So, somewhere between July 25th and August 4th, (probably between July 28th and August 2nd to be more specific) I found a Boss Skip by accident. I was playing Sylvania Castle Zone Boss, and I started a Rolling Combo, which, instead of getting cancelled at a certain point like normal, continued all the way to the Capsule. As it turns out, if you initiate a Rolling Combo with the right timing, you can just Roll to the end. I assume that whatever it is that cancels the Rolling Combo is placed just slightly before whatever it is that locks the screen and temporarily removes control of Sonic, though it's possible that that's not the case, and that you simply have a small window of time before the Game actually removes control. I try to time it by starting the Rolling Combo about halfway between a set of trees in the background right after passing the last set of 3 Rings in the first section. Doing this Boss Skip saves over a minute. Since this does Skip pretty much the entire Level, I assume that it would be separate from the normal Sonic Category for the Stage, and possibly from the existing Full Game Categories as well. I did also try this in White Park Zone Boss, but it looks like it doesn't work there, probably since that Level is a bit different.

whoa, that is pretty sick. never seen that before. gonna use this to see the absolute maximum time bonus
