[TAS] [Obsoleted] [Camhack] Genesis Sonic 3 & Knuckles "Sonic, 100%" by marzojr in 55:48.80 

That backwards running on the bonus stages is more stress inducing than dragging a sewing needle across a balloon.

"Sonic got a Chaos Emerald" "Sonic can now rip the fabric of space and time"

I thought Sonic had super speed, not 4th-dimensional travel.

42:22 are we just not gonna talk about how he just casually moonwalks to the boss like “you cannot physically in this realm do shit to me”

Sonic 3: *doesn't have the drop dash* TASbot: fine, I'll do it myself.

Almost 12 years later, this is still an amazing TAS.

This is the kind of stuff we thought we were doing playing this game as kids.

My jaw hit the floor during the special stages. How can this guy do them so wrong yet so right?

4:47 - Big "no, don't like that" energy Actually that's just every special stage

39:15 He's just standing there, *menacingly!*

the best game in the entire franchise

Oh my, the blue sphere bonus rounds are anxiety triggering, but great run nonetheless...

It's a known fact that Sonic moves so fast he can transform clouds into texture vomit.

I can see why he's called "Hyper" Sonic now

I love how he goes so fast that he not only fucks up the level but also the music sometimes

I seriously miss Hyper Sonic. I hope he makes a return. This is such an awesome run.

This brings back many memories man. I miss my childhood.

The ending at 55:50 reminds me of that one time I beat the Marble Garden 2 Boss with EXACTLY 9 minutes, 59 seconds on the stage timer... You get 100,000 points as a time bonus if you do that. I would not recommend trying it.

48:20 PERFECT TIMING

16:43 Ayo that beat drops hard XD

The sassy stomp at 51:13

22+ years ago I developed anxiety from these special stages, then this guy goes ahead and does this...

40:45 This is what ADHD looks like when your body has a lot of pent up energy.

“Hyper sonic gives people seizures.” Back then: Maybe, I don’t see it. Now: ok I get what they were saying.

37:16 The power of hyper sonic lmao

25:35 How many explosion sound effects should we implement? Yes!

This is a great guide. Helped me get all the emeralds. Thanks.

Nice run so nostalgic The part when you need to get the Super Emerald's Chaos it gets hard to complete *Really Sonic Speed Here*

When the screen-scroll can barely keep up, you know you TAS'd the crap out of it.

12:33 Knuckles:I'm waiting... Sonic:No, I'm gonna skipping this, so, I'm outta here! Knuckles:WHAT THE? You must meet with me! Sonic:Sorry, but this is speedrun, there is no time to waste.

My man be jumping those red spheres with confidence, meanwhile I'd be out after the first 2 seconds.

33:19 Oh, It’s Sonic’s third jump glitch, it’s okay!

Backwards in the blue spheres is amzing man GG!

Alternative Title : Anthropomorphic Hedgehog uses gems to break the space-time continuum and jump through walls at hyperspeed to take down a doctor that tries to take over the world.

right around 24:00, when sonic grabs the bonus ring for like a split second it look like he turns into Shadow

