So Close, Yet So Far – The Sonic 4 Episode 1 Achievement Attempt that Failed

Posted on June 3, 2012

Sonic The Hedgehog 4 – Episode 1 features a variety of different achievements, one of them being called ‘Speed’s My Game’ where in order to obtain it the player must complete the first level, Splash Hill Zone Act 1, within 1 minute.

While attempting the achievement on the PC version of the game, and recording to show how its done, i got hit and thus resulted in me failing to obtain the achievement – however the amusing thing is that i failed by 0.1 of a second as i had completed the level within 1:00.01.

Of course i have managed to get the achievement, as seen on my youtube channel, but i find it extremely amusing (and near impossible to repeat) that i managed to get so close, yet so far to the achievement the first time in playing the game on the PC.

Its one of the easiest achievements to get in the game, but one wrong move will add valuable seconds to your time at the end, as demonstrated in my failed attempt.
