Scrap Brain is kind of GOATED thanks to this video. That 50 ring elevator was arguably the coolest thing I've seen in the classic Sonic games. The sheer fact that rings had a purpose outside of lives and special stages is mind blowing.
I came in all smug, thinking you couldn't outwit me. And then you brought up the useless platform in SBZ3. Over twenty years of experience and I never knew this...
Right off the bat, I didn't know you could clip through the spike platform in Marble zone. But I knew literally everything else in marble zone! Arghh!! If you had just rearranged the order of all the marble zone tips, I would've lasted longer going into this video blind 😭 side note, I'm always happy to see you in my notifs
I didn't know that you could skip 80 seconds of waiting around in Act 3 by going through a secret passageway. Though I did know that you could skip waiting on the block to get through the lava. Turns it from a waiting game to blocky platforming which I guess is an improvement.
What's funny is that this can _only_ be done in the release version. If you try this in the prototype, you just can't pass through on either side of that spike crusher.
Interesting, I had no clue about the Scrap Brain 3 platform! There was a mod for Sonic 1 2013 dubbed "Cybershell's Ring" that restored the single ring on the alternate path of Labyrinth 1 to the 2013 version, I believe named as such due to Cybershell making that single ring more well known. I patiently await someone creating a mod called "RedHotSonic's Platform", to restore our glorious platform so it can finally be seen the way it was meant to be seen.
@@rjd1922 That's what I want to know. I think I recall someone said they put the ring back, but I didn't make the jump when I played through so I did Labyrinth the normal way. Though I also redid the special stages to beat them all first try, but they added a 7th emerald to the game so you can turn Super Sonic. Even if it's non canon (given the ending cutscene shows the 7th emerald pop up from the ocean while flying to Westside Island.)
I'm Brazilian and you're the only TH-camr I follow who speaks English. Keep making videos, I never tire of repeating and repeating and repeating the whole channel!
See, this is the nice thing about Sonic 1: The speed is still there, you just have to use your head in order to get it, rather than it just being given to you.
Very ironic to say "Use your head" when these secrets make no sense. Random hidden walls with no indication of it existing or seemingly deadly pits that give you no reason to check them.
@@MizunoKetsuban Some of them are in random locations, that's true. But there are also a lot that are very accessible, so that argument doesn't really hold up.
@@MizunoKetsuban I've see plenty of people complain about them or say they're the reason they prefer Sonic 2 over 3 since they slow down the gameplay (I'm not one of them, S3&K is my favorite of the classic games, but it's interesting to see alternate perspectives). The thing is, those are ultimately optional, if you ignore them you still get a very speedy game.
You forgot some things: a) The infamous Illegal Instruction crash which occurs in Labyrinth Zone 1 and 2. On Act 1 is easier to reproduce it than on Act 2. b) The erroneous Camera-Y moving up under the start in Marble Zone 1 near the green rock - which kills Sonic immediately if done correctly c) The "pit of death" in Green Hill Zone 1 due to immense speed on a loop d) The secret path near the ending of Spring Yard Zone 2 (that one with a lot of rings) e) Sonic can kill himself falling onto a pit if Eggman is hit on his departure sequence in Final Zone. If not hit, nothing special occurs if you try to jump off the platform f) In Green Hill Zone 3, near the boss you will traverse a bridge... If you fall from a very high altitude, you can bypass the bridge collision and lose rings or shield instead. Sonic will not die because the pit is, actually, filled with spikes! Regarding Scrap Brain Zone 3 platform, I really didnt know that :o However, I remember seeing that thing in Sonic Jam or another hack that I forgot the name...
The only things I didn't know were the Labyrinth and Star Light death glitches! I never hear them discussed because most people don't like discussing "bad" glitches, I guess XD

_Starts video_ Yeah, I've been playing this game in every incarnation for nearly 30 years. I doubt this'll contain much, but still could be entertain-- _Literally less than one minute in._ WHAT?!?!?!
As a speedrunner I knew most of these BUT you did actually get me with the Scrap Brain 3 platform! I'd never seen that platform before until now! Today I learned.
All right, ya got me at the Drillbot/death plane interaction in Labrinth Zone. I distinctly remember that happening to me a a few times as a kid, and had just chalked it up to being a mistimed jump.
Fun fact: in sonic mania when 0:26 came back it was blocked so that you needed a fire shield, you would either get the monitors or a big ring depending on the gamemode your playing it on.
Knew a lot of these that just seemed like regular play through moments, but still a good chunk of new info! Very impressive. Glad this randomly appeared in my TH-cam feed. Time to sub
It's strange how I grew up with this game, and still play it on my mega drive today and haven't known about loads of cool shortcuts and Easter eggs. Thanks for showing me !!
I adore sonic 1 so much, such a great childhood game that has surprised me a good few times in all these years, I did not know about the access to the scrap brain 2 monitors until just the other month when playing casually and seeing the invisible block appear because I felt like standing still for a moment!
