- Genre: Platform
Surprisingly fast bouncing around. The lack of spin-dash makes the strategy a bit different than the other Sonic runs, since it becomes a lot more important to preserve your momentum. However, this doesn't prevent the authors from achieving crazy velocities even with such a significant limitation.
Completed without collecting any emeralds.

This is the fourth run of this game, improving on the previous effort by almost two minutes.
