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

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

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

[@GuyDude-hk8uy]

I once had a friend that rarely - if ever - cleared the squares of spheres to turn them into rings. He would collect them as entire rows leaving them all as red spheres you could potentially run into later accidentally. Used to drive me up the wall lol.

[@StealthFoxx_]

Anxietee-hee (get it because Sonic is moonwalking)

[@IUsedToFermentThings]

I remember the sense of triumph I felt upon first completion of those obnoxious special stages in Sonic 3 and once again feeling that raw Super Sonic domination. Then.... Sonic and Knuckles came about. Those special stages were Brew. Tall. First time I beat the 7th one, I think actually sprouted chest hair and my voice got deeper. Straight deviousness. But I digress- another fabulous TAS run. Love seeing these old games chewed up and spat out. Justifies my teenage pain. Keep it up!

[@Sonicgott]

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

[@Anaerin]

When you complete a square of spheres, the blue spheres left, and ones you converted to red, get turned into rings. If you collect all the rings, you get a perfect bonus. Unfortunately, the "completed a square of spheres" checking code isn't that robust, and can mis-count or misrecognize.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! But yeah there’s always that one guy that’s like “UM WELL ACTUALLY ACCORDING TO THE STATISTICAL BAR GRAPH ON TASes YOU CANT LEVEL WRAP IN A 100% TAS THATS CHEATING…”🤓 But there’s only one thing you can’t do and that’s skipping levels. All levels have to be played out in orderly fashion, like the marble garden 1 skip isn’t allowed

@@ShiningProdigyTAS The only thing I really wanted to call into question was not getting a "perfect bonus" in every special stage, but ironically, speed running the special stages makes them far more entertaining to watch. Plus only Mania expects you to perfect all of them for 100%

[@HerpMcDerp89]

Im confused. I remember these being 2 separate games. You had "Sonic The Hedgehog 3" and "Sonic and Knuckles. You could place the StH2 or 3 cartridge into the S&K cartridge in order to have Knuckles as a playable character in those games, but I dont remember anything special other than that. I think there was also a button code to be able to play chaos emerald levels on incompatible cartridges.

[@mengo329]

S3 + S&K creates S3&K, the full Sonic 3 game, which connects the ending of S3 and the beginning of S&K. It also lets you play as Tails and Knuckles in all of the levels, lets you play all 3 bonus stages, and lets you collect those Hyper Emeralds. It's pretty much the definitive way to play Sonic 3

6:15 HOW

[@Camo_bomb]

Why does the TAS die in hydrocity act 2 and death egg act 2?

[@oost_javeln]

On hydrocity it's bc the bubble would make sonic bounce instead of jump most likely Either that or maybe the stage loads in differently on death or smth. Idk

[@possumorb3770]

​@@oost_javelnWhen transitioning to Act 2, Act 1 is still partially loaded, which would ruin the level wrap. The death reloads the stage and unloads Act 1, meaning the wrap goes off without a hitch.

[@MarioMastar]

@@possumorb3770 Yeah IIRC he would run into the edge of the level and die as it takes time to load Act 2's level geometry, hence the slow wall chase part and the numerous one way doors.

[@MysterioBerlin]

Poor Ice Cap Zone 😂

[@somedude4805]

Not sure I’d consider not getting the rings in the blue sphere stages to be 100%.

[@MarioMastar]

Really feels like it...especially to those who played Mania, but alas...this game doens't keep track of which stages you perfect scored. Plus I find genuinely speed running the special stages a lot more unique and entertaining so I'll give it a pass.

[@MeduSnek]

I can't say that I can't do the special stages (all 14 of them) because I did get them over three times over for sonic and tails, tails, and knuckles through the gamecube version. but it's been so long that I'm rusty. So long that I'm not sure if I can do them over again. also, fuck the carnival night zone for that stupid floating platform. finally, what I've seen I prefer the marble garden zone boss fight with tails available to sonic although sonic being alone does look easier.

Always been a bug, I think it considers the burnt state of Angel Island as "Act 2".

[@Gabitomad11]

@@MarioMastarWould make sense

[@mengo329]

Because when angel island is set on fire, the game actually loads in Act 2's data. Act 1 only covers the very beginning before the stage gets set on fire. When you leave the special stage, the game loads the level data of where you entered from which includes the music, and thus the game uses Act 2's music.
