Make no bones about it, however, it's far more than just the glitches shown in this video. You also have to contend with some of the worst controls in gaming, poor animation, ugly graphics, an insipid plot, and countless other issues.
I had hoped to cover other things in this video, such as the vast differences between versions of the game shown at tradeshows and how the game manual references a fairly large number of things that aren't actually present or functional in the game. On top of that, this video was made with me barely even playing half the levels in the game - I went through Sonic's levels but almost completely ignored Shadow and Silver. Unfortunately, 11 minutes is all I have and there are no plans to make a sequel video (please, don't make me play this game any more ;_;).

This is my childhood.
What? No, I'm not talking about Sonic 06, I'm talking about this video; it's so old now.
Same, I remember watching this years ago, weird.
Your comment is old now
Woah, nice
Was 16-17 when this came out and I'm now nearing 26, RIP.
This is my childhood.
What? No, I'm not talking about the video, I'm talking about this comment; it's so old now.
I actually decided to revisit this video, because I too remember watching it a lot back in the early 2010s.
9:57 Woah, I forgot CZcams used to have a length limit. This video is really old, jeez.
+Sir Tristan CZcams still does have a length limit for basic accounts. (15 minutes)
+BlazeHedgehog I thought that was only for accounts with a strike
+Poppy Harrison I thought that too.
Me too
You have to have the ability to live stream enabled to upload a video longer than 15 minutes, and I personally think that's stupid of CZcams.
"Darn! we're not gonna make it! lets speed up!"
Sonic Team, 2006
Also Sonic Team,2006: Those fans made us rushed the game and it was all of our fault.
@@kovidarthehedgehog4066
sonic team 2020 holy shit it’s good now.:
Everyone whose not nastalgic fanboy: your telling me this shit is better than colors?
The very fact that, not only did Sega release a game with this many bugs, but they released a game with this many bugs as a MILESTONE CELEBRATION for their MOST POPULAR FRANCHISE just pisses me off.
I don't care if people think this is still a good game. I don't care if I get so much hate for this. I don't care if they tried to rush this game for the holidays to stay in the deadline of this being a milestone game. Actually, scratch that last part, I do care.
They could have easily started a year prior to when they did. They could have easily done what they did for Sonic's 5th: Make a simple game with simple mechanics that, although did add something new, was still true to the feel of the originals. They could have easily pushed the deadline ahead for 2007. But they didn't.
They did so many things wrong with this, not only in-game wise, but development-wise as well. Why the hell would you split your team of developers in half and expect them to be able to completely finish a playable game?
The Super Coolman Sonic 2 Was using most of Sonic 1's programming in their level design, so being rushed on that wasn't much of a big deal.
They really wrecked the anniversary game.
This games music is decent and the HD cut scenes look really good, but they had to wreck a good running series like this!
I dream of a world where Sonic 06 was a great game.
I might be late to reply, but I'm gonna say, even if they used SA2 or Heroes's engine to program Sonic 06, it would be better than this one.
The reason why this game turned out the way it is is because with Yuji Naka living the team during development, rushing to meet the holiday deadline, Sonic Team was on pressure so you really cannot blame them.
At least the music was good...
All music in Sonic games are good ^~^ I can't ever go against that! Hehe
Brayden R. what about sonic Chronicles
True but, that's the case for most sonic games (even the bad ones). And I don't exactly think music is a good selling point
Stripy horse's cranium
Yeah true but don't save it tho
For all the defenders making comments telling people to just avoid these glitches:
Are you telling me that you would play a game with more ridiculous glitches than this, and just tell yourself to avoid them to have a good time playing?
Wouldn't it be better if, I don't know, there weren't fucking glitches to begin with?
Yeah, I know, tons of games have glitches. But not as many or as obvious ones that interrupt gameplay like this.
Sonic '06 isn't as bad as E.T or Superman 64, I'll admit, but it's fucking up there.
i played glitchier games
That Loser Mika The glitches are the only way to truly enjoy this game. XD
Mainly because they take up the parts that could have been good.
@@Blaxi131 doubt that
E.T isn't even that bad and isn't a buggy mess.
Skyrim and fallout are glitchier than this and those games are widely beloved. Sonic 06 is a bad game for many other reasons, glitches not helping.
Happy 12 years to this video existing.I think this genuinely influenced me as a person
Well this game managed to get a few things right in my opinion.
- The Soundtrack. (Easily the only thing widely praised in the game)
- Shadow's story. (It was written by the genius behind SA2. *Shiro Maekawa*)
- Introducing Silver. (Say what you want about him imo he is an underrated badass!)
- Mephiles. (Another underrated badass who was a great villain for Shadow)
- The concept. (While poorly executed had great potential)
- Shadow kicking Silver in the head. (What can I say? Shadow is a BOSS!)
- This is easily the most discussed Sonic game in the franchise. (Whether that is a good or bad thing is up to you)
If there is anything else you guys can find that this game did right let me know cause this is the most i could come up with :P
***** Yea Sonic Boom was just flat out trash. The only thing I liked about the game was Lyric. The voice acting was pretty good too.
You pretty much nailed it. Silver and Shadow are awesome in this game.
