Sonic 2 for Sega Master System in 18:44.28 with all emeralds. Unlike many Sonic games, acquiring emeralds is done within normal rather than bonus levels, and getting all of them allows you to play the true final level.

Trivia: this game slightly predates the MegaDrive/Genesis version, so features the official first appearance of Sonic's flying mutant fox friend, Tails.
