Sonic3 & Knuckles Flying Battery Zone

[IBlackSanta]

Wow congratulations i usually think im beating these levels fast and easily but i see im not hahaha

[CODFreak27000]

Who needs shields when you can do this?

[SONIC29210]

magnetic shield that's cool.

[RicktylifemusicFOB]

You're so freaking good!!! I'm speechless :D

[SuperDuperLightHog]

I hate how everybody complains about the barrel in carnival night zone, but nobody complains about the invisible entrance at 1:00 I was stuck on that for hours as a little kid!

[ise1880]

Is this tool assisted, its too good

[MRMIdAS2k]

@ise1880

Nope I'm just good.

and I restarted a lot.

[Pikazilla]

1:00

oh how the hell would i know i could enter the ship that way?

in that 1 minute of you showing off i died 10 times in 20 minutes.

[Rachman1337]

Nice to see a level with some detailed platforming sections and alternating directions.

The Generations levels were way too thin and lacked variety.

[RobloxOfKirby]

TOO FAST!!!!!!!

[roberto6074]

i love the music of zone 2 of flying battery

[urbanvic]

Damn, nice playing! You probably practiced a lot, didn't you? ;)

[ShadowDwiller]

Now this is what I call a real Sonic

[Danny9000]

6:00

Eggman is blowing up with Sonic's awsome score numbers.

[2223pokemon]

ha ha ha robotnick is flying awey with sonic scroes

[2223pokemon]

lol stupid robot its like sonic is saying why your hiting your self

[theGMANtheBOSS]

Of all the times I've played this game, I never knew about the movable spikes until now. o_O

[20krib]

SLOW, look on my channel for a world record sonic run

[MRMIdAS2k]

@20krib

Of your 2 videos, 1 is a sonic video, 1:40 in length, now, unless you waste 1:10 at the title screen, the only record that video will ever set is "slowest spastic in a sonic game"

[Enercroftt]

@MRMIdAS2k MrMidas is the best sonic player in the world! :D im your fan! :D

[AnbuBlackOps6]

How long has sonic been a ninja?

[MichelangeloAlpha]

Holy fuck, i been playing this game for more than 7 years and i never knew that you could move the spikes on that part!

[eternal0star]

@MichelangeloAlpha I was thinking the same thing! I've owned S&K for like... 15-16 years now. I must have played that level around 150+ times and never found that secret.

[chupacabras83]

God damn it that was some skill there! I always lose my shields here and there and you could just sail through and you know exactly when to jump etc! Cool man! ^^

[rickkmurray]

not to sound racist or anything but are you Asian?

[robertvilla1]

nice im a classic sonic gamer and sonic 3 and knuckles was one of the funnest and longest classic sonic games i ever played now to get back to them lol

[SomaXCruz13]

OMG I cant believe I never knew about that spike pushing! I always thought it was weird that I could never find a single big ring in FBZ. This video just made my day!

[SleepyMilkshakes]

You know, if Sonic was real... THIS is how he would go through all the Acts. He would breeze through them like a motherfucking PRO. You... you're just awesome. X3

Also, 3:48-- "Hmm... is this what it feels like to be Knuckles?" *Assumes Knuckles' trademark flying pose* XD Cute~

[RocmanRaz]

Troll!  You're not new to it, lol. =) Nice video.

[Korn7369]

Im new to this game ( i know, its 2011) how do you make shields do weird tricks?

[MRMIdAS2k]

@Korn7369

double jump with sonic.

[MarioFanLevelz]

@Korn7369 well its never too late to play good games :P

[Korn7369]

Dude, whooaoaoaoao

[cjjjmj]

What the heck was that at 6:01 ?

[mattheweirk777]

(21-24) did u know there's a extra life right there in that conner!?

[MRMIdAS2k]

@mattheweirk777

yep, but getting it slows me down.

[darkstormass]

lol got hit once :P

[megaman129]

I've played this game my whole life and never even knew about 1:21 T_T

[drod2003]

epic yo

[KrazyBean14]

I wonder if the elemental shields will return in Generations...

[CopyNinjalv3]

@KrazyBean14 Yep :)

[Haruchan2010]

Damn man..you make me look like ass in comparison. Very nicely played!

[fiddlebender88]

I tip my totally rad hat to you.

[jasonbladex]

You have sonic's speed :)

[waabaakii]

Dude I came...