Wrong. There are no redeeming qualities to this game. The fact that anyone still pays any amount of money on this half finished piece of shit is sad. Generations did it right by stripping away all these retarded and unnecessary characters and stupid gameplay gimmicks. Though, of course, instead of taking an actual good idea with the franchise and rolling with it, they instead fuck it up again with Sonic Lost Worlds and the more recently Sonic Boom. They might as well take Sonic to the backyard, grab the shotgun and get it over with already.
Tim Banya Nah I disagree. Generations may have been fun but it played it way too safe, lacked ambition, story, and content. Plus the Time Eater fight sucked balls.
Steve Spud God, I hated that boss fight, especially on hard mode.

Cyaned 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ridiculous, ain't it? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Pros: The music.
Cons: Quite literally everything else. The game obviously didn't go through QA at all.
It's either that, or that part of the development cycle was outright ignored.
(Also) pros: cool side characters,liek the chair throwin maniac himself,silver the hotdog.
pros: character models that will let you take the characters more seriously, good story, Drama, Music, Shadow and Mephiles
Real cons: Sonic and elise stupid relationship they should've just made them best friends instead of beauty and the best (THE KISS WE ALL HATE), Long loading times, Glitches everywhere
So most of Sonic 06 problems are gameplay related
There's a pc remake of 06 that is actually pretty good it's actually what 06 Should've been
Sonic 06 actually had good potential but it's all wasted because of bad decisions
Pros:
Character Models
Music
Epic villain
Graphics
Level themes
Shadow’s story arc
You know a game is bad when SCRIPTED EVENTS can bug out/get you killed.
SilverHairedFreak25
Scripted events will kick your ass in Sonic Adventure as well, just press the B button next time you go through a loop de loop or are running from that Orca.
It can be easily avoided by not entering it too far to the right, at worst an efficient gamer will only make the mistake once and then prevent it.
Dark Hatena If you have to plan a way to avoid somebody's screw up, it doesn't invalidate the fact that they still screwed up, you know
Well, yeah, it does make sense. But it only costed one life for me and after it happened once I figured it out, so it wasn't too much of a problem for me, but it's mostly due to the person entering the thing too far to the right. So it is unfair, but it doesn't ruin the entire game to the point where it's unplayable.
Geometry Dash xMarco Kind of, yeah. It means the game is following a script. Like a cinematic scene. It plays out the exact same way every single time (or, at least, that's the intent).
Some scripted scenes also don't let you control them, but the term "scripted" can also just mean a predetermined sequence of events.
"You people don't understand, all of these supposed "glitches" are easter eggs", said no one ever XD.
That hurt...

There’s a Bethesda joke to be made somewhere
I know this comment is five years old, but.... EA probably said that.
"It's no use!"
Eliot Givan "This will end it!"
Ackeem Salmon "Oof! No...."
I would still play this over boom...
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Game Gear may be a pain in the ass, but I would rather play that instead of this steaming pile of garbage.
five years ago i left a mean comment on this video, so this is an apology
Haha, it's cool.
I feel ashamed for having defended this....

TAKE THIS!! >:D
TAKE THIS!!!
HOW 'BOUT THIS?!?!!
This will end it!

ITS NO USE!
The glitches are the least of this game's problems. First off, you've got the half-assed story. Sonic's entire story is literally nothing but, "Elise gets captured, go rescue her." Again. And again. _And again_. This is a Sonic game where Sonic himself has absolutely nothing to do with the actual plot. Shadow and Silver's are a little better, but that isn't saying much. It's got enough shoehorned melodrama to fill several episodes worth of soap operas, because it wants you to know that, "this is game is serious! Actions have consequences and no one can be trusted!" This is a game about a goddamn talking hedgehog. Taking itself too seriously makes it look more stupid than the fanfiction written for it on deviantart. At the very end, it all gets retconed anyway, making the entire game totally pointless.
Second, the levels. There's some decent design and a few okay ideas, but visually/style-wise, they're awfully bland and uninspired (except for Crisis City, but I'm a sucker for big open city levels and _maybe_ Kingdom Valley).
Third, the hub worlds. They're completely unnecessary and there's nothing to do in them. Sure, you can do the town missions, but even if those weren't blatantly unfun bullshit, they still have no effect on the game. You can _completely ignore them_ and the game will not be any different.
Forth, the controls. Controlling characters in this game feels so ridiculously stiff. When Sonic does a homing attack, it takes forever for him just to hit the next enemy, yet in the demo, it was as fluid as it was in SA2! Wtf happened?! The same goes for Shadow, only if you buy the stupid upgrades, it's even worse because you're stuck hitting the air until his combo finishes before you can move on. You'll be lucky if an enemy doesn't hit you while you're doing this. Silver feels the easiest to control, but the camera certainly hinders it a bit.
Fifth, the upgrades. They're pointless. Shadow's chaos blast does jack shit, Silver's "speed boost" does jack shit, and nearly all of Sonic's gems do jack shit. The only upgrades worth getting are the red gem (for easy A ranks) and the purple gem (infinite jumping).
Sixth, every character shares the same levels. I'd argue that Sonic Heroes could get away with this because the levels were large and fairly imaginative. Here it's just a chore to shuffle through some of these stages. And even when they try to spice things up, it fails. Shadow's hangglider is fucking stupid, and so is his jeep.
