Sonic 4: Episode 2 IL guide

**Hey guys! It’s dez again, back with another guide! Today we take on ~~the living hell~~ something called ILs!**

IL stands for Individual Level. Personally, it is my most favorite thing in any game on sr.c (that is, if it has a level leaderboard). In fact, I prefer them over full game runs.
ILs can be classified as an NG+ category (as in, you have things like Submarine Combo and Rolling Combo before act 2 and act 3, respectively) because you have access to everything in the game.

Anyways, let us get to the guide!

[section=Sylvania Castle]
**Act 1**
**Sonic**
Do the level like normal, then before this dash panel, Copter Combo up to this Super Ring. When you get to it, Rolling Combo and jump over a spring, then jump over another spring and bounce on some springs. Stay in Rolling Combo and jump at a specific part on this slope, but don’t do it too low, or else you won’t jump off it. You should get a Red Star Ring, and you can choose to do want you want after the dash panel. Get a Super Sneakers, and you’re done.

[Previous record](https://www.speedrun.com/s4e2/run/y21x90jz) was 43.93s by [HyperSonic7701](https://www.speedrun.com/user/HyperSonic7701)
My PB is 49s (I suck, right?)

**Super Sonic**
See “Sonic” for the first part.
Now this part is whatevs. In Rolling Combo, (a) jump over the diagonal spring (like in the “Sonic” runs) or (b) get it and Copter Combo. Either way, get to the platform higher up and transform into Super Sonic. Do a spin dash to air dash and jump, then air dash. You should get a Red Star Ring. You can either take Sonic’s route, or you can take the middle route. More explanation in the second video.

**Act 2**
**Sonic**
Do the level as normal and make a jump after the second curve. When you land in the water, Submarine Combo. Take the upper route after this blue Chopper. Get a spring, air dash to a platform, and Rolling Combo. After skimming across the water, get a spring and make two jumps, then make one more jump to this Super Ring. Stay in Rolling Combo, and when you reach the third spring, get out of Rolling Combo. Do the tag flying as normal and you’re done.
