INTERESTING CHALLENGES

* Complete Green Hill in less than 20"
* Complete SRB2 Town in less than 40"
* Complete 1st Boss in less than 20"

You'll not win nothing if you complete
them, but if you're able to perform them,
then consider you a god of Sonic Action.
Seriously, the first two I was able to
perform only one time. I wasn't able to
perform the third yet, but it's possible
(I made 20" as record, so I was NEAR: less
than one second, and I must admit that I've
lost some vital fraction of seconds in it).