Perhaps the worst thing of all was that this was intended to be a reboot to the franchise. Even _if_ the game hadn't been rushed and had half the content it promised it would, it would still be a mess of a game that makes Final Fight Streetwise look like a competent reboot of a franchise. The _ONLY_ thing this game has going for it is it's wonderful soundtrack.
This makes me sad. I really liked this game when I was younger, but now...
Dynamite Grizzly i actually like the game i think that the gameplay and level design is great but the story is like a fanfiction especially sonic whos entire story is just saving elise and eggman boss fight is dissapointing.
but still i thing the game is fun the level design and the music is great.
Alice? Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?
UndefeatableTwilight im not americen so i didnt know how to spell her name right
You could have looked it up...
What Sonic 06 fans need to realize is, it's okay to like the game. It just isn't a good game. Liking Sonic 06 doesn't make it good. It's a bad game, accept that it's a bad game. You can still play it, love it, but stop trying to white knight the damn thing with some of the most batshit insane excuses.
Like it? Good. But that doesn't make it a good game. And if you really do like it, than you shouldn't care if it's good or bad.
The EYGMAN
They feel the need to defend the game from its critics I guess?
Rokko Chan If they do they can go fuck themselves
Roxie ღ I totally get what you're saying. There's little joy to come from playing a woefully broken game like Sonic '06; I couldn't even stomach the demo. The core purpose of a game is entertainment; failing that, it's considered work. If someone enjoys torture as a right of passage, then good for them.
Though I think the game is redeemed a bit based on the fact it's fun to watch others play.
Beejor
That and it has a great soundtrack.
Yep. Just because you enjoy something doesn't make it good.
Looks like Sonic 2006 was Sonic Rushed. LOL
It really was rushed btw
***** I just wondered if he knew
TheWii7 I'm sure he did.
I Love and Hate this game at the same time. XD
This is a big guilty pleasure for me. The glitches are hilarious and Blaze is awesome.
Dayane Rodrigues I agree, Blaze is indeed awesome.
This game had such a potencial
The new characters: blaze and silver, are awsome, the villain is pretty good
The scenarios are amazing, and the history have some good parts, like silver trying to kill sonic because of the bad future
But, there are SO MANY BUGS AND GAMEPLAY PROBLEMS that ruined the game
Ps: i dont like that princess too, it an unecessary character, and the relationship with sonic was really idiot, they could be just friends and it would be ok
D4RKM4NOLO Blaze is from Rush, originally.
I agree. My favorite part was the end of Silvers story, or his ending cutscene. I was so emotional and made the story perfect at the same time. The story line is great, but not the gameplay really
Z1LL4 JR Rivals came after 06.
Agreed
Nic before*
In this game are no glitches,
because the whole game is a glitch
I honestly think the game would've been mediocre at best, even if it wasn't rushed. You'd still have the awful story, bleak hub worlds, terrible side missions, Shadow's crappy vehicles, the ball puzzle, & half assed side characters. The game was fundamentally flawed at its core, ambitious or not.
You must really not like the Adventure games either, huh
Hey, the only thing that does it justice is the music.
And even that's not really enough to make me want to be in the same room as the game disc to this.
At least you can get the soundtrack independently from the game.
What about Shadow's roundhouse kick scene?
gottagofast20 Full of win.
Is it just me or it looked A LOT better in the e3 demo than retail?
It was a lot better, objectively, but they had some problems so they had to return to an earlier build, the E3 demo was way more finished, but the "final" game kind of sucked
@@Ultimatedogfan not true.
I thought this game was universally considered bad (for obvious reasons, as shown on this video + many others) but after reading some of the comments...uhm, what the fuck? Some people actually like this game? I mean, I could understand if this was the first game you ever played (in which case, at around this time you must be like, what, 10?) but you still have to admit that this IS a bad game...I don't blame anybody for liking a bad game, but when they become ignorant fanatics and actually say the game is good, then it can be seen as a problem.
Agreed.
#Cough#...Tarantino...#Cough# #Cough# (Hint, Hint!)
I wish SEGA would just remake this game. It had a lot of potential.
Cutting the Kiss and making Eggman more Unleashed alike
And named it silver the hedgehog
This game was meant for advocates of beastiality like Shane Dawson
Sonic Forces had little to no potential, Sonic 06's potential really hurt the game so much which why I still think it's the worst Sonic game. Great potential put to waist
@@YTSirBlack no, forget the comedy make him actually a smart threat like SA2
glitches ruin this game but the soundtrack and realistic look I loved. the story was meh. if they went back and fixed everything this could be one of the best sonic games
Sonic the Glitchhog
I used to think my disc was scratched. Ah, youth.
think of sonic 06 as more of a challenge. if you know how to overcome the programming errors that sega left behind, you'll be fine for the rest of the way.
Or - and this might come as a shock - you could just play a better game.
i understand yalls anger over this game, but tbh, i like it because of the glitches. like i said, it gives me a challenge.
***** So basically, you like this game for something that's not even supposed to be in it? You shouldn't have to avoid glitches in order to play a game - if you have to do that, then that just shows it's a bad design.
