It's pretty easy. 'Just something you could go try out if you wish.

Hey, my guide didn't have anything to do with this, did it? :D
I knew about all that stuff, but I haven't tried doing the whole game without the shoes.
I'll think about getting the shoes but not using them (except to destroy the monkey guard).
From there, it should be really easy.

*Marth runs through the rest of the stages in his head*

Yeah, there's nothing to it. There are just a few parts that would need the shoes,
but skipping them with long jumps is basic time-attack stuff.

Alternatively to using the steps to jump out, you can get on a pipe and jump through the sewer entrance to behind the box and into Twinkle Park. ;)

Yeah, that also works, but you forgot to mention one little detail: Sonic gets stuck if you do that.
It can be fixed, though (this also works if you enter the Twinkle Park tunnel by jumping up
out of Station Square's "protected water"). After you come out of the elevator, turn around
and dash into the closed doors. You might have to be turning slightly right.
You'll be able to fall through into the Cyber-Net building if you keep dashing.
This gets really easy with a bit of practice. Try it with Auto Camera and see what happens.

Yeah but there's still a flaw with that: It's still sunset outside and not nighttime, which means that you can't get into Casinopolis. I've tried doing that before.

[Marth]

You can still get into Casinopolis (there are at least 2 ways), but no cutscenes will start.
(stupid security junk... it's like they knew we were going to find glitches)

One way is to do a homing attack through the wall of the station to land in the casino street. (GC, maybe DC)
The other way is to jump on top of the train and jump through the ceiling from there. (DC only)
