Speed Run of Sega Master System Sonic the Hedgehog 1. Not a perfect run with a few flaws but it’s not bad. It’s on the 50hz version (PAL) if you are wondering why it’s so slow. I recorded using VHS on my Master System 1 so it’s not the best picture. It was recorded last August and I found the video last night. Might improve it one day then submit to SDA but for now enjoy!

Duration : 0:9:50

    Firstly there are a few loading areas where i go through the tunnels. Game time doesn’t progress at these points. Also this is the PAL version of the game which is 17.6% (or something like that) slower than that NTSC version. The programmers didn’t do anything to the game just slowed it down so the timer will also get effected by this slow down.

    Somethings wrong with the time… when Video starts at 0:00, 25 seconds just passed in Scrap Brain Zone Act 2. When you finish Act 2 at 1:40, the games counter shows 1:40 as well o.o

    Heh, well, I got that one just about as easy as the first one.. They put in a challenge for everyone it seems ;)

    There is an extra life in each level and if you find them all then 1 appears right at the start of the last level. Most of them are easy to get apart from Labrinth act 3!

  6. Ritchstorm says:

    I always knew about …
    I always knew about the last emerald when I was young it was the second one that got me. I colud see it but I had no idea that you had to stand on the bridge and drop down to get it! Took me years to work that one out!

  7. SiD3WiNDR says:

    <3 my master system …
    <3 my master system … sonic was one of the greatest games! I finished it again a while back on an emulator.. but not as fast as this! Never found the last emerald either, how are you supposed to know it’s there ;/ Great run! Music in the scrap levels always made my head spin, too.

    Really enjoyed watching this video. SMS Sonic 1 was my favourite game as a kid, I used to play it over and over again, the main reason was because I was hooked on the end tune.

    No YouTube in those days!

    Awesome! That takes …
    Awesome! That takes me back to when I was 6 years old playing my first ever console game. If I was a girl I’d probably cry right about now lol.

    Its a really splendid video, I especially liked the tension you brought to the underwater levels leaving the air bubbles to the very last split second!

    I also always found it funny that Sonic couldn’t outrun the Dr, just before the end of Act 3.

    Indeed, it just sounds like something from a Master System! ^^

    Just that little extra bit at the end and also more points added to your score. That’s about it!

    :) ahhh.. to think this was the first ever sonic i played

  15. Ritchstorm says:

    You have to jump …
    You have to jump before he’s on the screen to hit him fast them do a small jump (don’t hold jump for long just press it slightly) and you hit again while he’s flashing so he doesn’t get hit :)

    wow, i never …
    wow, i never noticed…but now im curious, i never reached more then the 3rd bonus level, are there also that kinda “tricks” to get the bonus levels? or 1up’s?
    well, i didnt play that game for maybe 15 years, but you really make me wanna do it!!

  17. Ritchstorm says:

    On every single …
    On every single level if you don’t pick up 1 single ring then you get the +10 rings as a level bonus and there are no rings on Sky Base Act 2 so you always get it!

  18. finner1984 says:

    do you actually …
    do you actually always get the rings in the end of the last level?

  19. Ritchstorm says:

    Thanks for your …
    Thanks for your comments AluadoPK, I accidently found out that trick oneday when trying to do him fast! This run has many obvious flaws and I now know some quicker routes but nobody seems to be interested in teh speedrunning community unfortunately as this was the first game I ever played and completed.

  20. AluadoPK says:

    Wow did you enter …
    Wow did you enter into the glass thing of the last boss?! :o
    Anyway, great work! Really good! I loved to watch these videos!

    There is only 6 in this game and I got them all. I do get the special ending at the end…

  22. arthurmoises says:

    man, you have just …
    man, you have just collected 6 of the 7 total emeralds. once you get them all, you can see the great ending, when the buildings of Dr. Robotnik are erased from map. I did it only one time in my life, when I was a child. But great video! Great time!
    Great game ! This game can take me some tears yet…good memories!!

    I tried to do a speedrun but only made it in 34:36 :(

    How do you do that trick on the final boss? That could save me a couple minutes

  24. Atomicrox says:

    Good run, left me wanting to try and play Sonic again as fast as I can.

    Go ahead and submit it to SDA, it is a very nice game not to be on that site.
