Personal opinion, glitchless runs are the best, because it shows how the game is supposed to be played. Glitches are fun, but nowadays they are too heavily abused to be entertaining. Thanks for the feedback anyhow. As for the request, I'm not gonna optimize that hack anytime soon (if not, at all). I wanted to be a one-time project for me, and wanted to showcase it to others if they wanted to improve on it.
FYI I’ve found out that liquidshade’s Sonic Extractor can be used to figure out the level layouts for this hack. Here is a piece of Angel Island 1, as a proof. It is slightly glitched, but still gives you a lot more information about the layout than you can see with a naked eye. So, if you decide to TAS it seriously one day or another, consider making level maps to see what routes you can take and where you can probably abuse a glitch to save time.

Meanwhile, I have discovered how to beat Sonic 1 Egg Factory not simply faster, but way faster :)
But well, this is probably already not so interesting to watch, I agree.

Had no mood to redo or copy-paste the boss fight, sorry… Just showing the idea.
LTRP, your run was extremely fun to watch, despite being really not much optimized and too glitchless for my eyes. Loved the capsule covered by snow in Ice Cap zone :)
Can I please TAS this hack too? I think I could find some glitches and shortcuts if I tried it :)

Wow, that was lovely :)
Good job on improving yourself ^^ I guess this kind of game is way too complex to be sure that your TASes are not improveable, so, do not worry ^^

This game deserved a full TAS…

But you should realize that this is still very improveable, as this is the second TAS of this game in history, and there can be a lot of better routes / shortcuts / glitches and so on… In fact, I found some zips, but did not investigate if they could save time. Anyway, enjoy.
(upd) I’ve found this. If anyone wants to TAS this, check it out, you’ll find it useful :)

As LTRP didn’t announce his new TAS here, I do it myself then… See here.
(upd 1) By the way, I’ve just found a very very quick level-wrap in this game, but it seems to be useless when applied at the point where I tried, however, the technic could be used at another place. I guess LTRP could have found it, too, but, as we all know, he prefers doing shortcutless runs. Also, I am ahead of LTRP in my test attempt anyway, so, if I have enough time & patience, I will finish (with some help from feeuzz) my own attempt and post it, too…
(upd 2) Since I hasn’t TASed for a long time, and feeuzz also was in good mood for TASing, we decided to check out LTRP’s recent TAS and try improving it, just to see how it would look if it was made by our legendary team (lol). As this was originally a just for fun project, it wasn’t any hard to go ahead by seconds. At first we were planning to beat the whole game, but what we found in the second act, was way too adorable, sweet and cute to continue. *_*

Wow, this was very impressive! Did you think of making a full game ring attack? It would classify as a playaround TAS and thus would not require much optimization.

What is the output of this command?
glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
When I used the proprietary nvidia driver, I had to reinstall it using the nvidia installer every time the kernel was updated. So if you haven't done so, you could try that.
glxinfo says Yes.
I use the binary nvidia package provided by my distribution, and most other things work fine. Thank you anyway. I’ll try to update my system, there is almost a gigabyte of updates, there is a chance that it will resolve the issue.
(upd) yes it is working now

Out of curiosity: are you trying to TAS on a laptop with a NVIDIA GPU with the Optimus technology? And if so, are you using Nouveau (the open source driver) or the proprietary driver?
It’s a desktop PC with the proprietary nvidia driver & 64 bit Arch Linux

With such an idiot as eggman, it's not always a bad idea to leave your character in the boss room without rings and go away to take a cup of coffee. :)
