dreamsyntax | Shadow the Hedgehog (Wii) - Golden Beetle% (Glitchless) - 17:05.68 IGT | 21:09.26 RTA @dreamsyntax | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Timing starts when the first stage is picked and the fade screen activates.
Any stage order is allowed so long as the Gold Beetle is destroyed in all 11 stages it exists in. IGT ends in a stage when the beetle is destroyed.
A destroyed beetle is measured by the dark score increasing by 1000. The beetle's death animation does not need to finish, nor does the dark gauge need to finish the increase animation.
I did not get the exact IGTs in each stage except the final one, rather I went by the time when I paused after a gold beetle is destroyed. In most cases the difference is ~0.08 - 0.28. it seems unnecessary to get the exact frames unless a competing run has similar times.

Human TAS of Any% with Glyphic Canyon and Sky Troops warps.
Human/Lazy TAS (Tool assisted speedrun) means Dolphin with savestates but no frame perfect advances. This is much quicker than making a real TAS as this is not done frame-by-frame but instead uses savestates to quickly retry difficult sections. This also makes it so the record shown is possible by a human on console. The savestate changes are removed in editing but you may be able to hear some audio distortion when a save/load occurred, this is not removed on purpose.
