I can't count how many times I've started the Chemical plant boss, only to die because tails somehow manages to land a hit and I phase through the boss into the pit.
The the boss fights are a joke for the most part only during the last stage I have trouble. I'm no speedrunner but I've played through sonic 2 many times
it took me 2 days to complete chemical plant zone when i first played it but now i can complete it easily. it took me 4-5 hours to beat silver sonic in death egg zone but now i can beat it in like 16 seconds. all the levels are easy once you get used to them
I remember the first time I got to Metropolis Zone in Sonic 2 I thought those spinning copper mesh cylinders in the background and which you spiral through looked so real! And in Sky Chase Zone, robot turtles riding rocket turtles? AWESOME! Then that music in Wing Fortress Zone sounded so EPIC! Almost as epic as jumping onto the exterior of a rocket, hanging on for dear life, when the sky turns black and you realized you've reached orbit! Yeah, I was 11....
We all were at some point I thought at some point in my life that metal gear solid is as close to real life as you can look, while still being a fun game. Turns out I was right things have only gotten worse.
I don't remember what ad or sweepstakes I won this game on but, I waited MONTHS for it to arrive in the mail. It said 6-8 weeks. I gave up all hope. Then one day in an manila envelope was Sonic 2. God bless the 90's.
Metropolis 3 was amazing without pause buffering. I always pause buffer there. Oil Ocean 2 was normal, the spin roll at the end kinda scared me cause I do my roll a tiny tiny tiny bit after the certain music cue, but still very successful run. Great job
Sonic 2 is the best documented classic Sonic game in terms of speedrunning. Here's a good source to get you started. kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2
Probably Unrelated: Nitsuja's TAS of this game 8 years ago introduced me to the internet, RUclips, and the Sonic series as a whole. Thank you Nitsuja, thank you.
The thought of speedrunning Mystic Cave fills me with dread, whenever I got Super Sonic on that level it generally meant going too fast for the screen, then hearing tje death sound and catching up just in time to see the crusher / pit that got me.
This was so cool and nostalgic, I remember finding little glitches when me and my siblings would play this incessantly because we had no other Genesis games haha
you criticized youself on get some bad times like wasting an entire 15 seconds?! I do not believe you understand the accomplishment you made here sir O__O
You saw how he had to repeat the same procedure twice, it was just straight up lost time. You always want to know what the best possible is; the real skill comes in stringing together enough best possibles and dont mess *anything* up and you just might have yourself a world record.
Was watching high score on Netflix. Just got done with the Sega episode and came right to YT for Sonic speedrun vids. This one brings back the memories
This game plays so much smoother than Sonic 1. You get longer runways and less stops like Marble Zone, Springyard Zone and Labyrinth zone where you're waiting on platforms to jump on.
That was fucking Hilarious! Dr. egg-robot-man-nic couldn't even do anything before he explodes LOL XD that submarine one especially, gets half destroyed before he could even break surface LOL :D
Dr Robotnik hammered Sonic on the Aquatic Zone, and not a single ring went missing! I call bullshit (without explanation on that). Great run everything aside mate 🙌🏻🙌🏻
How to make Eggman's Day Bad: Step 1: Be like Tee-N-Tee Step 2: Make a speedrun Step 3: Skip all long things Step 4: Be fast Step 5: Dont get damaged or you will be oofed or flinged And that's it
Bigcokeslushie722 In the Sonic 2 speedrun (should come up as a top result) The guy talks about the spin dash saying the quicker you charge and release the faster you go so the best speed runners can do 6 revs of a spin dash then release it they delay the release then the speed will decrease slightly
5:05 I think thst sprite glitch happens when you hit Eggman as he's gonna hit the tower. He gets launched of the screen, and the explosion sprites only are now the animals. XD

Ironically, those who get the most extra lives are the ones who need them least
Jack Duripper that's so true
Deep as Volcano Valley
Jack Duripper especially in sky chase zone
Jack Duripper say that to my around 50 lives in s4e2 AND s3&k ;-;
WooSung Choi But not as deep as Lava Reef.
I can't count how many times I've started the Chemical plant boss, only to die because tails somehow manages to land a hit and I phase through the boss into the pit.