[faostube]

lol oh wow, you play just like me, we have the same speed, I thought only I could get through the levels this fast...great job!

[cinyaca]

That was impressive, MIGHTY impressive. I can't believe someone could just breeze through the Flying Battery Zone like that without getting hit once. Must have taken a shitload of trys to get it down like that.

[MRMIdAS2k]

@cinyaca

A fair few tries!

glad you liked the vid!

[JamesDerlien]

Wow, I was blown away by that! :) I can't believe how fast both acts were completed! :O

[SONIC29210]

I love it i love sonic he is so fast.

[9000nickhtube]

wow man i thought me doing it in 3 mins was fast!

[veekewdin]

IDOL 

[ScYtH3XX]

I have 3 things to say about this vid.

1. I never knew of the hidden room at 1:26 :o

2. You're so good that you don't have to separate Acts 1 and 2 apart.

3. You're a veteran at this game.

[Hausaun]

Nice run....surely you couldn't do that on your first try...how long did it take you to figure out how to breeze through the level like that? Or who taught you?

[MRMIdAS2k]

@Hausaun

So not my first try!

you'll notice I begin from the level select, restart to there if I fuck up.

I've has S&K since about 1996, so i've been playing a while.

[Hausaun]

@MRMIdAS2k lol ok I was just wondering. I haven't played these games in years and all of the secret spots and invisible ledges I've found by accident I've forgotten again lol But you and the guy who posted the vid of him breezing through the Death Egg are truly hardcore sonic fans to practice so much to breeze through those levels without being hit! Or getting hit only once! I love sonic too but wow lol

[LMOH1]

Props to Eggman for making a laser beam that destroys his own ship.

Thumbs up if you agree.

[986710]

nice vid, i wasnt aware of the secret place at 1:25 !

[BrokenMonkey2]

wow that rediculous. you got these levels down to a science

[verseduk]

The cover's up man, cheers for the vid!

Luke

[MRMIdAS2k]

@verseduk

feel free to post as a response!

[transamman69]

this salsa is too chunky : \

[MRMIdAS2k]

@transamman69

My hovercraft is full of eels.

[transamman69]

@MRMIdAS2k Sometimes. This Beefaroni is not what I thought it to be

[FalcoPijpelink]

where can i find the world record for this zone? and that 1:56 for act 1 is done

with a glitch i believe, not sure :S

[kssael]

Awesome job @ 1:06! You've cleared a huge portion without Knuckles climbing on the right wall down there.

[FalcoPijpelink]

what's the world record for act 1? that 1:56 you mention in the description, was using the glitch with tails i believe?

[speedduelist]

your videos are awesome, you have serious skills. will you make speed runs for sonic 4 too? and also you should do newer games speed runs in unleashed,colors and sonic adventure. i am sure you would own sonic adventure using broken spin dashes like you abused the flame shield (that was epic and skillful specially how you time your jumps with the flame shields between platforms) :)

[MRMIdAS2k]

@speedduelist

I'm not a massive fan of the newer sonics, too many "skills" that are area specific, or just flat out too many death traps.

oh and I hate 3-D sonics, the concept doesn't lend itself to 3-D very well IMO, Mario 64 only worked because they overhauled the gameplay mechanics, the object was stars, not getting through the level, Sonic stuck with the "get rings, get through the level" idea, which didn't translate to 3-D very well.

[ppopping22]

damn, u speeded thru that shit, i could never go that fast without gettin hit

[durdenej]

its like Sonic Unleashed on the sega genesis :)

[tkdyo]

wow, never knew there was any emerald rings in flying battery. oh well, I still always managed to get all 14 before the end anyways :D

nice run, makes me feel all nostalgic

[GravoForce12958]

There's a Secret Life in Act 1. Before you go to the Handles with the flying Platforms,go into the right corner and jump.Most people don't know about it. Am i the only one who knew about it?

[MRMIdAS2k]

@GravoForce12958

no you're not, i avoid it here because it slows me down.

[FAILtubeguy]

emulater? try your hand at the original mega drive. if you still have yours, that is.

[MRMIdAS2k]

@FAILtubeguy

Course I've still got my Mega Drive!

Got a Nomad and a Multi-Mega too. but recording off that would involve tape-to-dvd-to-pc-to-youtube transfer, and thats too much dicking about.

[FAILtubeguy]

@MRMIdAS2k yeah, i kno.

