Matt and Mark discuss a glitch they found while playing Sonic Mania on Press Garden which allowed them to essentially skip the final boss in Act 2. Apparently, if Tails spawns behind the wall that leads to the animal container, then they game thinks that the boss was defeated. However, when the wall disappears, the fight still continues even though the score is being added up and Sonic/Tails are immobilized. Tails is the only one able to move or pause the game at this point as Sonic glitches out. Once Tails pauses the game and selects "restart", then it advances to the next zone. This could have certainly saved Matt and Mark time had they known what was going on. What do you guys think? Is this a viable way to skip bosses if it's repeatable? Please let us know! We want to contribute to the speedrunning community, as we are big fans of it!
