Sonic The Hedgehog Speed Run 13:54 Glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2023-06-24 | This is my speedrun of the original Sonic The Hedgehog (1991) for the Sega Genesis in 13:54 IGT achieved on May 2nd 2023 and livestreamed on TwitchAfter TWO runs that finished 14:01 and one 14:00, I finally broke the minute barrier with this run :DHope you enjoy :)PS: Happy Anniversary, Sonic ;)
Sonic The Hedgehog - Star Light Zone Act 2 - 23 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2022-07-10 | Sadly, the jumps from 0:12-0:20 are all inconsistent af, but hey, a 3 second improvement over my old ILIt's worth noting, that you can also get to the upper level at 0:12 and finish the level in 24 seconds.
Consistent Star Light 2 50+ Rings Route in 0:27 glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2022-07-10 | Saves ~5 seconds in the "All Emeralds Glitchless" categoryPersonally, I'm starting to like this strat even for regular glitchless...you lose one second compared to top route, but top route 26s are fairly difficult and rely on a frame-perfect jump.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Labyrinth Zone Act 3 - 1:12 glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2022-02-19 | Ringless ✔Damageless ✔Bubbleless ✔The damageless bubbleless variation isn't new, flower did it already 3 years ago. Combined with a faster start, since we can omit rings, I was able to save a second.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Labyrinth Zone Act 3 - 1:13 glitchless [obsolete] Tee-N-Tee 2022-01-05 | One second saved due to tighter movement
Sonic 2 - Metropolis Zone Act 2 - 41 seconds glitchless (Super Sonic) Tee-N-Tee 2021-04-10 | I was browsing my hard drive and found this run from June 2020.
Consistent Green Hill 2 Level Wrap Tee-N-Tee 2021-03-01 | Full jump on the rock, full jump to the very edge of the bridge pillar (pretty precise, it's a 16 pixel wide flat part), full jump to the flat terrain beside the rock with the yellow spring (EDIT: I suggest landing flush beside the rock with the spring with 0 horizontal speed and only then accelerate), walk over to the spikes, when somewhat close to the spikes do a 7-frame jump, repress a jump button so that you get a big bounce off the Buzz Bomber, enter the wall. From here, it's business as usual, hold right for 2-7 frames for a successful level wrap and a ~24 frame window to start holding left.EDIT: here's a gmv to watch it with input display http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1988848499/Sonic%20The%20Hedgehog%20%28W%29%20%28REV%2001%297fr.gmv Thankfully there's a backup should you get a 6- or 8-frame jump.6-frame jump https://youtu.be/Pzdzf2GiS_o8-frame jump https://youtu.be/FSW5oZCzQuw
Merry Christmas :D Tee-N-Tee 2020-12-24 | The hack is called "Sonic 1: Winter Edition" by EgorTFThis also works in original Sonic 1
Sonic The Hedgehog - Labyrinth Zone Act 2 - 53 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2020-12-11 | Most of the timesave compared to my old 55 comes from going left at the pulley section (0:48)I saw that strat in a twitch clip by flower. Good stuff.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Labyrinth Zone Act 1 - 42 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2020-12-05 | Most of the timesave compared to my old 44 comes from a different strategy with the floating platform (0:25)That strat is from Aglar's "no zips" TAS from 2011!Guess I never tested it thoroughly LUL
Sonic The Hedgehog - Spring Yard Zone Act 3 - 42 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2020-06-01 | Ladies and Gentlemen, the minute barrier is broken...The sum of my Sonic 1 IL speedruns is 7:59 :DDD
Sonic The Hedgehog - Scrap Brain Zone Act 1 - 27 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2020-05-08 | The last couple of days I've been trying out the known 27-route for this level and let me tell you, it's no fun at all. I had like 40 attempts at the "5% shot" and didn't get it once, so I looked into the matter more closely and lo and behold, I found a consistent method :D0:22 is the spot I'm talking about. In short, reversing directions or landing from a jump opens up the possibility for a 21 pixels/frame zip jump.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Marble Zone Act 3 - 26 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2020-05-03 | It's kinda funny that it took us over 8 years to zip the other way at the start LULHere's how it works, thread Sonic into the terrain as usual, hold left, once he's about to land, piano ABC, this should make him drop down a floor (though it doesn't work as much as I'd like, subpixels maybe?).Drop down straight, once you've landed, start pressing right, jump on the exact frame (1-frame window) and hold the jump for exactly 5 frames.Certainly not free but also not prohibitively hard considering it all happens in the first 5 seconds.