Ben there
turn off tails lol
You have to get some insane luck so the platforms face up
Yep
Oh that happened to me. A lot of times…
everyone underestimates Tails' abilities, that mofo landed, fixed and FLEW BACK in under 90 seconds. Props to that kid
Yes
Also props to him dying and then flying back in people really underestimate him
Not to mention he was *5* when he did this.
Dorkly acknowledged it. Tails now sees it as a curse.
Robotnik isn't even getting a chance to do anything lol
Joker fuck robotnik
Robotnik: "I'm here! It's time fo..."
Sonic: "No".
@@DajeHibus true
The the boss fights are a joke for the most part only during the last stage I have trouble. I'm no speedrunner but I've played through sonic 2 many times
Indeed brother
Tails be like "SLOW THE F DOWN PLZ"
Game Fox What is "F"
Naji Lacey the f stands for fast
Johnny Hotdog umm sort of
Game Fox jgjhfjjhtjitgfxjfdhxhjyw
tjnvgkxgidhffhfzlvjhfffJclhjhbljkjzmxn
No F stands for Fork because Sonics Counter is in a forking pattern (in driving) where it divides and Tails is more adept to a spoon pattern
5:05 he was too late to save them
v LegendaryBearCub LOL, Eggman already burned them alive!
All that speed..And he was still too slow
He was too early.
They turned into giant cheetoes
BoSseye Dragon that is a first frame trick
I had such a hard time in chemical plant stage 2 as a kid then this guy comes along and just JUMPS OVER IT LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!!
Dysnomia *ikr*
Same with me. I can't count how many times I've failed this stage.
fr i lost about 10 lives trying to get past act 2
it took me 2 days to complete chemical plant zone when i first played it but now i can complete it easily.
it took me 4-5 hours to beat silver sonic in death egg zone but now i can beat it in like 16 seconds.
all the levels are easy once you get used to them
I legit lost so many lives in act 2 of chemical plant zone..
I like how the ending credits makes up 1/5 of the video lol
Awesome speed run
And how a good portion is the stage clear moments.
No they dont close but it doesn't
Sonic won't have to worry about dying ever again with all those continues
This is how this game was meant to be played.............FAST!
John Miller is this on the gba I don't remember
Bryan __ The first game is but the port is terrible
Gotta speed!
Gotta go fast!
@@bryan__8658 woah 6 years
i hope you notice this
and no this not on gba but genesis
14:50 - 15:20 "To understand, I gotta tell you about parallel universes."
Went through that act so fast the sign at the end wasn't even ready for him.
I remember the first time I got to Metropolis Zone in Sonic 2 I thought those spinning copper mesh cylinders in the background and which you spiral through looked so real!
And in Sky Chase Zone, robot turtles riding rocket turtles? AWESOME!
Then that music in Wing Fortress Zone sounded so EPIC! Almost as epic as jumping onto the exterior of a rocket, hanging on for dear life, when the sky turns black and you realized you've reached orbit!
Yeah, I was 11....
Justin Franks but it still *is* epic
Then in Sonic 3 you just turn into Super Sonic and fly into space under your own power!
We all were at some point
I thought at some point in my life that metal gear solid is as close to real life as you can look, while still being a fun game. Turns out I was right things have only gotten worse.
This seems like the kind of game play you'd expect playing as the fastest thing alive.
As the sonic
Soundtrack in Sonic 2 is way better than the first, I think. Such nostalgia. Aaargh. Kew.
Jouwl generally, yeah sonic 2 is considered to do pretty much everything better than the first, it's a great sequel.
Jouwl oh wait I thought you were talking about gameplay lmao yeah the soundtrack is awesome
Lies sonic 1 has the best soundtrack by far
I actually thought the opposite and thought this soundtrack sounded lazy and rushed and the first one was better
@@Christian4life86 what about sonic 3's final boss music?
My jaw is literally dropped at the shortcuts he took in both Chemical Plant acts. Jeez, man!
Why was I so afraid of Metal Sonic?? Holy crap that was perfectly executed.
Isaac Cantu I'm pretty sure that's Silver Sonic
Hey I never noticed there was a difference, thanks for pointing that out.
