Sonic and the Secret Rings - All Missions, Max Level Tool Assisted Speedrun Compilation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2024
- After on-and-off work over the course of almost 2 years, we finally have TASes of all 110 missions in this game using a fully upgraded Sonic.
It should go without saying, but no cheats or game modifications were used in this video. You can do everything shown here on your own console with a wiimote - if you had the inhuman precision to do so.
All levels are optimized for the real time between confirming level selection in the menu and reaching "Mission Complete". This means no level restarts, pausing, or letting boss intro cutscenes play out for an advantage. In certain missions, respawning from a checkpoint can roll back the timer - this too is never used. Time Break is only used in LP12, where it is mandatory, and SO13, where it saves real time. In both cases, time breaks are minimized to optimize for real time instead of the in-game timer. For the total time shown at the end, the in-game level times are used for convenience.
For real time comparisons, you can see the spreadsheet here: bombch.us/C9xk . This tracks my individual mission times; all are world records at time of this upload (though a majority have not had competition in over a decade). Note that times marked with an asterisk are optimized for the in-game timer and may sacrifice real time, unlike the TASes shown here.
Of course, as with every TAS, my understanding of how to optimize the game grew as I worked through this project (which was not done in any coherent level order). If I were to start from scratch now I know more time could be saved, but I'm content to publish this for now. I'll never be able to escape this game so don't be shocked to see a v2 or at least some remastered levels at some point down the line.
Music added (all from the not-so-deep Secret Rings soundtrack): "Purple Pants", "Yellow Sneakers", "Results". I'm sorry, I really am.
If seeing this in your subscription box was a shock to you, you should follow my twitter @RusherOfRings for updates and clips of things I'm working on.

2:25 Sonic just fucking finished the level by walking away.
This is true speed.
Adachi pfp go brrrrr

@@supson16 yes yugi
THAT WAS TIGHT
He just said fuck this
21:09
"Hah, insolent pest! Your feeble attacks cannot harm m--"
*Feeble attacks proceed to harm him*
I laughed so hard
*_"That Was Tight!"_*
Not your mother
That’s what she says
Me after fucking that femboy
Ayo🤨
Guys after there first time
15:12
Shara: Are you ok, Sonic?
Sonic: Just leave it to me!
*MISSION COMPLETE*
Sonic: *takes a step backwards*
Also Sonic: "THAT WAS TIGHT!"
*Sonic* "What if I went backwards?"
*Erazor Djinn* "Wait. That's illegal."
I'm still trying to figure out how to do that
Hahah😂
4:40 this dude really used M-speed in a game that doesn't even use the hedgehog engine
This is really old and a dumb nitpick but the hedgehog engine isn't a physics/gameplay engine it's a graphics engine
@@Just_Red_ the graphics part of Hedgehog Engine is called mirage, while yes the sonic games used Havok for physics, HE wasnt just a graphics engine
2:25 gets me every time.
Sonic beat a level by walking two steps to the left
21:10-"HAH! Insolent pest! Your feeble attacks canno-"
"Omae wa mou shideiru "
[MISSION COMPLETE]
It wasn't a boss fight it was assault
Poor guy
18:30 That speed break to completely blitzing those spirits was insane.
Dude yk he was fucking shaking the wii controller HARD ASL when he assassinated those spirits 😭😭😭
YOUR FEEBLE ATTACKS CANNOT HARM M-
Sonic: I'm sorry, what were you saying?
THAT WAS TIGHT
Sonic: "I Told You I'm Not A Rat..."
"I'm A *_H E D G E H O G"_*
🤣🤣🤣
Sonic: *eyes turn scarlet red*
Erazor Djinn: "Something's wrong, I can feel it."
"keep trying, and you can break free"
sonic then breaks free from the level
Oh, it's one of those "nothing on screen is dechipherable" kinda TASes
Considering this game is so unpopular in the speedrunning community compared to the other 3D Sonics I never would’ve thought it had dedicated TASers! This is great.
What are TASers?

"Have you bought me-" "The Seven World Rings? Right here!"
Erazor Djinn: ... Aight, Imma head out.
20:02 to 20:38
Sonic just utterly annihilated 40 spirits in half a minute. That's 40 mcfricking spirits, gone. Just like that. Sonic wasn't even angry.
Sonic a whole menace and I'm more than here for it.
SPEED
@@juliuscasar7202 speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
@@hourglass8090 so this is why they call IT the skeleton dome
Wow, this place is huge!
Well he DID say "Time to rumble!"
Speed break and time break are two of the coolest abilities in a sonic game. Hands down.
Have you played shadow the hedge hog
Speed break is just the hero gauge and time break is the evil gauge slows down time and everything
Omy gosh you are so
@@fiddlestickjones
Actually, Hero Gauge slows time for bosses. Dark Gauge allows Shadow to use Chaos Blast.
@@astralshadow6193Even cooler. 😂 It inverts colors. If use this with the Super Shadow Hack you can Slow time, Teleport, Fly, lift things while flying, shoot Chaos Spears and Chaos Blast.
10:10 Ight ima speak a different language now :D
sonic: *AYYO WHAT THE-*
0:29 Hearing the music made me actually sad. I still miss Cobanermani456😔
Me too
Hope he comes to the light.
Meanwhile Erazor is sweating buckets and Shahra is trying not to vomit/faint.
TAS + Sonic = "Mom come pick me up, I'm scared."
Shara: you can use your homing attack on the balls that don’t have spikes.
Sonic: *is in the stratosphere*
21:10 Erasor Djinn: "Hah! Insolent pest! Your feeble attacks cannot harm m-"
*Gets instantly defeated*
"yeah my favorite game is sonic and the secret rings" "how'd you know?"
W 🗿🍷
This is what I'd imagine it would be like if Archie sonic was playable.
Dude....the fact you were able to clip through the maps like that on an auto scroller like Secret Rings....you are a literal god.
@@JP-fj3dd I second this.
How remotely did you determine this as an auto scroller other than sonic moving forwards automatically you dumbass?
@@tiff1913 You do realize that this was a year ago, right?
It's not a big deal any more.
Its pretty insane how fast you can go in this game
Even a Hyper Sonic mod in Generations or the Unleashed or Frontiers boost can't go this fast
it’s pretty insane how fun this game is in general tbh, Secret Rings and Black Knight are my two favourite Sonic games and they definitely don’t deserve the “Sonic 06 2 and 3” reputation they have, I think a lot of it comes from people who played the first levels, saw there was motion controls and called them awful games or people who played them with the idea in their head that they were bad so they couldn’t actually judge them for what they are.
Haha yea if u are willing to level of to max . With max speed and acceleration boost, u start to really feel like sonic but on the other hand the game literally becomes unplayable hah. This is why sonic doesn't move this fast even in its equal game . But I do love the level up system in this one alot
@@lucymorrisonagreed. These games take time to get used to but they are actually way better than. O6
Lmfao 2:38 that 10sec and camera angle were hilarious and awesome 👌
Man really said “fuck the map”
Seeing actual oob tricks in secret rings is so satisfying. A game normally on rails, broken so that for a split second it seems to have no bounds.
21:19 Sonic From What he's done so far: Im about to end this man's whole career.
I'm only at Lv 42 in Secret Rings but oh well, I'll eventually reach Lv 99 someday. Great TAS though!
Finish the game with all the gold medals and the fire souls, after that, fighting against simple Erazor gains a lot of xp
2:27 when I try to open a bag of Doritoes
That was tight.
37:33 "Speed break!"
37:39 "There it is! I see-"
*Seven rings in hand intensifies*
2:25 ...
*Seven rings in hand intensifies*
"0:0:20"
"That was tight!"
I remember reaching level 99 and noticing the exp bar continued to fill, got it about 1/3rd of the way through before I lost the save, was always curious if it was possible to hit level 100.
Amazing. Good work.
...Okay, this guy's gonna rock the place. We figured it out, guys.
Nothing in this video makes sense. The amount of glitches that Sonic pulls off, as well as the strategies that I've never seen before, is something really amazing to watch. I always have Secret Rings on my heart just because it was around my childhood, and I don't care what other people think about this game.
The best way to experience Sonic and the Secret Rings.
This game was so on rails, I didn't even know out of bounds stuff like this was possible.
When I thought that Sonic and the Secret Rings had no glitches, I was wrong.
This is what happens when lore accurate sonic gets a judgement flame on his crest.
So insane. I love it! Very well done!
Accurate lore of how fast sonic is in this game
26:17 can someone please explain to ME HOW THIS HAPPEND?!
Just TAS things
Soo This is how the secret rings devs expected us to play the game
im genuinely really entertained by this video, i just wish i knew what was going on lol. id love it if you reuploaded this but with insightful commentary on whats happening - you would be the first on youtube
www.twitch.tv/videos/989213543 Commentary starts an hour-ish in. I couldn't commentate a live video fast enough.
Now, I have a question... do gold medals count toward the Crest of Fire/Wind/Darkness like silver medals?
Yeah they do
How's this even possible??? I'm speachless
This is what it felt like when you got everything.
This is so fucking cool. The insane skips sort of remind me of Sonic Adventure 2 or Sonic Colors but on CRACK
If Sonic's speed was accurate.
Man that was great. Will you do one similar to this but with Black Knight in the future?
I've considered it, but honestly it is a lot more boring. Once you get fast enough to run past spawning enemies, you realize Black Knight levels are mostly just straight lines with minimal obstacles. Sonic's slower left/right acceleration and nerfed speed break also eliminate a lot of the cooler things you can do in this game. However, if you want a taste of Black Knight, I have another "100% demonstration" on this channel that shows how things can look if you actually fight enemies.
@@RingRush Oh nice! I'll check it out.
The fact this looks kind of sick it would have worked as a boost game I don’t know why they didn’t make it one :/
Speed break would like to have a word
I like imagining there is someone ACTUALLY doing all this shit with their wiimote
Out of my two years of playing sonic and the secret rings I never knew you can get bonuses
You need certain skills equipped that give experience. In this case, it is the skill that gives experience for completing 20+ long ring chains.
Now THIS is super sonic speed!
I know everyone else it talking about it but 2:25 caught me so off-guard, I'm fucking dead bruh
Good! Great!! Awesome!!! Outstanding!!!! Amazing!!!!!
All I did was press A
I just want to know: What was it like trying to TAS a game entirely steered with wiimote tilt controls?
Luckily left/right movement is roughly as precise as a control stick left/right. But then there are things like catapults - I never did actually figure out how to get them to work properly. I'm thankful I was able to skip them all.
@@RingRush well I'm glad I'm not alone in that, I tried my hardest to get a consistent control setup in dolphin to play this casually without motion controls, and it's just those damn catapults
What I do is use backup to wind the catapult and then alternate shake remote and backup until it sends me flying
Lore accurate sonic vs the secret rings
Bro pick almost any level from Pirate storm, he flies through the entire level.
See me personally, I struggle with some of these level's, but you make it look so easy.
Question for chat:
Who would win- @RingRush or @ShiroParadox
Both use tool - assisted speedruns.
3.2.1.GO
Sonic: walks to the left
Also Sonic: THAT WAS TIGHT
any thoughts on doing the same with SATBK?
lore accurate sonic 😂😂
biblically accurate sonic
What level do you unlock the highest Speed Up skill?
my VOLUME. my EARS. UHM, OWWW? 6:26
Pleasantly surprised to notice that Crest of Dark actually had a use during a TAS, how ever briefly. (Just the once for Evil Foundry 10's collect Rings, right?)
I can't remember off the top of my head if there are any other levels, but the wind crest ring burn in EF10 means you have to run down an extra hallway at the end. Wind crest only increases top speed, which you need to accelerate up to. Since the level has so much starting and stopping with the rails, it wouldn't even provide enough benefit to justify needing the extra rings. So crest of dark is used less because it is super useful and more because crest of wind is actively harmful.
Thanks for the information! It was more of an additional explanation as a few days after posting I noticed in the comments the twitch link you'd posted that had your audio commentary on, but it's still very much appreciated. I can confirm it was the sole 'Dark Crest' level. Cheers again, and great TAS(s)! @@RingRush
2:39 Bro flew
At 21:20 to 24:17 sonic... he straight mopped the floor with UHU's face. For some one called the wind genie he ain't got crap on sonics speed. Also at 49:42 sonic is so powerful he toke down erazor in 2 hits and made him T-pose also how does that work where you can defeat erazor in just 2 hits? I've done it before but it's very rare I've done it like 4 times.
21:09
Omfg your a legend
Gotta go fast! 👞🏃
Needed this in 2021
YES. GOOD FOOD
my crush: im home alone.
me:
So m and d speed really have been here all along
Do you know what skills do you use? To get 🥇
TIL there's such a thing as OOB shortcuts in on-rails/autorunner games
The only sonic that can rival wahoo mario
2:26 what the hell? lmfao
Canon sonic:
2:25 *HUH?!*
This is what sonic is all about baby
I would love to see this with sonic and the black knight.
So I guess playing as max level Sonic breaks the game
37:18 so that’s the trick! I thought the slide skip was impossible with Crest of Wind but you just have to jump over the first boost panels?
It's possible regardless, crest of the wind just makes timing tighter of when you have to press 2. The jump over the boost panel is just a super small timesaver.
@@RingRush odd, when I tried that with crest of the wind active the boost pads sent me into the air instead of the small bit of floor that you can start a slide on.
@@sadeknight9112 Try holding right. It's been a while but I think that helps.
@@RingRush I’ll have to try that later, thanks.
And i thought I had a handel on the controls
How i would play if I had controller instead of waggle
Who’s gonna rock the place ?
Poor wind genie
you're fucking amazing
2:25 Wha-?
33:09 to 33:35
Wot?
Would double like if possible.
My mobile video quality is non existent rn lol.
what the hell happened here 2:27
Why did you use japen ver?
This is the US version, there is just an option for japanese voices. Those save time in one mission because Shahra talks faster in Japenese.
Oh ok
Wait.. Thats illegal- 1:45 he went through A WALL of pearls-
