[TAS] [Obsoleted] [CamHack] Genesis Sonic 3 & Knuckles "Sonic" by kaan55 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
This movie has been obsoleted by tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2020-08-17
In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic and Tails continue to thwart the plans of Dr. Robotnik, this time on the Floating Island that is guarded by Knuckles the Echidna.
This run is longer than the predecessor movie ( tasvideos.org/... ) in movie length due to using Sonic only, but has a shorter in-game time.
We also have similar movies in Sonic the Hedgehog ( tasvideos.org/... ), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ( tasvideos.org/... ) and Sonic the Hedgehog CD ( tasvideos.org/... ).
And also we have runs with Amy ( tasvideos.org/... ), Knuckles ( tasvideos.org/... ), Tails ( tasvideos.org/... ), Knuckles ring attack ( tasvideos.org/... ), Sonic 100% ( tasvideos.org/... ), Knuckles 100% ( tasvideos.org/... ), Competition mode ( tasvideos.org/... ) and Sonic and Tails on NewGame+ ( tasvideos.org/... ).
--------
The downloadable encodes in the second set use a camhack, which attempts to always keep Sonic onscreen and puts HD sprites on top of the background to make the TAS look even better.

I love the irony that you took one of the most notoriously long zones and simply removed one of its acts from existence

[@Kazuo1G]

They did that TWICE, as of the point (the beginning of Launch Base) I am watching in the video. (I was going to ask if it was Hydrocity Zone first.)

[@dmtm]

Ice cap zones. :')

[@ShiningProdigyTAS]

Ice cap, and marble garden he skipped act 2 with TAS glitch :D

[@loganthomas6242]

@Milan Jamari Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@Atlink]

Marble Garden Act 2? Yeah, nah.

[@AstroTibs]

I have never seen a video game become physically exhausted before

[@stormcutter59]

This poor game has been getting destroyed for so many years by the speedrunning community. This TAS is so much different from the ones I used to see ten years ago and it looks like they're breaking the game harder than I've ever seen it before. I'm amazed this whole video went on and on without a single crash.

[@Tinker4bell]

I'm telling y'all, this is how Sonic canonically goes through his games (Without the glitches, and with Tails, except Sonic 1 8-bit and 16-bit and Sonic CD). I'm also imagining how from the characters in-universe perspective how this would work. Imagine the look of horror Eggman would give you from you telling him Sonic is going to arrive inside the Death Egg in just 32 minutes.

[@lowhp_comic]

This implies that in Act 1 of Angel Island, Knuckles was absolutely sprinting for his fucking life after stealing the emeralds 😂

[@jackhumphries1087]

It’s implied that knuckles has a whole system of teleporters around angel island, I don’t think it would be a problem for him to get where he needs to be before sonic gets there

[@Atlink]

10:38 *snap* Sonic is now Thanosing his way to victory.

[@bullymaguire632]

LMAO IM DEAD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tajini817]

What in the world is this

[@JamTheAdo]

I see Sonic has been taking lessons from Mario in reality warping.

[@ChrispyBoiYTP]

Build up speed for 12 hours

[@gadget8637]

Technically, Mario is learning from sonic, since this game came on me before Mario 64

[@JamTheAdo]

i feel like that's both true and not because SMB1 and SMB3 wall clips exist

[@kenwalkensdeadchannelcanal2886]

@@gadget8637 sonic: how in the heck do you do that blj thing again? Mario: it's easy, but first, we need to talk about *parallel universes*

[@Knuckles5140]

I used to watch these all the times when I was younger, not knowing what at TAS was, and tried doing this shit on Sonic Mega Collection Plus. Good times...

[@thegamerj.e.t]

6:40 That timing on the idle, it looks like Sonic is signaling to the viewer, "Hey watch this." Even at 18:03 he's like, "Tsk, this guy."

Eggman upon seeing Sonic do all this crazy stuff: "No way! I can't believe this!"

Ice Cap Zone: I am one of the longest zones in Sonic history! You will never be able to finish me in time! Sonic: Hold my beer...

[@Vibinboi]

Nah, hold my rings

[@Megakell0]

Following sonic during his various zips and warps is legitimately terrifying

[@davidthecommenter]

27:28 bruh those few frames of robotnik are priceless

I like the use of the elemental shields and it all most strategic at times when they chose to use it

Oh no, Dr. Eggman has still the Master Emerald. We are all doomed.

You've heard of QPU jumping, now introducing CAU (clipping alternate universe).

[@GamerGee]

I love the original sega version. The sounds would be so crisp and the sounds would drop out and when the music fades certain instruments would go out too. Love that.

[@tommyhamlin4611]

Eh after playing Sonic 3 AIR i can't ever play the original version ever again

[@GamerGee]

[@dmtm]

Feeling a honour to be able to help out in this videi and the sonic tas teams under the year's. 😀 In the beginning. I didn't know that the glitches was a goal to find and to be used in speedruns. I'm not a speed runner. But a trick and strat finder. So that's my contribution. To the speedrun community. ✌😀 //Regards your friend DMTM from |🇸🇪

[@lozder671]

9:10 Sonic is getting into the speedforce 9:18 Sonic has gotten in it

[@NagoTheCat]

This is how Sonic is portrayed in the comics.

[@7mamdouh748]

Put the video in 480p and sonic's run/jump animations get glitched, which makes them look better imo. Less a blur and more of a high-speed concentrated roll which I think helps in the psychological aspect of things. Yeah and there's another glitch where it's just one sprite, I love that one too

[@TheRealRebeg]

My man just said, "no" to the sandopolis ghosts 😶

[@lejohn2682]

I didn't know sonic can use chaos control! Without the emeralds!

[@CidZero]

Its satisfying seeing Sandapolis get glitched through oblivion. I hate that zone. :)

[@Winslinator]

The death egg boss fights were definitely the highlight of the run

[@khistraley1150]

I find it ironic that in a sonic game, which is all about speed, it's not possible to beat the TAS times of some castlevania games. Which are literally supposed to take hours.

[@greenknight9000]

It's because they're different games and genres...it's an unfair comparison
