Somehow I doubt this will become a full-fledged challenge, but I think it's worth mentioning.

Egg Quarters m3 - 26:20.20 12:31.19 06:48.72 02:52.74

Without using the control stick.

lol WTF SM? patience and anger management to the max there. I think I tried that on a couple sonic levels without such luck =/

heres something for ya all to toy with..


beat city escape mission 3 as fast as possible, but you gotta have 999 rings before your allowed to touch the chao. I clocked in at 5:59.xx, just barely getting sub 6 =) I forgot exactly how I did it but I think its like, go through twice and get atleast 400-ish rings each time, then manage to get 999 somewhere around the building descent and go for the chao.

I tried this on some other levels like metal harbor but I got extremely bored at around 300 rings and quit, definitely not a good level level for it.

Metal harbor only takes 3 a button presses now (a jump dash and two "get off of a pulley"s). I don't think it can go lower than this.

Thusly, Metal Harbor mission 1 in 1:56.12 with 3 a button presses.

Actually, i got a couple new shortcuts in..  so it's now 1:41.92 with 3 a button presses.

mha2 in 45.35 with 2 a presses.
mha3 can be done in 1 but it requires a nice variation on an sba.

--------------

EDIT:

so I was wrong about ancient light, so it goes to 2 a presses on gc.
anyway:

mha1 2 a presses: 1:44.75
mha2 0 a press: 41.90
mha3 no presses: 57.44 (this is annoying)

[:(]

My stats for Sa2(b):


Green Hill:      4 presses   Rank: C

City Escape:   2 presses   Rank: B   

White Jungle: 0 presses   Rank: C

Thought I'd do some, but I'm getting a little tired of these life things.

Fastest Life:
CE~ :19 [First try]
WC~ :04 [Took some effort actually >_>]
MeH~ :15 [Simple]
PH~ :02 [That iron bar is messed up or something, everytime I dove onto it, I would slide off...]
HB~ 1:18
PC~ :10 [I use this level to collect lives in, so this was easy]
DL~ :09
SO~ :01 [lol1second]
SR~ :04
MaS~ :02 [rapid pause!]

I also did City Escape with zero A presses and Metal Harbor with two A presses, but not good times.

[SadisticMystic]

yeah, so how about Final Rush

without the A button

without dying either

good times

Oh wow. I wish i had seen this sooner. In my 6 months here NEVER have i seen this topic.
Well it looks fun and the city escape and metal harbour ones have been things i have been trying out myself. I doubt anything good will happen.. But it will put fun back into it for me i guess :(

Well, it's been over a year since the last post. However, that doesn't mean this has been inactive; I know at least SM and I have periodically been doing some of these challenges and updating the first post since then. For example, if you look at Fast Death I have nearly all of them (and vidded half of them), which wasn't the case back in April of last year. I've also worked on Mission 2 low As and Fast Lifes.

Also I italicized the rules (while leaving the descriptions in normal text) to create a consistent format.

oh. i'll just forget it then.

[Buizel]

Hey, FKE, I was about to make a post here myself; we need more people doing these challenges! soniccoloursunleashed, don't get discouraged by FKE's post; yes, thread necromancy is a sin, etc. etc., but competition is still encouraged, even if unofficial.

EDIT: Also maybe PM a mod or prominent member before making a post in an inactive topic like this next time?

[flying fox]

Actually since SDM hasn't been around for about three weeks now, it's looking possible that the Emerald Challenges won't be updated untill he comes back or whatever, you guys know as much as me >_>. However, maybe it won't be such a bad idea to start another challenge, the Emerald Challenges did generate quite a bit of interest.

More SA2 is never a bad thing <3
