This TAS is a 18.87 second improvement to the previous TAS. Encoded to best possible entertainment results...
This was originally just going to be a 100% TAS improvement and left at that, but looking at total IGT times, I found that nonetheless, it was going to be faster than the any% if I do that branch as well. So, here we are...

Will edit later...
Edit: took a break from TASing so I didn't get to edit...

nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: Congratulations on the improvements. Having been 18 days since your submission, I was hoping to see stage by stage improvements. Nevertheless...your movie beat [3325] Genesis Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by Zurggriff in 17:41.85. Good job.
Accepting.

Firstly, congrats to ShiningProdigy for another great publication! Just a minor note to whom in may concern (despoa, I think?) on the Publication notes themselves; The final sentence on the first paragraph compares the original game, to this version, with Knuckles in it. Specifically; "...If you haven't seen Sonic the Hedgehog 2 completed before, you may wish to do so before seeing what a character with a spindash and gliding can accomplish." suggests, to me at least, that the base Sonic 2 doesn't include a spindash, when it does. The (unofficial) Knuckles in Sonic 1 does add (along with gliding) the spindash, as it wasn't a feature in the first game, but it's in all versions of the sequel. Like I say, a small thing; just caught my eye.
