A while ago, I had a vision for a video. Sonic Adventure 2 is full of strange stuff. Could I come up with an oddity for every level, and then compile it into a video?

While I was in the process of investigating what to do, my Dreamcast broke. This would be a problem. But with Economic Stimulus Day right around the corner at the time, it shouldn't be too hard to pick up a replacement there. So I did, and I started getting the clip segments I needed. Then I just had to combine them all into one video (and not get it to choke on 32 video files and 99 image files used to put it all together), see what my best production results would be, and wait an abnormally long time to get the green light for posting YouTube videos over 10:00 long.

The result is finally up.

You've probably seen some of those tricks before (a few were taken out of already-existing record videos), but I doubt you'll know of all 32 without having watched the video already. If you're having trouble comprehending some things, I accompanied the video with a text explanation: http://soniccenter.org/sm/files/sa2gt.txt

Any questions/comments?

I do believe this presents a problem.

No idea why that's showing up. I was able to view it while not logged in. Try again.

Sounds cool, but it would take forever to download such a long video on dial-up.
Maybe I'll look at it when I get a chance.

SA needs something like this. Except there's so much that it deserves a whole series of videos.

marth: can you come up with something from every level with every character? (I know amy and sonic won't have many problems.. but yeah.)

or even one from just every level? you could use tp-a, f-s, caisnopolis sonic or tails, etc.

Nice mods on the Level Complete screen

GLITCHES: 32/32 LO*L!

Auriman1 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 16, 2007, 09:46:49 pm »

I didn't know about many of those. I'll have to try them out sometime, or at least the more beneficial ones :P

Awesome vid, great job! =D

Of course!

behind-walls glitches:

Station Square (main): Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Big, Gamma (maybe Amy)
SS (casino/station): Sonic, Tails, Gamma (maybe Knuckles and Amy)
SS (hotel): Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Gamma
SS (city hall): Sonic, Tails, Knuckles
SS (sewer): Sonic, Tails, Knuckles
Mystic Ruins (main): Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Gamma
MR (Angel Island): Sonic, Tails
MR (jungle): OH NO!
MR (The Past- pyramid): OH NO!
MR (The Past- altar): Sonic (maybe Tails)
Egg Carrier (main): Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Gamma
EC (transformed- back): Sonic, Tails, Knuckles
EC (transformed- front): Sonic, Tails
EC (main hall): Knuckles (maybe Tails)
EC (pool): OH NO!
EC (tower when transformed): Knuckles
EC (captain's room): Sonic, Tails
EC (prison): Knuckles
EC (hammer area): OH NO!

Emerald Coast 1: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Gamma
EC2: Sonic (Tails and Knuckles, if you count that spring below the stage)
EC (Big): OH NO!
Windy Valley 1: Sonic, Gamma
WV2: OH NO! (unless falling out the bottom and dying counts)
WV3: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles
Casinopolis (main hall): Sonic, Knuckles
CP (Sonic Pinball): OH NO!
CP (NiGHTS Pinball): Sonic (if flying off the screen and dying counts)
CP (Dilapidated Way): Sonic, Tails
Icecap 1: Sonic
IC2 (Sonic): Sonic
IC2 (Big): Big
IC3: Sonic, Tails
Twinkle Park 1: Sonic (and Knuckles, if you count him)
TP2: Sonic, Amy
TP3 (mirror): Amy
Speed Highway 1: Tails (and Sonic, if falling into fake buildings counts)
SH2: Tails
SH3: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles
Red Mountain (Sonic): Sonic
RM (Knuckles): Knuckles
RM2: Sonic, Gamma
Sky Deck 1: Tails
SD2: Sonic
SD3: Sonic, Knuckles
Lost World 1: Sonic
LW2: Sonic, Knuckles
LW3: Sonic, Knuckles
Final Egg 1: Sonic (Amy, though barely)
FE2: Sonic
FE3: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Gamma

Chaos 0: OH NO! (Sonic can almost go through the ceiling, though)
Chaos 2: OH NO!
Chaos 4: OH NO!
Chaos 6: OH NO!
Perfect Chaos: Super Sonic (duh)
Egg Hornet: Sonic, Tails (getting around the walls before dying)

^List is incomplete, because I'm too lazy to finish. It'd include Chao Race Entrance and all 3 gardens.
Anyway, that's just behind-walls stuff. I can easily get a good glitch for every stage
(except maybe some boss stages), but some characters would have to be skipped at least a few times.

But actually, I can't really make a good video. I could try to make videos with the webcam,
but low quality can be expected. Also, a dial-up internet connection doesn't help.
(I could probably get around that problem using a DVD, though.)
Maybe I could choose some glitches and get someone else to do the dirty- er, fun work.
(That'd take out most of the fun, though. Seriously, it would.)

lol... i love the glitches that make the game look gay.

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #10 on:** February 04, 2007, 01:30:28 am »

A month ago, I thought that video would be the only one of its kind. There were a few tricks left, I knew, but not enough for anything near as comprehensive as that.

Then, in a span of a week, I racked up enough clips to match the original video's set of 32...and then some. Once again there's something for every level, and some levels even have 2 new tricks.

Behold! The Unnamed Sequel! (and...its guide)

Rick_242 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2007, 02:21:50 am »

Very impressive since only one person worked on it and it was done in only a week. Great job.

eggFL · « **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2007, 06:11:02 am »

Great job.

Wow, I actually never seen Big that up close. (I own SA2B) I didn't know he dances, and that you can touch him. =P

Groudon · « **Reply #13 on:** February 04, 2007, 08:49:57 am »

So that's why that ring on Sand Ocean is in a bizarre location at the end on Gamecube.

P.P.A. · « **Reply #14 on:** February 04, 2007, 09:14:40 am »

Awesome. Are these glitches only possible with the Dreamcast version? Or with Battle too?

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #15 on:** February 04, 2007, 09:24:16 am »

In the first one, all tricks were GameCube-accessible except Metal Harbor, Eternal Engine, and Dry Lagoon.

This time, I know the second Metal Harbor trick doesn't work. I'm not sure, but I suspect that the first Eternal Engine trick and Mad Space might not work.

P.P.A. · « **Reply #16 on:** February 04, 2007, 09:43:22 am »

I see. Thanks.

Crowbar · « **Reply #17 on:** February 04, 2007, 09:45:03 am »

I didn't know SM played ITG. :o

I liked Knuckles' for Aquatic Mine and Meteor Herd the best.

eggFL · « **Reply #18 on:** February 04, 2007, 11:09:35 am »

Heh, Big rings explained.

I like how you can glide underwater. I am finding out nice TA stuff here.

Also, nice song for the 2nd part of the vid. The 3rd song I believe. (ooh song credits. Reflection Theory is it) The 1st vid had a pretty good song too.

*gasp* Knuckles can glide sideways =O just like SA1

Epic glitch for the last story. I guess that explains that rule the site has for it.

Again, excellent vid. You know, my bro actually sat down and watched the entire first vid with me? That must mean it was good! (SA2 is the only Sonic he likes)

Selphos · « **Reply #19 on:** March 11, 2007, 06:34:06 pm »

These vids are AWESOME.
Lol, look at how many n00b posts there are. "how u do super bounce?!" Figures.

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #20 on:** December 21, 2007, 04:27:29 pm »

I guess there isn't going to be a part 3 after all.

But there is going to be a part 2.5. In fact, you can have it right now: http://youtube.com/watch?v=NYkYIqWtp14 There are fewer tricks, hence the half, but they're a lot longer: part 1 had 32 tricks in 15:20 and part 2 had 41 in 21:05, but this one manages to fill 14:13 even though there are only 15 trick segments. Some of the techniques came naturally from TA discoveries, so those won't be as surprising if you've been following the videos for that game, but it can't hurt to watch and see what you think of the rest.
