This has been my main Sonic project for a while, and I'm definitely happy enough with this run to say that I'm 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 can't 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 weren't too major.

My glitchless ruleset: 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).
