1. If you hold Up+Right while rolling down the ramp, you can actually launch yourself over the entire level into the goal. 2. There's a 1-UP in each level (including the boss stages), but you can only get the 1-UP in Sky Base Zone 3 if you managed to find (and grab) all the previous ones.
Edit: I only tested the Master System version, thank you for the Game Gear insight - I learned a few things there. Before I watch this, I tested this theory myself a while ago (after seeing the 16-bit version tested) and know what the answer is going to be, but I look forward to watching this video. Thank you for testing this and making this video.
New to the channel! Tho aside from that I'm epileptic so seeing how you put so much care into your video means so much to me! I really do appreciate how you edited the color and frame rate. So thank you!
"Now that I've attracted some ire from some of you-" lmao The Master System is the original but the Game Gear is harder. Taking them both on is the champ's method. 10/10.
So Sonic the Hedgehog (8-Bit) is all about Sonic getting revenge on Robotnik for no building one of those cool Mechs like all his friends got. The more you know!
Maybe not on all games... And the idea is just to see if the levels are possible or not! For example I tried on sonic advance 2 and most of the levels are possible
I played through the master system version before and did this challenge, but i didnt get the chaos emeralds. Im not doing labyrinth zone again so congrats, your better :)
if he used unofficial emulators thered always be that one guy who says “weLL hE couLd hAve cHeaTed” so he prob just wants to avoid that. either that or just personal preference 🤷♂️
I think SEGA should’ve put a note before Sky Base Zone that says, “Disclaimer, the following stage contains flashing lights. Viewer Discretion is advised.”
You can get the Master System version on PS2 as part of one of the Sonic collections. Sonic Gems Collection I think. Also it was the very first Sonic game I ever played. It was built in to the Master System 2 I had as a kid.
2 things. Its actually on Sonic Mega Collection Plus for Xbox and ps2 and its the game gear version unfortunately the master system versions have barely been ported
@@marksamazingchannelbymd9799 Ah, didn't realise it was the GG version. They're both so similar and it had been so long since I played the old Master System version that I didn't spot the difference.
It's a shame that the Game Gear version was so much more difficult than the Master System version, because it has a unique "Good Ending" theme (where the Master System version plays the same tune for both endings) and a more menacing boss theme. I will stand by the Master System as being the more playable of the two because having more visible screen space and less crunch makes it infinitely less murderous.
Yeah, they are really bad to look at, which is why looking at a clean version of the game is tough because the original screen was low quality and would hide that eyesore.
Gotta be Frank there was a easy way to beat Green hill Act 1 That ramp if you have enough speed and roll down the ramp the game will glitch and take you to the of the act also something similar also happens in Act 2!
Some of these videos take longer, than others, to make. If I can't get one out soon, I play another game to buy myself a bit more time. It's how I've always handled this challenge series. That and I have 2 other big videos in the works as we speak.
Here are some more ideas for Without Defeating a Badnik Sonic 2 for the game gear Sonic 3 & Knuckles Sonic Chaos Sonic Triple Trouble Sonic Blast Not 3d Blast
Is it just me or do water zones in game gear/master system sonic games seem to always be painfully long and difficult Labyrinth zone ( haven’t played sonic 1 8-bit ) Tidal plant from triple trouble Blue marine ( haven’t played but everyone I’ve seen that played sonic blast has complained about this zone ) Probably any water zone from sonic 2 8-bit ( because of how unfair the game is in general )
Hey. Just want to address the Sonic 3 video. I needed more time, since it's a longer video. That's why this video exists.
Click the notification bell, so that way I can update with the community tab. It's faster than making an update video.
If it's just Sonic 3, we won't worry much about Sonic and Knuckles since they're separate games. (At least it saves time XD)
Can u beat sonic 2 using tails as weapon (stages without tails doesn't count or not needed to complete challenge )?
Sonic mania????
I didint seen the text
3:51 - How dare you copy my tactic!
I learn from the best
Why is there only two comments rhs lol
how i never tought of this tactic before? *REDHOTSONIC UR THE SMARTEST GUY I HAVE EVER SEEN*
redhotsonic I saw your sonic 8 bit android video😊
Your the best rhs
*Shadow* Where’s that DAMN fourth chaos emerald?
*Me* I think Sonic got it in Labyrinth Zone.
*Shadow* Labyrinth Zone? Nope. Nope.
There is no Chaos Emerald that make someone go on Labyrinth Zone!
Knuckles from sonic advance:
_bro i can swim and help you_
The 8-bit Sonic titles are always lovely to see. Good luck with Sonic 3, looking forward to it!

3:50 "but now i can just go on this floating log and die."
9:17 Sonic The Hedgehog 8-Bit on the gameboy
3:52
“I will just go on this floating platform and *die* “
*brains 100*
Venix GAM the best tactic. I do it all the time and it works in any game. :)
Edit: I only tested the Master System version, thank you for the Game Gear insight - I learned a few things there.

