This wrap for some reason I just decided was impossible when I first saw it. But when I came back to it now it turns out it's actually not that difficult at all. With a spindash included in the wrap process, this seems to be fairly consistent so long as you let go of right quick enough. Setting up from either this pixel or one further to the left, when I executed correctly I seemed to get it just about every time.

So you watch the first cutscene because if you don't, it stops you just like a boss would. I pause after getting knocked into the floor so I can easily let go of left when I'm past the crusher (because if you hold left too long you just fall out of the wall). I also pause for the spindash, so as to check my position, and to easily do the zip correctly. Neither of these are needed, but they increased my success rate enough, and I needed more attempts at the boss.

The hard part about this level? The god damn boss. Knuckles is invisible because he ends up behind the lava layer that is supposed to be the background. This boss is already the hardest with knux, since he can't reach the gangly arms without using the upward terrain on the ground, but one cycling while invisible proved too great a task. So I settled for this method. Happy enough with this though.
