I came in all smug, thinking you couldn't outwit me. And then you brought up the useless platform in SBZ3. Over twenty years of experience and I never knew this...

[suedonnym]

That despawning platform in scrap brain 3 is just my favourite flavour of utterly forgotten game trivia

[EndofanEratheband]

It's always a good day when rhs uploads

Right off the bat, I didn't know you could clip through the spike platform in Marble zone. But I knew literally everything else in marble zone! Arghh!! If you had just rearranged the order of all the marble zone tips, I would've lasted longer going into this video blind 😭 side note, I'm always happy to see you in my notifs

[Imfernolistico]

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Jokes aside, have my like, I genuinely didn't know about 90% of the information in this video.

Interesting, I had no clue about the Scrap Brain 3 platform! There was a mod for Sonic 1 2013 dubbed "Cybershell's Ring" that restored the single ring on the alternate path of Labyrinth 1 to the 2013 version, I believe named as such due to Cybershell making that single ring more well known. I patiently await someone creating a mod called "RedHotSonic's Platform", to restore our glorious platform so it can finally be seen the way it was meant to be seen.

Sonic 1 is underrated, the devs put a lot of secrets here

[hatelettersoficial]

I'm Brazilian and you're the only YouTuber I follow who speaks English. Keep making videos, I never tire of repeating and repeating and repeating the whole channel! <3

[HugeAckMan]

Liking just coz you thought the platforms in Springyard looked like binoculars and now I can't unsee it.

[alexandrecarvalho]

You forgot some things:

a) The infamous Illegal Instruction crash which occurs in Labyrinth Zone 1 and 2. On Act 1 is easier to reproduce it than on Act 2.
b) The erroneous Camera-Y moving up under the start in Marble Zone 1 near the green rock - which kills Sonic immediately if done correctly
c) The "pit of death" in Green Hill Zone 1 due to immense speed on a loop
d) The secret path near the ending of Spring Yard Zone 2 (that one with a lot of rings)
e) Sonic can kill himself falling onto a pit if Eggman is hit on his departure sequence in Final Zone. If not hit, nothing special occurs if you try to jump off the platform
f) In Green Hill Zone 3, near the boss you will traverse a bridge... If you fall from a very high altitude, you can bypass the bridge collision and lose rings or shield instead. Sonic will not die because the pit is, actually, filled with spikes!

Regarding Scrap Brain Zone 3 platform, I really didnt know that :o However, I remember seeing that thing in Sonic Jam or another hack that I forgot the name...

[MizunoKetsuban]

See, this is the nice thing about Sonic 1: The speed is still there, you just have to use your head in order to get it, rather than it just being given to you.

[TheSunshineFeeler]

The only things I didn't know were the Labyrinth and Star Light death glitches! I never hear them discussed because most people don't like discussing "bad" glitches, I guess XD

[JamesR]

_Starts video_
Yeah, I've been playing this game in every incarnation for nearly 30 years. I doubt this'll contain much, but still could be entertain--
_Literally less than one minute in._
WHAT?!?!?!

[americanmeowth]

All right, ya got me at the Drillbot/death plane interaction in Labrinth Zone. I distinctly remember that happening to me a a few times as a kid, and had just chalked it up to being a mistimed jump.

[inendlesspain]

I knew about the secret room in Marble Zone with the single 1-up, but I never knew it was suppossed to be a shortcut, I always entered it through the right side.

[thedoctordb]

Knew a lot of these that just seemed like regular play through moments, but still a good chunk of new info! Very impressive. Glad this randomly appeared in my YouTube feed. Time to sub

[ElectricSparx]

Definitely learned a couple things from this video, especially that platform in Scrap Brain Act 3. Now that's a wild one.

[bingobo]

Fun fact: in sonic mania when 0:26 came back it was blocked so that you needed a fire shield, you would either get the monitors or a big ring depending on the gamemode your playing it on.

[bluecoldsonic]

I know i make this joke a lot but....





This video was definitely Straight to the point.
