feos: I've never TASed Sonic in my life aside from thesetwo times where I had no idea what I was doing. Just like those 2 times, I improved the first level of this movie by more than 200 frames. ExistingSonicTASes are definitely worth examining to learn speed tricks from them, depending on which mechanics this hack happens to replcate.
Also just like those 2 times, the hack does not meet our minimal requirements for hacks. Repeating the quoted Movie Rule here:
This hack is overly obscure: there's no public link for the patch file, and there's no internet page made by the hack authors that would describe what it does and the progress. Also from browsing youtube, it looks like the hack is not only unfinished and abandoned, but merged into a different active project called Sonic 2 Archives.

Hello pedro and welcome to TASVideos. The Sonic series is a fairly technical one, something that I question here by you as there is some things still possible to shave.
But... what is the purpose of this ROMHack?
There's no information that's been provided about this ROMHack and to me it's a mix mash of Sonic 1 elements from Sonic 2 plus a few extras.
The only other thing is that this ROMHack is now a apparently 3 year old demo, but because of how hard it's to find information about this ROMHack let alone the devs themselves about any progress.
Also in regards to the title the only two videos I found online referred to the hack as "Extended" whilst another "Extension".
I'm lost.
Abstained.

Since it's so obscure, I think it makes sense to copy this great review here because I can't link to it.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
I would encourage you to take a look at the existing Sonic tases on this site. There a lot of tricks to go fast! I would not mind watching this tas normally since you do some stuff that makes me chuckle like walking through the bouncing pad in Casino, but when it comes to tas it usually comes down to either speed and/or entertainment. If you were able to maybe focus exclusively on entertainment alongside tightening up sections to be much faster this might work well. Although as others noted this romhack might not be a good choice so maybe take a look at the original games or more extensive well known romhacks.

Found another comment, apparently from the hack author.