Vincent Simpson I've seen videos for the mod you're on about, I've just not played it yet. I do have Sonic Generations, but on PS3, not PC.
Vincent Simpson If you have Sonic Generations PC, you could just google "Unleashed Project." There is a ModDB page for it.
Honestly, I'm happy this game existed. It was so awful, that even Sega saw. And they wanted to make sure they never did it again. Say what you want about the games that came after - even if you didn't find them "fun" - you can tell they actually started caring about not making things a glitchfest.
Yeah, instead we have shallow generic baby games that completely forget what makes a sonic game a sonic game HOORAY!

+marc ruiz benito tony hawk pro skater 5:try harder noobs
Princess Elise + Sonic = Worst idea Sega ever had. Sonic should not have a love interest, not even Amy or Sally. It should just be about speed and adventure. Hmm, I wonder though, people complain about bestiality here but when other media contains bestiality almost no one complains. Jessica Rabbit + Roger Rabbit(Human and Rabbit), Bella and Beast(Human + Beast/human) and the list goes on.
But the beast turns into a human. Right? I've never seen the movie.
coolopo Yeah but Bella implies in one of her songs that she wouldn't mind being with him even though he was a beast. So she didn't know he was a man yet she didn't seem to care anyways.
I can't believe some of you are saying this is a "good game"... What has this world come to?
8:04 I was expecting a "I found you, Faker!" reference/joke xD
3:22 #ItsNoUse ! Ah, that boss fight is comedy gold! Thanks for including it.

5:45 Wheeeeeeee! Wait a second, wasn't the genie the one who was blue, not Alladin?
6:20 Ohhhhh, god. There goes the skydome. And Sonic does a 20000000000000 flip dive straight into the sea. 10/10
9:33 PLOT TWIST! Shadow is actually driving the mech :O
Chaos X, please, stop this nightmare
It's a shame, really. If Sonic Team were to remake Sonic 06, but with all the glitches fixed, improved gameplay and controls, better graphics, and the bestiality scene removed, I would probably buy it and play it in it's entirety.
***** I wish they had gotten it right the first time, but that was the past.
chimanruler15
Im happy that they did it this way. It showed sega that they shouldn't do that again
Joshua JJM12 Indeed. Sometimes, you have to hit rock bottom to get things back up again.
So basically if they made a completely different game.
***** But you knew what scene I was talking about so it doesn't matter. All that matters is that they remove it
2:56 WHAT IS THIS?! *WHAT IS THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!*
Game's bugs competition!
Sonic '06: I'm a UNFINISHED game and I have some no corrected bugs that makes people angry.
GTA San Andreas: I have many BETA content hidden in underworld and the game's files that makes people very angry and makes mods for unhide it in PC version.
PES 2013: I have annoying bugs and that makes me a BETA version :P
WWE SmackDown vs RAW 2011: My PS2 version makes people very, very angry with all my bugs and deleted contents, buy me in PS3 and Xbox360 for no problems. I won bitches!
I just bored and I make this. :P
Sonic Boom Wii U says Challenge Accepted.
Did this video used to have a different thumbnail back then? I think I remember it being just the block floating up in the sky. But I could be wrong.
This video is old enough that it predates CZcams letting you have custom thumbnails, so you're probably remembering that, yeah.
What version of ''His world'' is that?
6:40
With that violin melody?
"Solaris Phase 2" (it's also in the description)
I remember I used to defend this game and then a few years after that I tried the game and my mind immediately changed. 😅
Wow I am just baffled at the amount of Sonic fanboys in the comments section that actually blindly defended this broken mess of a game, considering we're talking about a game that almost KILLED the Sonic franchise & damaged the franchise's reputation really badly for just how broken & unplayable it is & was released on the year that was supposed to celebrate the franchise's 15, anniversary...Not to mention the fanboys poorly defending the glitches in this game by saying "Well, all games have glitches!" Yes it's true that all games have glitches, but not every game has mountain loads of glitches that are so broken, so easy to find & can ruin the experience for a lot of people like the glitches in 06. If that was the case, then critically acclaimed games like Mario Galaxy, Overwatch & Mass Effect 2 wouldn't have received game of the year awards...
it's not broken get a copy of it for ps3. Also, the movie the fanbase and sonic boom killed the games
@@PerfectGamerRBLX
The PS3 version still contains a bunch of random glitches. Just watch the Game Grumps playthrough of that game.
I still this day don't understand why people defend this game. It's such a mess that there are glitches in scripted moments.
What's the new of the song at the beginning? I know it's his world but what version?
I remember when last time i played this i was about to start the crisis city stage and i died before the level started. sonic died for no reason idk how that happened.
The only glitches in this game that bother me are the ones that cause unfair deaths.
sooo basically the whole game.
ChompCow Not every glitch in this game caused unfair deaths.

I don't like this game, but I don't think people who like it need help - it's their opinions, I respect them! However, it must still be acknowledged that Sonic 06 is still considered a bad game as it nearly destroyed the franchise and was ranked one of the mostly poorly developed game ever made - even Sega themselves admitted it was a huge embarrassment for them. But yeah, there's nothing wrong with liking a bad game :)

Your opinion =/= fact.
