I finally beat the final rush speedrun! With 1 second left!

I know that level so well now XD.

Then, I unlocked hard mode.

Seriously, that hard mode is too hard.

THEY EVEN REMOVED SOME CHECKPOINTS!!!

And they added so many enemies on the grind rails to knock you off, the beginning took me about 15 tries!

But the rest of the level I didn't find too difficult. Actually, I thought from the beginning that the level was going to be incredibly difficult, but it actually it was quite easy. Idk if that's just me having played through that level way too many times in speedrun attempts.

But the Green Forest and City Escape hard modes were harder I think. The end of Green Forest took me a lot of tries, and I only beat City Escape by glitching the game (I got to the bit where you have to use light dash in midair, but I just super bounced across instead as for some reason I couldn't use the light dash).

I only have the Crazy Gadget speedrun/hard mode left out of Sonic's missions (do they count Cannon's Core as a Sonic level?). And only Final Chase speedrun/hard mode out of Shadow's missions.

Is it just me or are Final Rush/Final Chase the most glitchy levels in the game? I mean, you can pretty much skip half the level on Final Rush by jumping off the grind rails (I can't do it but have seen YouTubers do it) and Final Chase.... well, those anti-gravity cylinders. Also the bad camera angles. I really don't like those levels. But the graphics are great.
