Sonic Advance (100% / True Ending) World Record -
Speedrun of Sonic Advance, Best Ending / 100%, on normal difficulty in 1:16:54 real-time minus time bonus (taking real-time and subtracting one frame per 100 points in time bonus) - timing starts upon selecting the first character off of a completely fresh file, and ends upon the in-game timer freezing upon defeating Moon Zone. This speedrun was ran on a gamecube with a GBA Player, using the Gameboy Interface software (You can see my input display at the top!).
The total time bonus (excluding Moon Zone's, since the run has ended by then) adds up to 1823000
Sonic: 490000
Knuckles: 495000
Tails: 414000
Amy: 374000
Endgame: 50000
The RTA timing for this run was 1:22:00.132, so the total time bonus to subtract is 305.21 seconds, resulting with a RTA-TB time of 1:16:54.922.
Unlocking Moon Zone requires the following:
Beating the game with all four characters
Collect the 7 Chaos Emeralds. This requires finding the corresponding special spring then clearing the special stage - every zone has one special spring except Ice Mountain, where both acts have one special spring each
Beat X Zone again with Sonic
Run overall is... ok I guess. I really want to get a 1:15 but after moving and not playing the game for over a month, on top of focusing on sonic advance 2 ILs at the same time, it'd take more derusting to get back into shape for this - so this is basically a placeholder. For now.
Sonic portion happened to be the Sonic WR, so uh that was really good lol
Knuckles had a dumb death in Angel Island 1, but first try Egg Rocket at least!
Tails missed the zipline jump over the spring in Ice Mountain 2, losing tons of time. Again, at least Egg Rocket skip went super well since the breakout can be random!
Amy fell down in Angel Island 2, completely butchering the entire stage.
Postgame / Moon Zone was solid.
