This should either be completely banned or put into freestyle since you are using a shield from another level to help you complete a new level which makes it so people who select the level using the level select code be at a dissadvantage. Doing this takes the strategy of finding a path that also gets a particular sheild and it also gives an advantage to people who use roms since they can just make a savestate with them having a certain shield at the beginning of the level (even though savestates are banned at soniccenter they still seem to allowed if you only make one before the level starts since I have seen this on a few videos).

Hey, I only savestate at the level select screen! Don't blame me!

Also there's no way that'll ever happen, since doing this requires more strategy to determine firstly, what shield is most useful in act 2, and secondly how to use it best.

What Mike said. I'm really against savestates being used at all, but that's kinda an impossible regulation.
