I found a way up on GFZ1...

[Blaze The Cat]

The water Crawla finally has his time in fame.

 

[glaber]

well that's one way, but I believe it's also possible to get there from Red XVI's House too.

 

[clairebun]

Crawla bouncing should work, since you gain a little more height with each successive bounce.

 

[MosaicMario]

Like that?

 

[glaber]

Yep, that's it exactly.

 

[MK.exe]

Yep, that's it exactly.

Though this method takes more time to do

It is not. You have to lure the crawler out of the cave to the mini-waterfall first and this takes some time (about one minute), while I got up there in a little more than 30 seconds. And I was not even hurrying, just playing normal.

 

[Kitoko]

No way... Classic way the best way :B

I did this since 1.09.4 and I never did otherwise!

 

[Chimes]

I dunno, the new method is easier IMO.

 

[MosaicMario]

I still think that this is the easiest way, also for 1.09.4 in my opinion:

 

[Joosp]

are we all ignoring the coolness of abusing water physics and enemy placement to get to an area not normally accessible without taking the long way around; i seriously would've never thought of that

If you'd see me playing with Sylveon you'd know that I love abusing water physics. I do it all the time with that character and thats why I love that one so much. Anyways, yeah I couldn't think of that one possibility too. It's cool but it takes a while to get that Crawler into the right position. And this is probably the reason why we usually don't think of those things.

i can finally understand GFZ1's level design

 

[Mystic]

This isn't a glitch. We intentionally replicate a quirk of classic Sonic's water physics that makes bouncing out of it extremely effective. This is why springs are so much more powerful underwater as well.

 

[CowboyJoseph64]

I guess that's why the under powered blue springs are a thing, so that when you use them under water, they're equivalent to a yellow one, instead of using an ACTUAL yellow one and rocketing into space.

 

[arkman]

could someone with more skill than me use this trick to get the high emblem with sonic?

You mean this emblem with Sonic?
Sorry for the bad quality but I wanted to have my upload to be done quick.

 

[Drflash55]

Someone should actually make a video of all the ways you can get onto the hill...

From the easiest way being from Red's house, to hardest one with Crawla bouncing... Could totally make a collab out of it, and it'd be sweet, IMO.
