Espyo | Sonic Heroes in (exactly) 5 seconds @srb2Espyo | Uploaded July 2011 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Eggman tries to conquer the world, is defeated, a challenger appears, is defeated, everyone is Sonic Heroes.
5 seconds is surprisingly short. I had to squeeze the clips as much as I could for that hog last clip with Sonic saying "Sonic Herooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooes!". Regardless, I was able to fit Sonic saying those two words fully, but YouTube cropped the ending. Sigh... This is why we can't have nice things.
I did this mostly to see if a "Sonic Heroes in 5 seconds" video could actually be made in 5 seconds. Turns out it can, and it'll end up pretty decently.
Clips are copyright Sega and Sonic Team, whatever.

James Pond might make a comeback! https://www.facebook.com/jamespondgames
I did a TAS of Aquatic Games previously, but it was speed-oriented http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvbPSFyXpAA It turned out that it wasnt THAT good of a TAS, overall. So instead, I did a Tool Assisted Superplay, aimed for providing the most entertainment possible. Comments on the run are once again in the annotations. In the paragraphs below, Ill explain how each event works. Might have some spoilers on how the video goes.
(You should read this part after you watch the run:)
0:00 100 metre splash
Mash A and B to make James run and win the race. C jumps but costs some speed and is virtually useless.
My entertainment goal: let the Frog take a good lead, catch up with him and taunt him in the final stretch.
0:36 Kipper watching
Move with the D-Pad, jump with B and run with A to bop away all the balls that threaten to wake your friends up.
My entertainment goal: Finish as soon as possible (2 minutes, bronze) and mess with the balls along the way. Also, dont collect a single fairy fish thing nor alarm clock.
2:25 Hop, Skip and Jump
Run with A and B, jump C at the mark with C, and press C once more to set the angle of the final jump.
My entertainment goal: Use all 3 attempts to make interesting jumps.
2:56 Bonus event 1
Works like the previous event, except without hop and skip.
My entertainment goal: Not much, just make the biggest jump possible. And demonstrate a small glitch.
3:16 Bouncy Castle
Jump on the trampolines with B and perform twist (A) and somersault (C+D-Pad) combos.
My entertainment goal: Finish as fast as possible and splat on the ground once or twice.
3:53 Bonus event 2
Juggle the balls with A and C and press B to drop a new ball. Reach a certain point limit with juggles.
My entertainment goal: Juggle like crazy, I guess.
4:53 Feeding Time
Feed the fish with A, B or C, but remember to fill the bucket, by pressing the same buttons.
My entertainment goal: Try to feed some fishes before they appear, and put myself in a tight situation on purpose.
6:46 Shell Shooting
Stomp on shells and pick them up with C as they land. Throw them with C to pop the balloons.
My entertainment goal: Hit balloons with all 3 methods: shell, jumping from below, and falling from above. Also, showing off two small glitches.
7:48 Tour de Grass
Circle the D-Pad clockwise and jump over obstacles.
My entertainment goal: Collect all butterflies and jump over all crabs.
8:22 Leap Frog
Run with A and B and jump over puddles and hurdles.
My entertainment goal: Jump? Duuuh... whats that?
I might improve this run, one of these days, and submit it to www.tasvideos.org")

My first attempt at this video had horrible sound quality:

I decided to redo it, this time with decent sound quality, that wont rape your ears.
Whenever you complete a level, the character with the most points will make a quick comment about the final score grade you got. There are 60 comments in all, 5 grades times 12 characters. This isnt true for boss battles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpoMX1lhXgU
I used cheats, specially to get a specific score, but thats not important. The amount of points in each clip is the minimum amount needed to get that grade. Thanks, Shadows Carbon Copy! http://www.gamefaqs.com/gamecube/914714-sonic-heroes/faqs/28886
If you want, create a video response with Creams A score comment. Im pretty sure it works in the GC, PS2 and Xbox versions.
0:00 Team Sonic
0:46 Team Dark
1:38 Team Rose
2:32 Team Chaotix
Finally, I had a rough time making this. Not only did WMM constantly acted up with the same stupid glitch (3:35), but it also didnt allow me to render the video, because there were too many clips (not that it tells you that). I had to render each half individually. Stupidly, when I went to render the first half, it couldnt give a proportional sampling-to-resolution ratio. The larger the sampling, the larger the resolution. But somehow, it gave SMALLER resolutions with higher sampling rates. Go figure, only WMM to do the impossible. So if you spot a small difference in quality when Team Roses clips start, you know why.
Additionally, adding the annotations on the video was another disgusting challenge on its own. The server crashed every few minutes, more often than not making me lose progress, and sometimes, when I reloaded the page, it displayed the annotations with tiny font sizes, and sometimes itd even mute the audio.
Alas. Im surrounded by horrible technology. And there are people that take pride in these things?")
