TAS speed runs show off exploitable glitches and/or mechanics and how fast a stage can truly be completed while abusing glitches and/or mechanics to its maximum potential. Plus they're fun to watch.
in sonic CD, you can time travel, and to do this you have to activate signs saying Past or future on them by running past them. after u activate them, u have to maintain fast speed to travel in time, and the stars coming out of sonic is the games way of telling you your maintaining speed to travel through time
No, as it stated at the beginning, this is a TOOL ASSISTED RECORDING. He uses slowdown, savestates, rewinds, etc to pull off pixel perfect runs without the limits of human ability to stand in the way.
@TheSonicGod i totally agree, the music was AWESOME, the levels were unique, the time-travel was different but it was "atmosphere" that made it so good. The thing that annoyed me about the game is that the bosses were too easy. i felt there wasn't enough challenges.
While I certainly believe that this is some of the best music Sonic had to offer, I was not 100% convinced that this was the best Sonic game, although, I do feel it is quite awesome. The music in the beginning was also heard in Sonic Adventure during special events.
@mentalrectangle It certainly did have the best level artwork, but the only parts that felt unfinished to me were the physics (which were wonky in places) and the final boss.
I'm pretty sure this is canon since Sonic would do it this fast and for the fact that in both Generations and Sonic 4 it shows Stardust Speedway's bad future.
If you want to complete the game 100%, you have to go into the past to destroy a machine to create a good future by running past the signs, you can go back in time
Nice. And..I'm one of the weird people who likes *both* soundtracks--though I marginally like 'Sonic Boom' better than 'Toot Toot Sonic Warrior', partly because that was the one I heard first, and partly because it sounds, for lack of a better term, more 'serious'. I'd love to see a 'megamix' that lets you not just select between the two versions, but set them for each level. :-)
Fusion 3.64 and my OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. I also decided to use the American game file (Sega CD Boot instead of MegaCD) but replace the music with the EUR/JAP music instead. It was still doing the same thing with the American anyways. The BIOS I am using is "Sega CD Model 2 V2.00W". The Japanese one is "Mega CD Model 1 V1.01" and the EUR is "Mega CD Model 1 V1.00"
Woah! Thanks for uploading that gread vid... brings back memories. But why is the music so different from the one I know? Although it's unusual, it still fits the game, doesn't it?
.iso files can't store audio tracks, only data, so either you'll need to use an emulator that supports separate .mp3 tracks, or you'll need to burn the .iso and the .mp3s as separate audio tracks onto a new disc. Alternatively, you could try to find a download in .bin + .cue format (instead of .iso and .mp3 format), as that does store the audio files... but since that's larger than storing the audio as separate .mp3 files, it's a bit less common to find.
One commenter here said that the "sega geneis" was messed up, and another person replied "What is this "sega geneis" you speak of!?"... So I jokingly replied that it was the US name for the "sega megadrie", since the name of the Sega Genesis everywhere outside the US is "Sega Megadrive".
You mean on the sonic gems collection? Then yes, the sonic CD megadrive has EU/JPN soundtrack and the US has their own soundtrack. Also seriously the US soundtrack isn't THAT bad, just give it a chance really, i hated the US soundtrack as well but i gave it a chance and i now like it a lot, sure the JP soundtrack sounds cheerful and cool but the US also sounds really good too!
No, that's the thing. I have that up and running, and everything is running as it should. My only problem is that there's a 3 second delay in almost all the music. Most noticeable when I pick up Power Sneakers or Invincibility. It's actually extremely irritating.
@2553065 Well, baasically theres this time travel mechanic in the game,right?So they let you travel either to the past of the level or the future and if you destroy a certain machine in the past you get a different lwvel in the future and the 3rd level is always set in the future but if the sign dissapears you have to find anmother sign and go maximum speed for a few seconds and then you're in the alternate time zone but you have to destroy the machine in the past of BOTH acts to create a cont.
@allicx96 to get a good futer in every zone u have to go back in time (get a past and time travel) and destroy a machine in the level. not badniks but a machine. all levels have em exept boss if u get good future in other 2 the boss has a good future, but u can also get all time stones and u are garentteed the good ending.

