This topic is a combination of a large amount of SA2 challenges. I cannot update this all, so I ask for help from any person who has power in this forum. Many of these challenges have separate topics, but it is hard to get enough interest. If we combine all challenges, then this topic will hopefully not become inactive. The records I am posting are copied from the original topic list, and they may not be fully updated.

Minimal A
Beat a mission as quickly as possible while pressing A as little as possible! Fewer A presses takes priority over a shorter time; e.g. completion of a mission with 0 A presses and a time of 1:30.00 beats completion of a level with 2 A presses and a time of 1:15.00. Your rank upon completion of the mission does not matter.

Groudon · « **Reply #3 on:** February 11, 2007, 04:37:33 pm »

0 points on Sky Rail m1

X-5 · « **Reply #4 on:** February 12, 2007, 03:06:59 pm »

some you can copy over, like metal harbor M3 since it gives an A rank by default unless your ridiculously slow,and green hill since it's all about speed / 0presses and getting a C rank.

Anyway I got this today: Metal harbor(M2) 40.99 with 0 presses. Used the 30 second strategy here, under 40 is probably possible.

also, since this is a challenge topic after all I have a CE challenge for everyone: Get a perfect bonus on CE1. I can't pull it off but I know it's possible, and isn't out of the way or anything so it could help alot during a score attack for someone who can figure it out!

Stefan · « **Reply #5 on:** February 14, 2007, 08:41:42 am »

what a perfect bonus? off enemies?

Groudon · « **Reply #6 on:** February 14, 2007, 12:50:40 pm »

I managed to find 141 on Wild Canyon (2P)

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #7 on:** February 20, 2007, 12:46:12 am »

The original fast death topic only allowed hard mode in Wild Canyon. Since this one lets hard mode be used in any stage, a few more can improve.

Pumpkin Hill 1.67
Pyramid Cave 2.49
Meteor Herd 1.62
Iron Gate 7.49
Dry Lagoon 2.42
Egg Quarters 1.05

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #8 on:** March 01, 2007, 07:33:16 pm »

Finally got myself killed by the gold beetle in Aquatic Mine. That level drops to 4.10.

Ring Rush · « **Reply #11 on:** March 03, 2007, 12:17:34 pm »

I'm not going to post any of those, because I don't feel like sorting through finding which ones are actually a record. Remember to only post RECORDS, it makes the job much easier for me.

PS: I got a new record in RH - Death :)

LightSonic94 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 03, 2007, 04:03:04 pm »

Record Beated : Weapons Bed = 00:01:53

Ok Ring Rush..:!!!

CodeGirl · « **Reply #13 on:** March 03, 2007, 04:48:12 pm »

You lose.

Twice over.

Everyone, just ignore what the poor ban-evader has to say in this topic. All of it. It'll be for the best.

X-5 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 03, 2007, 05:08:16 pm »

some of his times sound impossible anyway, I can't do 29.30 on CE even if I go as fast as possible in the beginning hitting all the rings

LightSonic94 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 04, 2007, 03:24:45 pm »

you dont need hit rings...you need to go very fast in hard mode...and kill with the first robot....later of skateboarding

LightSonic94 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2007, 09:53:22 am »

i have a new challenge...''The Pause More Fast''...at the start...its a good challenge...i go to do that...later...! :P

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #17 on:** March 13, 2007, 10:57:14 am »

That isn't a very meaningful challenge, as the level layout is completely irrelevant. You always end up doing the exact same thing, and it's not particularly challenging to reach perfection (which is 1.60 on the first life of a run, and 0.02 for all subsequent lives) once you know when the timer starts.

Conker T. Squirrel · « **Reply #18 on:** March 16, 2007, 04:09:32 pm »

I got some of those low score challenges. The MH one was the easiest. Sand Ocean was easy to considering the glitch and all...

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #19 on:** March 16, 2007, 05:21:41 pm »

Green Hill is definitely the easiest 0.

On the subject of low scores, I have a new one. Thanks to well-played enemy manipulation, and the hover jump, Hidden Base drops from 460 all the way to 40.

Ring Rush · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2007, 11:00:38 pm »

1. Removed Green Hill m2, m3, and m5 from Minimal A division due to the fact that they don't exist >_>
2. Added m4 ring division.
3. Bump

I got 440 rings on city escape(GC) in 2:32, it was easy once you do the beginning right

edit- 2:15 :D

I know SM can beat this though, its easy when you get the beginning right.

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #23 on:** May 28, 2007, 04:01:31 pm »

How about a new category? "Start to 1-up" - Start the level, and get to a 1-up item box as fast as you can. Pause the game, and count your time. Only 1-ups from tangible item boxes or balloons can be used here; lives by other means (such as rings or, if you're really desperate, small animals) aren't usable, nor are life icons randomly dug up from the ground. Because pause timing has some variance to it (and because this should be about the 1-up, not the pause) I suggest that all times here be rounded down to the nearest second. Makes for better "Join the [X] club" possibilities too. Every stage except Route 101, Route 280, and Green Hill (which have no 1-up boxes) will work--and yes, City Escape gets a big GC advantage.
Sample times if this is accepted:
Wild Canyon :04
Prison Lane :06
Metal Harbor :17
Pumpkin Hill :02
Mission Street :48
Aquatic Mine :20
Pyramid Cave :10
Death Chamber :19
Eternal Engine 1:06
Meteor Herd :07
Final Rush :09
Dry Lagoon :09
Sand Ocean :01
Egg Quarters :13
Lost Colony :28
Security Hall :13
Sky Rail :05
Mad Space :02
Final Chase :17
Cannon's Core :57

Sounds good...if I wasn't doing SSR I'd try it. If those are all the levels allowed I'll add it.
