I always love how "correct" some of these sonic speedruns look like, almost as if devs intentionally pictured these up in their minds when making the games.

I love just how much mobility Sonic has in this hack. You can get running from a standstill really quick, there's moves to launch you in practically every direction and the levels let you zip across them if you know the layout. I wonder if this hack is still in development...

[@peppermanartist]

That is sone true facts right there Alzter.

[@Alienrun]

This is a finished game, yes its supposed to be only 1 level long. Also this was made by Steath over a decade ago...the main guy who programmed Sonic Mania.

3:46 SEGA if they allowed Sonic to use 100% of his speed

[@PixelBlitzBOI]

Wdym bruh, that's just his 50%

[@DarktoLight561]

Actually it’s like the smallest fraction, have you SEEN the speeds he can reach?

[@KiwiTheRetroGal]

This is him being sped down so the game is playable. He's actually running faster than the literal nuclear explosion behind him which is traveling at about 780 miles per hour, or about 1,255 kilometers per hour.

[@andresquintero8833]

If I got a nickel every time a sonic fangame/rom hack uses megaman music, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice...

4:32 this still depicts what Sonic reeeeally goes through...all the real dangers...man Sonic Boom was such an amazing hack!! It's just so ironic that it became an actual game (of course show first) many years later.

[@enigmatic-handbags]

Ah, yes, another rollbug

[@nebulazz9298]

3:46 this whole sequence is exhilarating as heck

[@duskythedergun1654]

I will go ahead and point a few things out: 1. Act 3 is basically an atomic explosion. Sonic is running from a *NUKE* you guys. 2. Sonic is running on electric floors in Act 3. Why isn't it damaging him? 3. Sonic literally got burnt multiple times by the looks of his sprite during Act 3. 4. The game itself is self-aware of its own difficulty. It simply watches a Modern Sonic blaze through their 3 levels of hell, and is possibly recording this.

[@Colinjo6VEVO]

Act 3 Is not the only one that has Electric Floors that do not Damage Sonic

[@lazykirby57]

But at the end of act 3 he looks fine

[@Duif420]

3. It’s the lighting

[@thepikachugamer]

Because the power plant is blowing up. There is no electricity

[@heliosX1000]

Max speed at zone 3: 675m/s which means... 2430km/h

[@virtual212]

A timeline where sega will actually care about story, characters, and level design and will stop making jokes and breaking the 4th wall every 30 seconds. So basically a sonic game before colors. But idk if sega would ever make something like this this is fan made after all.
