Where's my GOLDROCK at?

 

[Platy]

...which reminds me ...

There was any WR this marathon ?

Anything close ?

 

[Tizoc]

Boo! Boo this sound glitch!

 

[Dimmle]

he's pronouncing the word "hydrocity" wrong

 

[TheSlySoul]

With the music off, the bomb ship sound effect is really annoying!

 

[evilalien]

I think 2 is the best of the Genesis 4.

Sonic 3+Knuckles is the superior game.

 

[Tizoc]

lol it even plays the Act 1 Boss theme XD.

 

[Dragon]

I think you meant to say "amazing" there.

No it's not.

 

[J@hranimo]

Blowing through Sonic 3&K with Tails

Best Sonic game

 

[Tizoc]

Blowing through Sonic 3&K with Tails

Best Sonic game

aMONG THe original series, Tails is obv. the best of the trio~

 

[TheSlySoul]

Bounce Spikes is such a troll move.
Also Knuckles boss using Tails, nice!

Is this game a bit of a black sheep in the classic Sonic fan community? I feel like it's always mentioned in hushed tones while Sonic 2 and Sonic CD are upheld as paragons of the franchise. I really, really like Sonic 3 and I don't even like most Sonic games.

 

[Mesoian]

WELL THEN...!

I have...never seen this glitch.

It's a fantastic game, but it has the worst pixel art of any of the 2D sonics. I have no idea why they decided they needed to redraw Sonic from how he looked in Sonic 2 and Sonic CD. He just looks bad.

Everything else about it is totally solid and S3+K is pretty damned amazing.

Uh no.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles is usually regarded as the best.

I'm not liking these skips much, I mean they're funny but I'd rather a normal speedrun @_@

No, not really from what I can tell.

people who like cd best are most certainly a minority

otherwise i'd say the majority are split between 3&k and 2, leaning toward the former

 

[Dimmle]

Uh no.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Man, never realized how sick these carnie beats are.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I must be in the minority then because I love Sonic CD.

Also wow so many level skip glitches.

 

[Tizoc]

...that ice Cap skip

 

[demidar]

This game is broke as heck.

 

[jman2050]

This game is so incredibly broken it's actually hilarious.

 

[Dimmle]

That bird glitch!

Tails nooooooooooooooo

 

[Tizoc]

Dat Big Arm Boss Fight theme.
EDIT: Oh wait that plays early in Sonic 3 only :V

 

[Xrenity]

Haha these guys know so much about this shit. Fun to watch.

 

[Dimmle]

Amazing music in this game.

I'm going to start referring to things as "optimal." Soundtrack in this game is so optimal.

In regards to the best Sonic game, this is usually the one that is mentioned with Sonic 2 as a close second.

In regards to the music however....yeah that's where it tends to get a bit awkward with the Michael Jackson credits.

 

[TheSlySoul]

How did the door not smash him? Ha ha ha!

Glad you're liking it, S3&K's OST is phenominal.

[Dimmle]

If I leave to get another cup of tea will the run be over

I'm nervous

 

[entremet]

I think Sonic and Knuckles music is subpar compared Sonic 3 Vanilla.

 

[J@hranimo]

I'm surprised he's legitimately playing Mushroom Hill Act 2 lol.

 

[Dimmle]

Flying Battery? Sky Sanctuary?

nononononono

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Damn.

Shame that Sonic Genesis system is a model 2.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Tails, are you alright buddy?

 

[Tizoc]

Dat sprite frame <3

Also F. Battery act 1's theme is kickass.

 

[J@hranimo]

Uh...Tails? TAILS?!?!?

 

[Niraj]

lol awesome

 

[Tizoc]

Yo don't do that risky thing!
DON'T DO THE RISKY THING!

 

[TheSlySoul]

What is with that background?
Hug me, I'm scared!

 

[entremet]

Flying Battery? Sky Sanctuary?

nononononono

I'll give you those. But Sonic 3 is basically 6 for 6 me on awesome Zone music

Mushroom Hill and Sandopolis are pretty mediocre tracks. Sonic 3 also has higher highs--Hydrocity, Ice Cap.

Whats funding up to with humblebundle, etc? I'm at work and can't check.

Humblebundle.com
Has a bundle on sale, for at least $10 you get 7 games.

oooohhh, agree to disagree

 

[Tizoc]

oooohhh, agree to disagree

Sandopolis is a great theme IMO, at least Act 1.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Stream is saying $401,000 I assume that includes the bundle.

Now don't let the total payments on the humble bundle page of $368,384.39 mislead you because the the splits can be customized and by default 20% goes to prevent cancer and if you pay more than $30, $20 is deducted for the physical items cost.

Er thanks, but I mean what's the fund raising total at for them, they usually announce it and its higher than what the stream says due to humble bundle not being included on the stream. $401,000 on the stream is nuts. I'm assuming the total is over 500k

 

[Dimmle]

Sandopolis is a great theme IMO, at least Act 1.

Yeah, I really enjoy Act 1's theme. And Act 2 is spoooooky.

 

[Tizoc]

^My bad, starwolf explained better ^^;

Lava Reef Act 1's music is great, love how 'calm' its overall tune is.

 

[Revven]

Stream is saying $401,000 I assume that includes the bundle.

It does not, it is only the donation tracker based on the donations directly to the charity.
