Details by each zone
;Emerald Hill Zone 1:marzojr have started here with the first zone, but after Hat had improved the last jumps.
;Emeral Hill Zone 2:
;Chemical Plant Zone 1:Here is used the zip discovered by WST. You can't accelerate in the first inclination, not enough speed, but Tee-N-Tee discovered that it's possible from the second inclination. Besides, the rolling was needed to avoid taking the initial 3 rings.
;Chemical Plant Zone 2:In the long inclination, Hat jump to do the zip discovered by Felipe and do his same moves (a little improved). The second zip discovered by skychase is very useful to reach the boss fight area.
;Aquatic Ruin Zone 1:Tee-N-Tee has shown that Knuckles can reach the zip and do the same thing in the run of Aglar's Sonic 2. Great work on your part.
;Aquatic Ruin Zone 2:Due to the structure of the map (which is different from Sonic 2) you can not make the zip in the same way. But Ten-N-Tee, was smart and he wait for a platform to do the zip to the right and jump all the level. Then, Tee-N-Tee also discovered an alternative glitch of ARZ boss and save Important frames. (Tee-N-Tee can add your opinion)

Anyway, I am not going to contribute into this, as I am going to focus on my own projects
I want to see if I can find improvements. I suggest we postpone the submission.
In HTZ2, I do not see a reason why it is not possible to use the ringbox zip, like in the current published Sonic 2 TAS. Knuckles has exactly the same hitbox size as Sonic, so, it should be possible, though I do not actually know what are the exact conditions to trigger it.
Nice improvement amyway. I wonder how much you can shave off from other parts, including mine, if you improved probably the best one (done by Aglar).Nice improvement amyway.
WST, I don't quite get it. Are you implying that jpeg is a bad format?
Thanks, nice Freudian slip btw, this reminds me of a [URL=www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-nNgUfRf6E]Dean Martin song.[/URL]
are you going to polish the whole run? :)

Some time ago I was doing some measurements and I think I used other kind of pattern, can’t remember all of the details though.
If you know another pattern faster and you can apply it, you are welcome to show it. Any improvement is accepted for a good submission.
And as for the capsule in CNZ2 is interesting moving the screen up to delete the animals fastly and show score bonus. Could be done at all stages, I'll try.
Just to clarify: are you sure that the jump-climbing pattern that you used, is the fastest? Some time ago I was doing some measurements and I think I used other kind of pattern, can’t remember all of the details though.
A bit offtopic, but would be great if you guys as team also will try to work with "Maximum Individual Rings Challenge" (aka Perfect Bonus) after finishing this wonderful project. That run is a lot [A LOOOOOOOOOOT] more complexity and entertainment than "No Rings".
