Submission Comments
This run was aimed to complete the game as fast as possible while also getting all 6 Chaos Emeralds for the 100% Ending. We used inputs from the current world record run by Aglar. You may ask, "why 100% of Sonic the Hedgehog?" This game never had a 100% TAS. So, we organised a collab where I am, Zekann, DarkShamilKhan and Rodonic01 are completing to 100%.

Levels for getting chaos emeralds

  • 3rd emerald - Marble act 1
  • 4th emerald - Spring Yard act 1

These levels were for getting 50 rings without having to go too far off the pre-planned path and losing a bunch of time.

Stage By Stage Comments

Green Hill act 1: The easiest level for gathering an emerald. This route is not so much different with Aglar's run.
Green Hill act 2: Before I thought that I need use zip like in Aglar's run, but I reconsider that better to gather emeralds in speedy acts or after getting 50 rings - to use zip like in Labyrinth 2.
Green Hill act 3: Not so much different from Aglar's run
Marble act 1: DarkShamilKhan made pre-zip part, I made post-zip part. We got same time same as Aglar.
Marble act 2: I don't know really: on BizHawk at faster route the zip doesn't work, only at slower route.
Marble act 3: Same problem as in act 2
Spring Yard act 1: Zekann improved AKA's route and also got 4th emerald.
Spring Yard act 2: First act where I faced with "BizHawk's wrong calculating" the speed: since beginning of level before 1st bounce ball and on slopes. Also Eandis found a new strat where you can get almost 18 seconds instead 25.
Spring Yard act 3: Not so much different from Aglar's run
Labyrinth act 1: I guess, no difference. Lua HUD can't be used in BizHawk.
Labyrinth act 2: Aglar did before pre-pipeline. After I gathered 50 rings and zipped as usually for 5th emerald.
Labyrinth act 3: Not so much different from Aglar's run
Star Light act 1: I guess, not so much different.
Star Light act 2: The last act of getting a last emerald.
Star Light act 3: No difference with Aglar's run
Scrap Brain act 1: Used Daniel Hall's strat
Scrap Brain act 2: No difference with Aglar's run
Scrap Brain act 3: Used Tee-N-Tee's strat
Final Zone: No difference with Aglar's run

Сrooked mechanic of special stages.

Wrong hitboxes, things which allow to jump instantly. So Rodonic01 has done a great job with completing all 6 special stages.

feos: Claiming for judging.
feos: Accepting as a new branch.