[ChessPieceRook]

@MRMIdAS2k

i has a genesis, a 32x, and a sega cd. ^^

that, and i actually have 2 genesis....2nd model.....

one is goofy, as it locks up on certain sega cd games, and one that doesn't. ^^

that, and a copy of Sparkster!!! XD

[frmainada]

man i loved the music in Flying Battery! And them i noticed i was listening to Metallica's "Battery" on my music player, what a coincidence.

[SONIC2620081981]

maybe he wants you to prove it to him? thats just opinion.

[MRMIdAS2k]

@SONIC2620081981

well theres my runs on WWF Wrestlefest, Operation Wolf and X-Men Vs Street Fighter, done on mame.

[aesniper]

I heard a sonic 4 came out that's exactly like the old games

[randomancrossoverfan]

man last boss of this area is pathetic with knuckles, lol glides lots and bounces right over wheels and avoids fire entirely xD

[MRMIdAS2k]

@LatinaAmante

Point?

[MRMIdAS2k]

@LatinaAmante

What?

I'm playing on an emulator, which replicates the Mega Drive with close to 100% accuracy, how are my skills "fake"?

[Sauske20]

@LatinaAmante They're just a really good player. I have played Sonic games since I was ten and I'm still not that good lol.

[Yosher21]

@LatinaAmante

This isn't fake...you're just jealous of his awesome skills.

[Yosher21]

@LatinaAmante

Whatever, moron.

[SONIC2620081981]

dude man is a wizard?

[ImMalcolmiRock]

@SONIC2620081981 lmao thats what i was thinking

[SONIC2620081981]

@ImMalcolmiRock want t get the sonic collection on the Xbox is worth it?

[ImMalcolmiRock]

@SONIC2620081981 I dont know lol I dont have it

[SUTOruin]

Extremely well played.

[BlackBlur888]

I sense a assist tool.

[MRMIdAS2k]

@BlackBlur888

nope, just quick fingers, you learn stuff like that from Track & Field, Bishi Bashi Special and Stepmania.

[SONIC2620081981]

the sonic road block was after this game. :(

[SONIC2620081981]

sonic 3 and 4 came out the same year 1994 correct?

[SONIC2620081981]

how small is sonic like 3'2 in hight I mean.

[SONIC2620081981]

man dude you know know the zone like you know your own under wear?

[SONIC2620081981]

how fast is sonic going because it said that the sonic team had to slow it down a notch?

[SeriphanKnight]

this level had a great design but its such a pain in the ass.

[SONIC2620081981]

@SeriphanKnight how so bor?

they want to make it hard, not easy, but you are right its tricky.

[jmantime]

4:13 oh shit lazer breast

[MRMIdAS2k]

@tornadosirens100

I'm using an emulator yes.

[snowymech]

you got skills... i guess thats how sonic would have played if he had a genesis

[infenit101]

The sickest music.

[AwakenedCloud]

Spike Pushing = Mind Blown

[Nakushin]

I miss goin this fast in sonic games.... ; __;

[LoganXLA]

Man, that's still the most boss miniboss music ever.

[DarkDyllon]

there is hardly a difference between the s3k version of flying battery but stil the world record for act 1 was 1:55 by mayetala

stil a very nice speedrun:D

[irismey]

This is one of my fave levels. I remember getting beat up on of those torches.

[WVI]

Pretty cool.

[NeuronuclearDemon]

fuck your good haha. And I love the music. Sonic ALWAYS had the best themes

[LightSilver1010]

Wow, really cool playing! :P I'd like to learn playing so quickly!

[marko5115]

how fast can you do it with knuckles?

[MRMIdAS2k]

prolly a couple of seconds longer, give or take.

[endlesstalez]

hmmm i played sonic 3 before, but how come I dun rmb playing this stage b4? i tot the last stage is launch base zone...

[MRMIdAS2k]

Face-fucking-palm.

[LordZelkova]

@MRMIdAS2k

You made me lol'ed, good speed run. Did you use a rom or the real thing? (I pretty sure it was a rom but who knows?)

@endlesstalez

I really should not be answering you but it is S&K not S3. Totally a different game.

[MRMIdAS2k]

it's a rom, and it is S3K, i can select any of the sonic 3 zones too.

[megamannt125]

That's because this is part of Sonic and Knuckles, you can combine Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles to make one big game, Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

[PivotDemon548]

That zone is in Sonic and Knuckles.

