This video is staying up due to this showing up in search results. That, and this video uses the shields, so you have a few alternate choices to pick from.
Good lord, I'm not sure why im recording so many of these recently... oh well.
The run is recorded as Sonic, because.. well.. he's the quickest. At beating bosses anyway. And I use the optimal shields for the quickest times.
No cheats*, hacks, etc. And no bloody Super Sonic.
* Except debug mode to access the alternate boss, see below.
Couple of notes:
0) I use the Bonus Stage to "select" the optimal Shield. Or in the case of Launch Base's sub-boss... remove the shield.
1) The Marble Garden Boss really cannot be defeated during the first portion of the battle. Sonic either falls through him or the one time I DID defeat him.... I couldn't complete the stage. :/
2) The "Alternate" Marble Garden boss was accessed using debug mode. Yes it appears in Sonic 3. Yes they planned to include Knuckles as playable in Sonic 3. And yeah the Sonic and Knuckles boss music appears in Sonic 3 as well :P
3) I have no idea what happened to the Launch Base boss. Clearly they did not test the game properly.
4) Yeah. I don't get the Emeralds. I don't want to become Super Sonic. And I need high ring levels to access the bonus stages. Nuff said. This is a boss run, not a game run.
Two things are clear from this run - the Lightning shield is a boss killer, and Sonic's sub-spin during his jump is the best thing Sega added to the game. :P
Technically this is a Sonic 3 boss run.
I wanted to mix the music up a bit, plus it gives me access to the Sonic 3 final boss.
The rest of the bosses (a.k.a Sonic and Knuckles) coming soon! Please ignore the two weeks thing. Knowing my concentrationg level, it'll probably be the next few days... XD
PS. I am aware of typing the wrong words completely at the end. Dyslexia sucks.
