Something Thorn mentioned to me on IRC, plus I have done so in my post and seen it on other people's posts are donation incentives. If you guys can think of any for the games you're offering then please do so. One last thing, for future reference if you have anything else to add like more games or donation incentives, please make a new post instead of editing your original one. By tonight I will be going through them and updating the game list and I might miss them. Just to be safe :/

[TimpZ]

I forgot, I'd be up for a race in Sonic Colours. I'm gonna practise that to marathon levels anyway since I'm doing it for ESA.

[Mastakirby]

Here is a list of games that I would love to submit for:

Sonic CD 2011: Either any%(21-23 mins.) or Good Future(Safe ETA of 30 mins) is cool with me. I guess as usual JP vs EN soundtracks would be the up for war.

Amy rose in Sonic the Hedgehog(any%): If rom hacks are ok I wouldn't mind submitting this as well. It's funny how changing a few player mechanics can make me fall in love with this hack(25-27 mins).

Vector in Sonic the Hedgehog(any%): Once again wouldn't mind playin' if hacks are cool, used to mess around with this game a lot (Safe ETA of 15 mins).

Sonic Advance(Knux any%): I'm sure there are other's who can do this but here is another I would not mind running (21-23 mins).

Sonic R (Any% no OoB): Another one that I would not mind watching instead of running, donations would obviously be for karaoke(16-17 mins)!


Games that I would rather watch/run if no one else does:

Sonic the Hedgehog 2(any%): I'm not too bad at this so if worst comes to worst I would not mind (Safe ETA of 30 mins).

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG(Sonic no MSG): Ah sonic 06, can't have a sonic-thon w/o it(Safe ETA of 1:15:00)!

Sonic the Hedgehog GG version(any%): Would much rather watch this but I am decent at this(22-24 mins).

Sonic the hedgehog Genesis(any% anniversary): Bottom of the barrel atm, I have yet to implement any of the new strats into a single segment run but I would guess I can easily sub 30...as long as the game doesn't troll me.


One last note......actually 2 notes...three thats it I swear:

First off just as a warning I am expecting the start of the later half of this year to be EXTREMELY hectic for me so depending on what goes down I might not be able to run anything at all, but who know what life has in store.

Numero dos, I would not mind racing ANY of the listed games above. Heck I'll even race Sonic games that I know I will get bodied in, I just love racing that much.

Three, here is a list of pb's including the ones for the games I listed above for the organizer's(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArbOE1ucotIBdHRuYlVwdUQtTE4wQWlZWnhhWEtQcWc#gid=0).

...Ok I lied, four I hope that ya'll can make this as fun as this was while I was watching last year. ^.^

[BrokenArthritis]

WE all know what I"m offering..
Sonic Unleashed all stages. day/night and eggmanland
estimate- 2 hours

[Blast]

Well ... lets submit something :

Sonic Riders - Both Stories (35-40 minuntes)

Sonic Riders : Zero Gravity - Both stories (50 minutes , kinda same with SilverSonic , because theres not so many skips or strats like the vanillia Riders )

Sonic Unleashed - All Nights stages ( because Logan dont know how to Night stages Kappa) (45-55 minutes)

[Inuyasha]

I'd be willing to do literally any single player SRB2 run you could think of, schedule permitting.  Preferably Sonic All Emeralds, but you know.

[Xcdin]

I can offer sonic riders both stories or the two stories separate though i would have to practice some if we wanted to use some of the major skips.

[flying fox]

I have updated the marathon list so please try to not edit your posts because I won't see them or remember if I have added it. If you do then let me know so I can update the list.

[ike6252]

I hope I will be able to run SADX (GC) 1:00
I won't be home between 16/08 and 26/08...

[FocusSight64]

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) - Shadow's Story (No MSG%)
Estimate: 1 Hour
Donation Incentives: Team Attack Amigo (Estimate: 17 - 19 Minutes)
Notes: I might not be able to make the date for this, depending on when it starts, due to the fact I'm leaving for Australia later this year and may have to pack up my 360 some point soon. Along with that, I won't be here in late August for a vacation. That's the issue. Still, I'd like my name put in for this, even if it doesn't seem completely likely.

[DsSaster]

I'll offer up two things

1) Sonic Lost World - Any% Wingless (Estimate - 1:30:00)
2) Sonic Heroes - Team Rose Story (Estimate - 50:00)

[SpinDashMaster]

As for S3K, mine will be a 2-hour "style" run as Sonic. It won't necessarily be a TA (Though I will play efficiently), since our plan with S3K is to allow custom tracks to be played on the PC version, based on donation wars. In short, I really liked Thorn's idea.

What you'll more-or-less see ingame is me "dancing to the beat" and aligning jumps, spindashes, turns and the like to be in time with the music.

I'd like to allow time for these tracks to actually play instead of being truncated at :40-1:00.

As for the tracks to be warred upon, players will be able to vote among the Genesis tracks and the PC tracks, plus I've thrown in some hit pop tracks (which happen to fit the theme with their music), some tracks from other Sonic games, as well as Micheal Jackson works, and the two tracks Thorn provided. Here's what I have in mind so far:

Angel Island 1 - "Take Care" Drake ft. Rihanna

Angel Island 2 - "Burn" Ellie Goulding

Hydrocity 1 - "Ain't it Fun" Paramore

Hydrocity 2 - "Pumpin' Blood" NONONO

Marble Garden 1 - "Best Day of My Life" American Authors

Marble Garden 2 - "Am I Wrong" Nico & Vinz

Carnival Night 1 - "Jam" Michael Jackson ft. Heavy D / "Dragostea din tei" (a.k.a. "Numa Numa") O-Zone

