Sonicās motto might be āGotta Go Fast,ā but this is probably not what he means when he says that.
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was released yesterday, but already some players have found a game-breaking bug. As DarkspinesSonic shows in the following video, players can currently extend Knuckleās jump infinitely if they pause the game:
The glitch is letting players get through the game in less than an hour, as this footage by Parax0 shows:

This includes being able to skip entire portions of the gameāeven parts of the final boss fight. And itās likely that speedrunners will be able to beat the game even faster once they optimize the run (you can watch a speedrunner try right now, actually). Itās absurd, but also kind of amazing.
This post did not originally credit the person who discovered the glitch, and was edited to remedy that.