That Final Boss glitch! I remember playing it and was like Hang on, haven't I hit him like 20 times?! Thank you for explaining and validating my experience!!
I knew everything that you mentioned lol I'm surprised you didn't talk about Zips or screen wraps. I will not dislike the video keep making these videos I'll keep watching
I knew about all the shortcuts in Marble Zone and Spring Yard Zone but didn't know you could clip through that platform. Finding shortcuts like that was always something I liked doing in Sonic games and it's part of what makes good level design satisfying. People that don't get on with Sonic games usually have the problem that they feel like they need to be going fast; it's not about going fast right off the bat, it's about exploring and learning a level's layout - then you can go fast.
I had already hit like by the time you'd said not to hit the like button, but in fairness I didn't know that you could squeeze through that gap in Marble or that the platform in Scrap Brain even existed. Great video, looking forward to Sonic 2 if you do it... that was the start of my gaming journey~
The second one got me here, lmao. I’ve been playing this game for most of my life, so the time I’ve been playing is now getting terrifyingly close to 15 years, but most of these still surprised me.
I knew about the secret room in Marble Zone with the single 1-up, but I never knew it was suppossed to be a shortcut, I always entered it through the right side.
First one is kinda interesting. They make it look like you're not supposed to go further, and would likely fall to your death if you tried, but then there's a generous reward for those who take the leap of faith.
1:08 - I have one for you, though it definitely doesn't help speed this level up. If you duck and let the screen scroll all the way down, you can continue to ride that green block under the big purple ones. 6:04 - I love that you used the MS/GG Scrap Brain music here. It's a jam and a half.
That first trick shown in Marble Zone takes me WAY back - I actually made a video about it thinking that it was groundbreaking. The method was slightly different but the outcome was the same.
Although I wasn't aware of a couple of minor things, you get my like because it's the first time I see someone mentioning the bugged monitor in Scrap Brain 2 that I found so many years ago.
This is the first time I'm commenting on your channel. It's always great to have you back and who knows if we will see you for SHC 2024. Thanks to you back in October 2023 recording erazor on real hardware series, I'm now apart of the erazor team having playtested the seventh release of sonic erazor during its development process. A lot of surprises for you to uncover when you get round to it. Anyways, take care.
@@ajcox4771 I've been prepping for SHC24 during my spare time and saw Erazor has been entered. I'm looking forward to trying it out again and seeing what's changed 👍
The big Marble Zone shortcut is actually the only way I know how to complete the level, I've never gone any other way. I appreciate that you take it for granted that we know already why the Press Start Button text is not there normally.
I've only ever played the Pal, European version. I would get the Debug to work with Up, Down Left, Right, Up, Down Left, Right, Up, Down Left, Right, A + Start. You had to be super quick to get all tjat in, but it was the only way we we knew. Have your like. You earned it.
I was told it was up, c, down, c, left, c, right, c, a, b start. My siblings could get it to work but I was never able to, usually only getting the level select screen if anything.
I actually didn't know about any of these. The first Sonic game I ever got my hands on was Sonic 2 back in 1992, I only played Sonic 1 as a three day rental. Not exactly enough time to discover all the secrets! So thank you for showing these, I'll be heading to Origins again to see how many of these I can grab for myself :)
The Green Hill Act 3 one i remember a friend round my house playing Sonic when we were 8 or 9, and him discovering it by accident. It was the talk of school the next day with all the other kids calling bullshit, until they tried it that night for themselves.
I think I knew half of these and maybe some I'd forgotten about. Secret areas youd.only find in a magazine. Those days are gone man. There was a code that enabled you to add sprites to the map. Cool video
6:03 bizarrely, sonic should have lost a life here since the space is one block high, smaller than sonic's hitbox. This is the most informative video of sonic 1 i've seen in a decade!
I was aware of a lot of these and you've taught me a few new ones but as you're completely mad and made me chuckle I think you thoroughly deserve a 'like' for your efforts. 👍👍👍
HUGE props for actually acknowledging there will be people out there who know all of this. Those videos that are titled "things you didnt know" really get under my skin (more than they probably should 🤣). But i actually didnt know many of these myself, to my own surprise, so this was super entertaining. Also, MAJOR THANKS FOR INCLUDING PROPER CAPTIONS! ♥️ I occasionally have trouble understanding a word or two and auto-captions almost never get it right. Plus its just a respectful thing to do for people who rely on them too.
