Sonic Advance 3 - Egg Hammer Tank III in 0:58:43

Time attack of Egg Hammer Tank III, the boss of Route 99, in Sonic Advance 3, with Tails+Cream, in 0:58:43. Ran on the NA version, which lets me regain control after the boss flies off screen more quickly than JP/EU.

World Record at the time of this upload, which I randomly got in a full game All Stages speedrun attempt LOL. Bopped my previous time by 2 frames.

With this team, it's easy to get consistent first-frame hits on both Gemerl and the actual boss, so assuming you nail those, this IL ultimately comes down to optimizing the three spindashes for entering/exiting this fight, down to the frame.

As with most bosses in advance 3, you want to finish the boss with eggman as close to the right side of the screen as possible so he flies off more quickly, returning control to you earlier. This primarily applies to the NA version.