The enjoyment from a game depends on the PERSON'S gameplay experience, NOT your own. For example, most people had a glitchful run of Sonic 06. I, on the other hand, had FAR less glitches in my own run, thus, I enjoyed the game more.
Don't go around calling your opinion fact because that just makes you seem like a smartass who thinks that everything he believes in is fact. In my *_OPINION,_* Sonic Labyrinth is the worst Sonic game ever made. Does that mean anyone who likes it is wrong? No. Why? Because I'm not THEM. Saying an opinion is wrong, is wrong in itself.

Now, the fact that you said Sonic 06 was a game that nearly killed the franchise is FACT. It's a fact because it can be proven. An opinion is -something people on the internet can't handle because they think their opinions are fact- your own personal belief. I respect you for respecting the opinion on those who like the game.

I understand the hate this game gets, but to have someone shit on you because you find enjoyment in it isn't right.

I never found those issues to really be something that was seriously awful. Yes, Knuckles' combat is shit, Sonic's not TOO slow, the Billiard Puzzle is EASY if you take your time with Silver. Not EASY, but nowhere near as hard as people make it out to be.
Yes, Amy is a terrible character to play as, but you only play as her a few times. Same goes for Knuckles. I never really jumped into enemies, I always homing attack/spindash/slide/somersault into them. It's a fact that this game has bad coding, but even with bad coding, it's still possible to enjoy something. The best term I can give is that Ignorance is Bliss. I'm ignorant to the slowness, the bad combat with Shadow, and so on. I'm not saying you HAVE to like this game, but I'm saying that you shouldn't call someone's opinion wrong. If you hate it, alright, cool, I understand why.
ALL GLITCHES EXPLAINED
1. Getting stuck is not a glitch
The controls were badly programmed meaning that when you go on angled walls if you were hitting up and went on a wall you would get stuck because the programming is programmed for sonic on a wall to hit left or right when on walls to move forward
Many people don't even try to find out why this "glitch" happens so they just keep playing normally and crap like this happens to them
2. Again not a glitch
Bad programming again, they obviously put the speaking dialogue that tails says just a few steps after the hole with the switch
Meaning they should have put it more than a few steps and the other way! I'd have out it where search light is if anyone remembers where that is
The result to this error is when people normally would walk past the hole it would trigger tails to say that but even after you get the switch and walk to that trigger he says it :-/
3. A strange one definitely
It looks to be like there is a bug in the loop to loop, or a buggy area in a certain point that can lead to this glitch only if the characters is gliding on water and hits a particular point in the loop to loop at the right place, i think you need speed as well
4. clearly nobody knows a thing about the physics of the loop to loops.
they are magnets pretty much
if a character is on them, they cant get off them when running, but if standing still you can jump out of it, but not if your at the top of it at 2:00
bad programming yet again, and many other glitches can be performed using the magnet and none magnet platforms
if you think of it rails have magnets as well which is how another glitch is performed using the half magnet/none magnet glitch called the "level skip"
5. yet again bad programming
because there is a magnet not allowing sonic to move left or right he cant move at all and if sonic moves onto that loop to loop on the right side more the chance he will miss the speed ramps and run off and fall to death
or another glitch sonic hits 2 of the speed ramps at the same time which angles sonic differently which angles sonic directly leading him to the goal not needing to jump from wall to wall
or faster you can glitch yourself out of the magnet by jumping at a weak part of the magnet which is right at the end of the loop to loop and jump over the speed ramps and land into victory
6. not a glitch
a bug in sonics falling, normally when jumping you fall at a decent pace unable to move in the air
when sonic hits a speed ramp and doesn't move the D-Pad after hitting it, he will fall downward not moving forward at all leading to sonic land at that certain point which kills sonic, since running into walls leads to death, and since that wall is to long and sonic is unable to jump when hit, it leads to a death
if you are holding the D-Pad forward after hitting the speed ramp you should get a quick move in the air which leads to you moving to safety
you can only move when you begin to fall downward, you can move right as your about to it that fence which leads to a lucky close death
7. makes sense if you look at whats really happening
there are 2 things that kill sonic, having a physical kill or a falling kill
if a character is falling to death and lands on a solid they will then act as if they had a physical attack and say what ever they would say if they got hit, for sonic "ooh" "no"
since you standing on a solid ground when you run into the water he will try to sink/fall and since hes standing on a solid at the same time that leads to that weird death
but for the reason why he was standing and still moving
i think its because hes on terrain that has water which leads to slow moving death waiting to happen
8. again, look at the real picture
hes trying to jump off on an angle with the camera being on angle and knuckles trying to jump off while moving at the same time, this particular game is programmed weird, where you have to be still in order to jump out of magnet walls and or solids
i can tell you now that if he didn't move at all and hold the jump button for some time, he would jump off the wall
9. come on this is obvious
silver is programmed to pick up the enemy immediately after he does what he was doing, which was throwing sonic and because sonic loses rings where he gets thrown its an endless cycle
10. very bad programming in my opinion sadly
the vehicle can move to left right up and down which is programmed to a certain extent
unfortunately they didn't program it to stop at the solid terrain and the result is the vehicle going into the solids
11. this one is a bit interesting
the character is trying to get onto a rail while on 3 at the same time
left, right, and the current one that leads forward
because the your falling off and onto the rail constantly your able to move left and right and get that result and until the character faces a straight path for the character to follow or jumps, the glitch will remain
12. ive already explained. but ill explain it once more
he fell off for a good reason, you hit the the patch of ground that shoots lava out of
the reason why you fell off and didn't run over it is because, the patch is sticking out of the ground which is just a layer higher, and is a solid, so if ran on with an angle, you will fall!
