres holding the current WR at 44m 02s. (the fastest SHM speedrun on the NTSC version, by contrast, was 50m 56s by Deku_sr)

[@SegaMegadrive]

Doesn't that apply to PS2 as well

[@DaneeBound]

@@SegaMegadrive No. In fact on PS2 Sonic Heroes doesn’t have ANY alternate display modes, as far as I'm aware: No progressive scan for the American/Japanese PS2 version and no PAL60/NTSC toggle on the European PS2 version (in fact the PAL PlayStation 2 console itself doesn’t support PAL60 in the first place, now that I think of it). Plus the PS2 version of Sonic Heroes is a pretty shitty port to begin with, so who even cares?

[@Windsguidance]

@@DaneeBound I have no idea what this all means but I can confirm however that choosing 60 is possible on a pal ps2. I get the option whenever I start the game but idk what it means tho or if this is even what you're asking in the first place lol You're really smart with this stuff! Despite veing only 22 I consider myself technologically challenged haha

[@jiggling86]

@@Windsguidance I'm 4½ years old, but I still know the difference between 50hz and 60hz gameplay on CRT monitors. Ur a n00b

[@KopperNeoman]

@Windsguidance the PS2 did in fact NOT support PAL60 or NTSC50. When you play in 60hz, you're just in NTSC mode.

[@MonkeyBscts]

3:15 this makes perfect sense. you’ve changed to the flying character and immediately crashed, Big is just assuming the position you’re supposed to when you’re crashing while flying, head between the knees and hope for the best!

This dude was most of my childhood entertainment so to randomly see him pop is a breath of fresh air

[@Groudon0199]

17:17 "It sadly doesn't serve much of a purpose outside of gaining height." Well, aside from being able to access parts of stages Team Chaotix normally can't access, but who cares about that? What do you think this is, Boundary Break?

[@zacoryal]

*Ding!*

[@stefanmarin95]

The best example I can think of is Ocean Palace. There is a section where you have to use Charmy to bloom a flower, but if you use the glitch, you can get past the invisible barrier and you can get through the turtles' section. What's interesting is that Team Chaotix has voice lines about the turtles.

[@wheel4155]

Ayyy

[@MCLefka]

Also, if you time it right you can switch to power glide. This breaks the flight glitch but once high enough it doesn't matter

[@phantomsanic3604]

@@stefanmarin95 It’s true I literally just tried this glitch a few minutes ago. What’s also interesting is that the turtles section has some search flappers, which only start appearing around BINGO Highway normally. Unlike the Search Flappers in Bingo, these ones do not summon other Egg Pawns upon spotting you. I wonder why they are placed there?

[@NanaKyoto]

Sonic Heroes is my favorite game in the Sonic franchise, and seeing all the weird and wild ways of breaking it, that's just the cherry on top.

[@Itshomski]

I love sonic heroes but sadly due to the bad controls and levels that drag on for too long it will never be my favorite even though I still love it and it’s definitely in my top ten list of sonic games

[@BlackDragon41sbm]

Same, my favorite still after all these years.

[@apurpledragon]

I'm assuming the reason the glitch at 11:23 doesn't work for Team Sonic is due to Knuckles not being as tall as the other 3. The reason on why this could be is because the 3 other teams have a tall Power character and how this glitch is triggered is by the collision for when you attack at the same time while on the ground when nobody is with you.

[@eyitsaperson]

pfp source?

[@nickelassilvandi6871]

Actually it does work on Team Sonic. Cobanermani456 played through the Super Hard difficulty of Sonic Heroes and experienced this glitch. If I'm not mistaken, it's the last part in Final Fortress where he encountered it.

[@Marx2418]

But Knuckles is a little bit taller than Sonic and Tails is shorter than both Sonic and Knuckles.

Even though people are split on Sonic Heroes a sequel would be nice taking the concept of the speed/power/flight teams but make it so you can mix and match the characters. As for the video itself it was nice seeing a few glitches I hadn't seen before.

You said it yourself in one of your videos (coincidentally, being a Sonic video, but about Sonic Forces lol): "Everything's better with glitches. Well in my opinion anyway."

As someone who's played Sonic Heroes for years, 11:42 this glitch was the most common for me. it could be game breaking if you know what to play around with. xD

Son of a Glitch was the first videos I ever remember watching on KZbin, I've always loved your content man and it's great to know you're still making these.

[@MeleeChannel]

What an absolute baller of a comeback! Love the new intro, the formula still looks great, and what a wonderful game to break open too! Hope you've been taking well care of yourself and your family during the downtime :) I unfortunately don't exactly have any suggestions per-say, but I'm plenty excited to see whatever else you'll be taking a look at! How about Crash or Spyro on PS1?

[@tonybeattie3980]

Definitely interesting for me to be watching an episode of Son of a Glitch on the day it comes out. Welcome back!

[@joaofernandes9756]

Too bad he didn't bring many games, I always saw the glitches in other TAS games.

[@AndyGilleand]

Aside from the team mechanics, this game is the closest Sonic has ever come to recreating the classic game formula in 3D.

[@Liggliluff]

Makes me wonder if there's a mod for the game to remove the team mechanic. I do know that most levels are impossible after that, so those things have to be fixed too. It would be a massive mod but a great one.

[@chrismartin2404]

Does anyone know what the intro song is

[@lpfan4491]

It really depends on what this exactly means. In many regards SA1's sonic story is much closer to matching the classics.

I've been watching the series since the first Sonic 06 episode and man, it's always been top tier content, you never fail to amuse and impress me. Doesn't matter how long it took for this video to happen, it's still gold. c: I did notice a bug in the video, at 19:43 the blur at the sides doesn't match the pace of the slowed down footage. Not that it ruins the video, I just thought it'd be useful to point out!

[@nharviala]

I remember playing this game as a child, and getting absolutely stuck on one part in the casino. I don't know if this was just a bug at the moment, but I could not smash one of the pieces of glass as Knuckles to progress, it just wouldn't break. I had to put the game down for a few weeks in frustration, and when I picked it up again, for some reason, the glass broke right away. To this day, I don't know what it was, but it was weird.

[@leonhill6902]

Love this game. My childhood.

[@SchwarzerWerwolf]

Sonic games are often glitchy, but always fun to look at

[@PhirePhlame]

You know, Team Sonic is also the only one where the Power character _isn't_ significantly larger than the other two...maybe this has something to do with them being immune to the separation bug?

[@GavenJr]

12:30 Actually the death trigger shouldn't kill you since you're going throught with the Power character but you're technically controlling the Flying character (thus, not the one going throught the death trigger)

[@muizzsiddique]

Charmy's infinite flight glitch can be done with other teams, sort of. I remember while flying (it was probably with Team Sonic) trying to activate flight again right before hitting the ground which allowed me to fly twice as high.

11:10 - You can see rings in there, further proving that the levels for the characters with easier difficulty have indeed cut offs of already existing layouts. This reminds me the whole VIP Pinball Table that can be accessed with Team Rose that has unused dialog between the characters.
