The lesson I learned from this episode was that knuckles breaks everything. And somehow doesn't crash the game whilst doing so.
Yeah... 😅
That dog is adorable

Knuckles breaks rocks, knuckles breaks the universe.
Its because of the master emerald.

He is a fan after all.
eusebios1989 he has a good choice of videos then
Theres still a way to get Knuckles in Sonic's act 1
eusebios1989 is it fixed in the switch version?

LOL! 😆😆
Cool
@@galixy_gacha5926 How do you guys keep finding these comments I was like 12 when I wrote this
Another bug: In debug mode, if you get past a Signpost by placing it during the final boss, the game will send you to Egg Reverie and you will fight the true boss with all the chaos emeralds even if you don't have them all. However, even if you win and the credits roll, you'll still get the bad ending and no chaos emeralds will be on your save file
Yeah, however its intencional. As this was done to avoid people cheating to unlock the true ending.
On the Switch Version, I completed Act 2 on Hydrocity zone and my game randomly softlocked while dropping down the hole. Luckily, I could still head to the next stage but it was kind of scary.
Same
I got stuck in Mirage Saloon Act 1 After the Boss In Encore Mode (The act finished it just never transitioned to act 2)
4:22 i guess that was a "Collision Chaos"
This glitch happened in a paraffin video
Patafoin
Just pulled off the Final Boss softlock as I was rewatching this. However, Tails only got caught by one hand.
So you didnt do the soft lock
@@egpicgammer232 But did he get stuck?

2:05 to 2:09 My names Sonic, your probably wondering how i got here 😂
I can't wait for people to start using this in speedruns
Speedrunners run games almost immediately. I have no doubts that there is already a world record up on the leaderboards.
Actually, there aren't even any glitchless runs for Sonic Mania. www.speedrun.com/sonicmania/full_game If you look there, you'll see that no one has submitted a run yet (as I'm typing this)
there's no runs at all
Tha Duffster most of them were already being used before this video even happened, most notably the Knuckles in Sonic's GH1 which is the current WR start in Knuckles TA
Tell that to Sonic '06 runners and DarkSpinesSonic.
The one when the ufo goes backwards is how I actually got that emerald lol. I was kinda confused.
Me 2. Get the joke? You have 2 Likes and I was confused 2!
+PIKA SONIC I am ashamed of your very existence.

Then we skip to Sonic Mania 5
Glitch: if you go to hydrocity zone with knuckles and with all chaos emeralds, turn super next the spikes beside the half pipe thing before the boss and you clip through the ceiling
3:32 super sayin blue in a nutshell
when I played I got the knuckles plane mirage saloon glitch and didn't even know it was a glitch, I thought knuckles was just being a badass 😂
Same here 😂
Same.
So many people ending up with the same glitch makes it a bug. If it can be done so easily that speaks a lot about their testers and quality assurance.
Omg XD IMA TRY THAT
3:59 Sonic: I put too much hair gel on
2:05 *playing to be continued meme*
Andy thanks for this it’s even 3-4 years since I have always wanted sonic mania and I wanted to try these so thanks again
Hmmmmm... Needs more *& Knuckles* Opens options menu Internal happy
There is an easter Egg that allows you to play as knuckles & knuckles
jz1207 that's what he is referencing
1:08 *Sonic Mania 2 confirmed?!*
Its canceled..
Thanks for showing me Glitches #5 and #6! Actually very helpful cuz I suck a whole ton in special stages (I feel like I'm not supposed to say that last part-)
7:52 My Fav also the quote u said "he just went straight up *NINJA* and didn't show up until 20 seconds later when he suprise attacked me" made me laugh
Gotta glitch fast!

I hope they need to make a 10 part series like they did with s3 I think
smiffwilm yayyy
Ok yu narukami
Hey guys, Me, Beta64 and Shesez all decided to do Sonic Mania episodes of our shows. Check them all out. Thanks for the support and enjoy this new episode :) A+Start
A+Start wooooo
The special stage 4 glitch happened to me and I didn't know what to do
A+Start why did u make this so quick
Another Glitch: At the end of Hydrocity Zone Act 1, drop dash off screen and the game will softlock.
All three make a Video about sonic mania👍
5:26: 95% of the people thinks tails is useless 5% of the people thinks tails is usefull especially in this situation
Dogwater, he saved my life and helped me get the giant rings.
Fr he helped me with a boss
I was playing Mania on my friends switch and was on chemical plant zone, and glitched into one of the loop walls. Also, in sonic classic collection, I did the Blue super sonic glitch which was really dope
''Spoiler Waring'' oops Andy messed up xD
Oh yeah!!
Rip grammar
Delete and reuploaded?
It's just a glitch. Deal with it.
Wa RING LOL
0:08 Brand New... Classic?
Now that is Kinda Confusing
TRY SOMETHING NEW SEGA!!!!!
Brand new mania
@@StagnantBean956 they tried that for 5 years and all of the games were absolute bullshit
A brand new game for classic sonic that's what he means
I honestly haven't seen this intro in so long and I love it
You know this video will never get old to me I've watched it multiple times
Wow. I was quick getting here when it was first published. I guess you could say... GOTTA GO FAST!
Finally another son of a glitch :D
ImShivvr Bitch**
lol
why am I laughing?
ImShivvr ikr yay
Lily Mega Eevee agreed
0:50 Sonic Underground xd
why has it been SIX YEARS SINCE THIS I FEEL OLD
I dunno if the glitch is new, but I've found out that if you activate super sonic just as you take damage you become blue super sonic as well, however you also loose all the collision and you can't interact with springs, enemies or even rings. The only way to get out of this is to restart the stage or exit as for some reason sonic ignores the ten minute timer as well. It's weird lol. Try it for yourselves.
that the other way to do it but it useless cause u can't interact with stuff so it wasn't mention
Entity Hin oh ok thank you for telling me :)
Yep i did it in titanic monarch act 2
if you use debug mode and use the super monitor as soon as you hit it go into debug and find the spin ball thing put sonic on it he will spin there for a bit then he will move and you get blue super sonic easy done
+DARK 1234 best done on green hill or stardust speedway act 2
It's not a sonic game *WITHOUT* any glitches. .^.
Motovation it's not any game without glitches
Motovation even Ocarina of Time (the so called _"perfect"_ game) is famous for its glitches in the speed run community.
Motovation 06 was the best .
To be fair that can be said about any game.
Motovation Its not a game if there are no mistakes cause that means it would have been made by a computer trying to mind control us alll
3:20 i thought bunny hopping was only for source games- guess i was wrong!
0:39 Right before he got to the ring the background changed xp
10:34 that happened to me the first time I played Mirage Saloon. It was amazing
I once did a glitch where I had debug mode on, and when I beat Metallic Madness Act 1 by skipping the boss and activating a non-debug sign post, Act 2 had nothing but collision of the main level, crushers, and Eggman tiles. There weren't even lazers, or even screen locks, a boss, and the capsule! Also, debug wouldn't let me place things. I call it the "Phantom Madness" glitch. (I think I'm the first to discover this :D)
O_O?!
That’s so cool!!
Star dust speed way act 2 has a glitch involving a rocket and a stretchy thing, jump on the rocket near the top of the stage and move left on the rocket so when it explodes you'll land on a stretchy thing on sit still for a bit and the stretchy thing will despair while you're on it so you get stuck
3:33 So a glitch allows Sonic to go super saiyan blue. Cool!
Knuckles in Japan: Knuckles the echidna Knuckles in Mexico: Knuckles the enchilada Edit: thx for the likes!! 🦔 🦊

yes, he is mexican

3:37 "so what you're a super Sonic with blue hair now" Sonic: "It's a bit more complicated than that! It's like a super Sonic with the power of a god" Super Sonic God Super Sonic
Ultra instinct sonic or God ki sonic 😂
@@titaniumspear7772 thats hyper sonic, ultra instinct actually -stole- got inspired by it
the "hi im sonic how did I get here" at 2:05 was at the beginning of the sonic movie, and yet this was released two years before the movie.
I found this one glitch in Mirage Saloon Act 1 that came up while I was trying to do the softlock glitch. Apparently, if you restart the act during the boss fight, then sometimes, Knuckles' sprite won't appear, and Knuckles won't be on the plane anymore. It still acts as if Knuckles is on the plane. I don't know what causes this glitch, but it's pretty random and pretty cool.
8:13 How the Mexicans will *truly* cross over trumps wall
oops, my system crashed, and I lost all my data! But I had an antivirus! EDIT: Woah Lots of likes and replies, but most people don’t get the joke

well it is not funny

*googles it* OH NO IT'S HIM!
I just came back to this video and i also just realized its 6 YEARS OLD dude i didnt realize how long its been since mania realesed
10:45 i think i actually ran into this by accident while messing with debug lol
1:40 on my first playthrough that happened to me.....TWICE! So now I have a mini heart attack every time I beat that boss.
Pffft guess your stuck in the TUBE of things
Just make sure you have Tails with you, I’m spretty sure he can fly you into the tube
Iris Huisman pretty
Finally son of a glitch I love this series!
3:35 Me: Its False Super Sonic Dude
3:03 literally just bhopping
5:05 That glitch is also in Sonic 2 Casino Night Zone.
Were? How was this discovered?
Oh yeah i also activated it I was confused af It's also on the IOS version
what zone 1 or zone 2
If you're in Studiopolis Zone Act 2, after defeating the boss, you can knock the sign post out of bounds. Using the Thunder Shield as Sonic, you can bounce the sign post over the top of the screen, and it will not come back down. Apparently, the sign post considers the top of the screen to be solid ground, and the sign landing on it will end the stage like normal.
There’s one simple glitch to do, and yet I discovered now. First, you’ll need an electric shield. Next, go to a ring with an enemy next to it. Touch the enemy before the ring goes to you. If this happens, the ring(s) will scatter somewhere else.
Im pretty sure thats intended.
despite watching this vid after the game was released i knew about the press garden act 2 boss glitch as ive seen it happen live, had no clue how to do it though
The Mania does not even stop here.
Hi Andy, I found a game crashing glitch, Start up the game, click the button to brings you to the Game Select, back out Hold down Y and B until the press any buttons appears, when while still holding those buttons press another button You should be at an old school stage select Go to Chemical Plant act 2 with debug mode enabled, Go to one of the bonus stages from the checkpoint, you have to win at it, Go to another bonus stage from another checkpoint, you have to win at it as well, When sonic (tails or knuckles) go to grab the 2nd mettle, the game should crash
that seems absurdly convoluted and not something that anyone would do naturally.
Snivy Films Cool! I tried it.
It's not just in chemical plant
Snivy Films how did you discover this
TBH, I didn't intend to, I loaded up Chemical Plant act 2 with the old style debug menu, I finished 2 bonus stages and just before I collected the metal on the 2nd one my game crashed, I found this on complete accident
You are missing the Lamp Post Bonus Stage glitch, where you are allowed to take as many special stages as possible, even if you hit the previous lamp post then the next back and forth.
Knuckles crashing on the ground “OH NOOO”
2:30 A zoomout for boundary break!
It can't be a Sonic game without Glitches.
Spinosaurusking875 so true
Thank you for the special stage tick I was stuck on the 3 one
I'd like to mention that the mean bean machine boss battle is a direct reference to the game "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine™" from 1993, which is itself an Americanized version of the Puyo Puyo puzzle game from Japan, with villains from the Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog.
8:24 KNIGGLES THE ENCHILADA MADE IT PAST TRUMPS WALL
Ah yes, Knuckles The Enchilada.
@@JakeTLT oh my god

"WE'RE GOING DOWN!" "AHHHHHHHHH!" "... Meh."
Another Glitch: Using Debug mode, if you place a goal sign in the final boss area, it brings you to the Egg Reverie Zone/Boss, even if you aren’t playing as Sonic. The fight actually works as normal with the other characters, and when you beat Egg Reverie, it plays the regular cutscene. If you place a goal sign in Egg Reverie and interact with it, you instantly die, likely due to Super form getting deactivated. However, if you use Debug Mode to prevent yourself from dying, after the score is tallied up, it takes you back to the title screen. Another way to get into Egg Reverie Zone (I think it’s Plus only)with other characters is getting there normally, then placing a cycle box (After Ray’s 1-Up) and hitting the box with whichever character you want to have. However, they won’t be able to fly like usual until they are knocked into the air. One final thing is the flying animations. Sonic, Tails, Mighty, and Ray use the moderate running animation,and Knuckles uses his gliding animation, which makes me think that everyone was able to get into Egg Reverie instead of just Sonic.
Fantastic. In Sonic 3, we had a gold Sonic with invincibility that doesn't jump as high or run as fast as Super Sonic and in Mania, we have a blue Super Sonic without ANY superpowers.
Hey guys! I found a new glitch in the Egg reverie fight! Yesterday when I was fighting the phantom king. I took damage, hit him and got pushed away at the same moment, but he did not dissapear, and neither did eggman appear so I thought I didn't hit him and continued the fight as nothing had happened. Soon after that I hit eggman, and then suddently he exploded! I hadn't destroyed the phantom king so he appeared, but it seemed like he had more health than normal. Whenever I hit him eggman did not appear. Finally the heavy king exploded but no portal had appeared, so now the game was softlocked. I haven't found any footage of the glitch (so far).
I had a similar glitch with eggman. He was just starting his attack animation and I hit him. He stayed on screen so I hit him twice. It then happened again later in the fight. I ended up killing him in 6 cycles. However, he came back the 7th time I hit phantom king, but he had the defeated sprite. I hit him again and then finished off phantom king and... eggman never reappeared so I had to restart the fight
Cameron O'Neil I Beat eggman before phantom king but it didn't soft lock I beat phantom king then get sent to the cutsceen where you beat eggman and the portal appears and didn't get soflocked and also I did it with debug mode but eggman was holding nothing and I didn't know where the phantom ruby was
Fly till you die!
@@sheenasutton6084 the phantom ruby went to the emrald spa
I never played sonic mania...
I found another glitch, like the blue super sonic glitch when you get turned small in metallic madness zone if you hold up and then turn to super sonic you get frozen whilst spinning in the air while the super music plays
Weird I never thought of doing that
I found a glitch in flying battery where if you use debug mode to place a bunch of checkpoints and enter blue spheres, returning to the stage will replace the background from inside the battery with the outside background. This still works in sonic mania plus
"Don't hold right the entire time" The end of the the level at the far right: B R U H
