glitched category allows for out of bounds, 100% requires unlocking all characters by getting coins and emeralds
this game has a strange mechanic in which you can bump and try to preserve speed with drifts and counterdrifts as well
rng is maniuplated for more rings and speed shoes when needed, as some emerald and coins are only acessible through rings, some places can be clipped though like city stage top emerald to avoid more collections, rng is not fully controllable as the same item can come along for many frames
the best version of this game for speedrun is PC, so i lose time in the boss challenge after i clip when doing full spins to make glitched laps, the reason is you can make ABSURDLY SHARPER turns in PC version so PC gains time after you need to spin around laps, Saturn version is horrible for 100% because of item collection rules in that version.
however this TAS beats all item collections speedruns and destroys 100% record and then super sonic IL run as well which makes this the fastest radiant emerald completion
ROUTING had help from Sonic R discord
im happy with this run, all players are welcome to improve it and it's a step for more Sonic R TASing into the future.

Category is classified as "100%" here. A "100%, glitchless" is the one that gets defined.

The current best strategy for Radiant Emerald was just discovered so the Super Sonic route for Radiant Emerald was the best available when i did the TAS, now that i TASed any% i found a new one but i want to keep super sonic strat for more character variety between TASes, i will not redo this TAS just to insert another strategy that removes Super Sonic and character variety. The 100% TAS has 3 chars and the Any% has 2 chars which are not the same as 100%, so both runs show off 5 characters in general! Maybe glitchless TAS could use Sonic and Metal Sonic as well... but i'm not doing that.
TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.
