Since sonic can canonically go much faster than he usually does in games, I like to imagine that he just leisurely jogs everywhere until he actually has to run.
Lakitu is very fast though, even when Sonic outruns the camera, he always manages to catch up! Not to mention how he is also able to keep up with Mario backwards long jumping to parallel universes as well!
Sonic is like Goku, he doesn’t go 100% 99% of the time. It’s like he knows that he can just clear stages within a second but wants to bask in the view and area around him.
You'd have to think, Sonic no matter how fast he's going, has the reactions and speeds to do all the platforming in these stages or whatever regardless. We know he likes to slowdown and take it easy sometimes, but he could do all of any of the games at that speed just fine. We as the player can't do anything at that speed but ya know obviously lmao
You really know the layout of the levels. Like how you broke the bridge to use another path. I won't be able to play as smoothly as you and you're going at a much faster pace. The ending section was exhilarating. 3:28 That's just an amazing and beautiful celebration.
Good to know that we're playing Sonic games in slo-mo Bonus: Sonic has to process things his actions, AND what he'll do running like THIS. He may run at the speed of light but so does his reaction time, god DAMN.
Tbh, this would've been so much. Being so fast, making super stretched levels just to make this amount of speed playable. If only I knew how to code... some day.
I think a better representation is just to use the codes from the mod loader as you can slow down time which pays really well with the codes that speed sonic up and then well that's good enough as things would probably look slower if you're fast
This is a false advertisement. If it was really his canon speed, the second he took a step, he'd be gone disappear the camera wouldn't know what happened basically that one SpongeBob meme
so what is his speed? almost every literation of the guy has him nicked named something faster than sound or wind but we know he also has a light speed attack and can use this when ever he wants I think in all the games he's just being his normal cocky self he could go faster but chooses not to because where's the fun in that?

@@pufflord_gamesonicsoloesyo2365actually no From seaside hill to grand metropolis is 2 days Then from the casino to rail canon is the last day which is why sonic said "crap, is a trap to stall for time" when the eggman fleet appeared on rail canon
@pufflord_gamesonicsoloesyo2365 its impossible for unleashed to be only a few hours because how would he be doing night and day stages in the same day?
@@lol-un6nlIf it's day time in the US, it's night time in Japan. So Sonic can go around the world faster than the earth can rotate around the sun. I'm not sure how that game works but if Sonic is getting diverted to multiple locations around the world, he can get in and out of the sun in a very short amount of time.
That would likely break the in-game timer: he'd move faster than time itself. ..Sonic would likely also fly through every wall in the stage. ..and crash the game.
It's funny how people think the other characters are as fast as sonic, he slows down for everyone else heck he probably slows down when racing shadow, in some continuities sonic breaks the laws of reality to throw water which wouldn't work since that speed and friction would instantly evaporate the water and make him spontaneous combust
They could make sonic faster and still playable, for section where they want to display his speed that could slow down every else like a slo-mo shot and sonic still be fast and create different obstacles than the normal ones because obviously a normal level would just be easier if everything was slower
6:15 even at 0.25x speed, this is still somehow faster than normal gameplay- (edit: I think if you put this video at 2x speed, that's sonic's true canon speed)
reminds me of one particular glitch in sonic 06 where you do a frame perfect homing attack at specific part of a loop, and you just go until you collide with something
Sonic literally asked Tails in the 3DS version of this if he wanted to see him run around all of Mobius in 5 Seconds so the video would've actually been over as soon as someone clicks it
If player-controlled sonic was his actual speed, the game would be unplayable. It wouldn't matter that Super Sonic is invincible during final boss fights, the constant ring drain makes each of those fights against the clock as much as against the boss, and the clock would always win because the player wouldn't be able to make Sonic hit the boss.
Actually in the idw comics Super Sonic ends one "boss fight" in a matter of seconds and says something along the lines of "no time to be fancy". So I think he definitely has the ability to end most fights almost instantly, but chooses not to, since that wouldn't be cool
I mean, you're right I guess? It bugges the hell out of me when he just left every trick unfinished. Like an itch you really want to scratch but won't be allowed to do so.
