	The above technique is essential for optimizing in-game time since the clock is stopped before the scripted sequence where Sonic hops on the snowboard, but since that's where Sonic starts from if the stage is reset or if Sonic dies, it's imperative to land (lest you hit a kill plane). That is to say, you only get one chance to do this since death places Sonic on the snowboard automatically.

		+	Chaos 4's behavior is particularly erratic, making him a major foil for full runs. His pattern can be slightly manipulated into making himself vulnerable by keeping Sonic in the air near to where he is. (Knuckles and Tails' ability to stay in the air longer means they will have an easier time with this, but the strategy works for all 3 characters.)

+During the long cinematic run down a building start rolling. Now you can just go through fences! In the Dreamcast versions this is a little harder and you have to use the right parts of fences, otherwise Sonic will stop spinning or even get hit. It's also recommended to hit the speed shoes, which are on the middle-right section of the stage (shift over to the row of windows to the right of where Sonic is to hit them) to make the segment a little faster. Note that while the fences can be rolled through without much difficulty, this is ''not'' true for the other stage hazards.
 In the last section of the level where it's daylight run up the ramp/wall on the right at the beginning and use it to get on top of the building. On the right there is an upper walkway which has a slope on part of it, and on the left there is a building with a curved roof. Spindash-jump from the walkway's ramp to the curved roof, and from there spindash-jump forward towards the goal. Sonic will still go through the top parts of the building with no roof if you go too low to clear them entirely. Try to land in the fountain which will place Sonic at the ending pod.

		+	Since the acceleration of the karts in the first segment are controlled by Sonic's ring count, it's important to collect rings before starting a single-segment run; the best place to do this is with the ring trail leading toward the entrance to Casinopolis; your ring count will ''not'' be set to zero on stage entrance. Be careful not to take a hit at the start of the level!

 (DX only) In the third area before going through the wooden barrier to ride the snowboard, you can go through a specific spot in the wall to the left. The spot is the second or third "angle" away from the barrier, and when standing facing it Sonic's right foot should be on or near a particularly long line in the floor texture. Line it up and lock the camera, then just hold all the way forward. If Sonic is clipping into the wall you are doing it correctly, just keep running at it full strength and eventually Sonic will phase through the wall and fall. Fall a little left and forward for best results. Rotate the camera a bit so you can see the geometry load pop in and position landing.
-Then you're in the Snowboard section on foot which is just awesome. This technique is essential for optimizing in-game time since the clock is stopped before the scripted sequence where Sonic hops on the snowboard -- but since that's where Sonic starts from if the stage is reset or if Sonic dies, it's imperative to land (lest you hit a kill plane).

 For the last rocket which is right next to its button, hold left after grabbing onto it. After crossing the bridge when you first run down the track, fall off the edge right when the stone pillar in the background comes into view. It appears earlier in Dreamcast versions. Then hug the stone pillar and you can fall right on the ledge where the entrance to the second section is. It is easy after a little practice.
+In the second section (underground), the lava level rises according to where Sonic is in certain portions of the level. Accordingly, by reaching some of the lava triggers early it's possible to skip through most of the level. Since the floating platforms tilt as you stand on them, they make for excellent locations to perform dash-jumps; it's possible to jump up from the first set of platforms to a small overhang, and from there do another spin dash heading backwards to ward a spring that jets Sonic toward the last part of the level. This cuts out almost all of this section of the stage and is fairly low-risk to perform. There are some other slopes in the level geometry near these platforms from which this can be attempted, but it's trickier since the lava can cover them up (the platform positions are always fixed to float on the lava)
