I love games that leave debug mode to play with. Don't see that anymore...
+Rena Kunisaki al the more reason to play Yandere Simulator!!! :D
until he releases the finished game and will probably remove the functions. lets hope he never does that.
+Rena Kunisaki did you kow supermario bros3 has a dubug mode
***** yeah, but you have to hack to enable it, so not as cool.
Rena Kunisaki
I only ever beat the original sonic 2 using it for Supersonic. And even then, the ending had me choked up kind of. And more than that, I was like, "I NEED to get Sonic 3"
I hear that's because Debug was for testing. To remove it in that era risks breaking the game.
When I was a kid, i remember getting about 50 hits on the final boss without him dying, and now you've finally explained why :) Thank you for helping me find out after 20 years what happened :D
Thanks to everyone who supports the show, here's another episode. I hope you enjoy it and learn something new.
Andy
U can buy a sega genisis at my meijer and ataris
You should try Kirby and the Amazing Mirror :3
there is a glitch u missed. If u die from a pit while in debug mode, while in the death animation, activate debug mode then place an object. It freezes. Me and my brother found this out ourselves
A+Start +a Ur amazing keeeeeeeppppppp ggoooo wwwiiiinnnnnnnngggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to show this to everyone because your video are so fun to watch, not only that but you explain everything well detail by details. I was wondering if you can make a son of a glitch video of banjo Kazooie and maybe majora mask ?
So Debug Mode is basically Super SONIC Maker...?
This
Is
Amazing.
yep
ThePixelTyler | TailsTOG it was original super mario maker
Sugar Cubez *TWICE*
The CrisGamer mario galaxy copied mad space level in SA2 by using the same gravity mechanic
Not really a big surprise because once you go off screen too far the objects despawn
There is a rom hack called "Hedgehog Abuse Simulator" where your in some type of debug mode and use spikes to get Sonic to normally unreachable platforms, which is a nice reference to the debug spike glitch.
A and Start. Oh, I get it...
level select
the name of the channel. a+start? you dont get it? DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT THE CHANNEL'S NAME?!?!?!?!?!
***** Up, C, Down, C, Left, C, Right, C, A+Start
why did you have to be mean about it?
do people treat you this way, so you have to treat others badly too?
when you siad it i got it
I learned that stupid final zone glitch the hardest way you can imagine.
My mother bought me Sonic 1 the first week it came out, and after weeks of so many tries at beating the game, when i finally made it to final zone, i beat robotnik and got silly and hit him again and it screwed me out of my first win. I cried i was so upset.
yeah, you shouldn't get silly like that.
happened to me as well when I was a kid. I thought I screwed up something but nope, it was just shoddy programming.
I agree
I guess this is why SEGA nerfed Sonic's speed. He'd turn the game into a monstrosity...
+Jamesthe1 {[Minecraft, Music, and more!]} still a shame...
tbh, i often love glitches more than the games. not so much in recent titles, but I actually bought Super Mario Bros JUST for glitching (then later i truly played it. it was amazing)
+Pedro Henrique two bucks? I don't even have one buck
fun fact: originally sonic's running was really fast, but because it can cause motion sickness, they slowed down his speed to make the game more playable.
Sweet glitch vid, but there is one glitch you missed; The "White ending" glitch, in where if you hold right during the ending cut scene you take control of Sonic, he keep holding & runs right. If you trying too far far right he'll die & a "white ending" will appear, which is essentially a crash as no credit appear & you need to reset the game.
I'm not sure if it works on the ports, but I know it does work on the Mega Drive (/Genesis) version.
SombreAria I had footage for this glitch, but for some reason I missed it in scripting and it was left out. I don't know how this happened :(
A+Start A glitch? :)
Yeah, but does it really matter? You've already beaten the game, so...
I encountered it by accident!
Your english is more broken than the game
It's ironic that you did the 16-bit game on episode 32
That's not what irony is. People need to stop misusing that word
+Megapyrogenic Yeah, it literally kills
+Megapyrogenic I don't know if you used debug mode
+Ian White its ironic that people keep using the word improperly... Kappa
+Megapyrogenic that's literally the worst, people do that literally every minute.