Carnival Night 2 - "Birthday" Katy Perry / "Applause" Lady Gaga

Icecap 1 - "Smooth Criminal" Michael Jackson / "Hard Times" The Jetzons (Intentionally want this war to happen, as those still in the dark about the latter song may incite a war upon ignorance, thus causing a major donation spike to cancel out the people voting for MJ)

Icecap 2 - "Le7els" (a.k.a. "Levels") Avicii

Launch Base 1 - "Blow" Ke$ha

Launch Base 2 - "Wrecking Ball" Miley Cyrus

Mushroom Hill 1 - "Sing" Ed Sheeran

Mushroom Hill 2 - "Moves Like Jagger" Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera

Flying Battery 1 - "Mmm Yeah" Austin Mahone ft. Pitbull

Flying Battery 2 - "Sweet Nothing" Calvin Harris

Sandopolis 1 - "Promiscuous" Timbaland ft. Nelly Furtado

Sandopolis 2 - "Dark Horse" Katy Perry

Lava Reef 1 - "Hold on, We're Going Home" Drake

Lava Reef 2 - "La La La" Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith

Hidden Palace - "All of Me" John Legend

Sky Sanctuary - "Breathtaking Vision" Kanjika (Sky Sanctuary orchestral remix)

Death Egg 1 - "4 Minutes" Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland

Death Egg 2 - "Stronger" Kanye West

The Doomsday - "His World" Zebrahead

Miniboss Theme - "Egg Dragoon Theme"

Boss Theme - "Egg Wyvern Theme" (Sonic Unleashed)

Final Boss Theme - "Big Arms" Cash Cash ft. Jun Senoue (Sonic Generations)

Knuckles Encounter - "Turn Down For What" DJ Snake & Lil Jon

_______________________________________________________________


Of course, feel free to suggest tracks to be voted upon per stage.

[Don]

Actually i'm gonna add something else:

SADX Big Story

Pretty confident I could do a run of this.

[Fivavoa]

I guess I'll put something in for hopes of being in a marathon again;

I can offer:
Sonic Unleashed All-Day stages
-Estimate 50 minutes just for a lot of generosity
-Incentives Eggmanland, Vocal language selection (ENG/JAP)

Sonic Unleashed any%
-Estimate 3 hours, again being generous, I'm known to choke at the most inconvenient of times in this category
-Incentives to probably watch the opening CGI cutscene just for how awesome it is, if not same as above, Vocal language choice (ENG/JAP)
-I'll also be up for a race if Dark uses the same console

Sonic Colors Egg Shuttle
-I'll be up for a race here too
-Estimate the same as others
-Incentives Text language choice?

[Talon]

Happy to help. Offering two things

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle - Hero Story (Estimate 45:00)
Sonic Generations - Any% (Estimate 1:05:00)

[SpinDashMaster]

Just a small update -- I have downloaded and configured the custom music hack Thorn linked -- and it's working out very well.

I was able to fully implement all tracks I listed above (except for Hidden Palace, due to the fact that LR2 and HP share the same track -- so they both get La La La for now.)

Two interesting notes:

Power sneakers totally work with this -- they speed up the tempo of the music files.

The music files can be changed via the config file while the game is running.

One problem: When a 1-up/invincibility is triggered, the stage music resets from the beginning instead of picking up where it left off. I think this has to do with something in the core of the PC version of the game.

[zackoon49]

im not 100% sure i can, but if im able to (and if my dazzle will work with my tv i have now) i'm gonna join with Generations (360) modern w/skills.

remember, im not sure if i will be able to or not, ill let you know.

(pls this is prolly the only thing im really good at(and even then im still not that good))

EDIT: so my tv actually doesnt have a video output so i cant use my dazzle, so yeah, unless i can use my webcam, its a no go for me

[a_moustache]

If Talon can't make it for Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Hero Story, I could do it instead (or as well?)
My estimate would be 48:00

[DGF]

Flyine fox going back to your estimate.....my estimate for unleashed is act 3 hours and 15 minutes

[flying fox]

Thank you added to the list.

[zackoon49]

im looking at the game list, and, well, one does not simply "speedrun" Sonic Dash, so what would you do for sonic dash?

[flying fox]

If you were around for the previous marathon, we had bonus streams or pre-shows as in stream before the marathon actually started. Anyway not all games on the list will be used >_>

[DGF]

Flying Fox, I have a Request: switch out Unleashed for Generations: I'm practicing for that starting this week ..sorry for the mix up

[flying fox]

Had a proper look at the schedule and we definitely have enough material for a marathon. The next thing that needs to be sorted out is what charity to go for. For personal reasons I would like to stick with a cancer charity.

[zackoon49]

might wanna take a look at this http://www.hfc-marathons.co.uk/ as this doesn't look like ours (well i know it's not ours but take a look anyways)

[Taillow]

Hey guys, you should get on my back at least once a day about Sonic Advance 3.  Because I actually want to do this (especially since I have two months in advance (No pun intended) to practice).

Also I dunno how much time I can dedicate to commentary (Not that I was all that great at it) since I actually work for a living now.  I'll see what I can schedule off though.

Just give me an estimate, what team you're using, any donation incentives and I'll add you to the list. I thought you did very well with commentary last time and it would be great if you can do any at all this year.

I am already aware of this, in fact everybody was yesterday.

So I take it everybody is ok doing a cancer charity again?

[CriticalCyd]

Yep cancer charity sounds good to me

[SpinDashMaster]

Fuck cancer.

ACS is a solid option and that's what I've been telling my friends at work anyway.

[Samu]

I could do (if I have time then) Sonic Heroes Team Chaotix with estimate of 1:10:00 (still not good with GCN controller, and probably never will be).
