How to unlock the Fast Marble achievement in Sonic the Hedgehog - Definitive Guide

This achievement is a little tougher than the 'Fast Green' Trophy, but still more than doable.

Firstly, save at the beginning of the Act, and then proceed to use another save slot whenever you feel you had a good section, reloading if it went wrong. My fastest time has been around the 1:06 mark (66 seconds) so you do have a little room for errors.

Just keep at it, and maybe keep that save to come back to this if you feel it is beginning to frustrate you.

This speedrun-style achievement functions in the same way as "Fast Green". However, this one is a little different because the level is longer and there are a handful of parts that involve a little bit of impatient waiting. Again, it is recommended to get a mental map of the level and know to expect traps and hang-ups ahead of time.

This one will also take a few tries. I recommend using the save system cheat for this trophy. Divide the act into sections of 20 seconds and save. Have an individual save file for starting at the beginning of the act and have a different save file for doing the 20 second trick. That way if you don't beat the act in less than 80 seconds, you have the save file to start at the beginning again. Anyways try to go fast and avoid slowing down. Once you get to 20 seconds, pause and save. Then go back and pick up where you left off. This is one method.

Another method is to just try and get through the whole act at once. It's not that difficult. Sonic becomes temporarily invulnerable if hit by an enemy, touching lava, or hitting a spike. He will lose all his rings once hit and become invulnerable. Quickly grab at least one ring and continue moving. This comes in handy when coming to the lava part. You can just jump, land in the lava, and take advantage of that temporary invulnerability. Just make sure you grab at least one ring or else Sonic will get killed if he takes any further damage.
