Speedrun of Sonic Advance, Best Ending / 100%, on normal difficulty in 1:19:37 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 1499000

Sonic: 410000
Tails: 374000
Knuckles: 370000
Amy: 335000
Endgame: 10000


The RTA timing for this run was 1:23:48.19, so the total time bonus to subtract is 250.937 seconds, resulting with a RTA-TB time of 1:19:37.253

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

This is really just a placeholder run - I'm not happy with this at all and want to eventually get a 1:18, maybe 1:17. Uploaded for now because I won't be getting around to this for a while again.

Sonic portion was fine aside from falling down near the end of Egg Rocket.

Tails was fine besides an embarrassing mistake in the first level, and Egg Rocket skip not cooperating which is basically subpixel luck.

Knuckles was pretty good until it failed Egg Rocket skip, losing over a minute. But I mean, this is WORLD RECORD!!!! So therefore this run is PERFECT!!!

Amy had a sloppy earlygame but otherwise fine - nothing disastrous.

Moon Zone was not great but not a disaster. Very meh run overall.
