Use the rising start for as much air as you can, and glide to the top of Church Mountain. Get 1 ring and run into the ghost here for an intentional hit. This makes the Back ring appear at the start of the level. Go back and get the other 5 rings on the orange ledge. Dive down and to the left to get the 10 balloon that's in the air above a low ledge of the mountain, then get another 10 balloon that's in front of the start and the 20 that's behind it. Tag the Back ring to keep your 45 and make all rings regenerate.

On the second trip, head backward and get the 20 again, then go forward to the 10 for 75. Turn right at the fork, and follow the thin connector path to get 5 more rings. Take the rocket up to Ghost Train Mountain. You'll see a balloon; glide to it and another balloon will appear, so repeat this process. It continues for 4 balloons, each of which has 5 rings to get to 100 total.

Here's a short one. Use the rising start for as much air as you can, and glide toward the rocket at the top of Ghost Train Mountain. You should be able to reach it without climbing anything. Once the rocket disappears, immediately glide ahead and you'll see a floating platform in the sky. You can hit the side of it, so do that (being sure to [[SA2 terminology|quick climb]] and [[SA2 terminology|ledge jump]] as always) and punch once at the top to accelerate to full speed. Then run forward through more floating platforms and tag tyhe Chao at the end.

TODO - possibly describe the new strat that can take over 8 seconds off the existing record, if it ever gets pulled off

Note: There's a new strategy in development that could potentially cut 9 seconds off the existing record here, but as of now it's believed that there's barely not enough time to pull it off.
