Now, ROM Hacks have been the trend of Roya's speedrunning days, especially after the year of 2007, when he had found some major acts of Jumping Speed Manipulation to make Hidden Palace Zone Act II easily one of the fastest levels in Sonic the Hedgehog 02 Long Version and Sonic 02 Delta as Knuckles.
Almost 08 years later, we now have Sonic ~ Return of Shadow, a ROM Hack that definitely meets up to the Black hedgehog's ability set and demands ample much, and ever since its release, Roya has been finding all possible ways to get the records for each stage down to as low as possible.

In Bayside Atoll Zone Act 0I, it is possible to mess around with Shadow's Skate Hover enough that enemies and monitors will be destroyed just by passing right above or below them.
The Midboss of this demo is also currently the only one in the game that may be destroyed in 04 seconds or less by Shadow's Chaos "Magnet" ability (A Button, while in Midair), due to fast enemy invincibility time ending ever so quickly, leaving it well open for more than one attack.

Now, the record has been set to a rather difficult one to beat, assuming that you intend on taking the upper route.
This run had taken about 0287 attempts from the beginning to do; the GMV file itself had to be rerecorded from Frame 00 exactly 0II6 times, making this run not as lengthy to do as how certain other Single Act runs were at the time that this was worked on.

When you or somebody else has beaten the record provided, make a Video Response to this video, and guaranteed, the strat used in said response will be examined and attempted to be bested.
If there be no better way to beat this stage, then the record time of 035 seconds and change will be considered the fastest time in Bayside Atoll Zone Act 0I as Shadow that is possible in the 20I4 and 20I5 speedrunning strategies until proven otherwise.