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Spring Yard Zone Act 1 - 20 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2020-03-16 | Managed to shave off another second due to better movement at the start.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Scrap Brain Zone Act 1 - 29 seconds [obsolete] Tee-N-Tee 2020-03-14 | In April 2018, kaan55 showed a video where he used a sprite object within the floor to get slope glitch and be able to grab all the rings in Scrap Brain 2.So I went looking for these objects in other levels and it didn't take long to find them in Scrap Brain 1. Sadly, despite getting slope glitch quite early on, I couldn't find a way to beat the IL time with it.Last Sunday, pho was doing Sonic 1 at a marathon and he showed off a route I hadn't seen before.So I revisited this level...I'm quite happy with how 0:22-0:33 turned out, this is way easier than sticking to the lower route.P.S. I also managed to snag the score record, time bonus for the win LULP.P.S. Happy Pi Day everyone :D
Sonic The Hedgehog - Labyrinth Zone Act 3 - 32 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2020-03-10 | I'm at a loss for words.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Star Light Zone Act 3 - 31 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2020-03-08 | Recently people started doing a slightly different boss strat that saves about one second.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Scrap Brain Zone Act 3 - 6 seconds [obsolete] Tee-N-Tee 2020-03-06 | RIP SEVEN, we hardly knew ye LUL

Sonic The Hedgehog - Labyrinth Zone Act 1 - 38 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2020-03-03 | I remember trying out this route many, many years ago, but I only ever got very inconsistent results with it. Now, with a deeper understanding of how the game works, I know why...SUBPIXELSEntering the wall at 0:23 is easy and you should always get the good zipping speed and enter the 2nd wall, inside this 2nd wall is the crucial bit, you need to have a y-subpixel value between 160-255, you then exit the 2nd wall, jump on the first possible frame (piano ABC). Doing so, enables you to get through all the upcoming walls. You keep holding left through the entire process. Once you've exited the last wall, tap right to kick in the speed cap and you should land on the elevator.So yeah, 96 out of 256 subpixels work, that's a 3 in 8 shot or 37.5%
Sonic The Hedgehog - Final Zone - 1:11 (pause abuse) Tee-N-Tee 2020-02-29 | Oh boy, this one was quite annoying...You need to perform a perfect fast acceleration at the start and deliver the last hit on Robotnik on the last possible frame to juuust squeeze out a 1:11::59 (i.e. one frame later would've been a 1:12::00) In my opinion the hardest bit was regognizing a perfect start, since one or two frames off perfect looks almost identical. In case you're wondering what the pauses are for, here's an explanation by marzojr: "The boss does not do anything until it finishes loading its art. The art is loaded once the camera goes past a certain point; pausing the game after this point stops the in-game timer, but the art continues loading. This trick was found by Aglar for the no-zips run." Also shout-outs to @danielhall6888 who was the first to get this time RTA
Sonic The Hedgehog - Spring Yard Zone Act 2 - 28 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2020-02-28 | The section from 0:20-0:23 is the crucial bit, it's not easy but if you get it just right, the parts before and after only have to be ok for you to still get the 28.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Scrap Brain Zone Act 2 - 12 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2020-01-26 | QUADRUPLE FRAME PERFECTNow, it's thankfully not as bad as it sounds :DFor the first two jumps you'll immediately spot whether you hit the frame or not, that means resets are very quick.The third jump is the trickiest of the bunch, because it's frame perfect and you also have to press left exactly one frame before you jump. Luckily, the duration of the left press doesn't matter since you're performing a roll-jump, just make sure to switch back to holding right in time, so that you don't lose frames performing the wrap.
