Sonic ERaZor 8 - True-BS Frantic Mode - 8 Deaths
6That is, 8 Deaths not counting the very few mishaps in the Special Stage-like stages.
Anyway, I decided to practice this mode and crush Selbi's own 76 Death video. ( • Sonic ERaZor 8 [TRUE-BS Mode] – Offic... )
No better feeling than utterly beating the creator at his own game.
True-BS Mode is unlocked after beating the Blackout Challenge for the first time, which removes all rings and checkpoints, replaces all beneficial Monitors except Shields, with the =P monitor which does nothing, and removes the invincibility you get while running fast.
It's actually more or less of a modifier to either Casual or Frantic Mode (matters in spots like the Green Hill Place and Unterhub Place bosses, among others), but I did the latter, because I could. I've played this game enough. Plus it feels more fitting.
Also it changes everything to Place because of an inside joke spawning from Selbi's testing of Version 7. I love everything about this.
I skipped some mini-cutscenes with ABC, though not all.
Anyway, as for the run itself, I'm proud of bringing my death count from 118, to 30, to 18 and finally to the single-digits with 8, but I am kinda mad at half of these deaths lol. All the ones outside Finalor Place are very preventable, and the Finalor Place boss deaths themselves are mostly because RNG moment.
Also the Blackout Challenge IS possible to do without hitting a single Goal Block (in fact, I did that in my unrecorded 18 Death run), but I can put aside the little phase transition mishaps and count it as a no-retry run of that stage.