[SereneNightmare7734]

@endlesstalez the short version has the last stage as the Launch Base zone...i.e., Sonic 3 BY ITSELF. The Knuckles part of the game name allows access to the other stages.

[MGX]

@endlesstalez What game is after sonic 3? There's your sign.

[mikeT1100]

wow ur good

[crazycool1128]

Man I love the music in Sonic. And you have some mad Sonic skills there

[BlackDaysBegin]

I can get 2:03 on act 1. and about 3:30 on act 2.

Not to hard of a level... especially since I got this game the day it came out :)

[SONIC2620081981]

I love the launch pad when the  zone starts fucking off the hook.

[sugarsosweethoney]

it seems like yesterday when I was playing sonic and knuckles I ALWAYS used to play it on the old sega box when I had it just before I broken it but I loved playin with sonic games including the new ones I wish I was 10 years old again when all games were adventurous and not so complicated lol =+D

[Uzair2gud4u]

maaaan u r awesome

[Zeffen1]

O,O (jaw drops from 0:24 till the end)

[vio2112]

Now that's some skill right there.

[thecakeofdestiny]

this is great :)

[fennaru]

3 words....

A

MA

ZING

ok...so its one word get off my back lol

STILL REALLY GOOD

[NsiderCustomrobo13]

This is my favorite stage ever <3

[CL0S3DProductions]

NICE JUMPIN MAN!!!!

[blackterror89]

oh yeah, im so impressed...

really, I am! :)

nice job

[eternalgod05]

flawless! 5 stars! XD

[dreamdewil]

Oh man, no other games have even come close to the feel of speed as the good old 2D Sonic games.

[Enclavefakesoldier]

Forgive me for my languange but holy $%#& you are good at sonic!

[SONIC2620081981]

can some tell how fast sonic is going.

[SONIC2620081981]

they have this game in hd for xbox 360 and play station check it out.

[MRMIdAS2k]

only Sonic 3 ATM.

[thearrah]

i pretty much hated Sonic 3

Sonic 2 is the best in the franchise to me..

that and maybe Sonic CD

[Sousuke15]

i agree. the audio track for part 2 is badass. man this brings back memories and alot of them

[TerminalGT]

God I love this audio track, especially Part 2.

And decent playthrough as well.

[robokou]

Sick run-through, man. Nice job.

[iluvyomumma]

woah!! such a sneaky place to hide that giant ring in act 1 when you opush that spike set at 1:20. no wonder i couldn't find some

[SONIC2620081981]

there is no way in hell mario can hang with this kinda of speed

he is going to be left in the dust

[SONIC2620081981]

i love the fire ball and the magnet

great job by the sonic team amazing.

[hal970fx]

this has to be one of my favorite audio tracks in the series.

[4ss4ssin00]

Very nice run man! and yeah that was some pretty awesome shield trickery.

[SONIC2620081981]

they have the ultimite gensis collection and this game is in hd  it looks so sharp

[MRMIdAS2k]

but does it SOUND right?

[marko5115]

so tell me how many runs did u have to do to get this good?

[MRMIdAS2k]

too many to count. once you get a good run going, it seems to fall into place.

[TARDISES]

moar like 9001, huh.

[jimmy5327]

Wow, didn't think you could actually hit the 2nd sub-boss. Too bad you still have to wait for it to 'self destruct'.

[SereneNightmare7734]

@jimmy5327 yeah, that part sucks...if you see a run of this zone by retrojuegoschile, he turns into Super Sonic and hit the laser 46 times in futility. I guess that sub-boss is "Sonic-proof"....

[SereneNightmare7734]

@jimmy5327 yeah, that part sucks...if you see a run of this zone by retrojuegoschile, he turns into Super Sonic and hit the laser 46 times in futility. I guess that sub-boss is "Sonic-proof"....

[theBRANDOProductions]

you idiot! you missed the emrald stage

[MRMIdAS2k]

You Idiot! I'm going for speed.

[hal970fx]

Nostalgia is dripping all over my desk now.

[jamin686]

What version of the game is this? The jumping sound effect is a bit different.

[MRMIdAS2k]

HQ audio in GENS

[xichotl]

I love the old Sonic games! I've never been too much into platform games, but these are just brilliant. The backgrounds are very vivid, the music just rocks, the characters are creative; I especially love Robotnik. The concept of releasing little animals is great. These games are creativity and effort at their best. Now that I'm done being carried away, great job on getting through the level so swiftly. Too bad our old Sega Mega Drive broke down years ago...
