Sonic Boom Knuckles infinite jumping glitch found: Can skip 80% of game. 1hr speedrun

I haven't played Sonic since Sonic3 and Knuckles. Anyone wanna fill me in on the plot between then and now?

"So, just to clarify: We're defeating the villain we never released by re-obtaining the crystals we never got. Then, Shadow will come out of nowhere for no reason. We finish with everyone deciding to be equal members of a team when Knuckles did all of the work."

Brilliant.
 
The entire game is sub 30 in a lot of places, not just these speedrun areas.

Oh wow then. lol.


Also, I didn't know Metal Sonic was in this. He actually looked good (compared to how bad the other designs are).

Also, I know this is a speed run and skipping a bunch of the game so not much music is getting played but does anyone find it super generic. Like, generic adventure style music. Even 06 had some great tracks in it. Sonic games usually have great music if nothing else.
 
God damn, that ending... What the -

Welp, time to hook up the Genesis and play Sonic 2, 3 and Knuckles. I need to get the filth of that stream off my brain.
 
There were almost as many production babies as actual staff, and there were more "special thanks" people than actual staff and production babies combined. What happened?
Special thanks is code for "no longer employed but had code in game so we gave them a mention"
 
Like Robo/Eggy said "Boom a hit!"

I'm gonna instead "Dodge this!"

But one thing is for sure, this entry sure is going to do "A lot of damage!" to Sonic's tattered image.
 
Some really incredible next-gen collision detection during that last boss fight. Former Naughty Dog right? Right. Sonic deserves better than this.
I'm actually dumbstruck former Naughty Dog people pushed out such a broken piece of shit.

One of the co-founders of BRB who was involved with the gameplay of Crash and Jak & Daxter left the company and is now with Blizzard. The 2 remaining Ex-ND members only worked on art/animation. Nothing else.

It seems like people think majority of the staff worked at ND or was involved with the gameplay of Crash/Jak & Daxter for some reason. Where did this come from?
 
Is... is he gonna replay it again?


Why would any sane person do this

He's a speed runner so obviously no sane person.

I expect that people will find even more glitches and this will be a pretty entertaining game come Awesome Games Done Quick.

And to think, with Colours and Generations we all thought "his aim is getting better!"

EDIT: Oh shit. Knuckles says something about a "creepy tomb" and finds the team in a T pose!

You didn't fail fast enough mate. (Yes, I'm taking his quote very much out of context. Still found it very funny when I read up on the guy).

Metal is the best and only good thing about this game, he doesn't speak, chases down sonic, his battle is rather simple but he does some of his sonic cd like attacks, then that's it.

Now that is an apropos quote. When I think of failing fast, I think of Sonic.
