Just don’t do the broken things?

Mad you can’t beat Sonic without going fast or dropping your rings?

@kingstarscream320 who said I can't?

Ignoring your weird unwarranted hatred of pinball, these arent "pinball games" anyway

Good comment.

Ring Attacks can be fast, it just takes work.

Go ahead and cry.

What a foolish comment. You make it seem like the way score/performance is calculated is the same between Sonic and Cyberpunk. Put another way: Beating a level without taking a hit is a totally different animal between Sonic 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops. So yeah, your straw man take reveals your poor comprehension.

Were they actually added last minute? Do you have a source? It makes a lot of sense.

Wouldn't be surprised....sometimes real life tastes influenced the characters' attire. Robert Iler, who played AJ on the show, came to the set one day wearing a Pantera shirt, and David Chase used that fact itself to decide that AJ's character would wear pantera shirts. Sooo perhaps Robert Iler was a Mario Kart fanatic!

I think both trying to maximize your score while aiming for the best time bonus, and maximizing score even if it means skirting the 10 minute barrier were both intended ways to play.

Back then, before internet leaderboards, nobody cared about a scoring system not being perfectly balanced. You can simply choose the avoid the 9:59 bonus.

Try playing score attack and you’ll realize it isn’t.

@@kingstarscream320 I have and it has it's fun; however, proclaiming that playing without these random ass rules is deemed as "mellow mode" is self-entitled nonsense. To act as if we, who have played this game rigorously for DECADES and perfected our runs, are somehow "bad" at the game and are playing on easy mode is ridiculous. I'm very good at this game and just because I enjoy running through the stages at high speeds (which is clearly intended by level design) doesn't mean it's a worse way to play. