VG Myths - Can You Beat Sonic 1 & Knuckles Without Pressing Right Or Left?

[@Gamechamp3000]

If you want to try the run yourself in the romhack, here's BahamutVoid's Retroachievements set! retroachievements.org/game/29933

[@germanelkapo1]

I had done it on android, but i minimized up and down inputs as much as i could as well because they trivialized a lot (climbing with up skips a lot, and spindashes are quite useful). I had valued one more than the other ofc. The final boss wasn't the hardest (still hard, and i used savestates). The hardest was the escaping from the lava in Marble Zone without directionals (had to use savestates, was way too precise).

[@Mikeprower]

watching you do these challenges is always such a treat because you never skip out with save states or technicalities like younger me did in my versions lol. only you would spend 10 minutes defining what an input is to avoid a left press before the game even has started, incredible. also you should totally do sonic mania at some point, my videos on it are pretty old (and a little cringe) at this point. the world deserves a newer version from your perspective

I was so ready for her to just rotate the mousepad by 90 degrees, so that moving the cursor left or right would be accomplished through a forward-backward movement of the mouse.

[@camwyn256]

But that would allow the same thing with the controller

[@magnumdopus5832]

@@camwyn256 No, since the argument with the mouse is that the mouse is moving left or right, whereas the argument with the controller is that Knuckles is moving left or right. If the mouse is rotated, it never moves left or right. If the controller is rotated, Knuckles still moves left or right. TLDR- semantics gonna semantic

[@joeytabora1052]

Another bonus reason that clicking is allowed is that even if moving the mouse left and right is forbidden, (which you've established it's not), a computer with a touchscreen allows you to click without moving the mouse at all by just tapping the part of the screen that you want to click. This will make the cursor disappear, but moving the mouse again will prove that the cursor either stayed right where it was before, or teleported to the clicked location without actually moving right or left. Obviously that doesn't matter because as you proved, the game considers them different inputs, but I just find it fun that even applying the logic of a sentence in the english language in which moving the mouse is still moving, it's still possible to select Knuckles.

[@Crisp1Chip]

Good reasoning, however you need to move your hand left and right to press the correct spot in the touch screen

[@notdemomantf2294]

Seeing runs like this makes me think back to how it is (technically) possible to beat Kirby's Adventure without owning a Kirby game. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, playing the game can allow you to unlock timed demos of older titles, showing the games some characters originate from. One of these is Kirby's Adventure, which happens to have 3 glitches in the first stage: Eating two enemies at once lets you get the Stone ability, rolling at the correct spot lets you clip through the floor and be underwater without swimming, and using stone underwater causes a game crash you can forcefully halt by pressing Start at the right moment to pause the game, making the end credits of Kirby's Adventure roll without owning Kirby's Adventure. Done fast enough, you can beat the demo's time limit.

[@nicoborken9963]

there was a video (forgot what it was) that said that the ocarina of time demo in Brawl was also possible to beat using glitches

[@bababooey5402]

