    "under 25 seconds" I got it at 25 seconds, intentional?

    I found it too hard for me to execute fair run on EH1. I just cannot jump up to invincibility monitor, not even close. However, it is also doable using zip-glitch on Metro 2. I regret nothing. :)

    Took me quite a few tries in EH1, maintaining the momentum from jumping onto the speed shoes monitor and then precisely landing on the invincibility monitor was tricky

    Am I the only one who thinks that this achievement actually should deserve more points? Like 20?

    No I agree, speed running achieves MUST be placed under a sub-set! Just hammered this for 30 mins straight and it requires absolute flawless perfection, it just won't unlock for me. (Using 1 jump, 2 jumps, get speed shoes, stopped by invincible box at lower area, monkey to avoid, through and UP through the gap to reach final area and then jump during the loop de loop to avoid that last bumper)

    Honestly pretty easy on EH1, took maybe 10 minutes of attempts after watching a speedrun tutorial. Trick is to go into a roll as late as possible on the slope after the speed shoes and then just hold right

    25 seconds is too tight
    Moshe613 14 Jun 2024 01:46
    This is insane, miss once and you restart the game
    Alexdatadestroyer 14 Jun 2024 01:54
    No. Its not insane. Make sure to study the path before making attempts to win the achievement in Emerald Hill Zone 1

    Thanks to this I learned to skip Metropolis 2 by using the zip-glitch :)

    (Unlocked) Honestly? It's pretty satisfying, it may look unecessary, but trust me. You don't need to be a speedrunner to unlock this cheevo

    Hint: Spindash at the start and focus on gaining momentum, it will be useful when you get to the speed-shoes monitor, when you smash it, do NOT spindash to the ramp you see in front of you, run to it and when you get to the top of it, press down to curl up to ball and hit the invunerability monitor on top of a loop, then just keep your finger at the right key and behold! You got a flying hedgehog! (It's easier said than done, i recommend you watch a speedrun first)