This is the greatest sonic game ever made for the Sega Genesis

2009 explained why certain tricks i was expecting weren't present. fantastic tas

This is an appreciation commentary for the inhuman way of finishing those special stages, only if you were interested in how TAS are remarkably, honourably yet bizarrely satisfied you by how they did collect all the emeralds. Chaos Emeralds: 0:33 The most innocent, you can even finish it on your first run except if you move backwards just like here. 2:07 Those 3x4 sphere groups look fantastic for changing them to rings, but TAS chooses an irregular path. It even almost stepped on booby traps. 4:06 A pretty nice multitasking with Sonic's eyes on its nape. 5:49 You don't want to collect those last 44 spheres in that absurd way, but I believe you were satisfied by the ending. 8:56 I mean like, 'play safe' is not a thing. Imagine touching those odd apples. 11:01 I'm sure you finish the 4x4 sphere groups first before touching the 2x2 groups, unlike TAS did. 13:26 This final chaos emerald is tricky. You might only need to get 60 spheres, but the quite-symmetrical stage sometimes blocks your way. Take a look at that pinball trick! You might need it as a shortcut. Super Emeralds: 26:53 1st of 7 emeralds. Probably an effortless start for the super emeralds special stages, but here, most of you would likely be left astray on the forest of red spheres for approximately 30-90 seconds (or more) before locating the last 2x2 sphere group. 28:20 7th of 7 emeralds. Another backwards pinball, and guess what? You were stumbling to locate that final 2 sphere lovebirds, but they are in nowhere. Perhaps you also need to find another 2 lovebirds apart (or more). 29:41 2nd of 7 emeralds. Believe me, the first time you were here, you were always touching the red spheres, whether you touched it directly, kicked by the queue of pinballs, or that bouncy yellow thing threw you. This is the most dreadful stage IMO. I remember when I was frustrated all day finishing this stage, so I had no choice but to search the internet for the stage map. The way TAS walks backwards effortlessly makes me think how much time of discovery spent to make these flawless taunt-like moves, even with the garnished ending. 31:10 6th of 7 emeralds. One unique thing I've noticed after analyzing the map is this stage is almost symmetrical, but it still confuses people. Ah, also with another garnished ending. 33:26 3rd of 7 emeralds. Frankly speaking, this is another easy stage since you only need to collect 37 spheres, but it should be finished in a one-way path; you can't turn back in ease since there were a couple of 2 sphere lovebirds guarding the routes you've passed in this stage. 34:31 5th of 7 emeralds. Another tricky stage. I'm sure most people will avoid those yellow bouncers, but they are essential here unless you are willing to challenge booby traps and pinballs. Also, before you feel confident where you should go, never try to run backwards. 35:54 4th of 7 emeralds, the last one. This stage is more spacious, making players feel at ease. Perhaps this is the most straightforward super emerald stage. Tip: I recommend searching for stage maps on the internet for those who struggle to collect all these emeralds. If you treat this video as a tutorial, you are obviously tormenting yourself unless you adore complicated things.

Bot: *moonwalks on special stages" Me: "Your tactics confuse and frighten me, sir."

this is what happens when you let sonic play his own game

I never stopped to think about it as a kid but it just hit me. Super Sonic is invincible to everything. Lack of oxygen, pits, and being crushed is just for gameplay balance. That said, how the heck did Knuckles get the Chaos Emeralds from Super Sonic? Did...did he really JUMPSCARE them out of Sonic? 😂

Its hard not to love this game

I like how you did it on actual hardware the way the music gets less because the channels are playing sound effects makes the experience more authentic. 7:46

Lot of people don't know this but this was supposed to be one cartridge but the timeframe they had to make this game wasn't long enough so they did the sonic and knuckles later on to put it together

22:40 Finally, visual verification of what I've known all along. That damn tube must widen so the capsule can move sideways. Dumb design by Robotnik.

After all these years I never knew you could get this ending man learn something knew everyday

2:29 Sonic: **deliberately chooses to jump between the red spheres like an absolute madman** Me not knowing that it was even possible: *WHAT. WHAT? WHAT THE FU-*

Me watching this with my arms folded saying this is ridiculous. In a good way of course 😂

23:58 his pallete just turned into a shadow for a second lol

Thanks So Game Almost 12 years later!

Is there a reason as to why Sonic's sprite appears in the foreground at all times?

So... much... *moonwalking*

Can't describe how much I love the fact that hyper Sonic is often the fastest option, even making clip zips faster

This is the actual speed of sonic

6:31 oh don't mind me, i'm just moonwalking on some blue spheres

This guy messed around and made Ultra Instinct Sonic lmao That said, Amazing (If not a bit anxiety inducing, lookin' at you, special stages) run.

Yo, Lava Reef 2 was a fucking banger until he went Hyper Sonic

I love how sonic is constantly jumping and spindashing in place as if he's on happy crack

i like how for the entire run the game was just like "WTF IS GOING ON?!?!?!?" as sonic clips through walls and shit XD

The special stages were the highlights of this run, but seeing a tas of a game I played the crap out of on emulator in high school was nevertheless entertaining as heck

Rolling around at the speed of- you know what, I give up.

whats up with sonic rendering in front of foreground elements?

