Sonic Chaos Speedrun Tutorial

When I started speedrunning (which I started with this game), I was looking for something to explain to me how this game works, but couldn't really find anything comprehensive. In this tutorial I try to touch on everything I have learned since then relevant for speedrunning this game.

Some runs I reference during the tutorial...
Chrezm's Tails WR run (for Tails' routes):
