"only needed four shield changes" I think what might have happened is that the game counted "no shield" as a shield state, so the first shield obtained in that minigame counted as a shield change.

I think the "Level select blocks achievements" means you can't get others while the level select menu is available Probably because it's where you access debug mode which would make it way too easy for the other achievements

The reason you had to reset after activating level select is because the flag that says "level select is in use" is what blocks all the other achievements. That flag is what allows the menu to show the "SOUND TEST" option as well as enabling a few in-game features immediately (such as exiting the course from pause, as well as possibly the ability to advance one frame at a time), and the only way to kick the game back out of this state is to reset it entirely. Why this blocks them is simply that their check is summed up as "I'm earned if the player does this, unless the 'level select is on' flag is set".

It’s pretty bad how you suffered a little playing this game… I mean, when I first played Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Kunckles, I wanted to play as Kunckles. But I only did one Chaos Emerald since I’m a certified Classic Sonic Simulator player. I had to stop at Marble Garden Zone (Act 1) since I was stuck and can’t control the spiny things. So I delete my save file and started a Sonic & Tails playthrough. Everything went good so far, I got all the Chaos Emeralds at Carnival Night Zone. But until Mushroom Hill Zone (Act 2)… I had to suffer getting the Super Emeralds. And straight until Sandopoils Zone (Act 2)… I had to SUFFER 8 minutes, being crushed, annoyed by ghosts, and forced to push things. Then I deleted that save file and did it again until I got good. Everything went SUPER well. I got all the emeralds and finished Sandopoils Zone. But straight until the Death Egg Robot boss, I had to suffer again. But until that, I defeated him and beat the game. Two Fun Facts: I can get all the Chaos Emeralds before Marble Garden Zone, and all the Super Emeralds before Flying Battery. Oh, and also the same thing happened when playing as Tails, expect for the Death Egg Robot.

Ok, so I went and checked it because I knew it wasn't 100% consistent because I've never even heard of it before, that physics issue in the Desert Palace loop only happens if you change from a running state to a rolling state at a certain point in the loop. Without doing that, I can't make it happen at all, and even then, it's fairly specific when you have to press down for it to happen. If you don't press down at all, and just run through the loop instead, beating the time of 40'00"00 is fairly easy, with the only other jank (of the slope nuking your speed depending on how you land on it) being possible to mitigate by running slightly on to the slope (enough to go behind the foreground pillar) and then jumping over the rest of it.

"Sonic 3 cheevs" Oh nice! "Knuckles section" Oh. Bit of a clarification here: Sonic 3 has cheevs, S&K has cheevs, and the combined S3&K has cheevs. It would seem that this is _only_ the S3&K set. Though, if you really want to be pedantic, there's also Sonic 3 Complete cheevs and Sonic 3 AIR cheevs, which are also playthroughs of S3&K... not to mention Sonic 40mb Delta, which is a playthrough of the entire trilogy plus scrapped zones in one shot. That's a lot of OG trilogy, and I'm nowhere near done with all that myself! Of course, the last one also has a Bonus subset that is essentially "Revenge of the Deathless", where every Zone has damageless cheevs and every character has deathless cheevs (remember, this is ALL OF THE GAMES back to back plus interest!).
