To think that all of these guys spend hundreds and hundreds of hours trying to perfect their speedruns, and still come across glitches they've never seen before. Incredible, how broken this game is.
Sonic '06 is in a league of its own though. Just watch Game Grumps trying to casually play this shit. It's ridiculous the kind of bugs this game presents to the player.
+T3n50r The Game Grumps really aren't a good example given that there often play bad on purpose to A) Make a Game one of them don't like look really bad so that there Community will pretend it in any way shape or form bad because there said so OR B)Do create more situations to react to and so increasing the overall comedic quality the video will have in the end
Jack Bradley 06 loading screens arent nearly as long as some other games out there (kingdom hearts 2.5 has way longer load times, especially the english version).
This game has some of the most amazing meta: It’s a bad game, about a character known for going fast, that’s actually good, but only if you can speedrun it. It is the purest Sonic game!
When you hear him talk about speedrunners getting the fastest time on "Who is the captain" made me laugh so much. It's such a little thing, a tiny mission in a game. but speedrunners determined to get the quickest of the quickest 'single step to the right and text box' time, sorta speak hahaha. One of the best and entertaining speedruns of a sonic game i've ever seen. Was really fun to see and listen to them explaining!

50:16 "i grinded this IL for 7-8 hours" 50:46 I dont know what youre clapping for i just talked to a guy" Lol his dedication is either admirable or really concerning. either way it's amazing
Wow, he made one of the most universally hated sonic games actually look fun! Fun to watch, that is. I can't comprehend actually playing this run. And yeah, I almost feel bad calling this the worst sonic game after a run this amazing.
The game has a reputation for being buggy as all hell (among other things, but that's not the point), but that doesn't mean it can't be fun. If you're playing it "as intended", chances are you're not going to have fun due to how buggy literally EVERYTHING is. If you're playing the game to exploit the bugs present to tear the game a new one, there's where that fun can kick in.
The game is undeniably awful, in and out. However, it's a great history lesson into how easy it is to mismanage an IP as fragile as Sonic, and just funny to play through.
Joopsh Whort "how easy it is to mismanage an IP as fragile as Sonic" Considering the previous games to come out in the franchise, fragile is an understatement.
I'm pretty sure there isn't even a solid foundation on how to make a good 3d sonic game anymore. I hope that Sonic Mania/Project Sonic 2017 are actually good.
Only Sonic 06 can exist in a polarised singular state where it seems terrible all the time and yet can be surprisingly fun. I guess 'objectively good' and enjoyment are not necessarily the same thing. XD
From a game dev perspective, a lot of the issues and even loading issues seem to boil down to this: - use of degenerate meshes and scripts (which is why some debris kill you) - lack of boolean checks during scripted movement (to disable damage or controls) - non-stage specific mechanics which allows abuse between stages of non-intended mechanics For the loading issues, it looks like the colliders, textures, reflections and lightings are all too high quality and real-time. They could have set the home hub in a cache or something but didn't so it reloads everytime... which makes no sense in this context since most stages are not long so you would be expected to return to the hub. This of course does not cover the wall clipping which are genuine glitches that should've been QA'd and fixed with additional colliders or Out of bounds checks.
Apparently, the game has no checks for whether an asset is already loaded when loading a new level. Hence why entering a mission is always equally slow, even if it takes place in the same level as you entered the mission from.
I was among the many who slogged through about 108 episodes of Sonic '06 on Game Grumps and while I wouldn't trade that playthrough for anything, seeing a speedrun of this game makes it look like an actually good game in comparison. Breaking the game, using light speed dash to maintain actual momentum, and knowing how to (mostly) keep the game from randomly screwing you over made this go so smoothly and dare I say QUICKLY that it really felt like Sonic was wasting no time in saving the day for once. For years I've been sitting on concepts and ideas for an ACTUALLY GOOD Sonic game, but alas I don't work for Sega so I don't know if those will ever come to fruition. Anyway, amazing run and thoroughly enjoyable. It's one thing seeing people take good games and break them, but it's another entirely to experience someone taking a broken game and make it actually look good by breaking it more. Very nice.
Hello raddfoxx from 5 years ago. Check out "Project 06". It's a PC remake of Sonic 06 but not broken. There are a lot of quality of life fixes that make the game much more enjoyable and playable. Also, I hope 2024 raddfoxx is doing well. 🙂
I played through this game a long time ago, in english. I'm saying in English because I'm french canadian and wasn't fluent in english yet. Everyone who says they had a bad time with this game had a worse time then I did.
I replayed this game in French a few years ago (native English speaker). Of course there is no French dub of the game, only French subs, which are fairly rudimentary translations anyways.
34:09 "You gotta draw the line somewhere. You gotta draw the fucking line in the sand, dude. You gotta make a statement. You gotta look inside of yourself and say: "What am I willing to put up with today?" NOT FUCKING THIS." "I guess both of us got a little heated, and need to apologize to each other. -It's because we're in a lava stage, dude."
I believe that the reason you can control knuckles when you complete the level when he isn't supposed to, you can still move in the results screen is because when you take damage to launch yourself down as knuckles is flying gets stored, and when you complete the level, the game thinks that you haven't completed the level, but at the same time it knows that you've completed the level, so the game just allows you to keep control over knuckles.
I love that they know about the game grumps , one of the best moments on the internet happened when they did this playthrough . I was so happy watching all the parts the first time when i was sick , it really helped me get through my illness
the funny thing is, sonic 06 is so glitchy and broken that ive been playing it for 13 years and im still TO THIS DAY finding out new glitches. well done!
I’ve had moments with Knuckles glitching through Flame Core where I did get the victory animation when I hit the goal ring. Sometimes it just doesn’t. I have no idea what causes it.
54:46 Really relatable since that happened to me too! 😂 I was just messing around with the camera angles since that part is automated so when Sonic was stuck in his jumping to pillar animation, I just laughed at it and start over. :p
God the music at the end when you finish a stage , the slow version of Zebra head - his world .. no matter how much i hate this game i absolutely love that song and the version that is in this game , it fills me with DETERMINATION!
I attempted to do that snowboarding trick in White Acropolis but i didn't do it properly and ended up jumping over the trigger for the boulder segment lol

