24:07 Dr. Eggman has a 300 IQ, yet cannot beat a hedgehog in a puzzle game.

[@radiantfalcongamevision1113]

i actually tend to think Tails is helping him, he of the also 300 IQ. doesn't explain Knuckles' run though

@@radiantfalcongamevision1113 Knuckles ain't dumb.

[@SquallyCoin5664]

@@sonicstar917 Knuckles is portrayed as dumb in the modern games. However in the classic games, he’s actually portrayed as smart, and he’s just naive and clueless to other stuff, not because he’s stupid but because of his complete isolation on Angel Island

[@SquallyCoin5664]

Guess you could say modern Knuckles is dumb, but not classic Knuckles.

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

1:01:48 _"That's right..."_ laughed my ass off and so did everybody else, pretty much. Such a clever way to turn a mishap, into a highlight. 😆 Worth the 17+/- seconds lost.

[@Gamesmarts194]

Daniel Renard I guess that’s what they call a “happy accident”?

[@Sephonik]

Sonic CD is my favorite, so his blunder was justified

[@rileybrewer7314]

Gotta love the couch on this run. Absolute fantastic commentary

[@zeroeleven6551]

Riley Brewer Yeah, I think I've seen curly hair guy (sorry idk his name) on some couches before and he seems real cool

[@sondimons2880]

Aw yes, I LOVE Socia Mania! You know, with Socia, Tell, and Knack?

[@sondimons2880]

Knick Knoot, it's Knack.

[@TiStardust]

KNACK 2 IS GAME OF THE YEAR! Except for SUPER MARIO BROTHERS TWOOOOO!!

[@hnickel4757]

I'm just glad that all the replies are about Knack.

[@tylerd1297]

There's one thing I know about this world: if there's a game that's mostly spent rolling in a ball, Claris will get around to running it

[@RickyG93]

Claris seems to be having a good time which is nice to see.

[@ikaikaikaika2419]

Naming it Socia Mania is actually a 200 iq move from the gdq staff and I respect it

[@ManuLotto]

I can't wait for them to upload the Socia Adventure 2 run. That was amazing

[@GrimJackal]

Great run, good commentary, positive crowd. That's what I like to see. :)

[@SuperSky712]

56:40 "Had to donate for all the *sega kids* ." That's How I found a loved Sonic the Hedgehog.

[@kikiretzorg1467]

Hi I'm the Sonic CD fan going "that's right"

[@dant.6761]

Sure do love me some Socia mania, almost as good as Socia 3 & Kernels

[@claris9956]

I still maintain that Sonic CD isn't a goo-*crush*

[@Iinneus]

That's actually what makes me happy that Sonic Mania uses so many gimmicks and ideas from Sonic CD, since there's a lot of stuff in that game that just doesn't get to shine because of its really weird level design and ideas. There are some interesting level ideas that would've been lost to CD forever if Mania didn't come around!

[@LanaLlama20]

Claris Robyn great run :)

[@elitefencer777]

Great run... even if the soundtrack alone make CD worthwhile. Which soundtrack? Pick one.

[@hudsongilbert400]

Just watched that happened... Absolutely hilarious. It's ok, I'm with you-- Sonic CD isn't that much fu-- *metallic crusher suddenly burrows from the ceiling above me* Anyway, impressive run, lot of fun to watch.

[@Aggrofool]

whats a goo crush?

[@FinleyZero]

Oh yeah, it's my favourite mascot, Socia the Herdgeherg!

[@aplanenerdandagamenerd9087]

This motivated me to bust out the game again and I had a blast

[@MarkSchenfisch]

Killer commentary, couch! And great run, Claris!

[@HeyItsAmber99]

42:09 Music was timed with the air bubble perfectly.

[@ibrahimanani5122]

Damn a new sonic game came out and i didnt even know about it and its called socia mania amazing!

[@YoshiSonic]

As the president of the Sonic CD fan club aka me, you have been cursed with that death at 1:01:41

[@XxXAceGXxX]

This looks like such an enjoyable speedrun, and this game looks insanely good! They did 2-D Socia right!

[@eoinkeane974]

After playing this game like 8 times, this is incredible

[@pattyb1472]

Claris is too damn good at this game!

[@darreldorigatti5768]

Real quick. GDQ is the coolest thing, like, ever. Having a gaming community come together for something like this is HUGE. I kinda wish the Pokémon shiny hunting community had something like this.

[@theb2rd]

Wait I've never seen that 3rd phase of the metal sonic fight. When I was playing he turned giant and started attacking me... Did they change the final phase?

[@click1774]

Yep

[@brandonlewis3379]

Man this would be a blast to be there to watch keep up the great work guys.

[@casey2979]

Ok this is super fucking impressive. If she's made any mistakes I haven't noticed.

[@Brony22]

seen a few bumps in flying battery zone but still enjoyed it

[@Hailstormful]

She did die once... Some stages went really flawlessly tho...

[@GreatistheWorld]

The commentary team sounds like they’re NAILING their jobs commentating the Olympics. The running community really shows they’re the best at GDQ

[@bageltoo]

Everybody just talking about about the typo, but honestly I’m more impressed at the commentary

[@dylanmcla]

One of the best runs of the marathon

[@claris9956]

Matthew Lindfield lol you know I've already done runs in 7 GDQs before coming out as trans, right? I'm preeeetty sure what they care about is me being good at video games and not that I'm a girl.

[@ElectronerpProductions]

oH SHIT AND CLARIS TAKES DOWN THE TRANSPHOBE!

Claris Robyn ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@claris9956]

Matthew Lindfield I mean I know you're trolling and don't actually believe anything you're saying, but come on, couldn't you go with a conspiracy theory that doesn't fall apart after 2 seconds of thought?

