Splash Hill 3 (0'39"40): Around when I got the game, my initial impression of this level was that it was a horrible level full of automation. TAing it and learning it has made me appreciate it a bit more, because this level is absolutely full of little secrets and alternate paths; for example, the breakable wall next to the ring box that I had no idea existed until I found it by accident, which was convenient because I could not figure out a consistent and fast way to take the upper path. Another note is the little ramp right at the beginning which throws me to the right rather than straight up. I believe the reason this happens is sometimes if you go up the ramp fast enough then Sonic will run off it before his sprite finishes rotating counter-clockwise, causing him to run off at an angle. It's weird. The only improvement I know of is I should've homing attacked the spring at the end. Good otherwise, it's a fun level and this run is one of my favorites from the IL set.
