Based on the TAS of RPG and fuzzerd0 From Green Hill to Spring Yard were easy (I managed to cut time on some acts!)... but Labyrinth... damn... My TAS score may have declined since Labyrinth Zone, but I managed to save time in the first acts, which I think is worth it.

Green Hill Zone 1

I use the strategy of climbing to the top to gain speed. Unlike my glitchless TAS, here I manage to clip into the loop, gaining speed and saving a few seconds. Then, I make the jump further ahead precise to reach a certain point without losing speed.

Green Hill Zone 2

The same route, almost unchanged, just trying to make it faster

Green Hill Zone 3

I defeat the boss as quickly as possible, and then I manage to jump off the ramp to gain speed. That saves me almost a second.

Marble Zone

There's almost no difference; just focus on completing the acts as quickly as possible, executing precise jumps, and in Act 3, defeating the boss as quickly as possible.

Spring Yard Zone 1

At the beginning, it was the same. At 20 seconds, I executed a clipping that allowed me to climb to the top, saving time on those tedious platforms (possibly the only glitch in this ROM). I learned the glitch while doing the TAS of Sonic 1: Omochao Edition I want to make an exception here. I could complete the level in 29 seconds and a few extra seconds, however, by completing it in exactly 30 seconds, I saved 347 frames. Was IGT or RTA worth it? After some discussion, I settled on RTA, so... yes... 30 seconds to save almost 5.8 seconds

Spring Yard Zone 2

Complete as quickly as possible

Spring Yard Zone 3

Here I decide to take the upper route, so I can go over the top and avoid the elevator platforms near the beginning. This saves me about 3 seconds.

From Labyrinth Zone onwards

Everything went to hell, the only thing I could do was match the time or simply be fast, although it was difficult for me.
It's a shame if I can't explain myself well how I do things, but I simply can't go into detail without it being redundant or boring. Anyway, another submission, time to wait a month
Good morning, evening or night to you, random guy that I don't know who are