Maybe cause you get hurt once you die
6:24 i love how the sound effects sync with the music
@sonic the human gaming
lines-up well.
16:40 was always my favourite level as a kid.
Very impressive speed run
Ditto
Casino night made me realize something when. I was a kid. I have a gambling problem.
Had a crappy day, randomly found this video and it made it a little better. Thanks for the nostalgia! Love this soundtrack
While I don't understand everything that has been done, it is very impressive and entertaining to watch, especially since it's non-TAS. Good work!
C'était malade Sonic!
What?! Je veux pas sharer mes commentaires RUclips sur Google+... :-(
HUEHUEHU NO CHOIZE Googz Iz overm|nd
Sonic, le jeu parfait pour speedrunner.
On va voir tous tes commentaires sur les vidéos de Chris Evans!
Ça va être juste une série de "
High speed sneakers + invincibility = best feeling in the world!
5:07, jumping fires lol
he released school of bunnies on fire. "family guy reference"
Go! Be free explosions!
There noodles
jumping BUGS
Reblotic Tails what have we done
That was the best Aquatic Ruin boss fight I've ever seen, well done sir!
i have 2 things to say 1 nice run 2 rip tails
Hahaha
I don't remember what ad or sweepstakes I won this game on but, I waited MONTHS for it to arrive in the mail. It said 6-8 weeks. I gave up all hope. Then one day in an manila envelope was Sonic 2. God bless the 90's.

I just started practicing for speed running on this game, using this as my goal. I've got a lot of work to do. hahahaha.
Sonic 2 is the best documented classic Sonic game in terms of speedrunning. Here's a good source to get you started. kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2
Thank you!
Did you do it?
TeeNTee314
Any update on this mate just wondering if you improved?
That final boss battle. It's such an obvious way to beat him why didn't I think of it
I like that the adorable explosions were let free in the second zone lol
A speed run that few people could ever hope to match... Fucking Eggman still faster.
Tails deserves headpats 4 2 reasons:
1. He's best boi
2. Probably the fastest fox alive cause of the fact that he almost always can keep up with sonic
12:53 What kind of sorcery is this?!
Clipping
Slope glitch
Probably Unrelated: Nitsuja's TAS of this game 8 years ago introduced me to the internet, RUclips, and the Sonic series as a whole. Thank you Nitsuja, thank you.
this was seriously so entertaining. thank you and good job.
Sonic is hungover and wants to finish fast to get home to bed lol
and tails is like "what the fuck just happened here"
ahhh invincibility plus fast shoes equal a 10-15 second super sonic
Josh Whitaker without the extra jump height
Gumstain Mcdougal
And without the awesome Super Sonic theme.
And without the Super Saiyan look.
And without constant ring loss per second
Literally, a speedrun.
kept laughing at tails trying to catch up lmaoooo
zarthelda yeah, like sorry boss.

3:46 love how the checkpoint syncs with the music
you criticized youself on get some bad times like wasting an entire 15 seconds?! I do not believe you understand the accomplishment you made here sir O__O
[GD] Delta damn that's fast
You saw how he had to repeat the same procedure twice, it was just straight up lost time. You always want to know what the best possible is; the real skill comes in stringing together enough best possibles and dont mess *anything* up and you just might have yourself a world record.
Seriously how good is this music? Its so good I listened to it twice. Feeling nostalgic as a mar fauker...
Glad you chose to save the animals ;)
good job jirard
21:39 is such a cool moment for me
5:10 Looks like he let the sentient chicken legs free onto the world...
This should be a good ending because robotnik dont have any time to collect the emeralds
21:08
eggman's burning calories with this one
SEGA: We put great details in our games and make them super fun and enjoyable
Speed runners: Well I really enjoyed going through all of your walls
We didn't truly understand how amazing the level design was. We just knew it was fun.
RIP turtles on Sky Chase Zone.
You are so good i thought you were doing TAS great video!
Well played man this was entertaining from beginning to end. keep up the good work! \o/
Agreed :)
This was awesome. I'd always make Sonic or Tails stand on the capsule button and 'bow' to the audience while my score for the zone was calculated :P
Amazing. Impressed!