When he zips through the wall at 10:37, how come the collision is the same for the water ramps, but the graphics get all confused? BTW, nice speedrun.

I’m assuming gaming companies were not aware of Seizure warnings back in the 90’s because…..Hyper Sonic! XD Still I couldn’t stop watching it! Cuz I was that kid that played adventure 2 a LOT growing up so it was cool to see where they got some of their ideas from. -Like the Snowboarding in the beginning of the Icecap zone reminded me of the beginning of Cityscape when you are boarding through the city streets. -The Bounce Shield=the bounce bracelet -The Green Super Emerald=The master emerald -The golem you fight in the sandopolis level=The Egg golem

How to make this camhack?

26:29 to 26:39 wha- what the heck?!? what did I just witness? There's two Knuckles, a magical teleporting ring to the crystal zone, and suddenly a spare emerald game.

Why was Sonic appearing above the bushes at the beginning there?

I don’t know who this TAS guy is but he seems pretty good at Sonic 3 & Knuckles. (Please don’t kill me, I’m just joking)

Man still to this day I can't stand carnival night zone

100% run Rings in the special stages: am I a joke to you?

Hmm so sonic is trying to do a moon walk in the bonus stage hmm interesting I'll write that down

I remember seeing this back in 2014... Or 2013 I don't remember. But when I saw it I got amazed

1 ring clutch for the win

18:15 Insane!

8:45 is this some kind of wall glitch?

Robotnik didn't even get to star in the Launch Base Act 2 miniboss, Sonic took it out before he even got a chance to hop in 😭

23:58 "hi i am shadow"

Isn't Marbel Garden Robotnik is supposed to be on the little space ship while you attack with tails flying?

I wonder if sonic gets dizzy after spinning from all those elevators

I knew from the moment I saw that bubble shield things were about to get real frame perfect

I hate how many rings he passes up in the final stage. That kind of timing to have one ring left at the end was sick.

Holy shit my eyes I see why it's Hyper Sonic now.

"I said go fast not BEYOND LIGHT SPEED"

Bro with hyoer sonic and tas you cant see the screen. 😭

Kinda disappointing that the accepted 100% definition doesn't include all rings on the bonus stages but 🤷‍♂️

Breaking news: blue hedgehog goes -super- -saiyan- *mastered ultra instinct,* tears the fabric of reality apart

I will argue, to my _dying breath,_ that if the in game timer is _within six seconds_ of 1m00s, the TASer should intentionally wait out the clock unless it would severely prolong a section or area. An example might be the Drill Mobile K in Marble Garden Zone. Instead of activating the boss right away, maybe marzojr could have waited a couple seconds before entering the boss area? I dunno. Someone - maybe _several_ someones - explained this to me, before and I forgot. I know there's a _really good_ reason TASers of _Sonic_ game do things this way…

20:27 what the hell is going on?

18:14 Blast Away!!

18:15 I didn't know about a speed glitch like that, especially one that makes base form sonic have afterimage effects

This is the game that won out Christmas sales versus Nintendo and put Genesis on top for the holiday season sales sadly this marked the beginning of the end for Sega after that year.

I really dug the track from Lava Reef Zone (Act 1). I really hope Sega does a remake or remaster of this in the near future. I also liked how the time bonuses bestowed you with more lives. Thanks for the upload and giving Sonic the ability to 'moonwalk' in the sphere stages ;P

Watching the Blue Sphere stages gives me anxiety. lmao

So is it pronounced hydrocity or hydrocity?

Everybody got insane when he did this 2:30

Is he getting the blue spheres to the beat of the song at 11:09? Certainly sounds like it

This has the best boss theme of all the Sonics.

HYPER SONIC!!!!

48:02 wait are you hitting him constantly? But he doesn’t take any damage when you hit him what’s the point? And if you’re going to make robotnik steal the master emerald, why bother giving him a hurt-box?

Todos en las fases especiales:hace perfects Este enfermo:bloquea perfect y camina como Maikel Jackson
