Welcome to season 2 of Who wants to be a Millionaire: Knuckles edition!
This one is nowhere near as easy as LB1, but it's about as effective. In Mushroom Hill, the Madmole enemies respawn when you go off camera. And because combos do not break when you grab the cranes, you can relatively easily get a massive combo going, especially with Knuckles. By simply supergliding off the enemy for enough height, going off camera enough to trigger to respawn and coming back to the crane, you can repeat killing the enemy for as long as you want.
The difficult part about this is threefold: One, not losing your concentration while doing the combo. It's easy to do the superglide once, but you have to do it over and over for 9 minutes without messing up. Can easily have a lapse.
Two: Comboing the enemies outside of the Madmole. I start with 2 Butterdriods before I get to the Madmoles, and then after the combo I extend it to 3 enemies afterwards. The extension, especially, is actually quite tricky, but worth it enough that I had to map it out and throw it in.
Three: Speed. You obviously want as much time as possible for the combo, which means you have to do the rest of the stage as fast as possible. I almost panicked when I messed up near the end of the stage in this run, but I had just barely enough time to finish.
Note: The score is adjusted, as the 100,000 Time Bonus is not allowed in score attacks of this game, as it makes the time bonus factor uncompetitive. As such, I am only allowed 100 points of the time bonus. You are also only allowed 100 points from hitting the signpost, otherwise you could spam it forever. Because I hit it three times, I have to subtract another 200 points. Meaning a total of 100,100 has to be subtracted to get the final score.
This beats the previous record of 1,067,600 by 118,300 points.

Great improvement here! And redemption after that Drapion non-finish from a while ago.
Honestly didnt even get amazing drafts in the back half at all where they typically matter the most, but just managed to get opponents with even worse mons.

![Sonic CD - All Time Stones Glitchless Speedrun (100%) in 26:48 [Current Record]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cwsyqGXnThQ/mqdefault.jpg "Sonic CD - All Time Stones Glitchless Speedrun (100%) in 26:48 [Current Record]
This has been my main Sonic project for a while, and Im definitely happy enough with this run to say that Im done.
I had never tackled either Glitchless or All Time Stones in this game before, but together they became far more compelling than apart. The routing and learning the stages in new ways was really fun, and some stages become quite challenging. For example, the very first stage becomes one of the hardest strats in the run, purely because getting 50 rings in quick time means you cant miss a single one, as there are only 50 you can get without slowing down significantly.
A 26 was my end goal, so this will definitely do. I did miss a few of the small optimisations, but I got all the big important stuff, so the time losses werent too major.
My glitchless ruleset: https://pastebin.com/GMfkL7uu
Tl;dr: Everything is banned, even if slightly marginal.
Because I am using my own personal, and stricter ruleset for glitchless and not any community one, it would be silly to refer to this as a World Record, but it is still the best time.
This run is timed in Real Time, as the routing elements of when to get Time Stones make the Time Bonus relevant (Unlike in any% runs where going slower to get a lower time bonus is silly, in this case it is routing and should not be ignored).
