Wait, what?
I understand 1:14 by fixing the stupider mistakes in the beginning and the boss battle, but 1:11?
How do you get to the glitching spot that fast? I've tried to spindash-fly instead of slowly flying up to the glitch spot, but failed every time.
Now it's my turn to wonder "WTF" and try to shave off these last seconds... Now my house will have to hear "Oh sh*t" "Stop Record" and "Record" A LOT. :P
And it's just too sad that you can't do it with Sonic or Knuckles... Well, maybe Knux could superglide *exactly* so he goes up when he needs so, but not Sonic. :(
About the glitch:
Well, I actually not only found a glitch, but know EXACTLY what happens. (leftover bragging)
If you fly along the very top row of the loop, at some point it ejects you UP, regardless whether a wall is already located there. Needless to say, you get stuck in a wall, and with a little luck, you can zip. Shame there's something that stops you dead on your tracks for no reason if you don't do it JUST right.
EDIT: Oh, there's a video. Niiiiiiiiice.
Sigh. No matter how creative I get when trying to outtrick people, when it comes to raw, brutal skill, I'm always PWNED. Good job, SkyLights!
