for Sonic Mania without spindashing, I did forget about the lava reef elevators. my bad, I don't think theres any way to avoid those entirely so it probably isn't possible for the no dpad one, using a keyboard or control stick still counts. probably could have come up with a better name.

5:15 Oh hey, that's me!

"Can you beat Sonic Mania without using the D-Pad" Me an intellectual: WASD, Analog stick

I'm the "someone out there" that beat Sonic Mania without knowing Spindash existed and I feel like an idiot now

8:06 Just, use the joystick (lol)

2:32 Rephrased: Sonic Mania without landing after leaving the ground

Yeah, that's all good and fine, but what I wanna know is can you beat Sonic Mania without breathing? How about that, huh? Bet ya' didn't think about that!

"thanks for them anyways though :)" That smiley hides a thousand unspoken feelings.

0:36 You forgot Lava Reef's spindash elevators.

Btw, some interesting info: You can beat Spyro The Dragon: Reignited Trilogy without using the moving joystick and D-Pad. You can use the charge button, the look button and roll buttons and jumping and gliding to help you move around.

if you press the forward button while in the air you can do the air dash in Advance 2

Someone: Can you beat Sonic Mania without using the D-pad? Me: *laughs in joystick*

"Can you beat Sonic Mania without the dpad" Me: Bruh just use the control stick that's how I play it on my Xbox One

can you beat sonic heroes without wishing you were playing something else

0:28 there’s a thing called DROP DASHING

I’m actually in the process of trying to beat sonic mania without spindashing, problems with the run is the entirety of hydrocity zone and lava reef zone but I’m going to try to find different paths for those zones

6:14 Yes it is possible. Every version of the game doesn’t need the dpad. On the consoles, just use the control stick, and the PC version doesn’t even have a Dpad!

4:16 you forgot Perfect chaos boss

Sonic adventure 1&2: Sonic stages with just spin dashing Mech minimum floatings Knuckles without punching. Amy without kicking Tails in SA1 without flying.

Beat a Sonic game without using a spring.

i honestly think that beating sonic generations modern stages without pressing any direction could be interesting it also depends on the skill setup, like if you used endless boost to always be able to move or that speed up skill

Beat a Sonic game without running!

I actually made a challenge for myself once for Sonic Forces, where Sonic couldn’t boost, homing attack, double jump, stomp, or slide, the avatar couldn’t use wispons, and Classic Sonic couldn’t use the spin dash or drop dash, it actually got pretty far, but the final boss couldn’t be beaten because you’re required to boost to get near Eggman. And that day my soul was shattered from failure- But seriously, I was surprised I got so far into the game, only finding that the final boss is where it stopped the challenge.

Generations was my first 3D sonic game. I didn't know boost was a thing for quite a while. I did plenty of homing attacks as air boosts.

Can you beat sonic rush without tricking? Yes, i’ve gotten through 6 entire zones* without knowing anything about the trick system. Just a fun info bit. (Yes, including the R button actions)

Can you beat sonic forces while having fun

The invincibility music is like "da duh da du du da dahhhh da ha da duh"

Do "Can you scroll through the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account without seeing people conplain that there's no new news?" challenge

can you beat sonic mania without breathing 🗿

i can’t believe nobody has ever thought of “Can you beat Sonic Mania without hitting a single spring?” the answer is probably yes, but it’s interesting to think about anyway

Oh, I was gonna challenge a bunch of challenge runners to beat any modern sonic game without boosting, cause most of those games are just: boost to win

I don't count anything out of the player's control against a challenge. If there's a move normally in the players control then one small section of gameplay where it automatically triggers it no matter what you do or if it's in a cutscene it doesn't count

Can you beat Sonic Forces without getting a damage? A pro move

Here’s an easy one: Play Sonic forces *without* enjoying it.

id like to see sonic spinball challenges, no right/left would prevent you from moving in midair, turning it into normal pinball, and minimum score would be a diabolically hard, but very entertaining challenge

For the D-pad route- its 100% possible on green hill 1 and 2. Chemical plant forces you to take a loop, which has tricky timing but can be passed through, however I never got past chemical plant because i'd spend all my time on the loops. Possible, but idk past chemical plant

6:12 just use the stick or the keyboard

Wait, Where Is My Suggestion In That Poll, thingy. =/ (sonic 4 ep2 w/o homing attack)

These challenge videos are still classics in my eyes, shame they ended but that’s okay.

Using Tails flying ability and your partner you can get the Lava Reef Zone without spin dashing but without you partner it is impossible.

Can You Beat Sonic Mania Without Breaking Any Monitors?

I remember making my own challenge during all of this, can you beat sonic 3K or other sonic game without running for more than 10 seconds?

6:50 YOU CAAAAN! JusT uSe ThE AnAloG iT's ThAt EasY.

4:10 there's a difference between chosen boosting and unchosen boosting, unchosen boosting is allowed, because you don't get to choose it.

ANY Sonic game, but someone tells you what button presses to do, and you're blindfolded. Done, an easy way to go insane

In the final boss of Sonic Generations, if you go to the controls section of the pause menu, it lists actions that you can only do in this boss. In it, it mentions that X is the boost button. This means Sonic Generations without boosting is not possible.

Can you beat Sonic Lost World without Jumping?

Beneficial boss fight review get the power up and you start boosting even though you're not clicking it it doesn't count as boosting

When I was like 9 years old I played sonic 2 for the first time, and even though I’d never even seen a sonic game that’s not secret rings, I just instinctively knew how to spin dash? I don’t know a lot about game design, but I’d love to know what exactly sonic 2 did that subconsciously teach me the spin dash.

I wonder what other ideas people can think of

for the spindash challenge it may actually be impossible cause of the obstacles in lava reef which you have to spindash to use i dont know if these are possible to skip but yeah

Well I got this on my recommended, I am not disappointed

I can confirm Green Hill 1 is Possible without a Single directional input, as I have in fact, done it using a fair bit of trial and error

I reckon the Mania No Spindashing is impossible because in Lava Reef there's the platforms you need to spindash on but I didn't look into it for too long.

Funny thing about spindash. My first Sonic game was S&K. And when I first time play this I stuck on the first act of Mushroom Hill Zone, with that leaf chain trap or what is that. My dad accidently found the spindash move. Without him I can't beat the first level I guess XD

To beat shadow without boosting isnt too hard. Just did it. What you have to do first is be within distance of shadow until he comes close to the purple thingy and then you pass him the A.I will take about 4 seconds to start boosting. If don e correctly he should hit you with the boost exactly after the animation of you getting it finishes

Sonic Generations without the analog stick is really fun!

"Can you beat sonic '06 without finding any glitches?"

Can you beat sonic 3 with only using player 2? Tails can carry sonic without sonic jumping and can damage bosses. The only problem I see is the entirety of Death Egg and Doomsday, but I think everything before is possible.

In sonic 2 can you use a cheat and get all the emeralds and stay super sonic ( of course you do not have to count the end of Wing fortress and death egg )

Sonic mania as any character without using any special moves

@BillehBawb here a challenge for you: Beat a sonic generation only clearing the stage with super sonic (ones you reach 50 rings you had to turn super sonic and if you run out of rings due to your super form, you failed the challenge)

6:12 yes. Use the analog stick.

When i first played sonic 1 mobile (yep i grew with the mobile version) i accidently spin dashed in green hills 3

My take on the "Without touching the ground" challenge is that you can touch anything BUT the stage itself. Like being able to land on Item Boxes or Enemies or Springs

Title: i hate your challenge ideas BillehBawb: dont get me wrong, i love your suggestions

Now here's a challenge that you can try. Sonic Generations Modern Sonic, but only using a Sonic Adventure styled move set. Rules are: Allowed moves: running, jumping, homing attacking, air dashing, light speed dashing, "SPIN DASHING" (you only PRESS the boost button and not HOLD it down), and wall jumping. Not allowed moves: sliding, drifting, quick stepping, stomping, switching rails normally (you are allowed to physically jump to them, like in Sonic 06), performing tricks and continuous boosting. If a not allowed move is performed by the game, and not through user input (like the counterattack boost in the Shadow boss fight), that is still allowed. Mandatory level gimmicks like wisps, and snow boarding, etc. are permitted. Levels/challenges to clear: All Modern Sonic stages, All Modern Sonic boss/rival battles on Hard mode (Time Eater excluded), Speed Highway Challenge 1 and 4 and Seaside Hill Challenge 5. Have fun.

when you like advance 2

Here’s a good one. Can you beat sonic generations all modern levels without pressing forward?

Sonic Mania without walking or running

i did try to do a boostless run of generation and i think the only required boost is rooftop run at the falling ceiling and maybe the final boss when going to it I also forgot about shadow so yeah him too Final edit: rooftop run is possible i just forgot about d-boosting

first :P Edit:Seems like being trying to be annoying actually works. Next level would be to say that you are just jealous

best idea: sonic rush without pressing left or right

4:44 *Debug Mode* easy. Bam done

I remember playing sonic 2 but I didn't know what spindash was and I had to learn it in sonic 4 episode 2 using the monitors that help you learn the game

Sonic Gens, Classic Sonic without spin dashing or rolling!

"Can you beat Sonic Mania without pressing the D-Pad?" Me an intellectual: use the joystick

I actually didn't know about the spindash for like 6 months

challenge you to make a full video on each of these challenges

Ok, here’s a challenge relating to the Sonic Advance 2/3 stuff... How much of Sonic Advance 2/3 can be beaten without right left, starting from the beginning of each character’s level set (i.e. Sonic might only be able to clear 2 before a right press is needed but Knuckles can clear every Knuckles stage)

You should try "no right or left, minimum up and down".

in labrenth zone (for sonic mania no spindashing) there is a part where TOGET TO THE BOSS YOU NEED TO SPINDASH AND BREAK THE WALL so immpossible

I did most of greenhill act one with out jumping but with the CD move

If you do a no boost, no ring, sonic gens 3ds challenge you can’t even beat green hill

I think you should do a challenge where you cannot go max speed

1 I taught my cousin the spindash 2 he didn't know about the spindash until I played sonic 2 with him

Can you beat Sonic Mania by only flying/gliding with Ray?

Can you beat Sonic 4 Episode II without homming attack? I think nobody knows I exist and this question too...

IN THUMBNAIL: 🇺🇲SONIC MANIA WITHOUT JUMPING 🇧🇷SONIC MANIA SEM PULAR

6:12 yes you can! you can use the control stick!

Sonic Generations, the boost meter goes down when using sonics powerup against shadow so yes its a boost

Sonic mania but everytime you spindash sing a bit of live and learn

Beat sonic without taking damage

0:49 ahem lava reef zone

You can beat Sonic Mania without touching the ground because your feet arent touching it unless you do spindash where your body is touching the ground.

now " can you beat sonic 2 with out touching the color orange and bacckground counts" or other colors

It’s not possible because of press garden zone, it forces you to do a spindash and there isn’t enough rings to turn into super sonic

For your every character in Sonic 3 best if you use Sonic 3 A.I.R rather than the original one

Sonic Unleashed, but you don't Homing Attack? You can just spam B for enemies on the ground for a move that makes sonic slide in a circle so it kills them as well. It may be hard but why not try it?

Beat Sonic 3 and knuckles without pressing left of right
