Sonic 2 - Metropolis Act 2 in

Practice for the Sonic 2 Glitchless Tournament hosted over at Global Speedrun Association on October 21st.
Pain in the ass to optimize. The cogs in this level are on global cycles, so they are in motion as soon as the level starts, so roughly around 0:18 IGT seconds in, the jump off that cog is pretty annoying to get down consistently as the tips of the cog aren't always on the same spots due to when you arrive there. Then just after that, there's a section where you climb up moving platforms where it's extremely tight to make the landing on the top platform. You need to minimize your jumps as much as possible so you don't waste precious frames in the air. The rest is just tight movement to secure the 0:52.
You can technically get a 0:51 with cleaner play and an optimal ending with the yellow triangles, but it's tricky to do and this satisfies me enough.

You managed to make metropolis zone look fun... HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE METROPOLIS LOOK FUN!?!??!?

[@Sigurn27]

Really good! As much as I enjoy the glitches utilised in Sonic runs, it's really satisfying seeing acts cleared as cleanly as this.
