Sonic Glitcherations: Post any bugs you find here!

Sometimes in Green Hill Modern there's a path that bounces Sonic onto some springs and you do a backflip onto the ground; sometimes Sonic will not do a complete flip and just twitch in the air before he lands...

This one seems to happen as good as all the time, even in the demo. It's weird that it wasn't fixed at some stage, cause surely it can't have gone unnoticed.

One minor glitch in classic Seaside Hill; if I opt to listen to his opening speech about secret paths and go along the lower underwater route, after he's finished I can hear him crashing into an object over and over again.

I've only found one glitch and that is of Classic Sonic falling through the floor when I did a Spin Dash on one of those big circular things that constantly rotate that was stuck in the floor. It was in one the the Seaside Hill missions if my memory is right.

I was going for the final boss no hit achievement and I found another glitch.

If you switch to Modern Sonic right after damaging the Time Eater, (when the screen goes multicoloured) sometimes the two Super Sonics start flying backwards away from Time Eater, you usually can't fix the camera and are forced to restart. This made me rage since I was close to getting the achievement...

<_<

Just recalled another one.

I was doing that mission in Classic's Sky Sanctuary in which you race Amy on those platforms that move up when you run on them. For some very odd reason, Amy completely froze and wouldn't move. Her marker on the bar wouldn't move either. Hence it became a joke of a mission because there was no opposition :]

I've had the game freeze in the normal act of Modern Planet Wisp, it's the only stage that ever froze during my playthroughs besides Speed Highway freezing with the Time Break rocket/copter glitch. Before the game was released I remember the Green Hill demo (Classic Act) froze once but it seems they fixed that.

Although the game freezing seems to be rare, I hope Sonic Team is reading this thread and hopefully they can release another patch to remedy this. Just curious did anyone notice any differences after the first patch?

My post from SpikySprinter's topic in case anyone else is having trouble with the freeze glitch:

I've had the game freeze in Modern Planet Wisp but not the race mission specifically. One thing you could try is defeating as many enemies as possible and breaking as many crates as possible. This means there will be less game objects in the map and it may reduce any lag which could be causing the freezing. Another tip would be letting your PS3 cool off a bit before trying again. Hope that helps.

This is an annoying one.

On the Casino Night DLC game, theres no glass on the pinball table. This means that at times it's possible for Sonic to fly out of the table even it's not fault of the player (like Sonic hitting a lot of bumbers in a short period of time). But whats annoying about this glitch is that the game counts this as a lost ball, so you could be in line to getting a high score. Only for the game to end due to the bug.

Not a glitch but, i catch the 4th red ring in city escape (that one that you need to make tricks with the skateboard) without the skate :P it took me 15 minutes, and the first time, i passed over the ring e.e, the 2nd i catch it, but i fall in a pit ¬¬, and the 3rd i get it, and was awesome now i have the skate skill :P

Oh dear God, I just had a lucky escape. @~@

I'd spent fifteen minutes trying to do this one sequence properly, in classic Planet Wisp, to get the last red ring I needed for the set. I eventually managed to do it by the skin of my teeth, and I was happy. So happy, I dashed off as the Spike Wisp, and got myself caught in a wall further up. It was only after a minute of struggling that I accidentally hit a spring and managed to free myself to continue on with the level.

I just got another one within Modern Planet Wisp.

It was near the end when the ceiling would come crashing down. Needless to say, I was squished.

But I was still able to move. ._. I walked around, then walked entirely to the left before I fell off the stage. I moved back to the right as I fell and landed on a platform, but I was stuck in a 2D plane and thus couldn't redo the part from earlier, along with some background elements turning invisible. All that would happen is that either I fell and accepted my fate or restarted.

In Speed Highway Modern I used the starting boost skill to cover extra air when doing the big rail shortcut. Shenanigans happened with multiple boosts and with an additional air boost I managed to speed all the way through the skyscraper that the rail goes between, only to miss it completely. I'm falling down a bottomless pit but Sonic then latches onto a passing helicopter out of nowhere, and my second thought at that point was that I triggered some bugged up alternate path since the camera was moving along with it like when you're on other helicopters. After that though the helicopter and Sonic flew off screen and I died for some reason.

During Modern Sonic's Rooftop Run Mission I was heading up the side of the tower until I got to the red launch rings at the top. Instead of going through them Sonic clung to the building, slid across the roof and then up the spire until he flew into the air then feel to his doom.

I managed to 3D myself from a 2D environment during the one of the missions in City Escape. Gotta say, it was kinda awkward! I'm not very used to finding glitches.

So I just found out the reason to the helicopter bug - there's a helicopter at the start that is possible to grab onto as a second option for an alternative path, alongside the starting rail. It drops you off at the second street that follows after the big loop and catapult. More specifically, it drops you off on the rail that's above that street which shaves a few seconds time to reach the bomb-layered building walls.

The glitch is rather hard to replicate but the gist of it is that the extra power given by the starting boost skill and a quick jump is able to catapult you through the entire starting segment and through one of the building gaps that doesn't have an invisible wall in it. If you're fast enough, you will grab onto the helicopter during the split second after the drop-off, but since it flies off-screen, it kills you.

Found another one.

I was doing the Modern Ring Sprinkler mission in Speed Highway and was doing very well, getting close to the end of the stage when the Sprinkler got 'trapped' against the side of a skyscraper. The camera was massively zoomed out from where I was, showing the Sprinkler against the building. Made the mission impossible to complete :(

I stomped completely through one of the lava platforms in Modern Crisis City, but it shaved seconds off my time and helped me S-rank the doppleganger mission. :D

City Escape, Act 2. The truck. I managed to somehow wind up in this area where the truck's there, the wheels are moving but it's not moving itself. I try and progress but the wall bounces me the other way, toward the truck. So I try to run toward it and it bounces me back around. I knew I'd be stuck, so I just turned off my console, laughing. laugh.png

How to Kill Amy Rose In Sky Sanctuary

Alright, this is very hard to do, chances are you won't be able to reproduce this without restarting the stage a lot, but it is possible to do it.

During the classic Sonic mission where you have to race Amy when you're on that orb thing, it's possible to kill Amy and then go on to win the race with only the clock to worry about when it comes to rank.

How do you do this? You need to be flying above her on the orb, when Amy does her hammer attack she flies up, if you stop and let the orb start to fall, it'll crash into Amy and she'll fall directly down... and won't stop until she hits a platform... yet if theres no platform, if it's a pit, she'll fall to her doom and will never respawn until you restart the stage.

I triggered this totally by accident as I'd misheard Omachao's instructions, I thought you couldn't hit Amy with the orb at all, so when I saw her fly up, I stopped running, and she crashed right into me, fell down in that daze annimation... then vanished. When I got near the end of the stage I noticed that her character icon haddn't moved. Even though I was no longer in line to get an S-Rank, Amy was nowhere to be seen.

As much as I love Amy.........

....GREATEST GLITCH EVER!

Sadly i don't have a camera so I couldn't record this but I'll tell you anyway. So I was doing the skateboard mission in Rooftop Run. A little before the clock tower, I started floating, turned upside down and before you know it, I was grinding and skateboarding upside down. It lasted only a few seconds and it was fixed by the time I got to the clock tower. BUT then, Sonic decides to phase in to the building. he flies high up in to the air and begins to descend very slowly while boobing up and down and jerking left and right. While upside down. Then the camera switched up to the sky and I got to see Sonic on a skateboard, slowly descending upside down while bobbing upside down and jerking left and right.

It was fucking glorious.
