I’ve found a way to finish act 2 of Sonic 1: Egg Factory in 0:01.05 (
yes, 1
second and 5
frames). But it’s too dirty to be abused, because it’s only in-game time so short (I found a way to reset it), the real time is normal. So I’ll just minimize the in-game time without applying this glitch. Will post the new run right here soon, until then enjoy
this screenshot.
(upd) okay. Instead of posting on YouTube, I decided to make it
downloadable. I hope you enjoy this TAS, which is almost-optimized now (though I realized two minor mistakes after finishing it — but I don’t care much, it’s still fast as hell =). Apologies about file size, I’m too lazy to read stuff like encoding guidelines. If someone wants a gmv,
here it is.
(upd2) fixed the mistakes, saved 1 more in-game second. Will post the resulting run (which I rate as having “submittable” quality) tomorrow.
(upd3) updated the link above
(upd4) FYI if you get a gravity glitch (some TASers call it slope glitch — it is the same) before act 2, you can beat act 2 even faster. However, the method of getting it, which I used for a test, is way too slow — I loose a lot more in act 1 than I gain in act 2 from it.