I love how at the end of Stardust Speedway 1, he just stands there, waiting for the camera, then casually walks away...
03:55 After skipping Robotnik like a boss, he finishes the Zone moonwalking like a boss.
I'm shocked and appalled to see that wacky workbench can be finished in under 30 seconds
sonic was doing the moonwalk at the end of the 2 zone act 3
My reaction with the Collision Chaos 1 Speed.
O_O
Hell, he went so fast in CC2 that he broke the damn sign!
Really fast! This isn't my favorite game of Sonic, but i have to admit that played this way is wonderful to see!

amy: ...
This is a great video! :-)
And awesome, how played under 17:30.
Truly the fastest I've seen Sonic go....
12:15 - 12:23 - Camera: HEY, WAIT UP! SLOW DOWN!!
Sonic: Catch me if you can!!
14:20 LEL METAL SONIC DIED BY RUNNING INTO NOTHING
Or, he malfunctioned.

I love TAS videos for some reason

The metal sonic fight was absolutely hilarious. XDDDD

12:17 New meaning to "Stardust Speedway"
"Work that sucker to d-"
[finishes game in 17:28]
"D'oh..."
While I certainly believe that this is some of the best music Sonic had to offer, I was not 100% convinced that this was the best Sonic game, although, I do feel it is quite awesome.
The music in the beginning was also heard in Sonic Adventure during special events.
@EnsignN7 That is taken from a song called "Work that sucker to death".
omg the running animation is fantastic
In essence, maybe. But they are called "Time Stones" in this game, having different origin and use than the Chaos Emeralds.
That was some intense work at Stardust Speedway.
@mentalrectangle It certainly did have the best level artwork, but the only parts that felt unfinished to me were the physics (which were wonky in places) and the final boss.
On Collision Chaos Zone Act 2, he has gone so fast that he broke the sign post.
has GOTTA GO FAST gone so far?
I'm pretty sure this is canon since Sonic would do it this fast and for the fact that in both Generations and Sonic 4 it shows Stardust Speedway's bad future.
Aqua Nioh no, good ending is canon. In generations eggman undid all of sonics wins which is why it shows bad future.
This vid really shows how ownage the Figure 8 peelout was.
PEELOUT FOR NEXT SONIC GAME!
*seisure* soooooo fast you beat this game at sonic speed XD
Its a sample taken from an old song, its "work that sucker to death"
If you want to complete the game 100%, you have to go into the past to destroy a machine to create a good future
by running past the signs, you can go back in time
Theres only one thing I have to say about this Tool Assisted Run.
"YES!"
"When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit."
It's possible. yes
wow. you are really really good at this!
The US version DOES have a final boss theme. Just listen carefully.
There's only one sad thing about this video, and that's that I don't get to listen to the awesome music of this game for very long.
I can see him doing a Good Future run in about half an hour. He's THAT fast
The European version had the same music as the Japanese version too, however the European version of Sonic Gems Collection has the US soundtrack.
That last boss is a doozy. When I see even a speed runner struggle with it I don't feel so bad.
Me: Oh great Nitsuja...teach me how to be as brilliant as you...
Nitsuja: Okay, first things first, we need to exorcize those thumbs...
Wow, this game has some AWESOME music! =D
Nice. And..I'm one of the weird people who likes *both* soundtracks--though I marginally like 'Sonic Boom' better than 'Toot Toot Sonic Warrior', partly because that was the one I heard first, and partly because it sounds, for lack of a better term, more 'serious'.

this is one of the best sonic games ever made!
I told you that if you try these it should run without delay, it's just that it will ALSO have better audio quality!
The "geneis" isn't the only one with an emulator that has a TAS feature.
We have officially found the God of Speed-Runs people (well sonic speedruns.)
*bows*
"Tat system"?? My god... your technology... it is far beyond anything I have ever seen...
In the boss theme, are they saying, "Work that magic thang!"?
.iso files can't store audio tracks, only data, so either you'll need to use an emulator that supports separate .mp3 tracks, or you'll need to burn the .iso and the .mp3s as separate audio tracks onto a new disc.