Zool (SMS) - Speed Run - Any% (Credits Warp) Tee-N-Tee 2020-01-04 | Holy smokes! It's Zool for the Sega Master System, the hottest speedgame in town.PS, sorry 'bout the low audio :(PPS, I used only one controller, since the two controller method seems a bit iffy for a 1-player gamePPPS, I have no idea how to time this LUL
Sonic The Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone Act 1 - 75430 Tee-N-Tee 2019-11-14 | I recently got myself a 4K monitor...what better way than to test it out with some Sonic 1 LUL
Sonic 2 - Metropolis Zone Act 3 - 1:35 glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2019-09-05 | Oh boy, I've saved the hardest for last...I think one reason for its difficulty lies simply in the length of the act.It's over 60% longer than the second longest act (0:59 Metropolis 1), we can disregard Sky Chase and the latter half of Wing Fortress is a cutscene.The other reason being, it's full to the brim with non-trivial jumps and strats.Tricky jump at 0:08 to preserve your speed, the part from 0:22-0:34 has to be almost flawless ("spring-to-spring", exiting the mesh cylinder pretty much at its highest point), so that you catch the platform while it's still high enough to clear the gap with a spindash. At 0:52, I wait for Tails, so that he can help with the upcoming part and damn, it's hard to get both characters running on the nut, probably a 1-framer. And after all of this, you still have to pull off the "newish" boss strat LULWhat's even crazier, the time could still go down by maybe 2 seconds if I hadn't had to wait for Tails, but I'm more than happy with the outcome, I nailed all the hard jumps and the boss strat.And with that my Sonic 2 "glitchless" ILs are complete, clocking in at 16:54 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzO4NtvTGZiHyMPET53_KkJJrN074t_Bp
Sonic 2 - Metropolis Zone Act 2 - 57 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2019-09-03 | After routing this level, I went looking if I could find old ILs to see how other people played this level and luckily I found this site https://archive.org/details/Sonic2_IL and sure enough Stanski had a way of avoiding getting hit by the Slicer at the start, so shout-outs to Stanski. This page is definitely worth a watch if you'd like to see the progression of all the levels and has some neat strats.
Sonic 2 - Metropolis Zone Act 1 - 59 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2019-08-26 | Pretty straightforward run, the first 34 seconds are identical to the RTA route.Doing the end bit glitchless loses only 8 seconds compared to the "nut clip".I got a couple 1 minute flat times, those were annoying, so I kept playing and was able to just squeeze out a 59 :D
Sandopolis 1 - Consistent RTA Strat Tee-N-Tee 2019-08-25 | A month ago, people found a new level wrap. While it's easier than the Tails manip we did before, the variance is quite big, losing 20+ seconds isn't uncommon.So I went looking for a setup and luckily the first idea turned out to work like a charm.Here's how it works. Mash or time ABC to get out of the sand, do a 2-tap spindash, you'll roll into the trampoline that turns you around automatically, you'll enter the sandfall, once you're back on the ground, do a 2-tap spindash, jump.Important note: had I jumped one frame earlier, it would've also worked, albeit a tad bit slower. To sum it up, all you have to do is jump within a 2-frame window and you'll get 1:11/1:12 consistently :D
Sonic 2 - Aquatic Ruin Zone Act 2 - 39 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2019-08-24 | Virtually identical to my glitched run, except for intentionally omitting the boss glitch, thus it's 3 seconds slower.
Sonic 2 - Metropolis Zone Act 1 - 39 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2019-08-22 | Three seconds saved over my old 42. Same route, just cleaner execution everywhere.The zip is still tricky, but I feel like, getting stopped by the red spring makes the timing a bit easier.
Sonic 2 - Metropolis Zone Act 3 - 35 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2019-08-14 | Kudos to sumerhays, who came up with a setup for the boss fight back in July 2017 that saves 6 seconds.
Sonic 2 - Casino Night Zone Act 2 - 55 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2019-08-12 | Normally, the 55 is dead unless you get all the bits right, but Tails cooperated (0:22), usually he isn't high enough to be beneficial, and that meant, that I could just snag the 55 even with a bad bumper section (0:27)For the end, I came up with a different way to drop down without making use of the flipper clip (0:35)
Sonic 2 - Oil Ocean Zone Act 1 - 57 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2019-08-11 | For this level, I made the deliberate choice to not spindash under level architecture since it would look quite jarring in a glitchless playlist.