I've played this game so many in the past but haven't seen most of these before :D I did always love messing around in that debug mode though :D Great job as usual :)
gamesplusjames thanks James :)
What debug mode? How do you achieve it?
Total Titanium Nerd Oh,wait,I just found out. Surreh.
IT'S UP C, DOWN C, LEFT C, RIGHT
you can press C 3 times at any time in the code as long as it's before pressing right
8:16 we need to reset the game.
wait, does this mean that the first sonic game is the only sonic game where sonic can die by going TOO fast?
Derp'zy Entertainment cough cough Sonic 06 max speed cough cough
+Daniel Yogi Generations, Colors, Unleashed...
Kingdom080500 Not really
+Aron Tavares I HATE THAT DUPLICATION GLITCH!!
+Aron Tavares I HATE THAT DUPLICATION GLITCH!!
If you look closely when the signpost glitches after doing the level wrap, you can see that it contains sprites of monitors that were removed from the final game.
Amazing. Hard to believe there's so much to see and learn in a game I played as a child. Great vid and great series!

so...sonic really is the fastest thing alive.
Bombastic Lion well fastest hedgehog...
@@MiroPVP nope he's the fastest thing alive
Robotnik is actually faster, at least when Sonic has no speed shoes or Super Sonic. This is proven in Sonic 2 and in Sonic and Knuckles when he runs away from you in DEZ
4:12 or just wait till the 10 minute timer runs out.
I stumbled onto this channel randomly not to long ago and must say, your videos are really good. Cool seeing weird glitches in games. Keep up the good work :D
That final glitch happened to me when I was about 7 (long before I understood glitches), and I spent the next x amount of years wondering how and why! Thank you man!
I found this channel while watching a speed run of LoZ: A Like to the Past. Been subbed ever since, and still loving the episodes.
kirbyboie glad you're enjoying to dude :)
7 years later and I’m still loving this
Me too..
I just discovered it!
10 years soon
I dont know how I havent found your channel until now. Love the vids man!
Found this In the what to watch section. Definitely worth watching and now subscribed :)
HOW CAN YOU TELL WHAT FRAME IT IS!??!? Are you a cyborg or something?
ChampionRevilo it's not hard haha it's the frame that works, it's trial and error :)
A+Start or you can go TAS and just have the game run at 1 frame at a time which makes pulling off tricks a crap ton easier XD
Minecast Zyad48 Or pause buffer
Huskies Plays whats pause buffer?
Minecast Zyad48
4:10 - If you do get stuck, you don't have to reset the game. Just wait for a Time Over (9 : 59) and you'll respawn at the last checkpoint you touched.
Cool
Thanks for the info. it really help me out!
Cool
so. many. glitches!!!
nice work man, always love your content!
Thank you for the video! I spent hours as a kid unsuccessfully trying to recreate a Marble Zone lateral glitch which happened once, now i understand why it happened. Been holding on to that for years 😂
Wow. This is actually *the* video that got me interested in the Sonic series in the first place when I saw it last year, and I'm glad I saw it.
TheWhiteSnowOne
Because of the glitches?
Ike Okereke Yeah
TheWhiteSnowOne
Not the amazing charm of the classics?
Ike Okereke Well, before watching this video I was in a stupid phase of my life where I thought only Nintendo games were good and didn't give this series a chance because of Boom and '06.
Once I actually saw gameplay of it though I decided to give it a try. And it did not disappoint.
TheWhiteSnowOne
Oh. Nice. Can't wait for Mania or 2017?
another glich: in the 2 zone of the first area crouch at the rock with a spring and jump. He runs in air!
Awesome episode. Man I really love your glitch show, I love how you go into detail, and put so much work into it. Showing us all these possible glitches and whatnot. Keep up the great work u deserve lots more subscribers :D
I always love watching these! They are so entertaining!
a debug mode, where you can add sprites at your leisure. all games need to have a feature like this.
Another glitch on the original release: Holding A+B+C while watching the demo play disables Sonic from jumping, so you can force Sonic to die. This also works in the ending credits.
Matt Osness, you only have to hold c
Totally awesome Son of a Glitch! I love playing Sonic the Hedgehog online and I never knew there were glitches in it! Those glitches you did were super awesome btw. Anyway, keep making your Son of a Glitch videos awesome!
