[TAS] Genesis Sonic 3 & Knuckles "Sonic, 100%" by ShiningProdigy9000, Takz15x & kaan55 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/5453M
TAS originally published on 2023-07-28
In this run of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic has decided that getting all the emeralds is the only way to go. And not just the Chaos Emeralds, but also the Super Emeralds. With those, Sonic can go from Super Sonic to Hyper Sonic, a super form so fast and powerful, it flashes the screen constantly. Tails can also tag along to help in this endeavor, but he's not used in this run.
ShiningProdigy9000 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/S... ), Takz15x ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/T... ), and kaan55 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/k... ) all collaborate to improve on the previous run by six minutes. A lot of this is done by using strategies and glitches that the previous run forwent to better show off the game, along with using all new strategies. For further details, you can read the authors' notes ( tasvideos.org/8453S ).
We also have a regular run with Sonic ( tasvideos.org/4266M ), one with Amy ( tasvideos.org/2752M ) through a romhack, one with Knuckles ( tasvideos.org/3425M ), one with just Tails ( tasvideos.org/2468M ), a ring attack run with Knuckles ( tasvideos.org/2593M ), a 100% run with knuckles ( tasvideos.org/3521M ), a run in Competition mode ( tasvideos.org/1713M ) and a run with Sonic and Tails on NewGame+ ( tasvideos.org/2744M ).
--------
Warning: The usage of Hyper Sonic in this run will have moments of flashing lights that are not suitable for those that are photosensitive.
There are alternate encodes that hack the camera in the game so that it stays on Sonic as much as possible.

14 years after the 100% TAS now you finally get to see an improvement 6 minutes faster than the original run.

Imagine being so fast that you can even outrun the cameraman

Bro justs runs into the bumpers in the special stage and thinks he's Michael jackson💀💀💀

[@Sonicgott]

All these years of playing this game and I still DO NOT understand how the Special Stage glitches work.

Nice TAS. I hope no jerk pops in and berates it for not "agreeing" on what 100% means in Classic Sonic games...

[@zimtak6418]

As soon as Sonic goes super he sees just how much he can break the laws of physics.😅

[@user-tf7gb2zq3d]

This is what I love, it helps me calm down especially in hard times way better than music does, no cap

[@nekobutler7778]

the way this fella approaches special stages irks me in a way words can't describe. and why does he not collect them all? hyper Sonic is available as early as marble garden, at least it was on the ds ports, you never had to wait until mushroom hill to get it for any character

[@damin9913]

The best sonic game ever made only on genesis

[@Immunity1080]

The way its treating blue spheres is criminal

Knuckles in Hydrocity Act 2

[@RownTown]

Can anybody else agree that classic sonic games being controlled by TAS looks like sonic in the shows, movies and intros

The way the special stages are done give me an indescribable amount of anxiety.