1:42 neat way to do transparency.
Yeah. It would be blurred, because of the lower quality displays at the time, but when it's this clear, the dithering is exposed. Looks really cool.
Yeah. Super Mario world does that in some stages as well.
8:49 they were a nightmare for me in the Genesis version XD
good date joke
0:18 wow.
I really appreciate you doing the 8-bit Sonic games on the master system and game gear. Most people don't even acknowledge them.
New to the channel!
Tho aside from that I'm epileptic so seeing how you put so much care into your video means so much to me! I really do appreciate how you edited the color and frame rate.

The more you know!
0:25 I have been waiting YEARS for you to say this. I Win.
Don't care. Did a tough challenge. Get on my level.
@@GottaBeFrank Son, you made an old man very happy today. Thank you.
Nice guide on the version differences as well.
Jungle zone is hell.
No it's not.Sure,there's a lot of platforming,but it's not hell.
9:17 The greyscale actually kinda fits
It does. I wish that flashing was toned down
I think the Master System Sonic 1 and 2 are on the Wii U. I may be wrong though
If so, then that's great!
The Wii U doesn't have any Master System games to my knowledge
Challenge idea : beat a sonic game (the one you want) while holding right. getting to a boss count as if the act was done
That's not possible. Some levels force to move left to continue.
Maybe not on all games... And the idea is just to see if the levels are possible or not! For example I tried on sonic advance 2 and most of the levels are possible
Finally new video of this series. I'm still waiting for Sonic 3&K.
Almost fells like
A living hill
and next is sonic blast right?
Not yet. This one was made, so I had more time to work on Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
@@GottaBeFrank but blast is the best sonic game ever!
Sonic 3D Blast without defeating a badnik. 😉
Oh you
Sounds like you enjoy watching torture oh f
Can you try Sonic 2 8-Bit without beating a badnik??
I have to get back to Sonic 3 & Knuckles first.
@@GottaBeFrank Yes I can't wait!
Sonic's sprite is adorable in this game
hey how about is it possible to beat sonic 2 using tails as a weapon
of course using sonic in last stages is allowed bc there no tails
I played through the master system version before and did this challenge, but i didnt get the chaos emeralds. Im not doing labyrinth zone again so congrats, your better :)
Knuckles channel=RUclips messiah(saviour of badniks)
*!Very Original Idea!!*
3:51 Death is better than that zone. It’s just not fun. Especially act 2. BTW, Red hot sonic is a genius.
Kinda weird to just pretend that unofficial emulation doesn't exist.
if he used unofficial emulators thered always be that one guy who says “weLL hE couLd hAve cHeaTed” so he prob just wants to avoid that. either that or just personal preference 🤷♂️
Busy giving peeps treats today. Lotta trick or treaters here.
Sonic 2 without defeating a badnik...
*AND KNUCKLES*
Wait theres an android version?
Yes, but it's not very good.
I already completed it, getting the emeralds are a bit of fun, theres even super forms, i thought it was fun not gunna lie
My Brain cells are asking:”WHAT YOU DONT NEED THE SPECIAL STAGES TO GET THE CHAOS EMERALDS!?”
True, but I can always use the extra lives.
...I spent years thinking this was the original Sonic 1
I think SEGA should’ve put a note before Sky Base Zone that says, “Disclaimer, the following stage contains flashing lights. Viewer Discretion is advised.”
We didn't know as much about rapidly flashing colors, at the time.
I got this game on Sonic Mega Collection Plus on my PS2
Me too
¿You considered do a vídeo of the boost games without using the boost?
8 bit Sonic has to be my favourite because I got the SMS copy for my 5th birthday :3
How do you get the updated port?
Can we just all agree that the Bridge Zone music is a total bop?!
Pultchnik And Friends Store-bought Adventure Series!
Title:
Me: well you can but if you call a boss a badnick then you will lose
Yeah, but they don't really fit the characteristics of a badnik.
please do sonic 3 & knuckles with out a badnik
It's happening. It's just a much longer video than a video like this.
I plan on buying most of the 8-bit on my 3DS
Why... Why the hell are there AUTOSCROLLERS in a SONIC GAME?????
Yeah... Sky Chase
I haven't completed this game yet, but I enjoyed what I've played.
Yeah, it's a pretty solid game.
Are you gonna do sonic mania
Eventually.
You can get the Master System version on PS2 as part of one of the Sonic collections. Sonic Gems Collection I think. Also it was the very first Sonic game I ever played. It was built in to the Master System 2 I had as a kid.
2 things. Its actually on Sonic Mega Collection Plus for Xbox and ps2 and its the game gear version unfortunately the master system versions have barely been ported

If you get hit you lose all of your rings
In green hill act 1 U can jump in the slope in perfect timing and U can reach the end of the stage
In the master system version u can make it to the end but in the game gear u'll just land in the spikes right before the end
The 8-bit music is better than the 16-bit music
Not in my opinion
Why in sky base the colors are black and white?
