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%.

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.
