Link to video[/url] Anyone is up to this? This is definitely a very fitting category for Sonic CD, and one with much, much entertainment potential! The player would have to Time Travel to the past in every Zone 1 and Zone 2 to destroy the Robot Machine and the hologram, Zone 3 would be a Good Future, and we'd see the good ending. Note that there's another way to get the good ending, by collecting all Time Stones through Special Stages, but that's a completely different category. (Though both could be merged into a single one, 100%) The goals, although redundant, could be: -Destroy all Robot Machines and Metal Sonic holograms in the Past. -Make a Good Future in every Zone. -Get the good ending.

I thought you only had to destroy the robot machines to get a good future.

And you were right. But skipping the holograms would be throwing away entertainment potential, and wouldn't look "complete" to me.

Personally I do not like this game… Too complicated, too much various effects…

I definitely want to see a 100% run of SonicCD. But I would combine the two 'good ending goals.' Destroy the Robot machines (and Metal Sonic holograms) in the past, and collect all the time stones. The reason being I can not see a 'destroy machines in the past' being a valid catagory. 'Good ending' would be quicker via time stones (I assume?), but I agree that considering SonicCD's gimmick there should be a run where the machines are destroyed. So make the category 100% and do both. Not to mention '100%' would go towards justifying destroying the Metal Sonic Holograms. Of course you would have to make sure to get the last Time Stone at the end of Metalic Madness(?) act2 so all Robot machines spawn to be destroyed.

You have some great points there, Paused, that could work quite well! I really want to see someone interested in TASing Sonic CD, but as WST said, this game's physics are completely different to those of the main Sonic trilogy, so not many TASers will be up to it, I'm afraid. It's even difficult to find Sonic CD superplays on freaking youtube!
