Let's Glitch Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Updated November 17th, 2009)

GoldS · May 7, 2009

Thought this might be interesting to some of you. I have seen a couple of topics about glitching Sonic games, anyway.

I'm starting something I did a long time ago over again -- glitches and oversights of Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Going in order this time, starting with Angel Island Zone. See stuff you may or may not have seen before! Find out subtle differences between Sonic 3 and S3&K! Join along why don't you?

Inspired by Xkeeper's Link's Awakening LP, there are now in a new annotated format. Leave them on to maybe learn something! Turn them off if they're really annoying and stupid!

Introductory video / basic techniques.

Interesting stuff. I look forward to seeing the other oddities going on in the other stages.

You also did the cool Video showing the 255 Lives glitch in Sonic 1 (Various Versions) and Sonic 2's Aquatic Ruin Zone

Good video by the way!

Heheh, cool. I can't wait to see what types of things Hydrocity has in store.

Chibisteven · May 7, 2009

That was some pretty intersting stuff. Can't wait to see what's in store for the other levels.

Phithpleis · May 7, 2009

Nice videos. I like how some glitches can be good.

Master3k · May 7, 2009

I like what I see. Looking forward to see more videos!

JDAdams · May 7, 2009

Ah, I knew I'd got back into AIZ1 from Act 2 back in the day! Thank you so much for showing the method. And the other cool stuff :v:

Nice job, you found some very interesting glitches, some of which have already been posted on the Internet, but most of them I've never even heard or seen.

Great job indeed, looking forward to your future videos!

Leo · May 7, 2009

awesome!!!! keep up the good work!

Overlord · May 7, 2009

Very nice, looking forward to seeing more =P

I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting this big of a response. I'll get to work on Hydropolis Hydrocity now.

Shadic · May 8, 2009

That was really interesting. Want to see more, for sure.

Skyler · May 8, 2009

That was quite something. It's amazing how many glitches in this game can be beneficial and/or pretty damn cool, and you don't even need Debug Mode. I've seen some of those before, but most of those are new to me. Looking forward to more! :D

Peruant · May 8, 2009

I never bout the 2P Tails thing and the other glitches. Man, that's cool.

Seen my youtube post eh? :P

Here's a question, did you find most of these glitches on your own? Stuff like the goalpost-act 1 music glitch I've read about on the Internet, but other things such as the glitchy title screen were news to me.

Most of the glitches in that video I found on my own. The method of resetting of the Act 2 boundary I found based on a post someone made in this forum. The first glitch in the Angel Island video was something I saw in a TAS video. I knew about the act 1 music glitch before, but I didn't know that it was different between Sonic 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The tube rejection I've seen a couple times before (it took a while for me to get it to consistently happen).

And I think the last glitch/oversight/whatever is common knowledge.

I've been subscribed to you for a while now, you never fail to impress.

Does anyone know of something like Windows Movie Maker that lets you compile different movies together but lets you save stuff at 60 FPS and is free? For some stupid reason WMM is limited to 30. The raw footage is at 60 so I'd like that retained.
