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.

Though, since the latter set of Emeralds isn't used for anything meaningful at all, the author has also provided a version that skips all the Super Emeralds and their respective bonus stages, which is about 9 minutes shorter. The movie files for this and other bonuses can be obtained from the author's comments.

This is a 7 minute 38 second improvement over the previous movie. Much of this improvement is simply due to defeating bosses more quickly. The author has left detailed comments about these improvements.

The author of this TAS chose to get maximum height bonuses instead of using the end pole for a small, boring speed boost.

As Bag of Magic Food so excellently put it, "Starface has stretchy arms and wastes time spinning on poles."

The game is markedly different than other Sonic games; aside from "improved" graphics and sounds, each level has 2 to 4 alternate versions that correspond to different time periods. Sonic can move between them to affect the gameplay and ending.

However, upthorn and nitsuja ignore this entirely and tear through the game in standard Sonic TAS style, skipping many portions of the levels with unintended shortcuts and leaving the camera to try to catch up.

There are two AVIs, the first recorded with the US music and the second with the Japanese music.

Ecco is capable of moving at very high speed but has little in the way of brakes. Turning corners without smashing into walls is tricky to say the least.

This run plays on the hardest difficulty mode.

Note: The multimedia file for this run is an MKV with chapters. This can be played in most media players, but if problems are encountered then please see the Downloads page.

The player is tied to a partner with an elastic band of ‘ring energy’. There are five selectable player characters, and seven partners. This run uses Knuckles as the primary character. Using a number of glitches (of which the most prominent is zipping through walls), most of the levels are completed tens of seconds faster than intended.

After each stage, the next level is selected via roulette. The cut-scenes and level select sequences are quite long, comprising about 66% of the total movie length. We recommend fast-forwarding these sequences of the movie.

This is our first ever published 32X game.
