[TAS] SMS Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "best ending" by mike89 in  

What does /s mean

The score going up sound, rip ears

*The Sounds Of Your Wii Crashing*

@@superknuckles9567 I'm assuming it means sarcasm. It's meant to be an indicator, to tell people what the message would contextually be conveying, although it usually confuses me moreso.

You can say that again at 5:38

No, they just wanted to kill everyones ear's who speedruns or watches a speedrun with a super long high ptich beep.

my eardrums are dead

@@nelsonreyes-alvarez605 Sonic 1 for Game Gear does the same thing. The absurdly high time bonus is given if the player completes the given level in 0:20 or less.

Yeah, i wonder if there's an reason for that...?🤔

@Ivan Franco I don't know if you're joking or not,but if you're not,then it's because the game.......well, the game is over,like actually,you've gotten all 6 emeralds,you've saved Tails(me,)and you beat Ro-butt-nick and beat all the levels

I mean the game is technically over OVER right? Since you finished it….

@nelsonreyes-alvarez605 Technically, yes. It's just that I'm more used to seeing a game over screen when I lose a game.

I always liked to think that it was Eggman being proud and putting the rules of the game above actually killing Sonic. "NO NO NO! You're not going to die by falling in lava like a chump, you're going to die by BEING KILLED BY MY ROBOTS!"

@@Ninetails2000 Yeah, its like they want to die without falling into an lame lava pit... 😅

It turns out there's a _very_ rare glitch that can occur where Robotnik gets caught in the wall for a few moments, preventing him from catching you in time and costing you a life

All hail our new hero, Dr. Ivo Robotnik!

Late reply, but it's because the game's story assumes you already have the first Chaos Emerald, which Robotnik wants. He 'saves' Sonic so he can beat him in the boss fight and safely retrieve the emerald, without risking it being damaged in the lava or enduring the difficulty of trying to retrieve it from there.

Even as a kid I questioned that, if Robotnik wanted to kill him why not leave him.

@@miymoto128 Because Sonic has an Emerald, and letting it fall into the lava is *no good*.

Because if anyone's going to kill Sonic, it will be him.

Maybe Eggman though leaving Sonic Fall into the lava would be too boring.

@@JoanSlugXAkaJerkyBogard Perpahs, The devs decided to give Eggman at least one chance to be an hero, instead of always an villian. 😅

The master system/GG Sonic games are hard because the view distance is so goddamn tiny, you can’t see more than 5 feet in front of you.

@@Gotmilk0112 View of distance is not a huge problem on Master System, just on Game Gear. The real issue are frame rate and input latency.

@@Gotmilk0112 yup. It's especially bad on Green Hills Act 3. The entire act is basically blind jumps. The Master System version is too easy in comparison haha

@@millrrs I think the number one thing that makes them so hard is the ringless boss fights.

See my first experience with GG game especially this one was on Sega Gems Collections on GameCube. I actually hated this game to a degree but i saw sonic triple trouble on the same Collection i praised that they finally got a normal some what sonic game with the limitations. Gems Collections has this museum feature where after literally hundreds of hours and achievements you can unlock past sonic games but with an objective to beat the final boss under an hour and after you beat the final boss you can still play the entire game but only with the allocated time you had. I found GG sonic the hedgehog, one hour to beat the final boss then after that 8 speedrun as much as i could to get to see other levels before the game booted you back to the museum. Fun times, i spedrun some many final bosses lmao

Pretty sure that's not the right sound effect 😉

@@yanu5067 The Game Gear version has a different-sounding score tally.

@@Tom-jw7ii that makes sense, had the GG version in mind ,,😀

@@yanu5067 I remember that was the sound on a UK game gear, but only if you pressed a button to speed up the counter

@@bytesandbikes Oh yeah, I forgot about that. In that case it’s probably the same. Edit: Never mind. Just checked and the GG version is different.

It was something really bizarre and unintuitive like pressing left and up. Been a long time since I played but it was really weird and I couldn’t use it properly either

Press left to go up, press right to go down.

That’s the neat pat, you don’t

Yeah the last, one. How in the word did they do it so that there was no lightning or those balls that normally come out

Saturn? This was on Sega Master System

@@cay7809Oh thank you sir my memory has being failing me since my aging.. Yes I think I meant what you are saying

Too bad we’ll never know what Sonic 2 on the Genesis would’ve been like. :(

For what it is the game did have a shocking bad ending. I'm sure you know what I mean

@@Tom-jw7ii Unless, someone makes an Sonic 2 MS Genesis Remake, as an fanmade game... 😅

wester's speedrun uses in-game times (i.e. clock stops when the timer stops and doesn't take account of score tallies, level intros). If that's done here this run is 12:31.
