Hi everyone! How's it going? Believe it or not, but this is my first post of 2017.
I was aware that Simon broke the Speedrun world record for Jack Jackrabbit; just forgot to send him my congratulations. This is a similar sort of thing: Record setting individual acts instead of doing it all in one go.
There is a feature that allows you to play as Sonic and Tails in Time Attack mode, rather than just Sonic. I found out how to take Sonic up in the air with Tails. That has helped me reached the top spot at Labyrinth Zone Act 1. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come close to it. As the scores look, it appears that I'm aiming to reach the top 10 of every act. I'm amazed that I've achieved this in two of the three acts in the Green Hill Zone, the most popular zone and first one to access.
Green Hill Act 1: 22.70 (#53)

Green Hill Act 3: 37.98 (#2), behind a cheater >:(

Scrap Brain Act 1: 38.86 (#5)
Scrap Brain Act 2: 51.50 (#9)
Scrap Brain Act 3: 23.68 (#12)
Final: Not bothering with this one, as I don't know the order which Eggman appears. I also hate the terrible music to this stage.
Overall, I'm really pleased to effectively prove that I'm a solid platform gamer. I also have records in Sonic 2 and Sonic CD, but for the former my positions aren't too impressive and the latter's leaderboard is broken.
