Sonic the Hedgehog 1 - Scrap Brain Zone Act 2 - no hit run, 100+ rings, both main routes

-Upper path: Start to 3:28
-Lower path: 3:28 to End

Yes, I'm YTing a video of a Sonic game, which would no doubt shock the Hyphy Movement, the Uni-Mind including trolls, the San Francisco Bay Area residents who prove that it doesn't deserve to be called the "Yay Area", the shallow girls who would say "wanna suck my pee" just to mock me, and the Oakland rioters. Truthfully, I have had misgivings about Sonic games in the past. Somehow, it never occured to me back when I was a kid to treat Sonic's speed as a method of pressing on an attack. Even though I already remark about chaingrabs' cheapness because they can abuse that very strategy. (Seriously, you can make the Ice Climbers genuinely good without their death grab and then your grabs can't be predicted simply because you're not needing to care if you can try to land one.) Being patient also lets you deal with the camera zoom too. Mercifully, it's better to fend off than Fog of War in Advance Wars, where you can't even see the standard speed value units before they hit you unless they're stupidly close. And the 10 minute time limit? Still plenty of time, and if stages are long, there's a good chance that you can get plenty of lives as well as find some checkpoints.

So yeah. Good game series, just watch out for the scary points of the difficulty. Also, happy birthday to MarioMastar, whose LP got me to play the game series. Although I didn't realize it was his birthday until Skype told me, blah. I was already handling this video and had recorded the upper path when Skype gave me the notification. Of course, he's not fond of Scrap Brain, but it's better than nothing.

Anyway, as to Scrap Brain Act 2, you can take either of two paths. Both are riddled with traps set up in a manner to punish you for rushing. I suspect from this that Robotnik is being Genre Savvy about his foe being a speedster, but too bad for him I'm Genre Savvy too. In fact, when I streamed the stage, taking the lower path, I took only two hits: one from a Bomb's deceptive SD range, the other because I tried to rush the pendulum ball & chain part at the end of the stage. As for the video, I show how to do the stage with the upper path and then with the lower path without gathering 50 rings before the 3rd tube, without taking any hits and instead gathering at least 100 rings both times. Note that if you take the lower path, the 3rd tube, if you enter it with at least 50 rings, will take you to a path that provides plenty of rings and a safe passage to the last leg of the stage, though if you do take it and follow the path, don't go any further up than necessary in the shaft, because there is nothing reachable except Ballhogs that are conveniently guarding narrow passages.

Also, if you take the 50 ring path, you may notice 5 boxes, providing a total of 40 Rings and a 1-Up. You get these from the lower path. Just get on the switch right past the 4 Bombs, then when the timer reads with the total time amounting to 6 seconds less than a multiple of 17 (2:27, 2:44, 3:01, 3:18, 3:35, etc.) run left and jump before you run off the platform. If you do it right, you'll jump right onto a platform that suddenly appears around that time. From there, you can simply jump up until you get to the ledge with the boxes. Enjoy. And please note that this is the only way you can manage above 100 rings without entering the tube with 50+ rings.
