I got to Act 2 before a Newtron flies to the right and I got 100 points.

Now I've just finally completed it.

I've made a video for this that is shorter but also goes into more detail and explains some of the mistakes that can be easily made. How can I submit it to be used for this achievement?

if it's a youtube or twitch clip I can embed it above, just let me know, either here or in a msg

Here is the youtube video below, it has text that walks the player through the safest steps to getting the achievement and gives warnings of easy mistakes that can be made etc, any issues let me know :)

Thanks for the video above - it really helped. Got it on my second try.

This was the hardest achievement for me...even harder than beating the game! Especially because I kept forgetting about...

- The time bonus
- Needing to keep an enemy around to get rid of my rings
- The points you get for jumping near the sign post at the end of the level
- The tube that launches you out if you don't hold the opposite direction and gives you the time bonus...

But in the end, I did it! I probably failed the most times on Act 1. Got through Act 3 on my first try (it helps that Robotnik can easily knock out your rings)

Got it in a few tries thanks to the video above! A fun challenge, not too tricky.

Hard part for me was waiting so you don't get the time bonus (When it hits 5 mins you can save and continue, will be 0/0/0)

Challenge clear!

very tideous tho not very hard, sure not hardest. Also in my opinion the video guide was very helpful although one part was not needed and was actually harder than it could be. Boss fight, I find it way easier to loose all rings at last spike or enemy, get invincibility and then not worry about how many times you hit eggman, or worry about eggman at all. But yeah, glad I got it finally, intresting but not best achievement of the set

Like others have said - not hard, but very tedious.

I'd prefer if it was a pacifist run. Having to lose your rings and wait at the goal sign until the timer passes 5 minutes doesn't add to the challenge. Sure - it takes seconds to get the timer above five minutes when you hit the fast forward key, but it still introduces waiting which isn't engaging and very much goes against Sonic's core conceit. The 9:59 achievement is novel, but considering this will likely take most people a few attempts - it gets old here.

Still - low score runs are novel concept; I don't think I care for it in Sonic because of how the game is structured, but I like the creativity. Nonetheless, the real meat of this is not hitting enemies. That's tedious in itself, but in an interesting way - you have to play very differently. Making sure I lose my rings and that I don't get a time bonus doesn't add anything; it detracts from the experience. If another revision gets made down the line, I'd vote for making this a pacifist run of Green Hill Zone.

Eh another time-wasting achievement. Sure you can fastforward it but like, if you have to resort to that to be respectful of people's time, calling this an achievement is a bit of a stretch. :/

A bit annoying at times but was a fun level memory challenge
