The Sonic the Hedgehog series is all about going fast, so it's no surprise that 1992's Sonic 2 has fostered such an intense speedrunning community.
Speedrunning historian and YouTuber Summoning Salt dug into the history of Sonic 2 speedrunning, documenting how players approached the Sega Genesis game over the years (sometimes breaking it entirely) to get the fastest times possible.
The 25-year-old game is still relatively active in the speedrunning community, with the latest world record of 14:58 being reached by runner Mike89 just two months ago.
