New Game + means that you start the game with the 14 emeralds already collected so you can use HyperSonic very early in the game.
Glitchless (imo) is:
- no zips.
- no level warps (horizontal underflow).
- no camera wrap.
- no slope glitch
- don't go through any kind of objets (spikes, doors, barrels, lasers...) especially with hyper sonic double jump ability.
- don't skip mandatories bosses (I mean the ones at the end of acts 1 and 2) Skipping mid bosses in Sky Sanctuary is ok as long as you don't use the previous listed rules.
- Going into ceilings is fine (in HydroCity, IceCap and Sandopolis). It's possible to go into Marble Garden 2 ceiling to reach Knuckles' boss room. This ceiling is very broken, and you have to "break" some glitched walls to reach the boss room.
/!\ Very important note about Marble Garden and HyperSonic /!\
As killing a spiky badnick with double jump will make the game crash in act 2 boss fight, you have to be really carefull while you play both act 1 and 2. On console it does a reset, on most emulators it does a glitchy screen then you die.
2 solutions to avoid this glitch:
- play with sonic & tails
- don't kill spiky badnick with double jump (meh)
2 others solutions if you inadvertently trigger this glitch while running:
- die
- enter into a bonus stage via a checkpoint
PS : Sorry if bad english
PS2 : I use a GameGenie to disable HyperSonic transformation music, more infos here: youtube.com/watch?v=TIy70GhjcUc
Codes :
- disable hyper sonic music: REPA-C6YR
- disable super tails music: RFJT-C61Y
- disable hyper knuckles music: RF6T-C6V0
- transformation music stays off after cut scenes: RFPT-T6YC
