Thanks for encoding again Wockes -- from what I've seen this is one of the slower levels, hopefully we'll see more awesomeness later ;) (after the autoscroller level that is -- this really is the red-headed stepchild of sonic games isn't it?) AKA -- that's an interesting glitch and I'll check out. I actually ended up using L+R to slow down to normal speed at the end of this level so that I could jump and trip the signpost from the right instead of the left, which makes it not jump up and down as much. Hopefully the sinking will provide some sort of shortcut somewhere.

Well so far I have not been able to fully replicate the glitch. Holding L+R in a spin while moving right lowers sonic a frame while he skids (or just holding L), but when i go into a spin again (or walk) he goes back to ground level. I haven't been able to make him sink twice. I should be posting a WIP soon I promise ;)

Slowly :P ... I've been tinkering with the GG version as well to see how they compare. The level designs are subtly different, for example in GG gh1 you can't do the hold-right-and-skip-everything trick. I won't promise this time, but I'll try to post a wip soon

DOUBLE POST! ...but with new wip... This is Green Hill for Game Gear... as noted, first zone is slower due to slight change that disallows cool trick. But I daresay it is faster that you could do unassisted on gamegear. And the second zone is actually faster than unassisted! Woo! :22 seconds baby! Plus the boss on gamegear is way faster than master system. The downside is ludicrously long score tallies, but, meh.

I'd rather see a Master System run than a Game Gear run, than again, I have the Master System version. =P I find the youtube posted runs very appealing and fast, I like them.

Game Gear can get 18 on act 1. Roll down the hill after the forced jump (while you're still offscreen, of course). In act 2 you jumped against a wall rather than just making a smaller jump underneath it.

i think the GG run is still a bit rough, but i dont have time to explain [last day of classes, w00t!] so i will edit this post sometime today. EDIT[finally]: ok, here is what i see that could be improved on (speculative, due to my inability to play any emulators on a mac :( ) also, i refer to the youtube version, for reasons already stated. :10 would it increase speed/reduce frames if you spun down that mini-hill? ~1:27 is there any way you could start bouncing on the water, to cut down on water-induced slowdown? i know you are already IN the water, so it may not work, but just a thought. i DO like the mini speed boosts you get when rolling off the edge and hitting the crab. 2:27 same as point #1 looked good otherwise. sorry for the inconvenience for only remarking with youtube timing units >_>

Thanks for youtubing again Wockes ... RE mike, those are good suggestions. I tried to get into a roll again in 1, guess i'll have to try harder ;) In 2, I don't think I can jump lower on the spring, but if I approach it slower I could probably avoid hitting the cliff. I'm looking forward to bridge 1, from Sprint's videos it should be another super fast level... on SMS it didn't work out too well. Thanks everyone for the support, I'm pretty busy but I'll try to get this done eventually ;)

Re: stickyman, aka sneaky-edit-man ;) 1. Nope, the mini hills don't count as real hills for the purpose of speeding up, going into a roll just slows you down like flat land 2. I haven't been able to bounce on water like in sonic 2 :( And Re: mike, if zone 1 can be done in :18, I haven't been able to. I did get it down to :19 though.

I wonder how much longer a run that collects the emeralds would be than a run that doesn't. Too bad they wouldn't grant you access to anything extra. Yoohoo! Alden, where did you go?

Ermacone is working on an emerald version of the SMS game, but I haven't heard from him lately :( I'm working on GG version, no emeralds. I do in fact intend to continue on this run, but I've been distracted by various things like, um, real life (psh... real life). Hang in there! (and if someone wants to work on this faster than me I won't be offended :P)

Wow, it's been 2 and a half months since I posted my last WIP. And this new one is sort of a step backwards -- just the first level of the GG version. It's as fast as I have been able to do, :19 seconds... I was really holding out for :18 but I think the camera is just too slow (the end sign does not "spawn" until the camera is sufficiently close). The most aggravating part is that I'm only about 5 frames off from the lower time :( Oh well. I want to post it so I can convince myself to go on with the rest of the game -- also if someone feels like taking a stab at going for a lower time I would be pleased... I have memory addresses if anyone wants them. OK enough with the long-winded excuses, here's the new WIP, and here's to increased productivity.

New wip. I've caught up to where I was three months ago, but it's faster now. Hurrah!

I could try to encode but I've got a terribly slow upload connection so it would probably take a week ;) The emulator isn't *that* hard to set up and it looks a lot better than youtube anyways... PM me and I'd be happy to help. Good luck with that fan Wockes!

I keep forgetting to watch, so i am going to ATTEMPT to encode this sucker (first attempt ever, so lets see how it goes)... anyone have any preferences for sites to upload it to? i may try youtube... if that is cool with you, alden. edit: of course, you would get full credit for making the vid ;)
