Title: Any Sonic the hedgehog high score
Post by: Sinistar on March 22, 2006, 08:55:46 pm
Me and my friends are having a sonic tournement ( score wise)  on April 1st 2006. I am just wondering what is the maximum score I can recieve on Sonic 1, 2,3 and Sonic and knuckles. Those are the 4 games we are playing. We will not be useing the lock on feature for any of the games. My current end of game score for each about now are
1: about 400,000
2: 402,395
3: 510:276
SK:  300:00   :(

I know about how you can keep getting perfects in sonic 3-4 untill the super rings run out. and I know about the 29 second time bonus in sonic 1. Any tips or suggetions would greatly be appreciated.

You need:
-at least 1 enemy
-a checkpoint that's near an extra life icon
-a place to die

Steps:
1. hit checkpoint
2. hit enemy for points
3. hit extra life
4. die
5. repeat steps 2-4 indefinitely and scalp the game for all it's worth.

In Sonic 3, it's even easier:
1. Get to Launch Base Zone
2. Stand over the first alarm
3. Charge up a spindash
4. Just hold Down for 10 minutes, and never release the spindash until you die by Time Over.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until you max out the counter at 9999990.

Really, whole-game score competitions are dumb.

Thank you for what you have told me, but we are on a time limit. What you said would work for #3 but we dont have time for the 1st thing you said. we have from 4:00pm  till  4:00am. Anything else?

But you dont get it. Were each putting in $20 for whoever wins, so if I knew all possible ways of just purely raping them I would be in the money.  :)

Well Sonic 3 is the obvious one. Problem is, if you don't play last, you're sort of screwed because everyone will just copy your strat.

I'll give you a couple of good point-scalping locations:

Sonic 1: Marble 2 - you can easily pick up about 30000 points from the green bricks near the end of the level, and there's a life in a secret room (check our maps).

Sonic 2: Even better than using levels on this is to continually go into special stages, get to the last section of the level and don't get enough rings to complete it. The closer you get to the target, the better.

S&K: Even better. You can pick up all the rings in the special stage and still die - that'll give you a 50k Perfect bonus every time.

I wish we had competitions like this... Enjoy your profit! :D

I probably wouldn't get it via PayPal, I've never used it.

And I wouldn't trust SM with forwarding it onto me, either. So you can keep your tenner.

EDIT: Figured I'd bring this (http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=454495&topic=27085231) to your attention.

As far as I'm concerned, if you want advice, you go through the proper communication channels. :)

The current full-game, special stage, 5LL Sonic 2 score is 4.4m for sonic, and 6.6m for Knux, I believe...

I know I am close as hell to both of them ^_^

Do people still post on gamefaqs regarding TSC stuff?

Amazingly, yes.

I would've thought we'd be top of mind when it comes to Sonic competition, but hey, that's GameFAQs for you (see thread made by Rolken a few minutes ago)

I mean when people used to post topics like "hey can a TSC admin fix this for me" or whatnot.

I don't ever remember any of that sorta hijinks - except maybe when TSC's been down, so that'd make more sense.

I dunno, I don't exactly go to GameFAQs much these days.
