Ludicrous-speed bouncing around. Completed without collecting any emeralds, with both Sonic and Tails controlled by the player.

This run takes everything you know about Sonic and Knuckles and turns it upside-down. It extensively uses the "scroll objects offscreen to pass through them" trick to zip and warp to places that shouldn't be reached, break bosses, and effectively skip entire stages.

It is worth noting that Nitsuja and Upthorn did not directly participate in the creation of this movie; instead, marzojr incorporated newly discovered tricks in several stages and spliced them in for a total improvement of 46 seconds.

The publisher wishes to note that any attempts to upload the official encode to Dailymotion has resulted in failure, we suggest you watch the YouTube video instead. An unofficial Dailymotion upload using a different but publish worthy encode can be found here instead. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Please read the welcome page if you haven't already done so. It explains the rules and methods that apply to all of these movies, particularly the use of savestates and frame advance. Also refer to our Glossary to understand terms we use, such as TAS or other unfamiliar terms.
