Sonic bounces around surprisingly fast. The lack of Spin Dash makes the strategy a bit different from that of Sonic 2 (https://tasvideos.org/2037M) and Sonic 3 & Knuckles (https://tasvideos.org/1656M) runs, since preserving your momentum becomes a lot more important. However, this doesn't prevent the author from achieving crazy velocities even with such a significant limitation. In this run, the game is completed without collecting any emeralds.

This is the eighth run of this game, improving on the previous effort (https://tasvideos.org/2410M) by 00:03.19 (of in-game time), primarily due to higher optimization.

To see a movie of this game that doesn't take advantage of zips, watch the "no zips" run (https://tasvideos.org/1937M) by Aglar (https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Aglar).