Thanks for the kind words. As a person who finds it hard to watch TV or films without subtitles, I feel I have to include them in my videos wherever possible. Also helps for other people where English isn't their first language to auto translate them 😅
And I always tho i knew EVERYTHING about this game, been playing it since 92, having it in many versions, and I knew a lot of the things you said, but not everything, and i'm proud, and surprised now.. good video, real hardcore secrets here
Ho ho ho, I knew everything in this video, I have too much time on my hands. ,':^) Edit: If this vid came out a week ago or so, I wouldve been got on the marble zone act 1 clip, but that was covered on a sonic facts acc i followed :) However, nice to see you again! I first learned of your existance from your playthrough of Sonic Classic Heroes with Razor & Zenon, one of my favorite comfort vids to come back to here and there, glad to see you're still going! ^-^
I knew all of this, but I'm an absolute sucker for fun video game facts. Still, a great video! The SBZ platform is definitely one that isn't commonly known.
Marble zone IS my favorite Sonic 1 level, I regularly do no-hit playthroughs of the game just to amuse myself, and I never knew you could clip through that spiked platform... I've been playing since the game was first released lol
I never actually knew you could jump in between the spike thing in Marble act 1 and even less the secrets on the japanese Mega Drive nearly at the end of the video you really made me learn something new and i also played Sonic 1 a dozen of times! Thanks m8 i already left my like soon after the video ended so yeah!👍
0:52 I don't think it should work in later remakes, especially 2013 remake and Sonic Origins. Also some glitches I guess, that some badniks can insta-kill Sonic.
Good video! I did know some of these, but not all of them. I've been playing Sonic 1 for decades and it is interesting to see some things I had not seen before. I forgot that there are so many secrets in Sonic 1! It is a shame that the NA and PAL regions didn't get the extra visual effects of the clouds and water in the original release. There is one weird glitch that I always thought interesting where if you roll into the goal at the end of Labyrinth Zone Act 1 or 2, the game crashes.

I find it crazy fo have been a sonic fan for years and still not know everything about Sonic 1. This video was really insightful
Finally I know how I randomly fell through the marble zone spikes one time! Also that Scrap Brain 3 platform is beautiful and I love it.

I liked the video at 0:52 😅
And I always tho i knew EVERYTHING about this game, been playing it since 92, having it in many versions, and I knew a lot of the things you said, but not everything, and i'm proud, and surprised now.. good video, real hardcore secrets here
I already realized that and it's in my video of Sonic 1
Yippee, an upload!
This video is filled with “I knew that.” while scoffing, and “I think I knew that; did I?” with “Wait!? What!?”
Ho ho ho, I knew everything in this video, I have too much time on my hands. ,':^)
Edit: If this vid came out a week ago or so, I wouldve been got on the marble zone act 1 clip, but that was covered on a sonic facts acc i followed :)
However, nice to see you again! I first learned of your existance from your playthrough of Sonic Classic Heroes with Razor & Zenon, one of my favorite comfort vids to come back to here and there, glad to see you're still going! ^-^
This was actually pretty interesting, i didn't even know about the scrap brain act 3 one, definitely interested in a sonic 2 version!
Gonna be honest, I was cynical-I've been around the block with Sonic 1 a few times-but yeah, couple of things here I didn't know. Respect due.
This video is so entertaining, a lot of things i didn't knew until now, if only i could give your tons of like and subs.
I knew all of this, but I'm an absolute sucker for fun video game facts. Still, a great video! The SBZ platform is definitely one that isn't commonly known.
Marble zone IS my favorite Sonic 1 level, I regularly do no-hit playthroughs of the game just to amuse myself, and I never knew you could clip through that spiked platform... I've been playing since the game was first released lol
okay I thought I knew a lot of things about Sonic 1 but I did not know about that Scrap Brain 3 platform, I am thoroughly humbled
There were a couple of things I didn't know. You got my like sir.
Hello, I’m so glad you’re back
I never actually knew you could jump in between the spike thing in Marble act 1 and even less the secrets on the japanese Mega Drive nearly at the end of the video you really made me learn something new and i also played Sonic 1 a dozen of times! Thanks m8 i already left my like soon after the video ended so yeah!👍
0:52
I don't think it should work in later remakes, especially 2013 remake and Sonic Origins. Also some glitches I guess, that some badniks can insta-kill Sonic.
Hey I appreciate your knowledge and how entertaining you are. I liked the video and you gained a new subscriber
All these years still and still finding new things this game is amazing!
3:15 thank you so m,uch for bringing this detail up!
Just when I thought I knew everything.
Spring yard and scap brain secrets are new to me after 30 years
Nice tips! Massive fan and learnt loads new buddy
Good video! I did know some of these, but not all of them. I've been playing Sonic 1 for decades and it is interesting to see some things I had not seen before. I forgot that there are so many secrets in Sonic 1! It is a shame that the NA and PAL regions didn't get the extra visual effects of the clouds and water in the original release.
There is one weird glitch that I always thought interesting where if you roll into the goal at the end of Labyrinth Zone Act 1 or 2, the game crashes.
@@mattb6522 it's sure does. That, with a few other small ones, I excluded due to time constraints.
lol i already liked the vid cuz you are a good youtuber