This is my favorite Sonic game of all time!!! and the music is awsome
Wassup Rogue, you should try a TAS of the Sonic Rush Games, you know, just to see how it would come out. I think you would do good. What you think?
0:29-0:32, OK, THAT just broke so many physics, i'm not even BELIEVING it broke so many physics.....
this game is so weird when you're used to playing the original 1991 game.
One commenter here said that the "sega geneis" was messed up, and another person replied "What is this "sega geneis" you speak of!?"... So I jokingly replied that it was the US name for the "sega megadrie", since the name of the Sega Genesis everywhere outside the US is "Sega Megadrive".
Sonic: HURRY UP CAMERA! YOUR RUINING IT FOR EVERYONE!
@likelylike
Would rather listen to "90's commercial music" or that demonic soundtrack from the U.S. version?
i remember going so fast S3&k on the volcano stage that the level tripped out and i somehow lost a life.
This is absolutely insane! On a side note, are you the same rogueyoshi I see in Marvel tournaments?
It refers to the soundtrack that was only in that version.
Lokk clsely @ 2:03. Why is there a life and an S box there? I thought those were removed.
You mean on the sonic gems collection? Then yes, the sonic CD megadrive has EU/JPN soundtrack and the US has their own soundtrack. Also seriously the US soundtrack isn't THAT bad, just give it a chance really, i hated the US soundtrack as well but i gave it a chance and i now like it a lot, sure the JP soundtrack sounds cheerful and cool but the US also sounds really good too!
I guess it is true you can skip the boss on Collison Chaos by doing that jump trick.
Awesome Gaming Dude. Keep it on.
My eyes hurt after watching the whole video. It sure was blazing fast!
No, that's the thing. I have that up and running, and everything is running as it should. My only problem is that there's a 3 second delay in almost all the music. Most noticeable when I pick up Power Sneakers or Invincibility. It's actually extremely irritating.
Sonic CD felt like a very unfinished game, but I insist it had the best level artwork of any Sonic game.
@666nightwish666 Wrong music LOL. This is the original Japanese version.
Awesome, but we could really use a good future TAS as well...
*Tilts head* didn't remember the music being this good on the Sonic Collection Gems version
@pat4luigi13 the music is the only difference. there's different music tracks for some of the stages.
Collision Choas Zone 3, WTF did he do? I blinked and he passed it.
No, I think about a TAS with all Time Stones or a good ending.
When the capsules explode they sound like machine guns :P
@mentalrectangle
It's more like abusing the gameplay for the glitches to occur. When playing the game normally you can barely find glitches.
Say anyone remember that sonic cartoon where Sonic was zipping around through time? Bet that was to promote this game,
WHY WAS I NOT ABLE TO ENJOY THIS AWESOME MUSIC?
damn sonic's so fast that the camera can't even catch up with him. lol.
@TheKeatonWarrior Japanese/European version have a different soundtrack than the US version.
3:50 it sounds like after sonic past by robotnick he got upset and started beating his machine. XD
Becaues its japanese versin, us/eu version has different music
these games are played using a emulator at super slow speeds and save states.
It's the bubbles, but the sprites are not properly loaded. =P
you know what im confuse about the japanese version of this game is that their are english voices in the soundtracks like the credits :l
I like the music that plays when you beat a level in the American version better.
Yes, but bin+cue will have better audio quality!
You mean to tell me that the U.S. was the ONLY country deprived of this soundtrack?!? I'm gonna go step into traffic.
amy:hi sonikku
Sonic:fuck this*glitches away*
12:15
"HIT IT!" *Sonic hits the monitor and goes super-fast speed* LOL
lol i love the stage end music in this game XD
-Wow, that's really fast!
*blink*
*totally different level on video*
-WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED
He could still do well enough on PSN/XBLA, I mean, even without the tools, he's still pretty good.
@GreenGiantShit Still, he could probably still own the leaderboards for many levels.
@2553065 Well, baasically theres this time travel mechanic in the game,right?So they let you travel either to the past of the level or the future and if you destroy a certain machine in the past you get a different lwvel in the future and the 3rd level is always set in the future but if the sign dissapears you have to find anmother sign and go maximum speed for a few seconds and then you're in the alternate time zone but you have to destroy the machine in the past of BOTH acts to create a cont.
@allicx96 to get a good futer in every zone u have to go back in time (get a past and time travel) and destroy a machine in the level. not badniks but a machine. all levels have em exept boss if u get good future in other 2 the boss has a good future, but u can also get all time stones and u are garentteed the good ending.
All the way until Tidal Tempest Act 2, at the end of each stage, I hear:
YESH