13. a very interesting glitch
if any attack/friction i caused with this particular object at the right height and angle, you can make the object jump up, and the more faster you add friction to it, the more higher and faster you will get, and since sonic cant spin attack faster he can only go at a certain pace and this is the result
14. makes sense when you look at the real picture
he stands on 2 terrain solids at the same time leads to this, and since the camera follows sonic, this is the result
15. if sonic spin dashes a speed pad, he runs quite faster than normal and if sonic is angled towards a possible death
then the result is him keeping the current speed and falls off to death
and the reason why the speed randomly ends before he dies is because the time the speed pad was supposed to end, then happens and the speed he has ends just like that
16. the rock is a solid, and is an obstacle so obviously you can get hit and be killed
even though it shouldn't be an obstacle, it is a solid, which means it can me hit, and cause you to die
bad programming again
17. if there is a level with tails or knuckles or anyone that is playable in a level, then there will always be another sonic because after that character plays there part you normally go back to sonic, since the 1st sonic gets deleted a new sonic must be in the level meaning there are 2 sonics in other character levels
18. two things
1 the first launch is a homing attack glitch which is caused by a magnet and a none magnet glitch with the homing attack.
and since blaze's homing attacks are a bit different its a lot easier and or harder to do at different places
2 the reason he died is because when he hit the last spring obviously he was angled a bit wrong and the result was landing in the fall/hit death
19. this one is a bad character programming
when you first press to hover the first second it starts, obviously it doesn't move downward and if you repeat this by repeatedly tapping, you get that result
also 9:36 again its a trigger for shadow since your supposed to be shadow (what did you expect omega to say it) also sonic doesn't have any enemies because he is not supposed to be playing that part of level, you can only get there by WO skip glitch, and or purple gem/sky gem
I think that covers everything
thank you all for reading this long comment
+Chef Smugs
Bad programming caused the glitches
Plus it was rushed for time
They had mo time to to back and fix these
The saddest part is that this looks like it has the potential to be an awesome game, but it was fucked up so bad.
Could you imagine an alternate universe where sonic 06' was actually remotely good? That would be interesting
RiggityRekt I personally believe this is a good game story-wise. If the glitches had been taken care of, this would be my favourite Sonic game.
Ronihil I totally agree, but the game is so broken, its almost unplayable in some parts.
Seeing as how I strongly believe in the Multiverse, I can't help but imagine that being a possibility.
During my first play-through of the game, that sticky walls glitch got me so many times on all knuckles and rouge segments and twice during that play-through i got stuck there for about 15 minutes or so. I eventually figured out how to avoid it and escape it whenever it happened making playing those segments a lot less annoying for me.
About the physics part, in a cartoon of sonic called "sonic underground" sonic was standing still on the ceiling, physics dont apply to sonic when hes wearing his shoes
The fact that there are people who will defend this game is hilarious.
Sonic moves slow as shit, the controls are god damn impossible, the textures are shit, the environments are unfinished, the glitches are god damn endless, the animations are awful, the character designs/models are nightmarish, the voice acting is poorly done, the gameplay in general is unpolished and bad, and the convoluted, bestiality-filled, necrophilic, fanfiction quality shitshow of a "story" is so laughably bad it's almost funny.
You just can't defend this game. Plain and simple. You can like it all you want, but you cannot honestly look at this game and say "Yes, this is a good quality product, and deserving of praise.".
It is a terrible game, end of story. So don't even bother.
Why focus on the bad things? For every bad thing there must be something good like the music in sonic 06. And yes I am defending the game that's because I don't look at the bad things I look at the good things in life
there is a difference between blindly defending and intelligent defending(using evidence)
I love Sonic, but oddly enough, this one didn't feel right with me and I never bought it. When I bought Unleashed, I really enjoyed it and wondered why the 2006 game had been said to be such a bad game. The thought popped into my mind a few times to perhaps play it... I now finally went to check why it's so bad. I'm glad I never bought that game.
Sorry typo I meant cutscene
The title of this video is pretty misleading. Fuck Sega for naming this abomination after the original Sonic the Hedgehog.
Well, I have finally completed this game fully today. Got the last two silver medals after much faffing around.
I had to come back to watch this video as I liked it a while back and have seen a lot of these glitches. It's going to be the only reason I play the game now just to upload the randomness!
Without beating a dead horse, this game is VERY bad and could of been so much more. When finishing the game I looked back on the experience and have seen this game have so much potential.
The main gripe is obviously the bugs and glitches that happen as you play. I'll admit that there is fun to be had figuring out how to trigger them though.
I would love for this game to be redone but I believe SEGA doesn't want to even get a whiff of anything Sonic '06 related.
this video is older than most dream stans.
