10 Video Game Records That Can’t Be Beat
1. Completing Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric In 51 Minutes
The death knell for Sonic - at least, this generation - Sonic Boom at least made some headlines back in 2014, when just a day after launch, speedrunner Parax discovered a bug that let him 'jump over' entire chunks of the game.
Born from playing as Knuckles, Parax found that if you pause the game when mid-jump, Sonic Boom resets the animation, allowing you to jump again. By chaining hundreds of these jumps together he was able to leapfrog the vast majority of the game, finishing in a tidy 51 minutes.
Sega have since patched Sonic Boom and removed the exploit, forcing anyone who ever wants to take Parax's crown to find a new method entirely.
Though that does mean playing Sonic Boom, which is an endurance challenge itself.
