Sonic The Hedgehog

Now is the perfect time to utilize the SAVE cheat. You must beat the game in under 40 minutes. It sounds a little hard, but it's really not.

These are the major tips to remember:
-Avoid trying to get emeralds
-SAVE before every Act, reload if you die
-Use the invulnerability technique to keep moving

I got this trophy by overly using the save cheat. I would save before every act and save 2-8 times during the act at spots where I had trouble moving fast at (and had to restart the act). Really utilize the SAVE function.

I have replayed the game and listed my times. These are the times you should try to aim for. It lists the acts, game time, and saved data time (taken at the beginning of the next act).

The time that you need for this trophy is based off the combined level clocks, not the time it says on your saved data file!

I purposely took a long time on Scrap Zone Act 3 to prove it.