I would actually like to suggest something for consideration for a future run like this, provided you ever consider at least this one notable fangame. "Can You Beat SRB2 Without Moving?" Basically, complete the normal levels of SRB2's campaign (and the subsequently unlocked Vhallenge Levels) as Knuckles without WASD controls whatsoever (aside from menus, which are already unaffected by unmapping WASD anyways.) It's reccomended to use "Manual" control style (you'll know what that means when you see the menus) because it makes your camera dictate which direction you glide/spindash to. There's a small trick you can do with climbing that makes it viable: 1. Glide onto a wall and latch on. 2. Press Spin to drop off of the wall instead of jumping off, the latter will turn you around. 3. Immediately after pressing Spin, before you lose any altitude, press Jump again to glide back into the wall, gaining a couple inches of height. This can even be angled to shift to the sides thanks to Manual control. 4. Repeat until you reach the top, at which point Knuckles will slide onto the ground your next glide. Also, this game is immediately more forgiving than S3&K because it doesn't just save your current zone, it saves your current act. This, plus effectively infinite continues in any slot that's not specifically designated No Save makes extra lives pointless, and helps prevent against Lattelocks with springs (and all of this is unfortunately required, as there's no longer any Time Overs given that these 3D stages are much larger than any previous 2D stages. At least you won't need to buy so many lattes; your poor wallet probably cries every time it sees a spring in a Sonic game.) I actually tested this myself a little, and it actually seems about as fun as S3&K was, but my current roadblock is the crumbling bridge segment in Castle Eggman Zone 1. Knuckles can't seem to gain and maintain enough speed to get across fast enough, and this may unfortunately come down to the completely different physics. One last note, should you consider this challenge: there is a mod on the SRB2 Message Board that's named something like "Every Time Knuckles Gets Hit, He Says 'OH NO'". As it describes, this audio is the only thing it adds. It's really hilarious, and is therefore required.

[@bababooey5402]

I mention the normal levels, but now that I think about it, you can actually include the Challenge Levels. You unlock Haunted Heights immediately after beating the final boss, you unlock Aerial Garden after HHZ, and you unlock Azure Temple after AGZ. These are much harder than the vanilla stages, so if you crave something harder if the main game doesn't challenge your lack of skills enough, these will suffice. This means that Frozen Hillside, Pipe Towers, Forest Fortress and Techno Legacy are completely omitted. These are unlocked by finding Emblems in the stages or by gathering enough rings/beating the zone fast enough to get the respective Record emblems. Most of the placed emblems can only be grabbed by specific characters, and the ones Knuckles can grab would simply not be enough to unlock them all. Plus, while Ring records can probably be easy to obtain, you'll most likely never obtain enough Time records. Chaos Emeralds are completely omitted, because I'm pretty certain you can't jump, glide or climb in NiGHTS: Into Dreams.

[@bababooey5402]

... oh no, I just remembered; Arid Canyon 2 might be a genuine end to the run! In several parts of the zone, there are minecart sections where you can ride on them and avoid TNT barrels. Some of them can be skipped around by finding an alternative path, but the one right before the end absolutely CANNOT be skipped (unless Knuckles can break certain walls I've never thought to test.) And unfortunately, you can't jump off of them or just jump over all the barrels and cacti. If you jump off of the rails, Knuckles will immediately die a horrible, painful death as the cart gets destroyed. If you get hit enough by barrels or cacti, Knuckles will die a horrible, painful death. The only time you can get off of a minecart is if it crashes into a specifically designed barrier, and Knuckles will NOT die a horrible, painful death. BUT, the one at the end of ACZ2 ends in a massive jump after the cart crashes, and if I know SRB2's physics enough, you won't have enough speed or momentum, so Knuckles WILL die a horrible, painful death!!!

[@bababooey5402]

Just revisiting this to say: if there's any problems you might have in terms of legality of fangames, SRB2 itself is made from the ground up, only using the DOOM engine and none of DOOM's assets. A recently released (and sold) indie game, Selaco, uses GZDoom itself, and Id Software/Bethesda have no qualms about it. The only legality part is that it uses the Sonic IP, and thus can't sell SRB2 - "If anything, we LOSE money," the devs insist. In other words, I firmly believe fangames can, and should, be considered real games. It's not like how ROM hacks or mods are extensions of existing games that, in the former's case, can now be considered a pirated version of the game. Besides, Sonic Mania is a fangame. Just an officially funded and endorsed one.

Now for the ULTIMATE challenge. Can you beat Blue Sphere? By pressing, I BELIEVE, the A, B, and C buttons on the NO WAY! NO WAY? screen of Sonic 1 and Knuckles you can activate the single longest official Sonic Game of all time. If memory serves Blue Sphere/ Blue Spheres has over 100 MILLION levels. Note how I said just ‘Can you beat?’ Just imagine how long it would take.
