Introduction
The Hero Story speedrun category of Sonic Adventure 2 entails completing all 16 stages and defeating all 8 bosses that embody Sonic, Tails and Knuckles' storyline prior to the Last Story. The 16 stages are broken down into 6 action stages (Sonic), 4 mech stages (Tails), 5 hunting stages (Knuckles) and one driving stage involving Tails.
Real-time attacks (RTA) are timed from the selection of Hero Story in the main menu to the final hit on Shadow 2. Traditionally Sonic games have been timed through their in-game timers and as such an accumulation of the individual level times in your speedrun can equate towards an in-game time (IGT) for that run. Although an universal in-game timer exists in the Emblem List, adding the times yourself provides definite accuracy for IGTs.
The current record is 36:05.29(RTA)/24:52.24(IGT) by Talon2461.
