Shadow the Hedgehog : All 21 Hero missions - A rank - No damage (as Shadow) - No CCG/Warp glitches.
CCG = Chaos Control glitch where it's possible to freeze the Hero Meter from properly draining when Chaos Control is active by using the move and pressing the X button (Circle on PS2) on the teleporter at the same time to bring up the warp select HUD, it also freezes the in-game timer this way.
This glitch only works on both US GC and US PS2.
The warp glitch is when Shadow performs a precise triangle jump towards an object, he can warp right next to the end of level goal ring. Look up on TAS runs of Sky Troops and Glyphic Canyon as examples.
There are 22 levels in the game and only 1 of them has both Dark/Normal missions, no Hero mission.
This is a follow-up. to Shadow Generations/Sonic Colours Ultimate videos in the past where I'm playing Sonic games by obtaining the best in-game rank without taking damage, I've decided to record 21 levels of Shadow getting the best rank on Hero Missions without taking a hit (at him), the machines/vehicles are fine as they're not directly harming the hedgehog, this is something GTA series allow with their no damage runs.
I played this game for the first time ever (yes)... 6 days before the Sonic 3 Movie came out, I did this just to be ready for references when watching the film as I did play Sonic Adventure 2 a lot to the point I've made a 3.5hr comparison video of both Dreamcast and Gamecube versions.
In my opinion, this game is the my favourite BAD Sonic game so far when compared to Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom, it feels like a notably lesser polished version of Sonic Adventure 2 when it comes to action stage platforming but with a weapon mechanic added to the mix.