[@claris9956]

Matthew Lindfield lol what a bad troll

This was amazing. Haven't seen couch commentary like this in a while. Hope this is the standard for agdq 2018

[@heywhatup9657]

Never saw this game before, but damn it looks fun and goddamn did she destroy it.

Socia in Spanish is a female partner in business *more to know

[@PokerPlayerJames]

WHAT THE F*** IS A SOCIA!!!!?

[@alasanof]

She did a great run!

[@MilisCara]

she did really well i thought

[@makingnoises2327]

it's so nice to see a girl running at agdq. i know there has to be a lot of assholes in the twitch chat and here in the comments giving her shit, but this was a fantastic run, she did an amazing job.

[@Shipper08]

I really liked the stage with the gold and purple streaks. XD Way to go Claris!

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

they need to pay this dude for commentary, i actually enjoyed it

[@shingshongshamalama]

5/7 a perfect score.

[@SillyMuffinxButter]

Spike sounded like a kid making up rules for an obstacle course haha. Dope run.

[@scribble71891]

Wow I had no idea you could ride the lightning in Titanic Monarch. Don't know why that never came to mind considering what you can do in Flying Battery.

[@ElsweyrDiego]

the sound of the "stage finish pole" coming down is the same sound from when link is shrinking on a tree trunk in Zelda Minish Cap

[@Trance_Kitsune]

Oh boy *Socia* Mania!

[@wayzy6868]

in the act 2 hydrocity boss phase 2 or the boss in sonic 3 hydrocity zone i have a technique that i havent seen used in any sonic mania/sonic 3 speedruns or playthroughs so maybe i could get the patent one day but the technique is once eggman tries to spin you in the water, mash the spindash while facing right when he is about to do itand once you are off screen slowly mash the left arrow/left button and you will be hitting him alot while he tries to get you trapped in the water, I think this technique should be used more often in speedruns of sonic 3/mania.

[@leviathin19]

Socia Mania is the best gaem

[@Migaloo00]

Raiuchi gamia*

[@pgj1997]

24:08 I am SO glad they called it Puyo, and not Mean Bean Machine.

[@grandmelon4077]

pgj1997 Either way it's still correct

[@Arkouchie]

pgj1997 tbf, there are a couple legitimate differences from puyo and mean bean machine, as they pointed out. Mean bean has 5 colors while normal puyo only has 4. Mania emulates mean bean in this regard

[@SoumaMondal]

let's not forget Kirby's Avalanche

[@pencilcheck]

My first play through I actually lost to eggman I was really surprised perhaps I need more chains to get him down

[@gravuun5753]

So... Socia... Mania? Ok..

[@Black_CoreyNFin]

Holy Shit Claris is fucking NUTZ at Aonic Mania! So cool!

[@thefuturistYT]

Flying Battery Is hell for a child/me. Took TEN days to clear.

[@fastmax6292]

The sonic 1 boss in metallic madness is much easier in mania since the pistons vibrate before extending

[@Inuyasha463]

Really wanted to watch this during the marathon but unfortunately I had work. Really cool run. After that I think I'm going to go replay Sonic Mania again.

[@MultiDante333]

I love me some Socia Mania

[@ukokira9852]

Socia Manic’s my favorite Socia game

[@SkydreamPony]

Amazing run! You go girl!

[@SquallyCoin5664]

Lava Reef 2 be like: Quartz Reef/Lava Quadrant

[@blackoozaru1916]

i actually liked this one more than the old ones because its not so much focused on glitchs, i mean there is a couple of them but the older games like sonic 3, man that is pure crazyness

[@pigeonssuck6943]

That "Xaoh" (can't really replicate it using text) noise from the electric double jump sounds like the robo guys in Abe's Oddyssey. Or at least the remastered one, can't really say much for the original due to not having played it, sadly.

[@cherrydragon3120]

i do not remember metal sonic boss like this… where is the bossfight where metal sonic receives the Emerald and turns into this giant version? did i miss something?

[@stardustsdd]

When they released Sonic Mania Plus, they permanently changed the Metal Sonic Boss.

[@thefuturistYT]

Good thing a certain glitch did not happen in the battery. If you slow down in 31:52 to 31:54 you will go backward and glitch through a bar.

[@JayWerner]

So impressive, I love it.

[@DontMockMySmock]

This run was fuckin' fire, hell yeah

[@williamknight60]

Fair enough to the guy in the middle explaining everything clearly, but I wish he quietened down a little

[@LoadedEmu97]

William Knight Yeah, Spike can be really loud, but his commentary is really clear and consistent, and he has a great sense of humour. He should couch for more runs with awkward or quiet Speedrunners so I can actually understand what's happening.

[@valr2guy]

Wrench Spike should do a full time commentary job

[@iregretsomeofmypreviouscom3284]

Where are the Socia Adventure 2 and Socia Advance 3 speedruns at? I can find them.

[@diamondx224_6]

Awesome run I love it

[@tensevo]

Some really elegant platforming right here!

[@er5624]

This run is awesome!!

[@goodmachines7743]

Social Mania Let this be memez

[@cyanide_crow7970]

I have a love-hate relationship with Mania. When I played Generations and Forces he was much harder to control than Modern Sonic. But this was still an awesome run! Edit: Did I fail to mention that in Generations the Classic levels took almost twice as long as the Modern ones for me?

[@GoldenKitSylveon]

SOCIA MANIA!!!

[@epiczacko]

Where does it say that? Did they already correct the typo?

[@VGCeilingFan]

1:01:38 “...no Sonic CD fans out there...” 1:01:48 You were saying?

[@er5624]

Well it's about time.

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

Haha, do they realize a quick title change is necessary?

[@Pleepstar]

Not her saying she’s not that good and then absolutely killing it on chem plant zone 2. Haha love Claris, she’s such a good runner
