So the observant amongst you will know that the first stage of Gens 3DS is GHZ1, and as a classic stage, obviously that makes no sense to do. GHZ2 is straight up impossible, as the scripted falling totem section at the end of the stage requires you to boost, so I'll do both Water Palace 2 AND Tropical Resort 2 from this game instead.

Colors DS:
Pretty tight movement, and even then, I still fail to get an S-Rank, as the hang glider at the end of the stage just wastes so much time. An S-Rank with no boost is possible (see: youtube.com/watch?v=zm4J7kb7A_M , doesn't get S-Rank, but has a high enough time bonus to do so), I'm just not nearly good enough to pull this off, my high score in this stage w/o boost is only 76.5k.

Generations 3DS (#1):
Comparatively easy against Tropical Resort 1. The enemy bounce into jumpdash at 3:12 to get enough distance to land on a floating platform and the slight deceleration at 3:21 to land on another floating platform are the most difficult bits. Still not difficult.
