Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 have been proven to be beatable without defeating a badnik, so how about our adventure through Little Planet? So today, we are going through Sonic CD with one goal in mind, to beat the game without defeating a badnik.

Let's grow the Knux Club to 35K!

    Apparently, the mantis that "already threw it's weapon" is actually suppose to be like that! Sonic CD's time travel mechanic works on enemies as well - specifically, badniks in the past will always be in perfect condition, present badniks will be in mostly good condition, and most future badniks won't be working. The more you know, correct me if I'm wrong on any details.

    “Act 2 is just screaming ‘Hey, I’m just like Scrap Brain Act 2!’” Fun fact, all of the Sonic CD rounds except Wacky Workbench are arguable just more colorful versions of Sonic 1 stages. Green Hill -> Palmtree Panic Marble -> Quartz Quadrant Spring Yard -> Collision Chaos Labyrinth -> Tidal Tempest Star Light -> Stardust Speedway Scrap Brain -> Metallic Madness

    "I gave up and fell onto some spikes." Basically me whenever things don't go my way.
  • @johnlittle8045
    Honestly, your rule about it being okay to defeat bosses makes me think that it's okay to defeat those three lightning bug boys. That's a pretty clear-cut mini-boss fight, even if the bosses in question are just ordinary badniks. Having said that, I appreciate the dedication to an unimpeachable stance! Good luck on the next one.
  • @Ryan_C_GH
    That's devistating, literally the second last room of the entire game...
  • @Rinne_Z_rank
    also dont worry folks, if you get all stones, its still a good ending!
  • @legendarysonic9908
    Yes finally! Also tip for Sonic mania without defeating a badnick. Use the partner clip for encore mode in the metal sonic fight phase 1
  • @GordieKat
    You know what's weird about the platform stilts? They appear in Mania but not in Metallic Madness, even though it appears as well. They were put in Lava Reef instead. That's not the only mechanic from Metallic Madness that got moved to a different Zone either, the multidirectional tubes were used in Chemical Plant instead.
  • @StarBird06
    Oh yeah. If you go fast enough before time traveling, you are invincible.
  • @aidensavickas9227
    If those badniks are required to face the boss no matter what, then it should be possible because they aren’t normal enemies that just give points and spawn flowers, they are a part of the boss, so by all means it IS possible
  • @GAM3RK1NG.
    You’re right, about the pc version. It is possible to beat sonic cd without defeating a badnik, just not for the pc version. So you should have said: “is it possible to beat sonic cd without defeating a single badnik? Yes, but only if you have the original for Sega cd.”
  • @smashmouthegg570
    You may be able to trigger the boss spawn through manipulating the trigger itself. One thing to mention, is that the boss spawn is linked to the door, so if you can open the door without killing the enemies you could fight the boss (I'm pretty sure) You could maybe manipulate the game into thinking YOUR death is the enemy's death therefore the door opens the next time you go to it. This is all just a theory tho.
