So yeah, not sure if I ever let you guys know I was working on this project as I know it's been quite a while since I last posted here, but in any case I'm just dropping by to let you guys know about it now that it's done. Please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong board, I wasn't sure whether it belongs here or in Creative Works. Below the embed there's an alternate link to the video hosted on TASVideos channel and a link to the TASVideos submission page with a discussion thread and authors notes.

Enjoy.

Still watching this, you sir, are on some serious crack. <3 What's that glide through floor thing you're doing? I've never seen it used in a S3K TAS before.

I just watched Angel Island and I have to say, this is insane. Can't wait to watch the rest!

[Dark Sonic]

If this were under Sonic 2 XL rules, Knuckles would be the size of a planet and the island would sink anyway. But damn this is insane. You even got some floor rings. You also showed me paths that I had no idea existed, despite playing this game for almost 20 years.

[DigitalDuck]

I saw this when it was submitted and it's simply awesome, if only through the sheer madness of the route alone.

[Friend of Sonic]

Good God, that Marble Garden act 1 run. Wow. I couldn't even conceptualized pulling something like that off.

[Ritz]

This is beautiful. It never occurred to me that Knuckles play at the highest level would be so fluid, and I can finally say that I've seen every route in the game. You should do a separate video for Death Egg!

Well, there's this.

And thanks again to everyone, you are all based.

Oh man, I remember seeing this when it first came out. Leave it to Knuckles to know every nook and cranny of his island, right?

Also this screenshot I took is pretty much a perfect encapsulation of the whole run:

Hahaha, looks like he's imitating Kirby trying to suck up all the rings

Hold up. At around 1:40 in AIZ1, aren't you passing over one unbroken ring monitor and 3-4 ungrabbed rings on your way over to the miniboss? Why aren't you grabbing them?

Keep watching. They're collected during the second act.

[Shadow Hog]

I... see. But why were they saved for Act 2 instead of Act 1, if you don't mind me asking?

Because he used that monitor to get to Sonic's part of the level after beating act 1 miniboss which is normally unreachable by Knuckles. Normally if you use that monitor to get to Sonic' miniboss area before beating act 1, the camera would lock onto Knuckles' miniboss area (which is significantly lower) whilst he is in Sonic's rendering miniboss unbeatable.

Alright, seems like a more-than-acceptable explanation to me. Thanks for humoring me, anyway.
