Todo the bridge skip in our AIZ2 follow this steps:
Brake with Tails in possition ~13153 when Sonic is on possition ~16816
Brake with Tails in possition ~13143 when Sonic is on possition ~16839
Brake with Tails in possition and roll ~16790 when Sonic is on possition ~16937
Brake with Tails in possition ~18054 when Sonic is on possition ~18020
Brake with Tails in possition ~18107 when Sonic is on possition ~18129
Brake with Tails in possition ~18183 when Sonic is on possition ~18269
Brake with Tails in possition ~18238 when Sonic is on possition ~18371
Brake with Tails in possition ~18330 during 11 frames and roll
Is just like the any% TAS, if you perfom this correctly the bridge will trigger early.

Yeah, I tested it right now and Sonic and Tails can legitimaly enter in Knuckles path in S3 and collect all rings in AIZ2, but I don't know if is possible to trigger this action in S3&K AIZ2 or maybe can be exejecuted with a Arbitrary Code Execution and some help of sonic engine experts like marzojr.
Edit: Forgot to mention, there are 3 rings inside the wall nearly the end, above the cave with the bubble shield and 2 ring monitors, these ring got removed in S3&K

Uhm.. that's strange because in my current .gmv the final ring counter shows 593 and this are the max number of rings in MGZ2, maybe you have another gmv or the script causes desyncs?
Here is the last .GMV, you can check

I remember in Sonic 3 alone with debug mode, sonic when collect 50 rings and enter in the bonus stage in the early sigpost next to Knuckles start this eliminated the death boundary and water, I remember doing this on my console when I was a kid xD
But Idk if this can work in S3&K I think sega fixed this glitch in the lock-on version.

Sandopolis is a very hard level to optimise, specially in this type of goal, the tip I can give is maintain and re-analize you original route but more fluid, calculates the time of the objects between falling and rising to maintain Sonic and Tails in constant movement and try to lost the less time possible with this objects because in your testrun you lost so much time with these damn objects. Sandopolis It can be a big challenge.
Just one tip with Tails: when tails jump and start flying his max impulse is starting from 900+ of jump force, personally I use 1274 of jump force.

I prefer don't touch FBZ2 because the magnets have a very annoying frame rule, in some places I gain and lost time. But if you want you can try to fix it.
You can jump during the signpost time before it stays still, spend 2 frames there with a jump, but try to maintain the same Y subpixels.

Sincerely I'm more happy with the new AIZ2, to be honest you old AIZ2 it looked "boring" sometimes for alot of backtracks and look down times. But now looks much very fluid and entertaining :). The slope glitch in Tails with the platform is very unexpected I never tested that :P
Maybe in the week I will upload the wip, and how much frames we lost with the sync proccess?

Is possible not lossing frames doing manually some parts with input splicing? You can try now that I have no trouble at all, halfway through the year I was very stressed and now I am more relaxed, so I would prefer to do things well now.
Speaking of holidays, it would be good to take a few days of this project :P ; So don't hurry yourself.

Today I have good and bad news.
Good: with the new AIZ2 and bridge skip we saved 6265 frames (I would like to keep)
Bad: The movie desync after HCZ1 boss battle; to be specific in signpost time.
GMV movie
Kaan, I would like you resync the movie again, you already have the knowledge and sufficient level of optimization to do it, then you can do sandopolis as you said me some days ago, take your time.

Woouuu; AIZ2 looks much very professional now, splendid job Kaan.
The only thing you missed was is evading the cutscene bridge seeing you don't enter in the bonus stage the glitch is posible now. I can always do it when you have the humor to resynchronize everything again.

Take in mind that Sonic Hud is compatible with a small number of Sonic hacks, you can change the checksum in the script but that does not ensure that it works perfectly in all the hacks, it's the same case with solidity display.
There are 2 ways to fix it, ask marzojr to add support for these hacks in Sonic Hud thread, which I doubt because is busy because he moved to France. Or you can add it yourself if you know about scripts.

I'm agree but I use it in MGZ2 for save 50 frames in the final boss witch is important, and some other in CNZ2, in LRZ1 and DEZ2 is useless because is possible do perfect frame hits without instashield.

@Theyogwog - Here are all of the test runs of the next levels, practically the movie is complete, I only need to add some tas-magic-skills and improved that runs, that will take time of course. All is maded by kaan, SSZ and DDZ is by me.
