Hello there everyone! We, Razor & Zenon, really love classic Sonic games. From time to time we completed them together either in co-op mode (S3&K) or taking turns, but there still was so much to these games, so we decided to complete them in some other, unnatural and interesting ways.

That's how we got the idea of coming up with challenges and completing them together. One of the goals was to clear every entire level without collecting a single ring. It means that collecting a few rings and losing them before the end of the act won't work for this challenge.

In the very beginning we just picked up some acts of S3&K randomly and challenged each other to make it to the goal, carrying as little rings as possible, because back then we had no idea if it's doable in other acts at all. After a few successful ringless walkthoughs we decided to make a complete one no matter what. And we started searching for the most crazy ways to do it, even if at the first glance it seemed impossible.

It took us quite some time to make it, as it took a lot of thinking and, what's really important too, carrying these plans out.
Sometimes we had to TAS, because there are places which require implementation of very difficult tricks.

Our other goal was to use only Sonic as often as possible, along with zipping through objects glitches, but there are some areas that cannot be completed without either Tails or zips or even both. Though their usage tends to a minimum.

It was very fun, so after completing S3&K we started working on other games as well.

We also came up with an interesting way to play classic Sonic games when we were living in different countries: using Kega Fusion netplay we set up the controls so we could both control the first player and decided that one of us would only control the movements (d-pad) and the other one would control the jump buttons. It was very fun to complete the games in such manner, although we didn't make videos of it since it wouldn't be very intertaining. Although if you have someone who wants to play this way with you - we highly recommend it, since it's really fun!

We made more and more challenges for each other, some of which can be seen in the videos below. If anyone's interested in the process of making them, we'd love to answer any questions.

We look forward to the challenges anyone else can come up with and complete, or challenge us to do them.

I have noticed you guys have done a video on every sonic hack, and I do mean EVERY SONIC HACK. No matter how small. Saw your videos before, for well...obvious reasons.

*coughtheyhaveyettoplayanyofmyhackscough* Anyways I do enjoy your videos Razor, you must have had to practice a lot to complete some of these hacks. (Especially Cybernetic Outbreak, I love that hack but dang it's difficult. :P Varion is awesome though. xD)

I've always had my doubts on how some of the walkthroughs played out and I've been wondering which one's were Tool assisted, looking at some of the stunts performed in this abomination of a hack

Can anyone tell me if that version is official? I mean, the author has authorized to keep with that?

WOW I didn't know you were on Retro! Big fan of your videos, especially your glitch compilation. I actually used the one you did on Sonic 1 to fix up my hack a bit.
