Hello all!

I'm looking to get into speedrunning this game & had a couple questions. I've posted a couple videos showcasing some IL speedruns w/ more intended routes than in any% (no major skips for now. I will definitely enjoy learning any% sonic story later). Is there an ideal category for this, or could this be a potential category? Would anyone else be interested in speedrunning the game in this way?

I have a couple good videos showcasing this type of routing (all intended shortcuts, no major skips) for Speed Highway & Red Mountain. I'm sure it's not as impressive as what you legends have seen/done but I would appreciate hearing what you think. I'm mainly starting by having fun with these videos as I learn the game & show off the awesome OG graphics & hardcore level of play. The game design is awesome & hopefully playing the game in this way will bring back memories for casuals who may remember these levels & not experienced the OG visuals.