Its amazing how many hits he gets off so quickly on the bosses. If I tried any of those I'd die on the spot. Especially oil ocean.
Was watching high score on Netflix. Just got done with the Sega episode and came right to YT for Sonic speedrun vids. This one brings back the memories
Gratulations are the most important and important to get to know
5:04 He saved fire! 😂
eggman was defeated so fast that the game glitched out and replaced the animal sprites with fire sprites 🤣
All those poor animals falling to their death after Sonic frees them from their Cyber implants.
I like Tails, when he's crouch
Wow, just wow.... also it's kinda funny how a sonic speed run just fits. Most speed runs look weird. With sonic it looks perfect
OOOOOOOH, YOU'RE GOIN' FYEEEEEEEST!
Your so good at this game really cool bro
note that TNT is timing by in game time, so to compare it to the TAS, compare it to the TAS's in game time
10:22 that spin dash!
This game plays so much smoother than Sonic 1. You get longer runways and less stops like Marble Zone, Springyard Zone and Labyrinth zone where you're waiting on platforms to jump on.
Feels weird watching this in HD, great memories, back when games meant something
im always crying, when see any sonic endings ;( PS: Nice SP Bro)
That was fucking Hilarious! Dr. egg-robot-man-nic couldn't even do anything before he explodes LOL XD that submarine one especially, gets half destroyed before he could even break surface LOL :D
I don't understand how I got through some of these levels as a kid.
I wasted countless hours on this in high school. All the sounds, colors and sheer speed - the game was a drug
Wow, that Metropolis skip in Act 2. I had no idea that was a thing. Awesome
Dr Robotnik hammered Sonic on the Aquatic Zone, and not a single ring went missing! I call bullshit (without explanation on that). Great run everything aside mate 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Sky chase theme song is so soothing and nostalgic
I would love to try and learn the level layouts in this game if it had a time trial mode like Sonic CD.
There is a level select cheat code
This video hurt my feelings. Amazing.
The skill
I love seeing sonic speed runs
Once i got to the sky chase i knew i made it .... I used to love the music as a kid
How to make Eggman's Day Bad:
Step 1: Be like Tee-N-Tee
Step 2: Make a speedrun
Step 3: Skip all long things
Step 4: Be fast
Step 5: Dont get damaged or you will be oofed or flinged
And that's it
Wow. Takin those bosses out like a boss. Amazing.
Oil Ocean 2 run was wild lol.
How do you do the crazy fast spin dash/warp thing against objects, like at 0:55 with the speed shoe monitor
Bigcokeslushie722 In the Sonic 2 speedrun (should come up as a top result) The guy talks about the spin dash saying the quicker you charge and release the faster you go so the best speed runners can do 6 revs of a spin dash then release it they delay the release then the speed will decrease slightly
Hill Top zone is hands down my fav music in this game
Btw I was on time attack so there was a capsule right where eggman's little ship was going to be.
Badass! Great Work 😃👏
That moment your stomach starts to turn a little because the game's scenery is going too fast.
Pratik Hazari Emerald Hill gets really trippy with speed shoes.
4:25
Bro, imagine having a race in ARZ2 and your friend drops into the water, only for them to outspeed you by a LANDSLIDE
Is it a good time if I beat wing fortress zone in 1'14''41 on my iPhone?
am I the only one to get the death barrier at 20:27 losing all your lives forced to restart
Can someone explain to me how did he slow down this fast at 1:57
so how is hill top zone emerald hill zone same for mystic cave zone and the rest of it
Best speedrun I've ever seen 2:24
Robotnik: "At last, Sonic, you've finally met your match! My Silver Sonic will obliterate you!"
*Eight seconds later*
"Curse you Soooooooniiiiic!!!!!"
5:05 I think thst sprite glitch happens when you hit Eggman as he's gonna hit the tower. He gets launched of the screen, and the explosion sprites only are now the animals. XD
So much anxiety as a child about playing sky chase zone jumping on the ship. Guy just jumps through the propellor and skips the level lol
If I’d have discovered level wraps when I was a kid playing this my mind would have been blown
