All equipment mentioned here had important participation. After finishing each zone, Tee-N-Tee was commissioned to make one last improvement to each zone and was improved about 1 minute of [http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/107518544/Hat%2C%20Tee-N-Tee%2C%20Aglar%2C%20skychase%2C%20WST%20-%20S2K%20Ringless.gmv|this another].

Details by each zone
;Emerald Hill Zone 1: The first route was planned by Aglar here, after Tee-N-Tee improve his moves touching Invincibility-TV and avoid possible damages more forward for not lose speed.
;Emerald Hill Zone 2: This route was planned by Aglar too, after Tee-N-Tee improve his moves, avoiding losing speed in some situations.
;Chemical Plant Zone 1: Is applied the level-wrap discovered by Tee-N-Tee but with Knuckles you must go more forward for get sufficient speed. (Sonic can get this speed more fastly)
;Chemical Plant Zone 2: Here Knuckles can jump in the inclination for do a zip (discovered by Hat) and avoid the rings are down. After, we doing a second zip using the floating platform for reach the battle area.
;Aquatic Ruin Zone 1: Tee-N-Tee do the same zip used in Sonic 2 TAS movie. NO HAVE DIFFERENCES HERE REALLY.
;Aquatic Ruin Zone 2: Tee-N-Tee do the zip discovered by skychase and Felipe used in Sonic 2 TAS. But by reason of level structure isn't possible do the same moves. Instead of that, wait a few frames to do the zip to the right and level-wrap. Tee-N-Tee have applied the Pauses-Trick and discovered and alternate boss-glitch where is the same glitch but you must hit him 1 frame after he stop moving.
;Casino Night Zone 1: Tee-N-Tee (again) does a zip and level-wrap by falling between the spikes. However, is necessary a short wait to do a jump and be in a good position, otherwise Knuckles would stay trapped.
;Casino Night Zone 2: For Kunckles is easy to do this level-wrap. The same technique to CN1. And you remember the best fast move to climb with Knuckles.
[<b][<b][<b][<b>][c>][c>]
When you reach the battle area, you can hit the boss a little before it is visible, another advantage of using this level-wrap.
;Hill Top Zone 1: The route was improved for Tee-N-Tee and here was possible to use the same zip using a spindash to delay the camera and avoid some rings.
;Hill Top Zone 2: Almost the same route making some changes and techniques to prevent the rings, as advancing a bit buried in the ground to avoid 6 rings. However, was impossible to use the zip due to the structure of the map (a stupid invisible object placed there)
;Mystic Cave Zone 1: First it was improved by Hat, but after Tee-N-Tee adjust the last details. Using almost the same route harnessing the Knuckles's power of flight for overfly the bridge.
;Mystic Cave Zone 2: Thanks to a label-wrap discovered by skychase was immediately possible to reach the boss and destroyed him fastly.
;Oil Ocean Zone 1: Tee-N-Tee use the same route taking oil even a little earlier. NO HAVE MANY DIFFERENCES HERE REALLY.
;Oil Ocean Zone 2: Use the same route. Sometimes Knuckles quickly flew to stop and make a spindash at maximum speed. NO HAVE DIFFERENCES HERE REALLY.
;Metropolis Zone 1: There is a great abuse through structures but is the only way to prevent rings besides being faster than a normal route.
;Metropolis Zone 2: We can't take damage without barrier. So the level-wrap took more time and we can't take TV-rings. Tee-N-Tee managed to improve the time here. (The old path was climb to top.)
;Metropolis Zone 3: Here we haven't second player, an alternative zip is used to do the same level-wrap. Also thanks to Kiske was ahead with his submission, we have improved boss battle.
;Sky Chase Zone: This was done by Sky Chase and I liked a good idea not take rings and not attack enemies.
;Wing Fortress Zone: Tee-N-Tee discovered a very useful zip to quickly pass the all level.The boss is facing the same way.
;Death Egg Zone: Knuckles's jump is enough to attack the boss as in S2, waiting a little the first hit. WELL THOUGHT Tee-N-Tee
__Another details__%%%
It was only possible in some zones where we face the boss when Knuckles was at the upper limit of the level. This made the game recognize a higher upper limit and Knuckles only had to move the camera up to quickly remove the animals from the capsule.
__Possible improvements__%%%
This submission shows a lot to improve the project S2K Any%. Of course that could be potential improvements, some zip or level-wrap undiscovered, while not required to take rings.
By the way, I'll be looking for some screenshot to suggest.

skychase I think you could learn about coding techniques. They will make your videos have excellent quality with little space and on HD.
I think this page would suffice to learn, easily.
