Speedrunners have discovered a fast route to the first boss, Giganto, in Sonic Frontiers.
For the first time in Sonic Frontiers, the blue hedgehog could let off steam in a more open game world and hunt for rings or the henchmen of Dr. make robotics. While director Morio Kishimoto touted an average gameplay time of 20 to 30 hours, speedrunners are all about completing a game in the shortest amount of time, in part by exploiting bugs and glitches.
A new glitch allows you to reach the first boss Giganto faster than intended in Sonic Frontiers.
The user HyperBE32 recently presented on Twitterhow the first boss Giganto can be reached faster than intended by a glitch. He used the winged, pointed platforms of a challenge puzzle on Kronos Island.
Instead of completing the puzzle for the highest platform, he waited and used the stomp attack on the descending platform to get thrown to incredible heights at the right moment by holding down the jump button.
The flight went right into the atmosphere! In this way, HyperBE32 was able to reach the boss arena in advance to face off against Giganto.
That’s certainly a way to get to Giganto early. pic.twitter.com/xCaEqhJGf6

If you want to try the trick yourself, but are unsure which keys to use when, you can do so in the second Video comprehend. An Xbox controller has been displayed here, showing the button press. In addition to the videos from HyperBE32, other users gave tips to refine the execution. So they pointed out that the trick can already be used on the lowest platform.
