✩ Game Description ✩
Sonic Mania is a platform game published by Sega for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows in August 2017. Produced in commemoration of the Sonic the Hedgehog series' 25th anniversary, Sonic Mania pays homage to the original Sega Genesis Sonic games, featuring speedy side-scrolling gameplay. It takes place over 12 levels, including several redesigned from past games. The story follows Sonic, Tails and Knuckles as they venture to defeat their nemesis Doctor Eggman and his robotic henchmen, the Hard-Boiled Heavies.
✩ Plot ✩
After the events of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic and Tails detect a powerful energy reading on Angel Island and board their biplane, the Tornado, to investigate. However, Dr. Eggman sends an elite group of EggRobos to reach the signal before Sonic and Tails. The EggRobos excavate the source of the signal, a magical gemstone called the Phantom Ruby, just as Sonic and Tails arrive. The EggRobos gain new powers from the ruby, becoming the Hard Boiled Heavies, and send Sonic, Tails, and the island's guardian, Knuckles, through zones the trio have previously visited where they pursue Eggman to prevent him from using the ruby's power for evil, clashing with him and the Heavies along the way.
Sonic and his allies discover that Eggman has used the Phantom Ruby's power to retake control of Little Planet from Sonic CD. They board Eggman's robotic fortress, defeat him and the Heavies, and escape just as it explodes. If all 7 Chaos Emeralds are collected while playing as Sonic, the Phantom Ruby transports him and Eggman to another dimension. There, the Heavy King (the Hard Boiled Heavies' leader) betrays Eggman and takes the ruby, imbuing himself with power; Eggman attacks the Heavy to try to reclaim it. Sonic uses the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic and fights Eggman and the Heavy King separately to keep the ruby out of their possession. After the battle, the Phantom Ruby reacts with the Emeralds, negating Sonic's super state and creating a wormhole that engulfs itself and Sonic as Little Planet vanishes.

5 years ago, Sonic Mania came out and there's already a TAS for this game. Man time flies.

[@H3LLSP4WN87]

Bro it’s hard to believe this game came out 5 years ago time flies so fast

[@The_Deep_Blue]

wait what the fuck sonic manias 5 years old?

[@mazlinanordin3449]

Bro sonic mania is four years old Like your mom

[@IcyImpale]

@@mazlinanordin3449 hahaha😐

[@akar1990]

Holy its been 5 years it feels like it was 2

[@HyperComet369]

And this is why its so important to have good physics in sonic games, or else he literally loses the magic he had that separated him from just being a mario clone. This looks so fun and frantic. And intricate level design with unique set pieces too that play together with his physics.

[@KananIsMyBae]

I'm so glad we all found a way to TAS Mania. Especially you. You deserved Mania TASing for all your hard work, and entertainment for the past years. This is truly a 100K special. You're a Legend, Shiro. Keep on going!

[@ivanfrancoextraschannel2005]

It is posible to TAS Sonic Origins also?

I love Sonic Mania, I still play the game to this day, and this video does put a smile on my face

[@ivanwild8370]

Hey, im confused. Whenever I spin dash or drop dash sonics circle isn’t fully blue, you can still see his eyes, and he moves a lot slower, do u maybe know why?

[@pgpsucksatrivalsxd7229]

I agree, I've been playing this game even today, and I'm looking to get all emeralds with all 4 characters in separate save files, I've done sonic & tails and knuckles alone.

[@TechSY730]

Amazing! Slope jumps and loop de loop jumps done so precisely for optimal speed are always a wonder to behold. And thank you _very much_ for a "no major glitches" run. Don't get me wrong, I love glitchy runs too. But sometimes I just want to see inhumanly precise platforming and gameplay.

[@gamingfox6448]

18:06 I noticed that sonic turns into tails for a split second during the transition from Press Garden act 1 to act 2. Anyway great speedrun!

[@MrEvilbyte]

26:13 Look closely, and you can see Tails respawning 3 times within 3 seconds xD

[@pacifistichuman82649]

YOU’RE RIGHT HAHA

[@jahzielkalelbojdo1972]

This guy just speedrunned the whole emeralds and how did he do it so fast,Now that is some professional gamer

[@looeyg]

He used tools

[@ovatails]

cuz its a tas

[@crabrave1376]

Tas means tool assisted speedrun

[@adrianwoods2752]

The fact that this run is only about a minute slower than the world record RTA speedrun is saying something, considering this run is glitchless; skips such as SSZ 2 boss phase 1 skip, TMZ 2 skip, or FBZ 2 boss skip to name a few go unused.

[@_eesports]

Actually no. There is a glitch being used. If you run to a certain direction, and then quickly go the opposite way, and then going to to the opposite, you will gain speed and be faster than you should be. They probably patched it by now. I think that this is the RSDK V5 Decompile of Sonic Mania.

[@aerodynamo4874]

@@_eesports this is. In no other version of Mania is there a name on the menu screen that says "IntegerGeorge802"

[@pgpsucksatrivalsxd7229]

​@@aerodynamo4874because this is the account youre playing on if youre playing the game in the epic games launcher.

[@ZSquaredPlusC]

Yes yes yes yes YES!!!!! I am SO FUCKING HAPPY this finally exists! Ever since I played mania for the first time I wondered what a tas of the game would look like and I finally get to see it!!! One particular detail I liked was that even though there was a bug in titanic monarch act 2 to clip into the wall and go straight to the boss YOU DIDN'T DO THAT AND YOU ACTUALLY LET US SEE THE LEVEL IN IT'S ENTIRETY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT!!! My only real gripe with this run is that the super sonic music cuts out the rest of the music but that's not necessarily on you, that's just the cards you were dealt when trying to craft the ideal run. I'd love to see a sonic alone no emeralds run, but given how long this must have taken to make asking that might be a bit rich of me. In any case, thank you so much for making this.

[@neonthehedgehog1763]

THIS MANS A SONIC TAS LEGEND

It's so cool that Sonic Mania TASes are an actual possibility now

[@GMKGoji01]

Shiro, my man! I never thought I'd see the day you would TAS Sonic Mania!

[@silveriasilva5867]

Quantum physic: "there's nothing faster than light" Shiro: "hold me the hedgehog" (proceed to create a TAS sonic mania)

[@looeyg]

Mach is faster than the speed of light and sound so when sonic runs a Mach 1 2 & 3 he proves quantum physics wrong

[@SmashCrafter321]

In Mirage Saloon act 2, isn't there a trick you can do with partner tails, where he goes down without sonic, does a spindash jump, and hits the capsule? I believe theres also a trick during the transition of Oil Ocean act 1 to act 2, where positioning your character in just the right spot, has them go down, without triggering the switch and ring drain mechanic.
