In Other Classic Systems

Alright, the NES ROM. There will be a save state uploaded in around 24 hrs, so if you don't want to get to that level by yourself (it's not that tough anyway ), you can wait for the upload of the save state. If you're going to do that, check here in a day or so for the link to it.

Have fun, and good luck!

EDIT: Get the save state .

can i just plug in my Mega Collection? because it has a save state thingie too. and i know i could only use it once.

i got 2:18.... and i see room for improvement

i used my Genesis

Of course you can use the actual hard/software That's why you have them, right? The links are there for those that may not have the games and/or systems for each challenge.

alrighty thanks /

2:16 Minutes! I didn't know how to make a screen shot... I'm sorry... but I'm very serious, I'm not cheating.

earliar i got 2 :10
now i got this

That doesn't look like the end of the level to me...

I feel a bit lonely about my 2:12 here...

I'll have to try harder it seems.

I'm just curious... are there shortcuts or some of that sort in that level?

I'll bust it out at home after exams. I love sonic 2! <3

You said it, 2 is far superior than 3. I'll try it on me genesis sometime..

My best time is 1:34, although little errors on my part make me think a time lower is still possible. I don't have any means of screenshots, but man...this level is annoying. All previous levels i can get under a minute easy.
Suggestions:
Use the Level Select code, saves plenty of extra time.
You can easily beat Robotnik if you can land square on top of him. This lets you keep bouncing up and down nailing him.
Avoid jumping high for tubes, you only need to open them.
Beating the chemicals to the top on the diagonal pillar part is vital to a decent time.

First, go to the Options menu from the main screen. From here, head to the Sound Select menu and play the following sounds in the order they are placed below:

19
65
09
17

Once you have played each one (1 time only), press the C button and then press Start to be brought back to the title screen. Now, when you see Sonic and Tails (Miles) appear on screen, hold down the A button and press Start while holding A to finish off the code. You will be brought to a menu where you have access to play any level in the game, whether you've completed the level you wish to play or not.

1:34???
What the hell am I doing wrong... I can't seem to get under 2 minutes.

I was never a big Sonic player...

I wish i was still as good as i used to be.

You said it, 2 is far superior than 3. I'll try it on me genesis sometime..You have a Genesis?

Yea, im playing my genesis. I have a controller for PC, but its not the same, I tried both and had better luck with Genesis. I've gotta get a webcam soon, but sadly I'd only use it for junk like this, so I'm a bit reluctant. I'll get a cheap hunk of junk one of these days...

Oh yeah, got it down to 1:31.

hahahaha

Yep.

hahahaha

;)

1:38) is a very good time indeed.

I got .



It seems the most troubling area is the corridor of moving rows of blocks. If they're not positioned just right when Sonic gets there, it's difficult to beat the rising water.
The two moving platforms afterwards are tricky too.

I keep hitting this glitch about 35 seconds into it....

No, you have to get an account here:



Then upload your files there.

These two spots give me grief!!!!

Convert your screenshot to a more compressed format, like PNG, GIF, or JPG

Just slow down a little bit right before you get there, then you won't get stuck.

greatmightypoo

Just slow down a little bit right before you get there, then you won't get stuck.

Its hard to slow down in a game like sonic. I just wanna go faster!!
This is my best so far 1:39

wow you guys are fast! I must just be getting rusty

Allright its time for my big entrance . Hahaha




I'm pretty sure I wont get anything better than this. I would be lucky if I even got this again!!

Im getting there 1:35....... how long do we have????

oh My bad.

Oops I just read you have to just go through the level with Sonic. Sorry about that Roth, missed that part the first time. Oh well my time wasnt that great anyway heh.

2:22. Beat THAT

!

I've been trying, but I can't seem to get it any quicker.

Come on Z.E.N, can't let the newbie beat you

2:13 (using a MegaDrive)
I aways hated this Area, it's my least favourite out of a the series.

Got 1:19. Not gonna reveal my secret until after time is up, but once it is, I'm sure it'll be evidence enough.
Hint: If you jump at the right time, you can shave off a good 15 seconds.
I ain't too hot with emulators, but here's a pic of 1:21 to prove I ain't just making up numbers to keep a lead.

is my best for now.

There are actually two big shortcuts to take through the level, but one of them is extremely difficult to pull off.
So I just did the one thing on that one part near that one place to get this.

125, dammit.

Anyway I got down to 1:28 but nothing compared to 1:14. Good job ZEN

Nice Job Zen!

Thanks everyone...
But I wasn't quite finished yet.

Behold my new fastest time...



And in case anyone has doubts about that time...

Yeah, forget screenshots. This is much more fun.

(By the way - I actually messed up a few times times in that video. I probably could have gotten it under 1:00 with a perfect run.)

Well, everybody congratulate ZEN on his winning with the time of 1:04! Nice job man

I can't even dream of even thinking about the possibility of that time. My best time was like 2 minutes more than that.

(By the way - I actually messed up a few times times in that video. I probably could have gotten it under 1:00 with a perfect run.)

Well, let's see it! Might as well secure the crown for fastest evar!

ZEN, were you using hyper or mega sonic????

I was using "Sonic".

Just plain old blue "Sonic".

!

hahahah! I liked the little head-bang you did with Sonic there at the end

Headbanging? He was just saying "Yes, I did it".

That was great.
Congrats to that. And thanks to you now I know where the shortcuts are.

Congratulations Z.E.N!

I watched the video and that was AWESOME!! I knew about that first high jump secret but not the second. That second one saved you like 20 seconds!! Good job

Shouldn't this stop being a sticky? This challenge is over.

WOW Nice job!! What is your lowest time since??

I tried playing it again, but I can't seem to nail that first big jump anymore. I imagine my absolute best would be about 4-5 seconds faster.

Still, that's nothing compared to perfect speed record times shown here...

Those were done by Quietust (yes Quietust) and that whole video of 'Sonic 2' being finished in 25 minutes is fun to watch.

I'll try to make videos for all my "challenges" if possible (and provided they're worthy of watching).

How in the world do you view the video? I tried loading it in winamp and mediaplayer and nothing happens.

I just downloaded it to my disk, and it opened fine in VLC media player.

if you're talking about the speed run video... the .gmv file... I assume it's an emulator movie and must be opened in GENS. Guess I won't be watching it.

Good for you. Expressing your feelings is the path to a truly healthy life.

Uhh.. Where the hell did that quote come from? Onion kid hasn't even posted in this thread .

i was wondering the samething....

I looked through this thread a few times wondering the same thing.

Uber are you just pumping out random quotes to confuse us?

OKG posted a bunch of crap earlier. I think he is still angry over this thread: (let it go man, we just don't think of Tetra in the same way you do).

Not time, but don't put it past me.

Nothing to great but here is mine:
1:80.

I did this on my Sega Genesis.
