    You don't need to use the light speed dash to change the ship formation. If you go to the locked door on the roof, you can clip through the wall by spindashing against it and, with the right reaction time, you can hit the load zone behind the locked door which will take you right into the control room.

      When I was a kid I had this one save file that I played up to the point where Tails goes to the past, and I made sure *not* to get the Rhythm Badge. I did this because I wanted permanent access to explore every map, and that's the one area you can't go back to after completing the game.

  • @Legoluigi26

    Some other CZcamsr and I actually tried this challenge a few years ago too, and we got stuck on the monkey part too. The thing about it is you can spin dash up the mountain, but there is a huge invisible wall above the loading zone that makes it almost impossible to get without the light speed attack.
    I speculate that may be done to prevent ruining your save file, since if you entered the level without opening the door, it would be closed when you leave, thus preventing progression past Red Mountain.

  • @Hyndsyte2020
    @Hyndsyte2020 Před 2 lety +19

    I had a feeling the Shovel Claw was going to be required, but I thought it was just because emerald shards will spawn underground; I completely forgot Knuckles has to use it to access two whole levels.

  • @MysticRL
    @MysticRL Před 2 lety +45

    I remember a speedrunner explaining that killing the monkey activates the zone load trigger, so you have to kill it if you want to enter red mountain. Though there might be an undiscovered way to kill it without the ancient light.

  • @lemonadesnake
    @lemonadesnake Před 10 měsíci +2

    Red Mountain’s loading zone is actually only usable IF the monkey is destroyed, so even if you could go back there you would be trapped in there, as you cannot go to the level.

    Ironic that the one character whose story can be beaten without upgrades is also the one character you can't unlock without at least one upgrade.
    - Tails is unlocked after Sonic's Emerald Coast
    - Knuckles is unlocked after his fight with Sonic and Tails
    - Amy is unlocked by Sonic after Sky Chase 1, Tails after the Gamma fight, or Gamma after watching Beta's disassembly
    - Gamma is unlocked by Sonic and Tails after fighting him, Amy after Twinkle Park, Knuckles after Lost World, or Big after Emerald Coast
    - Big is unlocked after beating Chaos 6 as Sonic, or talking to Tikal as Tails

    i know for a fact that it isn’t possible because i’ve tried before, and the loading zone for red mountain doesn’t trigger if you don’t kill the monkey. not even running up the cliffside to skip the door works

    I'd watched a Ringless challenge for this game and it turns out that you CAN get to the bridge to change the shape of the Egg Carrier. You have to go through the pool room and use the entrance there. Normally, you'd have to move the chair first and it would allow a passage back to the pool, but if you go in from there instead, you can access the bridge and the chair is already pushed forward so you can enter.

    I remember doing this back when I was kid. And I was able to get up to lost world. I can’t believe the second part is what I needed lol, I though that’s where I needed the light speed shoes.
    I don’t remember how I got rid of the money, but I remember it was a pain. As for the ship formation is possible after a few tries with the spin dash.

    I casually speedrun sonic's story, and there's an easy way to get the casinopolis button I always use. Free cam, use that same stair slope you used to get on the train tube and just spindash jump directly to the button, you'll have more than enough oomph to reach it

    Gonna hit you with a like and hope to see SA2 soon. Watch challenge videos online for SA2, to help you understand the available skips. If you get stuck, you'll find good advice around. Might take more research though, and the game has some nasty skips, but do your best or borrow footage to prove the point if need be. Looking forward to it.

    @nuehoujuu7503 Před 2 lety +1

    From having tried on my own for fun before, I'm pretty sure there's only 4 upgrades that are needed to beat SA2, though personally speaking I've only been able to do it with 5 due to one being really difficult to skip without knowing how to do a specific speedrunning trick to skip the level its in. Not unless there's another way to skip Crazy Gadget that I'm unaware of.

    • @Kakarotta17
      @Kakarotta17  Před 2 lety

    • @nuehoujuu7503
      @nuehoujuu7503 Před 2 lety

      @@Kakarotta17 Yeah, I was trying that for fun one day as a fun way to replay SA2, and I found that you can skip all but the two Booster upgrades and the Digging upgrades. The Boosters, well, so much of the later mech levels are based around you having it (Cosmic Wall immediately comes to mind), and for Pumpkin Hill and Egg Quarters, the game will always have one piece require them until you pick it up. So you could at least pick it up, reset the level and not use, but it's not possible to skip it.
      From there, the other upgrades are actually skippable. Both Bazookas can be skipped since you can clip out of Eternal Engine and skip it, and you can get around Weapon's Bed and Eggman's later levels without it. Similarly, the Hammer Gloves can be skipped since you can clip out of the first room in Death Chamber, and for Mad Space, you can avoid the Iron Boots through some simple gliding to another planet.
      Personally, I tried to see how many Emblems I could get throughout all the stages with the minimal amount of upgrades and though I'd need to go check how many I ended up with, I know a good majority of them are obtainable.
      I just wish I could do Crazy Gadget Skip so I could find a way to bypass the Flame Ring and that one difficult jump to pass the one light speed dash segment.
