Did anyone know about this?
So I opened up a new save file with new game plus and try to get into Giganto’s Arena as soon as I finished portal 1-2. I was able to pull it off with the hyper bounce on challenge M – 022. Took me about 19 minutes and 34 seconds from creation of new game+ save to beat Giganto (not much of a speed runner)
I beat giganto then collected the chaos emeralds on Kronos island and then found out that this marked the chaos emerald collection on Ares Island (if I collect the chaos emeralds of a certain color on Kronos Island after beating giganto, it’s marked collected on Ares Island), though the emeralds in the vaults on Ares of the same color remain there.
I only collected one of the Ares island chaos emeralds (the yellow one) but I was able to collect the blue red and white from Kronos island and when I went back to Aries Island, I immediately got a cut scene (Eggman discussing with Sage about his worthy opponent relationship with sonic) and an auto save prior to the cut scene.
I wonder if this can be integrated into an any percent speed run?
