Sonic Chaos (SMS) Sonic Speedrun:

"Sonic: Beat the game" category of Sonic Chaos completed in 11:14 (unofficial time of 11:14.7-ish but tenths are dropped). Official timing starts immediately after selecting a character after the title screen and stops as soon as Robotnik starts smiling when jumping onto his pad (which happened approximately at 11:14.73). Run was compared to an unsubmitted 11:18 I got the day before. The sum of best segments after this run was over stood at 11:07.

I came (3/28) [I returned to the game after a long break and got a 'casual' 11:26]
I saw (3/29) [I practiced a few strats that I messed up the day before and got two 11:18s]
I conquered (3/30) [WR]

Here are the things that can be introduced in order to get a better time:
*Land on the TH3 spring (1.5 sec)
*Not bonk the screen at the end of G2 (0.5 secs)
*Not get inputs eaten at the SE2 springs (0.5 secs)
*Get special stage skips in SE2, AP1, AP2 and EE1, (1 sec each)
*Land on the MGH3 spring, get 11+ rings and get a 5-5-1 boss (1.5 sec)
*Do slightly better beginning to AP2 (0.5 secs)
*Get 3-jump AP3 (1 sec)
*Do cartless route in EE3 (1 sec)
*Not mess up the peelout at the end of EE3 (1 sec)

The speedrun of this game is really easy to learn, I highly recommend that if you decide to start running this category, you go watch Icy's tutorial, which can be found here: https://www.speedrun.com/schaossms/gu...
