[TAS] Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog "no zips" by Aglar in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2011-12-19
Fast bouncing around. This is a run of Sonic the Hedgehog which avoids zipping (gaining a large speed boost from being inside terrain), unlike the other run of this game ( tasvideos.org/... ). Therefore, most levels cannot be skipped, and instead have to be traversed using a more normal route, although the author still finds a couple of alternative methods to take shortcuts (it is hard to define hard rules to ban all glitches). In this run, the game is completed without collecting the Chaos Emeralds.
There are also runs where Knuckles ( tasvideos.org/... ) and Tails ( tasvideos.org/... ) they take advantage of their own abilities to finish the game in record time.
This movie has a full Atlas Map encode ( • [TAS] Sega Atlas: Soni... ), which shows a camhack encode overlaid on a zoomed out map.

Wow, that bouncing on Green Hill Act 3 was crazy. Just when I thought Sonic would land, he just bounced more and more!

[@akalyx]

yeah that was good...i love when devs put stuff like that in games

[@dragonexpert8323]

One of the GDQs a person did it in real time instead of a TAS. I can't remember the runner off-hand. It looks insanely difficult.

[@theteyoman]

And landed on Eggman like he was least expecting it lol

[@The_SOB_II]

Thank you

[@cotcot8965]

@@dragonexpert8323 it’s actually really easy lol

[@kbxthegamemaster06]

It's refreshing to see a Sonic TAS where the game DOESN'T get destroyed.

[@theinsanegamer1024]

16:16 he's vibrating his molecules at the right frequency, allowing him to phase through solid matter.

[@ShiningProdigyTAS]

Just for you guys wondering. Going through walls while not off camera is not a zip. If you are off camera it’s a zip.

[@DarkShamilKhan]

If you are too fast that isn't a zip. Meaning off screen fast

[@josejurado5906]

I'm still waiting for the day, when someone decides to make the "no-zips" versions of Sonic 2 and 3

[@dj_anthon]

Skill TASes are the best! Thank you!

[@ReaverPrime]

Now this is what I like to see! Runs of full levels. I'm what you'd call a gaming tourist. I like seeing level/world design in its fullest and seeing how game characters interact with those worlds. Zips, glitches, and warps aren't any fun to watch because you skip out on alot of that world design.

[@jovi_al]

My preferences do not align with yours and that is ok! I do like seeing glitches and zips and warps and all that, but runs like this are equally as impressive to me. Glad you enjoyed the video!

I hate you for letting the timer play out. but I get it

[@SansViBritannia]

You must go to hospital ngl

[@trionhd7223]

Very satisfying, this shows pretty much everything I would hope for in a TAS like this

[@JaJaBings]

one of my favourite games on genesis. thank you! 💟💟💟

[@Oujo3]

@11:32 and @11:42
Look at him go!
He hop
He bop
Most importantly, he don't stop.

[@Bron275G]

7:29 I always find it funny when he attempts to jump into the Special Stage ring and the game immediately cuts to the next act before the Special Stage can appear.

[@Damariobros]

When I played Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles as a small child, the things that kept killing me over and over and over again were timing out and drowning.

SONIC HAS
PASSED

[@magnumd-pad5138]

Marble Zone looked like a Russian parkour video. O.O

[@MasterAnakinSkyWalker]

You beat labyrinth zone 3 with zero rings. That’s impressive. Kudos.

[@SparkyMK3]

I had no idea the "shortcuts" in GHZ actually slow you down, nor that there was a secret route in Marble Zone Act 3! It still irks me that it's impossible to get that "Under 30 seconds point bonus" in many Sonic 1 levels without outright cheating, but at least I know it's just barely possible to beat GHZ Act 3 in 30 seconds now.

[@rafaelogenio819]

Now this is fun to watch. Thanks whomever did the TAS. Im saying this because there is a garbage Sonic TAS which skips all the game by glitching it, and theres no fun in that.

[@RainLion10]

Well the goal in TAS is to beat the game as fast as you can, so I don't think it's _that_ bad.

[@rodonic01]

I don't know if we will have "All Chaos Emeralds" TAS of this game...

[@ezgames6925]

not yet

@@ezgames6925 What if we made it :point_right: :point_left:

I think there is a very old one on web nations channel

Well aglar obsoleted his other run. Good for him
Edit: this was made in 2011

[@ezgames6925]

This isn’t a new run, read the description

[@TheBoxGamePL]

Like Sonic The Hedgehog yeeey

[@jblazer9804]

I thought everybody played sonic this way....must be my old clips from the 90s that "they" converted into hi-def. Bastards. Lol
Join Sonquanon. Hahahaha.
Obviously kidding here.

TRY AGAIN
Now that's cocky.

[@retro3188]

He needed all the emeralds, which I’m not sure you’d have time for in a TAS.

[@prosewolf]

@@retro3188Understood, but it's cocky for Eggman to say Try Again after he just had his butt handed to him in record time.
He should just be handing over the chaos emeralds with an apology instead, then retire and become a bus driver.

[@retro3188]

@@prosewolf The person who utterly *beat* Eggman needed the emeralds, but this works too!

Nice, I hate zips 🤐

neat...not that impressive for TAS, i must say...my favorite part was when he went fast, tho
@ 1:41 , 1:50, 9:03 was impressive...

This is how I imagined StH when I bought it. (I had Altered Beast as a pack in instead) This game is a boring big empty nothing as with all sonic games.