It just occurred to me but I'm pretty sure that this is the video that taught me about level wraps. Now that's nostalgia.
I feel like I missed out cause this game was part of my childhood but I had no idea about debug mode being playable!
1:47
It’s hard to see but Sonic’s quills are lava pallet coloured.
Yeah, I see the lava pallet for the quills
Bro became lava
5:16 i believe the spike glitch is still present in the Sega 3d classics collection as when I entered the code for debug and put sonic below the stage in act 2 he kept on getting hit by the spike.
Same too. I also found an wall zip in Labyrinth Act 3.
Yes, I've been waiting for this! :D
this video was awesome ME GUSTA
LI
oh look it's kug
Hm... you should do an episode on Sonic 3 and Knuckles. That game has some very interesting glitches.... Especially in the Debug Mode.
Like this one for example. Press the button to become an object, select one that you think might be interesting.... Now, exit that form, and find a special stage ring. As soon as you jump into it, quickly become that object again.
When you exit the special stage, either by finishing it, or losing.... Well, you become a glitchy mess of sprites. Similar to Missingno. from Pokemon. It's based on whatever you were in the form of before doing the glitch, so there's quite a few forms you can take.
And this lasts I BELIEVE for as long as you're in that stage, or until you die. So that's pretty fun.
...Also, there's the various ways Eggman, er sorry, "Robotnik" can die. Like being killed by Mecha Sonic if you go to Knuckle's last boss as Sonic, or Tails.
And hitting him 255 times in Launch Base Zone. This game has a LOT of bugs. XD
He did a episode from Sonic 3& Knuckles
Daxtery Toon (Kid) ...Well damn. I guess I forgot about it.
Now I just feel dumb.
Don't worry,we still love you
I believe that was only one glitch.
I actually encountered the glitch by accident!
I love your videos so much! Even though i cant do these glitches because i dont have the games its cool to see what you can do. Thanks for showing these! Im glad i subbed to you. :D
zNick1876 | Ender King thanks dude, I'm glad it fun to watch even if you don't try them yourself:)
Dude, i really love your videos!
at 1:35 if you look at the left of the sign it has the unused S monitor
and goggles
that's the right
the s is on the right too
The unused s monitor is the super sonic monitor if you get it you turn super
The S monitor used to turn you Super. But luckily it became a thing on Sonic 2 Debugmode!
you forgot one glitch
in the special stages if you have debug mode leave the borders of the stage and fall and then you will go into the glitch world (where random tiles are placed) and if you dont hit a exit tile you can fall below it and end up landing on a clone of the stage
You can also collect multiples of the same Chaos emerald by doing it; since for some reason the game remembers which color chaos emeralds you've collected, rather than which stages you've cleared
Azura Racon wow really? thats cool!
Naruto Uzumaki cloned stages are probably Developer Test Zones
But first, let’s talk about parallel universes!
+Agu Fungus stryder reference
I love the Sonic games' Debug modes. So much fun to mess around in. :)
I didn't know about that life underflow glitch, though, or about the game crashing at that one point in the stage. I'll have to try those out at some point.
Yes! This is awesome! This just popped into my recommended videos a few years too late! 😅 I love that you can zip to skip parts of Marble Zone, Labyrinth Zone and Scrap Brain Zone Act 3. I never really liked those levels.
oh man Debug Mode good times
“What? I-I want that ring box... I-I-I NEED IT!!”
WE need it
Well I don't need I don't need it I definitely don't need it I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it
I NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!
i love those Videos they are so cool and i really like u explaining those glitches pls continue the great work :)
I don't know why but I find these videos really interesting! Makes me wish I knew them as a child playing your older game glitches.
I LOVED Debug mode, blew my mind as a kid.
0:37 That is Sonic top speed in Sonic 2 running in chemical plant
awesome glitches, i'm glad you could share them.
Interesting and awesome as always! Keep up the brilliant work of yours!
Cave story sprite?!? :0
That's right. How come?
I love Cave story :3
Well, then we're two!
