Here's a super cool glitch to skip a big ol' chunk of Spring Yard Zone Act 3 in Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis!

There are numerous ways to perform this glitch - some of which are a little more advanced - but this version is relatively simple to perform even if it doesn't get you quite as far as you can possibly zip by glitching.

SO! Around 10 seconds into the level, you'll find a vertical shaft with multiple vertically moving blocks. Jump all the way to the top of these blocks, and tuck yourself into the upper right corner. Hold down to duck while the top right block pushes Sonic into the ceiling.

Once he gets stuck in the ceiling, press LEFT to zip slightly to the right. You can now freely walk right for a few steps until you run into a barrier. Here, tap A very quickly to perform a short hop, then hold RIGHT after Sonic starts to descend from that short hop. This should get you stuck in the wall in the correct spot. Jump once more, and Sonic will fall down to another section.

In this new, lower section, hold LEFT for a bit until Sonic is situated below one of the half-pipe thingies with the spiky balls. You may want to jump to scroll the camera up to get some vision of the environment above you. But once you're below one of the half-pipes, you'll need to position Sonic below the left edge of the half-pipe.

The best way to get Sonic to the correct spot is to jump then immediately hold RIGHT on the D-Pad until you can no longer move right, then let go of the D-Pad. You'll want to perform this jump when you're near the gate-looking background element that's sort of shaped like a sideways L.

Look, just refer to the video, okay?

BUT! Once Sonic is in the correct spot, you're going to have to make some precise inputs. Press LEFT and START at the same time so that you pause the game just after Sonic moves to the right for ONE FRAME. Then unpause and press RIGHT and START to pause the game after Sonic moves back to the left for one frame.

Then, unpause the game and JUMP on the exact same frame the game begins. This will cause Sonic to fall once more. Now simply hold LEFT and you will be ejected into a large half pipe area, and you've skipped a good chunk of the stage!

Speedrunners will often skip even farther into the stage by taking one more step. Before being ejected all the way into the large half-pipe area, they will stop so that Sonic is stuck in the wall just before the half pipe.

Depending on the position of the moving platform, tapping LEFT to fully eject Sonic from the wall can zip him past the next section with the spiky balls. This skips a segment where you're normally required to push a button to move a block, and that saves several seconds.
