There's always SprintGod's old TAS. While it wasn't made with the latest tools it's still quite high-quality. Alas it does use the "look down, then jump up" zip technique, but most of the levels are still played normally.
Wow, I like this run :) especially the boss fight at ~26:00

More progress with Amy, now up to HCZ2.
I was so sad to kill her in the beginning of HCZ2, she’s lovely :'(
So happy that she had 6 lives :3

Glitchfest!Link to videoBtw, you may note a jump at 1:33. Actually, I did not press jump button at that time, so I have no idea why the hell Amy jumped.

Waduh… Tried some idea,but my script takes ages to finish.
The idea is to take some image of size exactly 4096×4096 (a photo for example) and for each color in the 24 bit color space find the closest color in the image (excluding the pixel from further look). Not sure if the result will look nice or ugly, and cannot check… Life is too short… I guess photo-like images at allrgb.com were generated in other way (maybe they used multithreading and/or some additional data structure to make color lookup faster).

the sonic heroes TAS shows a lot more different gameplay than the amy one(compared to the original games).It's definitely more distinct and may be able to get published if the whole TAS is different from sonic 2.
Dunno. I like hacks with Amy way more :)
I like her abilities making it easy to control her. As I said before, TASing her feels a little like having sex with her ^^
Anyway, I make every my run just for fun. So you don’t have to worry, my runs will never appear on this site :-p

I suggest interlacing all the squares, horizontally and vertically, left to right and top to bottom. Somehow, I imagine the resulting image would be at least more smoothly gradiented than this. The resulting image would have small 16×16 squares with similar colors instead of these much-larger squares.
Late :)

Well, if we start not from that we have 3-dimensional color space, but from the image posted above. We already have 4096×4096 pixels. Is it possible to reorder them in another way? Hmm, now I see that it’s not so easy as it may seem to be…
Reordering them won't help the fact that the data is still 3-dimensional.
But, you could flip every odd square horizontally/vertically. Then you'd get this: http://bisqwit.iki.fi/kala/snap/truecolor2.png
Or you might do that, and swap the blue and red axis. Then you'd get this: http://bisqwit.iki.fi/kala/snap/truecolor2b.png Which incidentally highlights how much better the eye is at detecting changes in red or green color than changes in blue color.
Well, this is better! Thanks a lot :)

Please, stop to argue, people have different preferences about speedruns… As for me, I do not see any problem with «super» runs…
Btw, why isn’t Sonikkustar «expert player» anymore? o_O

LTRP, and one more thing about Amy@S3… I am exploring it just for fun now. It seems that sometimes when I have great speed, I can roll while jumping (like Sonic) with Amy %)
(upd) it seems that MGZ2 boss is unbeatable in this hack %)
(upd) defeated! But do not completely understand how %)
At last I was sure that I’m still stuck because I had no idea how to break the capsule, but… Tails made it for me himself. And I was ready to begin CNZ. For minutes. It did not start %)
With camhack it’s sometimes visible that Amy is bouncing in the air offscreen.
Anyway, itṥ possible to complete the level by going into Knuckles’s boss area, I think…
Summary: incredible hack, but still a little buggy.

Waduh… Made an attempt to TAS a game, but realized that I have to manipulate luck to pass it quickly. I need to get some weapon bonus (for example a bomb pack) from the first enemy in order to destroy others faster… So I will not continue with this project, just will let you know what I tried to TAS…
The game is Spooky Castle from http://hamumu.com. There are also many other games available, and they all should perfectly run within hourglass since they all use the same game engine.
A very short preview of how this game looks like:

Nope, Amy in Sonic 3 is recently made and it is not Sonic 3 Customizable.
Wew! Very nice! Excepting Amy’s sprite, I do not like how she looks in this edition at all. But the controls seem to be absolutely same as in S2 version, which is good. Thanks a lot :)
However, I see many bug reports there, so I think it makes sense to wait for future versions before TASing it.
Btw, I’ve found something else…
This is Sonic 2 secret rings (the hack you’re TASing).
I am playing as… Well, guess who is this ^_^
P.S.: sorry for a little offtopic

Hmm, yep, the same combination does not work in gens as well… I’ve reconfigured it to be w,a,s,d, but it does not help, now I cannot press A+S in frame advance mode. And so gonna try to reassign the frame advance key as well… Thanks for the advice anyway.
(upd) finally got it working by setting frame advance key to be right alt. Thanks a lot :)
