[TAS] Genesis Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by ShiningProdigy9000 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/5647M
TAS originally published on 2023-11-02
This is an official version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with Sonic & Knuckles locked on it. Here, the title character is replaced by his rival, Knuckles, who has his signature ability of gliding and climbing carried over to this version. Other than that, the levels are unchanged. If you haven't seen Sonic the Hedgehog 2 completed before, you may wish to do so before seeing what a character with a spindash and gliding can accomplish.
ShiningProdigy9000 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/S... ) saves 17.5 seconds over the previous run through various stage improvements and optimizations.

There are also alternate CamHack encodes that attempts to keep Knuckles visible on the screen as much as possible and over any sprite layers.

4:10 it was so nice of Knuckles to release all of those captive explosions.

It's nice that the TAS community is finding ways to keep making Sonic 2 shorter, but I'd really like to see a "no zips" TAS of Sonic 2 someday, like what was done with Sonic 1 a while ago

The thing i love about this, is the technology back then to make this possible adding in knuckles to the 3 games, was unheard of, and nothing else seem to have done anything else of the sorts

[@adamnadi]

Nice 🙂👍

[@SmoggyLambGG]

Is it possible to play as Sonic, Tails, or both while locked-on to Sonic & Knuckles?

[@steelcrocodile5495]

No, only Knuckles. Just play plain Sonic 2 to use Sonic and/or Tails.