It's very rare to find Cave Story fans this days :
I don't know what view or comment I am but I love your Glitches series! I Hope you don't finish it, or at least not this year XD
How to get debug mode:
Up, C, Down, C, Left, C, Right, C, and last but not least, "A+START"
you don't need to make a comment like this, as he already told you about the code, so technically don't need this.
OH MY GOD! FINALLY SONIC ! thanks man :D my favourite game series, i wish you would do all the sonic games, if you find glitches in them :D
hi i love your videos and sometimes you are funny i really like these glitches. also they are pretty mindblowing and i really really like your sonic glitches because im a big sonic and sonic.exe fan!!!
6:20 why did the game crashed in that stage
An invalid instruction exception. Its where the games tries to do something but while doing that it sends invalid opcodes to the game and it crashes. Hope this helped :).
ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION 00E0XE00
0:26 look at the "scor"
You forgot one glitch that I discovered as a kid.
After you beat the game, the credits screen includes action shots of CPU-controlled Sonic running through various stages. If you press Up+C, Down+C, Left+C, Rght+C repeatedly (same as Debug code), Sonic will break from the pre-determined path and start screwing up the run: getting hit, missing jumps, etc.
Great video once again :). But now i gotta play this game lol. Haven't got around to it yet.
1:53 - I like the look of lava-textured Sonic. Is there a way to glitch it so that we can see the entire character model with this texture?
Oh lord, does this mean Sonic 2/3/&K episodes are coming? Tails glitches alone could be like 20 episodes. I can't wait! =D
when I watch your videos on my tablet while intoxicated I try to tap on your channel tag to get to Playstation Plus. 10/10.
5:32 That glitch was fixed in the Saturn version, the 3DS version, and the Retro Engine version. That's because those versions of the game included the Spin Dash which would've made it easier to trigger that glitch had it not been fixed.
It's also fixed in japanese version for SEGA Mega Drive.
*****
ahh thats why I haven't encountered that bug, I've got the jpn sonic 1 cart (i found it £2 in gamestation) and sonic jam but not the pal cart
Dude!! I did a 16-Bit Sonic the Hedgehog Glitches video a couple months ago, shame it's still not at 2000 views... ;D One of my best too! it was all three games though, maybe should have split it up but meh!
Wait, this was 7 years ago??!!!
Yes
A+Start? Wow! Top of the hat Andy xD
I love these videos! You should see of you can kind glitches in one of the original Lego games. I grew up on those and it would be cool to see them broken or glitches in cool ways.
Might you possibly do a Sonic Boom Son of a Glitch?
John Civitillo it's way too soon, there's like three major glitches/techniques for it, not worth making an episode. But people keep requesting it.
A+Start Yeah, but it'll probably be a fun one to do in a few months.
A+Start
It's cool. I understand. Here's to a Sonic Boom episode in the distant future though! :)
No.......it would be like 10 hours...
A+Start What about now
One time i was playing sonic and a glitch ocured in Labaryth Zone,I broke an item box with a sheld but after breaking the box a Badnic killed me in one hit.
Lol
I'm so surprised that you don't have more subscribers, your videos are some of my favourites on TH-cam, especially the Zelda ones. P.S.
Please do a smash Bros melee video, I like the well known glitches like play as master hand, but would like to know more of them.
Your just like i want that ring box I-I- I NEED IT! Nice vid M9
You should do a Skyrim episode!
that would be a long one
Ethan Sarin Haha yeah!
He did.....................
no he didnt
We should really hang out for an Oblivion son of a glitch episode ;)
I put many many hours into this game, I don't think i've experienced these collision bugs before though.
i was playing Sonic 1 in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. in Green Hill Zone Act 3, i touched the boss checkpoint and backtracked to the final ramp with the 10 ring box and went near the ramp and Sonic was tilted so, i had to comment this to you, Andy!
Thanks A+Start, now I know why I lost my fisrt game of Sonic 1. I effectively did the glitch that gives Robotnik 256 lives, but I never knew it was a glitch. Until today.
to be fair, you're not the only one, others did the same thing as you.
@@thuongbuianhhedgefishsuppo7550 Jesus man don't do that to me
Sonic 16 is coming out next year. Someone hold me.
where's sonic 16?!?!??!??!?!?!?!?!?!?
He meant Sonic 06
does anyone know how to do debug mode on xbox one?
Icy press X on no save
Axvender do u know how to get debug mode in ps3 sonic 1?
Amanda Gillula ???????
It works on the PS4 version. Up, circle (instead of C), down, circle, left, circle, right, circle. (Ring tone heard) Held Square+Options (instead of A+Start) till the start of the act, and finally to enter debug mode press cross.
Yeah pls tell me
Great video. I never knew about these. The only one I found is if you finish a stage and keep pausing and unpausing at the beginning of the music and score countdown, you will notice a higher note appear and play until the end of the song
The day I found these videos, I shared this channel with my boyfriend. Now we're both subscribed! We ♥ A+Start.
You don't really have to restart. Just wait 10 minutes until the game kills you due to Time Over.
M1YAK2 Yeah but that's 10 minutes. Are you willing to wait 10 minutes when you could restart within seconds?
Skystar Gaming But then he would have to repeat the game
Tem Well, Sonic 1 is a short game anyway, so restarting wouldn't actually be that bad. I just see waiting 10 minutes as a waste of time. Also, if you are playing the game normally, then you would never be in that predicament. Assuming you have ended up in that glitch, it's probably because you intending on doing that glitch, so overall progress in the game wouldn't really matter all that much.
Reset and do Marble Garden again? Nah, fam.
@@calciferblack2409 This isn't Sonic 3
Do super Mario sunshine! Or super Mario 64! 2 great games!
Glitchfest?
Dilip Tien yeah
I mean psycoh(?) did one for those
Dilip Tien
oh no i mean that he does one. the game has plenty of glitches i dont think that psycoh covered all. also super mario 64 is good too
I agree. I need both of them to do glitch videos.
I remember, as a kid, when I played this game in Debug mode, I could go into Marble Zone (I forget if it was in act 2 or act 1) and go down below the Lava section while in Debug Mode.
Not only could I go below that, I also could go so far down that the background with move out of the way, and I would be floating in a blue void. Was pretty freaky. XD
I love those Illegal Instruction errors. It's how I got my nickname to begin with years and years ago. ^_^
In the first zip I tried to, and I died.
Panos Sonic expect that to happen a lot
A+Start Zipping helped me get me past some of the ridiculous platforming in the game. Although the game thinks sonic is getting smashed so it eventually leads me to a game over.
Maybe before doing the zips do the 1up glitch
Same
+Dino Magna SEGA
do sonic boom that will be 99:99:99 bigger than youtube can count 😂
No it's only 3 major glitches
I've done the run jump glitch on accident on the Gamecube version when going across the lava on the block. I know that spike glitch isn't possible in the Gamecube version, which is nice, but are any of these other glitches like the zip glitch available on the Gamecube version, i.e. Sonic Mega Collection version.
I am not sure if Pushing into the Animal Capsule or Super Mario Bros glitching into a block was the first Glitch I ever discovered as a Child...but I do know that I loved it back then.
another awesome episode! :)
I keep dying and its LITERALLY making me cry ):
Good episode, Sonic 2 (16bit) next please, It's one of my top 10 faves
5:27 that walking/jumping can happen when you jump while the platforms are pushed up (marble zone)
OMG !! I knew the deadly spike glitch was going to be mentioned !!
I knew most of these already, but I've never heard it explained in such greater detail. Also, the hitting of Robotnik twice glitch on the final part-- I did not know it resets the hit counter to 255! When I was younger, I thought Robotnik's hitbox was infinite. Now I got to try and beat this with the glitch-- won't be so hard with debug mode on since it disrupts the time counter.
I ran into the screen scroll glitch in act 1 of Green Hill Zone once and ever since then I get worried when I head down those tunnels XD
Debug is fun in all the 2D Megadrive games, Sonic 2 as an example if you beat the final boss and you have all the explosions following you when running out of Death Egg but use debug to change into something, then scroll back to where you fight the boss you can fight him again with explosions trailing you. The sprites go a bit funny as there is more on the screen than intended but still.
Also, after you defeat Robotnik in the Final Zone, when you chase after him in his flyinhg thing, dont move until he gets off screen, then run after. When you catch up with him, robotniks sprite despawns and the flying thing is driving itself.