Sonic 2 - Chemical Plant Zone Act 2 - 45 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2019-08-09 | Have you ever wondered how this level would look like if you couldn't trick the game into opening the door from the wrong side?Well, look no further ;-)There's two tricky parts to this level, the first is making the block cycle (0:09) and the second is jumping on the frame you land (0:14)
Sonic 2 - Oil Ocean Zone Act 2 - 48 seconds glitchless Tee-N-Tee 2019-08-06 | I think the Sonic 2 bug bit me again...I was looking at my recent videos and noticed I haven't uploaded a Sonic 2 video in over 3 years... a situation that needed changing asap ;-)The level itself is actually pretty straightforward, the only tricky bit is the boss fight. I opted for a riskier strat that saves maybe .3 to .5 seconds over the single-segment strat.BTW, if you're interested in more glitchless Sonic 2 ILs, here's a playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzO4NtvTGZiHyMPET53_KkJJrN074t_Bp
Sonic The Hedgehog - Marble Zone Act 1 - 15 seconds Tee-N-Tee 2019-06-29 | Definitely the most technical IL I've done so far.Done perfectly, fast acceleration on flat ground saves about 3 frames, but in this instance, due to the nature of the slopes at the start, it saves about 10 frames. The spot for the damage boost is pixel-perfect, the moving platform has to be high enough to push you into the wall (this is where the 10-frame gain from the start comes into play), tap right to align correctly, tap left for 1 frame and on the first frame it's possible to zip out, hold right for 6-9 frames, et voilà, level wrap LUL All that's left, is start holding left within an 8 frame window and you've got a time of EXACTLY 15 seconds and 59 frames. It's theoretically possible to get 15::58, pro: you can initiate the zip out of the wall on the first TWO frames it's possible and still get a 15 but the con is, you have to substitute the 6-9 frame press for a 2 frame press and the x-subpixels come into play (only ~42% work).The cons outweigh the pros on that strat imo, so I went with the 6-9 frame press.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Scrap Brain Zone Act 3 - 8 seconds [obsolete] Tee-N-Tee 2019-06-29 | The key to an 8 in this level is the ceiling zip at the end, but I've never had a clean zip in all the years, so I knew, I had to enter the lab...After spending some time with an emulator, I now have a better understanding of the zip. I'm fairly certain you can't get the clean zip by just holding left the whole time (what I've been doing), you have to tap right for maybe 2-3 frames at some point.Despite having that knowledge the clean zip is still quite inconsistent and the execution has to be very clean throughout the level to nab the 8.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Scrap Brain Zone Act 1 - 31 seconds [obsolete] Tee-N-Tee 2019-02-10 | The first 14 seconds are identical to the single segment route, but instead of landing in the pit with the springs and monitors, you can just barely make it across with a jump. You have to jump off on the last frame where Sonic has ground contact though and just after that jump, tap left for four frames for proper alignment. A 30 is possible if you omitted the alignment jump inside the wall (0:16), but doing so would make it an order of magnitude harder.
Sonic The Hedgehog - Spring Yard Zone Act 1 - 21 seconds [obsolete] Tee-N-Tee 2019-02-08 | The history of the floor clip is actually quite funny. It was found by ChonKaL on July 1, 2016 while streaming GLITCHLESS speedruns LULhttps://www.twitch.tv/videos/75489669 He shared the clip on the Sonic Discord and once I saw it, I immediately opened up an emulator to play around with it, since it looked quite promising and sure enough, you can save 2 to 3 seconds with a zip to the end.For whatever reason, this trick then lay dormant for two and a half years until now.It turns out to be quite doable for an IL. A 20 is possible with more aggressive play at the start, but I wanted to have as many attempts at the floor clip as possible.Ultimately, shout-outs to ChonKaL for jumping at spots where no human has jumped before :D
Scrap Brain 2 - Single segment viable strat - 0:14 Tee-N-Tee 2019-02-02 | So, I've been looking into finding some consistency for Scrap Brain 2 and I've made progress. Hold only right at the start, full jump just before getting the sixth ring (frame perfect), switch from holding right to holding down just before landing on the cog (some leeway) and jump off of the cog after 4.5 rotations i.e. Sonic is at the 6 o'clock position for the 5th time (frame perfect)Then after hitting the signpost, do 2 full jumps, the first one for accelerating to the right faster and the second one to keep control of Sonic during the score tally.Sadly, for the next part, I haven't found a consistent method yet...We're good on the y-subpixels though, following the setup ensures a good value, so that you always clip through the ceiling, but whether you end up to the left or the right of the laser depends on your x-subpixels.How I understand it, you only clip to the left if your x-subpixels underflow the moment you clip through the ceiling :D and that happens every 4 to 5 frames…For comparison, the best sb2 time people have gotten in runs is 0:31, averaging ~ 0:35 (by comparing the sb2 time of the top 5 runners PBs), so a 0:14 means a big time save.I've also made a gmv http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/get/464273680/Sonic%20The%20Hedgehog%20%28W%29%20%28REV%2001%29-SB2%20RTA%20Strat.gmvIf I were to guess the success rate of the whole trick, I'd say 1 in 20 right now, though I can see people getting more consistent, especially with the part before the level wrap. Compared to the well-nigh impossible 1-in-500-IL-strat, a real improvement.
