Sonic Frontiers is already a crazy speedrun

Sonic Frontiers has five Islands as part of its main game and today we're going to be speedrunning island one because even though it hasn't been out that long the run is already super broken so let's get started runs hurts off with selecting high speed style I assume the game just uninstalls if you select the slow option since it's a Sonic game then after skipping a couple cut scenes which are honestly not very interesting just Eggman being bad but this time with computers we immediately enter the first stage 1-1 this will also be the only stage of the run because we can skip the other six which is definitely an indicator of how ridiculous this run is going to be the way the game works is we have a boost resource that increases Sonic Speed but can also be used to push him forward while he's in the air for some extra distance and this leads us to the first major glitch about 20 seconds into the stage there's a button thing that we can homing attack but right before we hit the button we can use the Boost this allows us to keep our homing attack speed and direction but without a Target and this lets us fly past the next section entirely this technique can be used in a lot of stages but we can't worry about that because now we're entering the open world after skipping a couple cut scenes we make our way to the first open world puzzle but we can skip this since it's not required then we need to kill four machines that all die in one hit after that we make our way to one more section skip whatever's going on there and head towards the first mini boss of the game Ninja this boss has some RNG since it can go into a sequence of attacks you basically just have to wait around for but sometimes it just doesn't do that honestly the combat in this game is pretty fun you can dodge pretty much everything with good play so it feels really satisfying when you get a good fight off after killing the mini boss we complete the simple puzzle and then we get to the thumb Destroyer part of the run for this we need to use the new lasso ability to create circles in the ground this will randomly spawn different resources but for our run we need two things one we need to get one more skill point so we can get the stomp attack which is crucial for this Speed Run and two we need to get 400 Rings which unlocks super fast version of Sonic and makes the game 10 times more fun after we get enough skill points and Rings we can start going crazy fast towards the next objective which is stage one two of the game but since doing an entire stage is slow we're going to skip it but before Sonic can enter the stage normally he needs to kill the BBC lost Tower while fighting Tower we can perform a trick that is incredibly difficult for this trick we use stomp attack which launches us into the air in order to strike down the enemy but if we Dodge right before using it the game will mess up and allow us to take actions so if we Dodge stomp attack and then boost within a few frames Sonic will launch up into the air way higher than the devs intended I'm starting to get nervous because it's taking a few tries to get it but I know there's a harder skip next and if I can get this quickly I can still get an amazing time normally we can only get to the main island by using a bridge that spawns after beating the second stage but using this glitch we can get high enough to skip it completely after getting to the main island there are tons of side quests main stages and bosses we're supposed to defeat in order to unlock the final boss casually this took me over two hours but since we're the fastest Hedgehog in cyberspace we can just find an enemy near the invisible wall and just fly straight up to get over it and I'm talking you need the perfect angle like look at this attempt from a few runs ago I get the glitch and go crazy high probably looks like I'm gonna to make it right but apparently I was a frame off because I still hit the invisible wall and have to retry this is an insanely difficult trick that takes a ton of practice and because I got it so fast I'm way ahead of my PB but once we get over the invisible wall yeah we do some Dodges to get a little farther to get towards the boss area then we walk along the invisible floor and once we enter the boss stage we need to run to this specific spot to spawn in the boss which must have been named by Dr Doofenshmirtz because his name's giganto in order to start the fight we need to get on its head this will allow us to activate the supersonic gold mode which is the only way we can actually defeat it normally Sonic can just if you played this casually it's not very hard normally you can just run up giganto and use the blue things as a boost but since we skipped the part where Sonic learns to run on walls we can only use the blue boost rings I managed to get the correct rings I don't mess it up I don't fall which I usually do every single time I run this but I make it to the top I'm super happy that I was able to get the hardest skip in only two tries and get get on top of the boss on my first try but once we're on top we can start the fight and the main strategy here is to use the stomp attack as much as possible since it's our only special ability and it does way more damage than basic attacks also when Sonic jumps in the air it prevents giganto from using some of his attacks some of his more normal attacks he'll still use his ultimate attack and like a few other ones later but we can dodge that by holding down Perry for this game you don't even have to time it right you just hold down Perry and the game takes care of the timing for us once the boss gets to 50 HP the game plays a cut scene where he gets all these lasers that don't matter since they're all behind him and then we have to deal with a couple other abilities giganto will then shoot from his mouth and try to grab you it's possible to dodge the mouth beam but very difficult so I missed one of the two but the grab attack we can just hold down the parry and no problem after avoiding a super attacks we finish him off with a few stomp attacks and then in the first Island run with an 848 which is an incredible time and if you want to see a full speed run of this game let me know in the comments and I'll show the whole game once the speed run is more developed come on
