In all honesty, the "starting with 14 emeralds" approach was what I had in mind when I made the original request. Just to give you an idea of where this is coming from: even with my paltry skills I can beat angel Island zone 1 ridiculously quickly by backtracking a little and grabbing the first giant ring, which gives me 50 rings automatically and allows me to transform into Hyper Sonic instantly. That's the kind of thing I want to see pushed to its limit. Also, yes, a speedrun the final boss fight would be FRIKKEN AWESOME. I didn't even think about that, but I definitely want to see someone try it out now.

I hate to do this in such an anonymous noob way, but I didn't know any other way to make this request. I have a request for a TAS of Sonic 3 and Knuckles. I've watched all the Sonic speedruns on this site and loved them all, and of course I adore the games themselves. What I'd love to see that no-one has done is a Super or Hyper Sonic speedrun. What you guys can do with just the normal blue hedgehog is amazing, but I'd love to see what you can do with the super-speed, higher jump, and invincibility of Super Sonic, not to mention the "Sonic Boom" of Hyper Sonic. I realize that most of the time the levels finish with far less than the 50 rings needed to transform, but I wonder if, for some levels, getting the 50 rings (either hitting a big ring or just picking them up en route) and going super might actually allow you to complete the level faster. Just an idea I had, and something I'd love to see if someone wants to try.
