Time attack of Secret Base Act 2 in Sonic Advance, with Knuckles, in 0:59:28

Tied WR... blargh. But I really am not a fan of the trick in this level, so I'll leave it at this.

0:03 - With Tails and Sonic, I time the start of the stage slightly earlier so they can just walk from the piston lid to the red platform. With Knux, I intentionally wait a bit longer, to the point where he has to do a hop - but this is still faster since my delay makes the red platform at 0:12 a bit higher and thus save time (Knux would have to wait for it to rise high enough otherwise)

0:06 - There's a difficult punch strat where you go bottom at the very start, then go up from the rope - but doing what I do here (top at the start, then down from the rope) turned out to be about the same speed, except way easier.

0:35 - This series of jumps are horribly obnoxious. Have to jump off of some invisible collision, hold left so I can land on the horizontal spring, then jump high and far enough to reach the item box, but not too far or else I'll hit some ceiling collision. Then with the ring box bop, you have to not be moving too fast or else you'll hit the side of the giant pipe and lose all your speed - but too slow and you won't make it to the boost pad without a glide (which is slow)
