Description

Sonic Mania completed with the Bad Ending, which involves getting all chaos emeralds and completing the extra Egg Reverie boss.

This run really sucks (especially the trainwreck that was Titanic Monarch 1) so I hope to improve this soon; I'm not too big a fan of the category though, since it takes a lot longer to get runs started thanks to all the emerald stages at the beginning.

This was done on V1.03, the latest version at the time of upload. I'd rather do runs on the original version, but unfortunately the vast majority of people don't have access to it, so for the sake of competition I used the latest version. Differences on V1.03 that apply to this run include:
+ A "Super Sonic button" was added, so you can control when to transform instead of it overriding the drop dash. Notably it also means you can transform while you have a shield.
- In emerald stages, the UFO will greatly speed up if you approach it while Mach 1; if you're fast enough then it doesn't matter as you'll catch the UFO before it can speed up, but this makes mistakes a lot more potentially costly.
+ Green Hill 1 ends earlier if you kill both heads close together.
- You can no longer jump into and walk through the pipe in part of Chemical Plant 2.
- You can no longer do a lightning shield jump over the ceiling in part of Studiopolis 1.
- You can't skip the Studiopolis 1 boss. This SUCKS and costs like twice as much time as every other difference combined. It's an absolutely horrible boss too, there's not really anything you can do to speed it up on your own, it completely depends on luck (AFAIK it doesn't matter when you hit the missiles as hitting them earlier just makes them take longer to hit the boss).
= The glitch in Studiopolis 2 works differently, the level becomes solid again as soon as you jump, and you have to land further to the left on the curved pipe to start it. This was originally fixed on an earlier patch, but then somehow added back in in the current patch... I would expect it to get removed again if there's another patch in the future.
- You can't skip the Press Garden 2 boss.
- You can't fly over the mini robot Sonic section of the Metal Sonic fight. Annoying since it's another heavily luck-based section that's draining your Super Sonic rings.
- It's a bit harder to jump through a slope at one point in Hydrocity 2, you have to jump through it higher up.
- You can't do the glitch at the start of Oil Ocean 2 that makes the stage not solid.

This was done on PC, as I don't want to patch the game on my Switch and this is my only alternative. Timing starts at selecting the file and ends on the final hit against Egg Reverie.

I'm a woman, by the way. The reason I say this is because a lot of commenters assume everyone is male unless you specifically tell them otherwise, and I would rather they did not, so here I am specifically telling them otherwise.