I had to alter the footage because of the intense flashing of the thunderstorm in the level.
@@GottaBeFrank Who cares
Sonic 1 8-bit is not bad, but Sonic 2 8-bit is a heckish nightmare, mostly the Game Gear Version.
Trevor Stagdon .Agreed!
It's a shame that the Game Gear version was so much more difficult than the Master System version, because it has a unique "Good Ending" theme (where the Master System version plays the same tune for both endings) and a more menacing boss theme. I will stand by the Master System as being the more playable of the two because having more visible screen space and less crunch makes it infinitely less murderous.
Rip star Light zone
The Spike Enemy Looks Impossible To Jump On And Destroy Because Of The Spikes On Top Of It You Would Need To Roll To Destroy It
Jungle zone water falls are almost or on the same level as mega man 2 bubble man
Yeah, they are really bad to look at, which is why looking at a clean version of the game is tough because the original screen was low quality and would hide that eyesore.
Wait there’s a android port of sonic 1 8 bit?
It's fan made and not 1:1 with the official games.
3:57 5:35 Did you just jump of the edge?
Where is 3 & Knuckles
WHAT did you say you say sega game cube?
timestamp pls
my first ever video game I've played good times good times
Great start to gaming
But can you beat it without moving?
If you need more time, don’t watch this video...
JUST SEARCH THE INTERNET!!!
Need more time for what?
It kinda ruins the fun of it.
Wait Sonic 1 8-bit on Android?is this fake?
No,is real
It's fan made. I didn't record that one because it was not exactly like the Master System version and would affect the run.
Gotta be Frank there was a easy way to beat Green hill Act 1 That ramp if you have enough speed and roll down the ramp the game will glitch and take you to the of the act also something similar also happens in Act 2!
I didn't want to risk hitting anything, but yeah, that is a good idea.
Wait there’s a pc version of sonic one game gear
It was not so good in my opinion
Edit: if the creative araya remake is the one you're talking about
@@fundayswithfox6706 it still fits
19:18
Do sonic mania without defeating a batnik getting any rings or getting a checkpoint
I only played the fan remake of this game not the master system or game gear
I rlly wish he could do the sonic mania without defeating a badnic it would be amazing
Some of these videos take longer, than others, to make. If I can't get one out soon, I play another game to buy myself a bit more time. It's how I've always handled this challenge series. That and I have 2 other big videos in the works as we speak.
@@GottaBeFrank damm ok man
Here are some more ideas for Without Defeating a Badnik
Sonic 2 for the game gear
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sonic Chaos
Sonic Triple Trouble
Sonic Blast Not 3d Blast
So basically the master system is easy mode
iPad?
You should do sonic 2 8 bit
never mind I tried sonic 3 &K but hidrocity 1 is impossible
Why?
missed the premire
It's all good.
Do the ramp speed glitch lol
Is it just me or do water zones in game gear/master system sonic games seem to always be painfully long and difficult
Labyrinth zone ( haven’t played sonic 1 8-bit )
Tidal plant from triple trouble
Blue marine ( haven’t played but everyone I’ve seen that played sonic blast has complained about this zone )
Probably any water zone from sonic 2 8-bit ( because of how unfair the game is in general )
Sonic 1 8 bit isn't really difficult, just slow.
Well I did say painfully long, and being slow is a part of that
I've been playing both on an emulator
To be honest,I want a sonic 2 game gear without defeating a badnik.
In due time. I just have a few I need to get to first.
Oh,I think you can do it!
But,Question...
This is a fan game,but can ya try sonic robo blast? (The sage 2020 remake)
There is a video on my channel where I tried it out.
How dare he/she dislike
Their loss. They are so not invited to the next video.
What about Sonic 2 SMS
Sonic 2 8 bit no badnik
Beat sonic forces or mania (if haven’t) without defeating a badnik
Is it just me, or does the Master System version look kinda like a fangame.
A little, but that's because of the weird resolution of the Master System games.
4:47 play earthbound
I've played it and I know exactly what you're talking about.
How to get android version
Sonic 1 Game Gear cannot be played unless you have a thing that no longer is accessible now
Roms:Am I a joke to you
I will only mention legal means for playing games.
5:40 i think we know.
Hah so much didferenfpts you didn't even tell
Can You Beat Sonic 2 (8 Bit) WITHOUT Deafeating a (Badniks)?
Its called sonic game gear
8-bit. There's a Master System version and a Game Gear version.
Game gear sonic has no nose
I actually beat 8 bit sonic 2 without beating a badnik also do not try it is hard
Considering that I did the challenge in Sonic 2, with Tails, I doubt that would be as frustrating.
Wait, there was a mobile port??? SHOW ME!!