And as a plus you can break the laws of physics
I unironically would take this game over Forces and probably even Shadow too
Think about that. One fifth of this speed run is just the fucking game loading.
Hawkeye04300 it’s actually a third of the entire run, which is even more insane

When he said he was going to address the elephant in the room I was expecting him to say something about the guy in the black shirts voice.
play enough of a game like sonic 06 and you too shall become a man
Fuck his voice 👌
Are the couch people dressed like sonic shadow and silver with their shirt colors?
I only JUST noticed that. I was so focused on the game the whole time

Literally LMAO
The loading zones were one of the worst parts of the game
@Elvick You just have to say the counting the boxes mission because that's your statement in a nutshell.
I will never understand how SGDQ thinks there's no time when the estimate was for 1:10 and he finished with 9 minutes left?
other runs went past time most likely

what I find nonsense is that they were gonna cut it off when he was 10 under estimate

How did they almost not have time for the box trick if the run ended 9 minutes ahead of the estimate??
ChibiTails lol right
Because a Speedrun is supposed to be the fastest they can go
Other runs going over estimate? Not really sure
One of my favorite GDQ's so far. Nice run!
It has come to my attention that the whole city's on fire.
I’ve played through this game twice and I love seeing somebody else understand this game so perfectly.
Wow, nerdcubed donated during this run. Neat.
Yeah, glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. Although I've been scrolling through for like 5 minutes if not more looking for a comment about that lol
That means I watched this game for at least 15 hours
At 31:44 for anyone else looking for the specific time.
Who saw this game and thought it was okay to release?
It didn't get released. It broke out of the confines of its cage and rampaged onto the Earth like some sort of untamed monstrosity.

Wait a second, inscrutable maps, ringing bells to open a gate, a bird picks you up and flies you to another place? Is Sonic 06 Dark Souls?

I’ve had moments with Knuckles glitching through Flame Core where I did get the victory animation when I hit the goal ring. Sometimes it just doesn’t. I have no idea what causes it.
I'm not sure, maybe gliding into the goal ring doesn't trigger the victory anim? It's definitely something. I'm not sure though.
13:56 Lmao I love the GDQ audience
Wasn't expecting Nerd3 to donate... even less that he would refrence his Nerd3 completes series on this game!
I'd love for someone to actually calculate what percentage of this run is loading screens.
The Devs probably spent the same time making the game than he just took to beat it.

I attempted to do that snowboarding trick in White Acropolis but i didn't do it properly and ended up jumping over the trigger for the boulder segment lol
When the game gives them a Rank B, I feel like that’s the game telling them ‘c’mon, I’m way more broken than THAT’
Seeing this from 7 years ago.. a bit late, but I legit want to see project 06 get a speed run on here ;)