This game would have been awesome but this turned out to be the Worst thing ever made
The is the worst story in a Sonic game
Glitches and Bugs
The Controls
The Voice Acting sucks (Only Eggman and Blaze has good voice acting)
Rushed out to meet the 15th anniversary of Sonic when it could have been delayed to November 2007
Shiro Maekawa clearly favors Shadow (I don't hate Shadow but the title is called Sonic the Hedgehog not Shadow the Hedgehog 2) Shadow the Hedgehog wrapped up Shadow's character arc and this game should have opened a Character Arc for Silver and have Silver's character arc pick up from the Sonic Rivals games and still have Shadow in Sonic Rivals and introduce Him as a G.U.N Agent in the Sonic Rivals game. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Silver, Eggman, Elise and Mephiles would have been better for Sonic 06.
Mephiles is one of the worst characters right next to Big the Cat, Omochao, Elise, Marine the Raccoon, Black Doom and Infinite
I can't believe years later that Sonic Fanboys would defend this trash when this game came out Sonic was a laughing stock on the internet with games like This, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders, Sonic Rivals 1, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Rivals 2, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Sonic Chronicles the Dark Brotherhood and Sonic and the Black Knight (yeah Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure where good). If it was not for Sonic Unleashed HD I would have given up on Sonic and We got games like Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations and Sonic Mania/Sonic Mania Plus. Yeah there was Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, Sonic Free Riders, Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal, Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 2, Sonic Lost World (I kinda like the Wii U/PC versions of the game 3DS version sucks), Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystals and Sonic Forces. But Sonic 06 did so much damage not only to the series and gave birth to the Sonic Cycle. But made the Fanbase one of the worst Fanbases on the Internet right next to Super Smash Bros. Fanbase at that time (Yeah the Sonic Fanbase sucks from Recolors, Furries, Archie Fanboys bashing IDW for not having the Freedom Fighters and Rule 34)
The only good thing about Sonic 06 is the Music and Shadow kicking Silver
This is the stigma that killed any passion in the series so now we have baby games with classic pandering and awful shallow stories or straight up unfunny
What song is that at 7:15?
2:00 O.o???
I've never played this game myself. Is it really THAT bad?
Maybe they can make a remaster can clean up these bugs.....
Darkkefka yea, I've played it, the game really is that bad.
sonic 06?
The game had a good story and a really great villain but the gameplay was terrible I cannot count how many times I had fall off when I was running on the side of building or platform it would be great if they did a remaster and get rid all of the bugs and glitches.
Oh it is Sonic 06
+Darkkefka My friend had this game, and I borrowed it for a bit. It's a broken mess. And to be honest, a lot of Sonic games are broken messes. A Sega Sonic collection of remasters of broken Sonic games would sell well, especially if it actually fixed all the bugs and made the games playable.
It's a shame. Such a good series gone to waste.
Honestly the worst thing about 06 isn't the actual game itself,but how people are acting towards people who have a different opinion on the game,there are people who are literally shaming you for thinking it's good,treating their opinion as if it were fact,and calling you delusional for thinking otherwise. Jesus Fucking Christ,chill,why can't people just like the game without being publicly crucified for it? That closing statement is awful too,stop treating people like they're crazy because they like a game YOU don't,and how about you stop treating others like shit for saying it's good,and stop acting like they "fooled themselves into thinking otherwise". Jesus,the hate of a game can seriously bring out the worst in people
Amen. people treat this game like it's the cause for WW2. it's a video game, an inanimate object.
Yeah, he doesn't feel the same way he did 10 years ago.
The funny aspect is that none of the gltiches ever seem to happen to anyone else unless you activly go out of your way to make it hapen
+Undead Fred Speak for yourself. Why would I want to intentionally impede my progression?
What happend with the animation Sonic should have in the minute 10:11 ? why he don't have it in the minute 10:21 ?
Funny how parts of the Sonic fanbase still to this day try to defend this shitty game.
It is as if Sonic fans would literally eat shit if eating shit was a Sonic game.
Videos are now able to be as long as they want, you can literally pass 1 hour. You should definitely go ahead and uncover all the flaws. I'd love to see that!
Unfortunately, if you read the description, at the end of one of the paragraphs, it says "there are no plans to make a sequel video (please, don't make me play this game anymore)"
RedstarMario Lantin I'm responding like this as it wouldn't let me reply to your comment. This video was uploaded in 2010 back when 11 minutes was all CZcams would give you for a video - they might give you longer now, but this was 2010
Another bug that was seriously game breaking was how when light dashing through a line of rings he'd just stop mid-air, with rings in front, and fall to his death...
I'm not going to like or dislike this. For 2 reasons (a reason for each):
1. Not going to like because this game is my favourite game ever.
2. Not going to dislike because I was laughing through the entire thing.
One of the most horrible games I've ever tried, but at least the soundtrack was pretty good.
things i agree are bad design:
stuck and can't move
teleporting is fun (even though it never happened to me)
when scripted scenes go wrong
falling short (happens on occasion to me)
instantly drowning in hip deep water (also forgot to mention some sand kills you others don't)
lava bath from same glitch
camera seizure thing
radical train scripted loop fling (happens to me alot)
wow getting stuck on rocks like that. oof (never happened to me but looks terrible)
landing on solid ground but considered dead (unleashed has a couple instances like this too )
teleport to script error
broken design:
omega infinite hover
flying to moon on box (fun to do but shouldn't happen)\
things that could be bad :
standing upside down on loop de loop
sticky walls (if you can't go to safe ground to get off a wall)
silver vs sonic ( i don't know how often it can happen so thats why i put that one here)
grind out frustration
minor screw ups:
seeing double
you mean the switch i just activated?
overall i say i'd agree with you
I remember some old comments were just calling you a bad player. lmao.
As much as I hated this game back in the day it now feels really nostalgic and I wouldn't take the flaws it had seriously anymore but rather see them as a part of its character
It’s amazing how low the standards have dropped progressively since Unleashed
Even if Sonic 06 didnt have those glitches, it would have still been the worse Sonic game ever.... thanks alot SEGA, they just had to make Elise kiss Sonic. WTF is with that?!?!
6:40 song?
Have you tried out the new fan remake project 06? it should be better now.
Silver: -it's no use
Sonic:- Ahhh (gets a ring)
Silver: - it's no use.
After more than 1000x ~:
Silver:- it's no use.
Sonic:- how much time do you need to kill me? 1000 years?
Silver:- It's no use
LOL O_o
I don't get it... its not like sonic was a second rate game that you cant invest a little bit more to fix these glitches... ppl love sonic and if a good sonic game came out, it would sell, A LOT... I loved this game when it comes to story and characters, its fun to play if you can avoid the glitches... so why not just fix the glitches and put out a game that isnt half made...
whos he? Im not talking about what 'he' said. I'm just talking about Sonic games generally. Saying its a popular franchise, and maybe if the game wasn't put out half made, people will enjoy it. I don't understand why the series has been so crappy recently.
Victor Nascimento Not really recently as mcuh because generations, colors, unleashed were all good. Lost world was okay and sonic boom looks great
Si just hate when the snow board gets stuck I can't move and it gets annoying
And I can't beat lava core or what ever it's called because of that falling of the side of the valcano glitch
10:10 is that your footage? or did you grab this from another video I'm haven't seen
because i've seen the same clip in SO many videos, here for an example czcams.com/video/lDby2hq_5iY/video.html at the time 4:33
+JeraCyclo Daniel My video came out in 2010, the video you linked was released in 2014. I pride myself on being able to capture all my footage by myself, and if I do have to take it from somewhere else, I always give credit.
BlazeHedgehog fair enough
Awful story, cringeworthy dialogue, GAME BREAKING glitches, tedious gameplay that resorts to spamming the homing attack half the time, boring bosses, TERRIBLE side missions and ridiculous loading times. Man, people either have low standards or they've played shit games their entire life if they accept this game as good.
Don't give me the "it was rushed" excuse either. If SEGA were on a tight schedule they should have spent more time refining the gameplay and less time making pointless hub worlds and side missions that no one cared about.
This! This right here! Clement said it best in his review, even though they were on a tight schedule, they might have finished the game if they didn't waste time developing stupid and pointless things like breaking numbered boxes as part of a math equation, walking a fucking dog (Really Sonic Team?), playing tag with a bunch of asshole kids, dropping apples in barrels, playing guessing games with the guards, defeating robots we've been defeating all game, the list goes on. Let's not forget shit like Silver's god awful ball puzzle, the unbalanced, uninspired multiplayer, or the End of the World level. Even if Sonic Team wasn't rushed to make this game, we still would've had to contend with this garbage.
ChaosX: Allow to reestructure every possible part of this indefinite mess.
ok i heard that sega force sonic team to release it before it was finished but i'm curious why did they force to finish it?
The game was always meant to be released by Christmas 2006. They just dealt with some serious development issues along the way, most of which were their own fault. The original director Yuji Naka resigned from Sonic Team to create his own video game studio, and later, it was decided that Sonic Team be split into two groups, one to finish work on 06, and the other on an upcoming Sonic game for the Wii (Sonic and the Secret Rings). However, 06 was too big of a project for half a development team, so instead of pushing the deadline to a later point in time, the game was rushed out for the holiday season. As a result, a bunch of extra content was scrapped and the game was never tested for bugs and glitches.
Translation: Sega and Sonic Team were in way over their heads.
Alright putting the glitches and bugs aside...would you enjoy the game if it were fixed? Just wondering lol i only experienced the beach glitching on ps3
It's a shame because I think this game would have been way cooler if SEGA had fixed the bugs and...well...actually FINISHED IT.
Much like the Wii-U, Sonic 06=epic rush-fail, but good concept.
I don't know what you are talking about when you said WiiU. I don't see any glitches or bugs. I honestly don't see any problem with it either, maybe other than the short battery life, but you can just keep it plugged in.
Are you serious?
Other people have different feelings y'know :/
This is why Star Fox Zero is delayed, Nintendo doesn't want to end up having their final product look like this.
Help! I’m stuck to a wall and I can’t jump off!
Okay in not defending this game but when I played the game I didnt find any of these glitches I tried to do them in the Xbox but I kept failing to do them and the one where u do that circle the characters always fall down If I didnt run lol
