This game has a run page on SDA!

This speed run strategy is only for the updated PC version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, because it has many gameplay differences opposing to the PS2 version, such as aiming, driving, flying, and liberty of movement.

Single-Segment any% run

There is a way to do a Single-Segment any% run of the game, that probably requires certain small delays in the most of missions to do it, but there are some new tricks to do it faster at the beginning without having to be dissapointed with the entire run at the end.

How to get out of Los Santos in less than 1:30

As everyone can see, at the end of the 5th segment of Daniel "CannibalK9" Burns' run, he went to Bad Lands in 1:30. Well, that one is a segmented speed run, but there is a way to do it a bit faster in a Single-Segment run. Here's a list of the missions to do to get in the bad lands before 1:30. In the most of the attempts there are a few delays because of the damage received in certain missions.

In the Beginning

This one is not a mission, but it's called "In the Beginning" because if you complete a side mission and get at least $10.000 you can buy a property and save your game, you discover that that's the real name of the mission 0 when arriving Los Santos. The route taken is almost the same, because the fastest way to get to Grove Street is by using the BMX near to CJ.

Big Smoke

This is the first mission, you will have to smash very fast the LSHIFT button to skip more quickly the cut-scenes, so you pick up the BMX at 9:05 AM (the game's time). Don't leave the bike, it's quite useful for a recently discovered new trick that makes you able to make Sweet go faster with his bike. To do it, you have to push him from behind using your BMX with the super-sprint. Be careful, if there is a car blocking the road, and you are still using the "Sweet's bike's trick" Sweet will delay, and the Balla car will be able to reach you and probably will make you mayor injuries because you can't avoid the shots while doing this trick. The crucial mistake that Daniel "CannibalK9" Burns made at the first segment of his run is that he stole the pink car and messed the bike trick, and what's more, he went too far away from Sweet, making him delay (Sweet is so stupid that he goes slowly with the bike when you go too far away, instead of going faster to get nearer to you). Sometimes, at the start of this mission, Sweet is behind Ryder, and that makes more difficult to achieve the bike trick, because you will need to slow down a bit for prevent Sweet from doing a mistake and make a mayor delay.
