This is a whopping 13 second time save compared to what Knuckles had to do previously.
If you have Knuckles pan the screen down and jump, you can perform a screen wrap. If Knuckles is standing on an object once the screenwrap triggers, he gets to a glitched state we call Slope Glitch. You can use this to clip into floors by walking down a slope, which can cause zips. You can also float in mid air.
So you have Knuckles jump and glide at a precise point so he lands back on the platform once the screenwrap starts, thus enabling Slope Glitch.
The boss fight is where things are interesting. In order to optimize this fight, you must hold jump to gain height after the bounce, but then let go of jump so you dont go as high, which would be slow to fall back down to get Robotnik. Theres a big problem with this, pressing jump in midair makes Knuckles glide, which would make bouncing impossible, thus ruining the boss strat.
So what we have to do is bounce off Robotnik, let go of jump, then intentionally pause the game. During the pause, you would press and hold jump again and unpause, rinse and repeat. That way, you can continuously get good bounces off the boss without ever gliding. This is why I pause after every hit except the last.
