Competition Central / Sonic 1/Green Hill 1 Score Attack. Help!

« on: January 27, 2012, 12:50:06 pm »

Folks,

This thread is the big reason why I have joined TSC. I am currently in a score attack competition being held by a local game shop for GH1 in Sonic 1. The absolute highest score I can currently attain is 70,830. The current leader is 72,100 (Oddly enough, his screenshot shows he only has 72 rings. Not sure how he got this score. We'll discuss that later.)

I have mapped out my current route on the stage map to show what route I'm taking.

Can someone who knows S1's GH1 intimately give me some pointers here on how I can increase my points? Am I taking the wrong route?

Thanks for your time and help, guys!

Here's the route:

Hey there, SonicCenter Alumni.

A few of you might have seen me introduce myself this morning in the IRC, but I figured a formal forum post was in order to meet & greet with the rest of you.

I found SC via the SDA Speedrun of Sonic 1 where this place was thanked for assistance with that run.

Currently, I am engaged in a Sonic 1 GHZ 1 score attack competition, and I've hit a wall. (I'll save the details for another thread.)

My name is Mike. I'm 26, married to my high school sweetheart, and hail from Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. I enjoy drinking Guinness, playing basically every video game known to man, and messing about with computer networks.

Hope to stick around here and possibly submit some scores of my own to rankings soon!
