This run is around half a second faster than a previous submission, https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/sonic_xs__november_24_2021.html. The improvement appears to mainly come from a route optimization that was pointed out in the previous verification.

With the current knowledge of the game mechanics and route options, this submission looks in my eyes pretty close to flawless. Oh and the recording is in 30fps this time, so that's a check as well.

Well done, accept!

Yeah, so I can confirm what ktwo said about the A/V and the route improvement. Also I noticed you get some kind of boost when the robot's green projectile hits you, which obviously saves more time as well.

Can't see obvious ways to make this more than frames faster.

Thanks, I appreciate your decision. And be on the look out for its spinoff "Shadow Xs" that I'm submitting after the verification due date is reached (due to only 1 submission being allowed per month)
