    The best place to cheese this one out if you don't have it already is Sandopolis Zone Act 1 - tyt in the zone and knock the rock boss back until one more hit can sink him in the sand,step back. Wait until timer says 9:56, walk forward and go for it.

    As for me Carnival Night Act 2 with Knuckles - a more convenient option. Level without the boss and ends with the opening of the capsule (but the jump to press the button is approximately at 9:57 - time stops with a slight delay).

    inst hard ... use a test boss in first area and count 9:50 and strike 5 in that robot and good luck xdd.

    just go to angel island act 1, hit the boss 5 times and stay on the middle of the arena (with a fire shield) and wait til it gets around 9:55 and hit him in the 9:59 time mark.
    The time stops after you beat the boss and the goal plate spawns above you

    Yeah, the Angel Island Act 1 boss is easiest. Just hit it 5 times, then stand in the middle and use emulator fast forward to wait until the time is nearly up. Also, there's a lightning shield on top of one of the 2 loops just before the final boss, that can help to make it easier to hit the boss at the top of the screen if you need to.
