I started playing this game about 1 week before i did this run. So i spent only a few days investigating this game before I decided to start working on the SS run. When I did this run i didn't know anything about TSC (The Sonic Center) yet so everything I did in this run was found by myself. There are two big mistakes I did in this run, and there are many minor errors throughout theentire run, such as running into enemies, but the worst errors I did is when I died at the beginning of Iron Jungle (level 5); actually i wanted to pass by that robot enemy to the left corner and it's really possible to pass by the robot without touching him, I've done that before. Unfortunately I failed at it in my run so i fell down. The other bad mistake was at the beginning of the battle versus the Egg Breaker; There was another turret right behind me, so i could have saved 10 seconds by using that turret instead of running half circle to the farther cannon. That was really such an awkward mistake. I should have spent more time to research the levels. Well I still don't know what the perfect route for this game is and what kind of tricks and short cuts there are that i missed in this run, but i have a feel that an optimal time for a single-segment run while collecting all the chaos emeralds would be somewhere around 0:15. I personally think that my best performed level in this run was the first level (Westopolis). I think it was definitely better done than the other levels. Anyways hopefully somebody still likes it somewhat because i think it's still not THAT bad.
enjoy,
