Thanks for the clarification. I have to say that I love this run and the game itself. I've never seen it before, but it's a really nice game with very good graphics and music. It's even hard to beleive that it's a 16 bit game... And the run makes it even more enjoyable, so glitchy. Definitely one of my favorite runs.

With reversed gravity most solid objects do not work as solid ones, simply because they were not designed for such player's position. The gameplay will be extremely glitchy, I think. And I still do not like the idea, why need so weird strategy? Why not to try other goals, like 100% kills, pacifist version, or to make a usual speedrun with Tails?

This was one of my first games. I discovered it before Sonic and Mario. So when I saw Sonic first time, I was 100% sure that it was an improved version of Somari :)
Looks pretty slow, but I like it, so much memories ^_^
P.S.: but I agree with the desicion — if this run is not that good, it should not be published.

Hey, what’s wrong? Improvements are always measured with frames :)
Remember 1 frame improvement of SMB that was accepted as a real improvement

Do you think it's possible ?
Oh, no! This idea was pretty good but does not fully function. there is a leap I can not do, and I try everything and there are problems with the speed Y. I do not know what else could try, maybe some zip to help me with the speed I do not know ,if I can not take those rings, maybe would have to suspend the project for a while.
As marjo said, even if you zip through a wall somewhere, you will gain so great speed that you will go offscreen, and you will not be able to collect rings there since the game does not check sprite collisions while you’re offscreen.

I beleive you can try to solve an easier task — like 100% kills, pacifist version, no rings run, etc. Unsure about “no rings” — maybe it’s impossible for some of the levels too…

I updated the script to support Amy in Sonic 2 version 1.5. As is my practice, I deprecated support for the older version (which was still 1.3, since I hadn't updated to 1.4 yet).
Ok, one more question: do you have a repository (svn, git, etc) for this project? It will be much easier to me and others to keep the code up to date.

Watching it, it was alright. But it also seems that not alot of route-planning went into this, as my own WIP demonstrates some path choices he could've easily taken and saved alot more time on some of the stages, Dark Fortress act 3 in particular.
Found your old Mighty WIP @ youtube (and subscribed your channel), but disappointed with video quality. Could I have the gmv? Just for ability to watch the run in better quality.
Of course, only if it syncs fine on current Megamix version…

Who designed the levels…
It’s weird that they made ability to get perfect bonus for collecting all rings, but haven’t made it possible everywhere.
Anyway, if not possible to collect those rings, it may be possible with some hack, especially if it adds only ability to fly and the current WIP syncs fine under it, but it’s not that interesting…

Crramalama’s run with Mighty
Link to video
(see also other 2 parts, the last one is the most impressive)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt52xDQFP3Ehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZkFzbFI4yQ
(sorry, don’t know where is the gmv)
As about nitsuja’s run — it looks great, but I would prefer to see it done with any other character (sonic is my unfavorite one, sorry for that). But it’s very nice to see so much zipping through walls anyway, not depending on character used. Loved your spindashing to music at ~10200.

But due to another bug still in the process of being fixed, you may have to turn off audio or Gens might crash (depends on your sound card).
Never got this issue. I got another one — it is impossible to dump video (gens produces avi files with no frames), but this does not make a huge problem — my friend helps me when I need a video.

I have to run gens-rerecording in wine. It takes all available CPU time and runs not so smooth as the native version. Same wish, it would be great to be able to run gens-rerecording natively under Linux (and other UNIX systems too!)

Is Amy in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 really supported? I get this error
ROM with checksum '0xa709' is unsupported.
I beleive the script actually works (since the game engine is the same), but it just does not have such checksum listed as supported one. However, I don’t wanna touch the code.
I used ROM from Sonic Retro, version 1.5.
And yes, what mr Felipe requests could be very useful thing too. Especially if it’s possible to display it in a separate window.
(upd) Found rom-check.lua, gonna try simply to replace the listed checksum value

This isn't bad (lol CNZ1), but there are some things I noticed, too.
- in general, I agree that bonus stages should have been avoided. If they're left in, one can abuse them, go to the slot machine and get a triple jackpot to get 100 rings.
- in particular, the slot machine in ICZ1 doesn't seem to manipulate luck well enough; 100 rings should be obtainable at the first attempt, I think.
- weird path in ICZ2. He went out of his way at the beginning to grab a few rings, while there are a lot more at the end when he collected the 100th.
- no elevator trick in LBZ1.
- the luck manipulation of the glowing spheres bonus stage in LBZ2 doesn't seem optimal.
I agree with all this, especially absent luck manipulation, but I think that run was done just for fun, not for reaching the “ideal” time and getting published here.
LBZ1 elevator early-exit glitch wasn't used
But this is weird, yep, he always used this trick in his other runs.
P.S.: this is all offtopic, let’s pay attention to Felipe’s new problem :)

Sadly I plaid only Sonic games, Comix Zone and SMB (NES) in my childhood, so, other game runs look not so interesting for me. But fortunately lots of people TAS those games here :)
The exception for me was Sparkler by Sonikkustar, looks nice game. So my wishlist is now only one game, but I’ve found it’s run on youtube. Don’t know about the technical quality of that run.
The “funny” element of that game is that some bosses give up without any fight :)

Voted “yes” since there are improvements…
