About the Movie

Sonic 3 & Knuckles has had several celebrated runs done of it, but our poor little tag-along fox friend has gotten no love from them. I thought I should make a run that demonstrates the sonic communities true feelings for our two-tailed orange foxy companion.
The result is the fastest game over in recorded history.

In-game completion times:

Angel Island 1 life 3
0:04
Angel Island 1 life 2
0:04
Angel Island 1 life 1
0:03

Total Time: 0:11

Notes and Explanations

  • The game over screen pops up faster than it takes for the level to restart after a normal death.

Possible improvements

  • Hacking the ROM to place a set of spikes immediately underneath Tails' starting location.