@@HOTD108_ Yeah, I know, I, was just making a joke. Though these days Sonic's top speed is way faster, he's even been implied to be able to reach the Speed of Light, and just to be clear, we are still talking about game Sonic, not Archie Sonic
I feel like I should point that being able to run at light speed doesn't mean that you can do it instantly, or at least not without getting a proper stance/impulse preparation. Usain bolt is the fastest man on earth but he needs buildup and momentum first. Also most of sonics near-lightspeed feats come from assistance via devices and relics that can process his speed (e.g. the chaos emeralds for chaos control, the rings in a light speed dash, the time travel posts, the wisps, cyberspace) or by pushing his powers to his limit via transformations (e.g. Super sonic, darkspine sonic, hyper sonic, cyber sonic). In essence, he is not broken right off the bat but his potential, deep-seated power, and adaptability are very high.
The manuals in CD state that Sonic himself needs to run at these speeds to travel. The posts are just a game mechanic, hence why we do not see them outside of gameplay. In canon he's just doing it all himself. Same way none of the special stages are real, they're just there to feel rewarding. But current, Frontiers Sonic, absolutely outshines light speed feats by trillions of times. The Titans alone are moving at endgame Forces speeds. Each one getting progressively faster and stronger. Even with that being the case, Sonic adapts so quickly that each fight is easier than the last. With Giganto being the hardest, and The End dying in a single hit. Super Sonic 2 is in a whole other conception compared to every feat we've seen from Sonic before, but current Frontiers Base and Super are pure stupid broken.
@@pufflord_gamesonicsoloesyo2365 regarding cd, he would still have to build up his speed. like he cant immediately go lightspeed and is not shown to do so in the animations for cd Also I said MOST of his near-lights peed feats. Without a doubt he has certainly gotten stronger and faster as of frontiers and super sonic has fought some top level bouts, but prior he needed some assistance or he just wasn't as fast. In adventure 1 and two he needed the ancient light to preform the light speed attack, but no longer needs anything like that to preform moves like the ones we see in frontiers. One last thing I just thought of, how is eggman surviving any of this. If sonic is moving near lightspeed in most of his attacks how is eggmans machinery able to take the force of an attack at that speed or keep up with him using simple thrusters? Also where is the confirmation that special stages (or rather the realms they are in) don't exist in canon.
@@themememaster7844 There is no solid confirmation, but if the special stages were real it would mess a whole lot of stuff up. For example the 8-bit games have you just find the Emeralds, and those games canonically take place before the 16-bit games with some exclusions. Ultimately I could be wrong, but there's legit no reason why we just didn't get any cutscene or mention or anything of the special stages for 32 years. Eggman can survive all this because he's a super genius who knows how to build dumb strong stuff, I mean the death egg took 14 hits. I'm not saying Adventure Sonic didn't need help, but simply saying that Sonic is way more busted even in the early games then most the fans give him credit for. Like Chaos Control right, Shadow's moving instantaneously from one spot to another. Sonic keeps up with that. And it took him like 2 days to get to that point? His growth rate is seriously nonsensically busted. N while yes he can't instantly achieve light speed in CD, referring to SA2 feats, by that point I do believe he can.
@@pufflord_gamesonicsoloesyo2365 you raise a good point but it's also worth considering the other characters in the world around him. None of them are light speed but based on the fact that some of the damage they cause eggmans mechs they either have more mass then they know what to do with or they move at minimum the speed of the fastest sports car in their strikes. Their force seems to be powerful enough to bash machines left and right and even combat magical creatures. It doesn't necessarily make them as fast as sonic but it makes sense why their reflexes or durability is high enough to deal with a near lightspeed being. In other words I'm saying that it might be the case where speed of sound is considered a top normal person athlete (at least for the anthro animals, but maybe eggman as well) and light speed is considered normal superhuman. My question is what is eggmans machinery made out of? The strongest materials and metals on earth can't withstand a spinning ball that averages the speed of sound, much less one that can do it repeatedly in short intervals. (I know this is kinda late but I was in the middle of something at the moment)
There's a reason why both 2D and especially 3D games never make Sonic run at supersonic speeds as Sega claimed, because that will make them UNPLAYABLE.
The issue with playing a game with Sonic running faster (especially games with speed boosts) is that we perceive it as an outside force would, which makes it more difficult to control. A better way of doing it would be like they do it in the Flash show, where we see it from his perspective, where he's running at a normal speed, but everything around him is slowed down, because technically we're playing as Sonic, so we should perceive them as he does, so enemies, obstacles, and the time itself should all slow down as he 'speeds up', while the character still moves and controls the same way.
that would be lame to look at though unless it was done in like an interesting way like maybe a scripted segment or like a power up of some kind bc i feel like if i were to be playing sonic and then everytime i get a good speed everything around me is just cheesy slow motion I'd get annoyed with it
Sonic can time travel break the light barrier and the fact he had infinite speed if they give him he's cannon speed every game would be over in like a second
To be fair, he also has high speed reaction times. So since we’re controlling him… Also, just because he has a super high top speed, doesn’t mean he always uses it!
My theory at this rate is Sonic CAN go this fast but it's like playing it like this. He just literally can't comprehend this speed either unless he's running across the ocean or something
@Sonic44885 if you play generations classic sonics spin dash is insanely strong in this video it actually looks like the normal speed we see in older games.
2:38 I randomly paused it at this point to go do something, but why the heck did someone’s voice come in randomly? Also my OCD cannot get over the fact that he never does the “final trick” when he jumps through those rainbow hoops. Just never feels complete.
Personally, I've always liked the theory that he usually doesn't do supersonic speeds in-game because it would cause serious collateral damage. His *whole thing* is having fun by fighting to protect nature and freedom, and exploring the planet. He has to limit himself to protect the things he cares about. At minimum, the constant sonic boom (Sonic Boom, SONIC BOOM) would shatter countless windows, give everyone hearing damage, and terrify non-sapient animals into near-permanent hiding. _Everyone would hate him._ In-game, he already exerts enough force on his environment to break some rock walls, and can generate hurricane force winds. Ramp that up by even a little more, and he'd be a constant natural disaster. The only times we really see him reach or exceed supersonic speeds naturally is when he's well clear of any nature and non-Eggman civilization that could be damaged, (Running up the giant chain in Sonic CD, or down the space elevator in Colors) And then there are the cases when the normal laws of physics don't apply, like Super Sonic, which is when we see light speed movement with no negative repercussions, like he's The Flash or something. But those are limited-time events, and he otherwise has to limit himself. Because while trouble keeps him running faster, let us not forget that it's to save the planet from disaster.

None of them are light speed but based on the fact that some of the damage they cause eggmans mechs they either have more mass then they know what to do with or they move at minimum the speed of the fastest sports car in their strikes.
Their force seems to be powerful enough to bash machines left and right and even combat magical creatures. It doesn't necessarily make them as fast as sonic but it makes sense why their reflexes or durability is high enough to deal with a near lightspeed being.
In other words I'm saying that it might be the case where speed of sound is considered a top normal person athlete (at least for the anthro animals, but maybe eggman as well) and light speed is considered normal superhuman.
My question is what is eggmans machinery made out of? The strongest materials and metals on earth can't withstand a spinning ball that averages the speed of sound, much less one that can do it repeatedly in short intervals.
(I know this is kinda late but I was in the middle of something at the moment)
3:22 So fast that he even passed through it
Fun as a mod but im glad this wasnt in a game speed.
I think we should get a choice. Increase/Decrease speed option.
Sonic can canonically run even faster than that.
I think sound boom at the start gives more speed than usally..
5:43 he doesn't even go right through, the shockwave made by his boost destroyed them
There's a reason why both 2D and especially 3D games never make Sonic run at supersonic speeds as Sega claimed, because that will make them UNPLAYABLE.
Wow this is more glitched then sonic 06 thank god tehy reduced his speed for the normal one
The little tappy taps 😭 🥺
The issue with playing a game with Sonic running faster (especially games with speed boosts) is that we perceive it as an outside force would, which makes it more difficult to control. A better way of doing it would be like they do it in the Flash show, where we see it from his perspective, where he's running at a normal speed, but everything around him is slowed down, because technically we're playing as Sonic, so we should perceive them as he does, so enemies, obstacles, and the time itself should all slow down as he 'speeds up', while the character still moves and controls the same way.
that would be lame to look at though unless it was done in like an interesting way like maybe a scripted segment or like a power up of some kind bc i feel like if i were to be playing sonic and then everytime i get a good speed everything around me is just cheesy slow motion I'd get annoyed with it
The slowest Green Hill playthrough
The only time we see Sonic break the sound barrier in the games is in the opening cutscene of Sonic CD
Classic sonic ain't slow, it's just that his Green Hill zone is as big as the universe×10^69
and he's also a giant Boi
Why classic sonic so slow
i dunno i was confused too
Shorter legs
@@sonicmufflonmodern sonic can gain and maintain momentum far better than classic
Imagine doing a TAS of this so Sonic just completes the level no problem
Would actually recreate the unleashed opening
Sonic can time travel break the light barrier and the fact he had infinite speed if they give him he's cannon speed every game would be over in like a second
This feels more like Chaos Control than a boost
To be fair, he also has high speed reaction times. So since we’re controlling him…
Also, just because he has a super high top speed, doesn’t mean he always uses it!
My theory at this rate is Sonic CAN go this fast but it's like playing it like this.
He just literally can't comprehend this speed either unless he's running across the ocean or something
I have a theory that many Sonic games are actually in slow motion so we can see what Sonic sees.
Reminds me of the time warp in Shadow the Hedgehog!
The classic sections actually look a lot more playable now compared to the modern with that speed looks like a mess to control
Idk classic sonic seems about the same
@Sonic44885 if you play generations classic sonics spin dash is insanely strong in this video it actually looks like the normal speed we see in older games.
it was a total mess making me die alot
**OPPS**
2:38 I randomly paused it at this point to go do something, but why the heck did someone’s voice come in randomly? Also my OCD cannot get over the fact that he never does the “final trick” when he jumps through those rainbow hoops. Just never feels complete.
i recently realized you can finish the final tricks so until now i didnt know about it
The game is literally breaking as you play
Why is most of the video just normal gameeplay
what part?
@@sonicmufflon 6:15 the classic sonic portion isn't abnormal at all
@Yes it is, you just need to look closer. He is slightly faster.
1:38 DID THIS MF TAKE ONE STEP AND SAY “ oh im here already. feelin’ good! “
Sonic only says "I'm Sonic" when he's subsonic
4:08
A metal gate stopped Sonic right in his tracks. A _metal gate_ did that.
How sturdy is this thing!?
Personally, I've always liked the theory that he usually doesn't do supersonic speeds in-game because it would cause serious collateral damage.
His *whole thing* is having fun by fighting to protect nature and freedom, and exploring the planet.
He has to limit himself to protect the things he cares about.
At minimum, the constant sonic boom (Sonic Boom, SONIC BOOM) would shatter countless windows, give everyone hearing damage, and terrify non-sapient animals into near-permanent hiding. _Everyone would hate him._
In-game, he already exerts enough force on his environment to break some rock walls, and can generate hurricane force winds. Ramp that up by even a little more, and he'd be a constant natural disaster.
The only times we really see him reach or exceed supersonic speeds naturally is when he's well clear of any nature and non-Eggman civilization that could be damaged, (Running up the giant chain in Sonic CD, or down the space elevator in Colors)
And then there are the cases when the normal laws of physics don't apply, like Super Sonic, which is when we see light speed movement with no negative repercussions, like he's The Flash or something.
But those are limited-time events, and he otherwise has to limit himself. Because while trouble keeps him running faster, let us not forget that it's to save the planet from disaster.
Archie Sonic vs every conceivable being including within the 4th wall
If he went canon speed the system your playing on would explode and destroy your whole city.
Now try it on Eggmanland lol
I'm impressed that the physics engine can keep up and it doesn't result in clipping through walls.
