Speedrun of Starlight Carnival Act 5 as Sonic in Sonic Colours: Ultimate
Shoutouts to the sounds of Dakitteh cooking in the background, the prospect of dinner got me through this hellish grind. Aside from the 40s of boring intro, Ultimate gave me the following things to worry about:
- While spamming Hover's light dash to reduce meter drain still works, it is half as effective and in Wii. Turns out the mechanic (like many things in this game) is effected by framerate and the increase to 60fps made this stage a lot harder.
- The original strats for the first hover wisp are technically still possible, but far better mashers than I have tried and only barely managed to get it, so now I have to do some platforming to make up for the height.
- The Hover mash in the final section I can barely still do, but is hard enough to make me never want to grind this IL again lmao.

![Sonic Heroes - Super Hard Mode LTS Speedrun - 51:33 [Loadless]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cfmLB0HH3ak/mqdefault.jpg "Sonic Heroes - Super Hard Mode LTS Speedrun - 51:33 [Loadless]
Single Segment speedrun of Super Hard Mode in Sonic Heroes, following the ruleset of Limited Tech Selection to restrict what glitches Im allowed to use. Loadless timing is the main comparison for this category, though I also included real time in the timer layout.
First weekend running this category and definitely off to a good start! Goal for the time being is sub 50 loadless and then well see where we go from there. Definitely enjoying it a lot though, this category slaps.
The following tricks and glitches are prohibited:
- Bop Boost (accidental bop boost states are fine, taking advantage of them is not)
- Bingo Highway Skip
- Pinball Table Launching
- Mystic Mansion Trials Skip

Got 3 PBs this stream, this was the fastest of em :) good improvement, but still plenty to work on, both in terms of consistency for existing strats and implementing strats I havent gotten around to yet.
