Sonic Trilogy Race #4 Rules

Sonic Trilogy Race #4 - May 27th, 4pm EDT

This is an All Emeralds race, so some of the rules have changed. Pay particular attention to #2.

Race Rules:
1) Play Sonic 1, Sonic 2, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles in order. Time begins on starting Sonic 1 and time ends when the screen fades to white at the end of the Doomsday Zone.
2) Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 end when both of the following conditions are met: the final stage has been completed and faded out, and you have all of the emeralds in that game. If you complete either Sonic 1 or 2 without collecting all the emeralds, you can watch the credits and start playing again in order to get any emeralds you missed, and switch games when the last one is collected.
3) In Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, you can choose to bring Tails partner with you or not at your discretion.
4) If you get stuck anywhere from which you can't escape, in Sonic 1 or 2 you can use the level select codes to get back to the stage you were at. In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, however, you will have to use the save function.
5) The race is going to be timed in real time, so it's within your rights to slow down before a signpost where it would be faster... but I intend to keep to a gentlemen's agreement where I don't slow down on purpose.
6) Otherwise speedrun.com rules for each individual game apply.

Good luck!
