    Considering the recent string of high-profile games being broken on release, maybe the time is right for Sonic 2006 to be featured on UPF (has it ever?). All the other games people are complaining about right now certainly pale in comparison.

    Sadly, it would have to be on a save file that has some progress on it since the beginning of this game doesn't do all the bugs and glitches proper justice and is really boring to watch.

    Here is a good example of just how bad it gets:

    Lots of terrible platforming coupled with a strict time limit and one of the worst Mach Speed sections the game has to offer (check it out at 16:00, 24:00 and 38:30, if you dare).

    My only impression of Sonic Boom is the Quick Look but that game at least looks flawed but competent.

    Still graphically more impressive than Sonic Boom.

    Loading up the demo the other day, that intro menu shocked me. It looks worse than a budget N64 title.

    The problem with Sonic 06 on UPF would be that there's a lot of messing about at the beginning of the game. Its worst parts require a little effort and a lot of patience to see. The worst of that game requires you to unlock Silver and Shadow.

    I didn't watch the video (because I have stuff I should probably be doing) but this

    makes it sound more like you're talking about bad design, rather than glitches and bugs? "Bad design" does not necessarily mean the game is broken in a technical sense.

    Remember that long series of 2d sequences they went through in the QL to get across that gap, right before they woke up that snake guy? Knuckles can easily glitch his way past that ENTIRE section.

    For a moment I thought Ulillillia was playing. Anyway, yeah that's pretty bad and certainly allows the player to easily break the game.
