Showing how to get the emerald fast in Special Stage 3 of "Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)" for the Genesis.
Apparently, some people do not have the patience for this Special Stage. It seems some people would rather get the emerald fast than worry about getting a continue or an extra life. So here is how to do it.
How to get the emerald fast:
Just as the Special Stage starts, immediately hold Left on the D-Pad. You should land on the Down block. Continue holding Left (not too long) until you land on the Reverse block at the left. Then hold or tap Right on the D-Pad to make sure you get stopped by the Reverse block at the right. You should then land on the Color blocks next to the Jump Stand blocks. Touch the Color blocks without getting greedy. You should then begin to slip. When that happens, touch the Reverse block at the left along with the Bumper block. You should get repelled back on the Jump Stand blocks. Finally, touch the Color blocks, and the emerald will be collected.
This is the fastest route I can come up. I am not a speedrunner.
You can call this a tutorial on speedrunning if you want, but I only uploaded it for people who want to get the emerald without 'problems'.
----------
NOTE: This strategy is consistent. It will work every time, as long as one is skilled enough.

NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Crab patterns:
After the story cutscene, the crab pattern starts. It depends on how fast or slow the levels are cleared along with text skipping. The more one speedruns this category, the more the speedrunner will see some fishing patterns. Regardless, the RNG is still involved in them. In a casual playthrough, it can be random whether the crab shows up or not.
Funkys Fishing 6:
If the crab didnt appear in the previous mini-game, then waiting to catch it here will be forced. Depending on the RNG here, time can either be saved or lost.
After Funkys Fishing 6:
Upon completing Funkys Fishing 6, the Rambi Token is collected. Getting the last Rambi Token here is the best time. Its faster than getting it in Temple Tempest.
Rambi Bonus:
Collecting 600 tokens in order to get a picture is required to get 101%.
Be sure to go to Cranky afterwards.
In order to get 101% in the Game Boy Advance version, every Bonus Room has to be found. Not only that, but every picture (as well as the K-O-N-G letters) has to be collected.")

NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Rambi the Rhino:
Rambi is significantly slower in the GBA version than he was in the SFC version. But he is required to get 101%. And to do that, he needs to ram into Krusha in order to get a picture. Since Rambi is significantly slower, losing him multiple times is faster. The reason why is because it makes him speed up, and it makes going through the level faster with the speed of Diddy. After ramming into Krusha, Rambi is immediately dismounted.
After Bonus Room #1:
Going through 3 moving Mincers in a circle by cartwheeling is safer. Its possible to jump through those Mincers after cartwheeling, but its just too risky.
After letter N:
Jumping on Krusha, turning left, and being sent to the right is faster. Its possible to jump over Krusha, but its frame perfect.
Bonus Room #2 approaching:
After cartwheeling through a set of 3 Gnawtys, its possible to one-cycle the fast moving Mincer by cartwheeling immediately.
Bonus Room #2:
In the SFC version, going into this area with the letter G in it wasnt required to get 101%. But in the GBA version, going into this area is required to get 101%. This area is very nasty when it comes to getting the letter G.
In order to get 101% in the Game Boy Advance version, every Bonus Room has to be found. Not only that, but every picture (as well as the K-O-N-G letters) has to be collected.")
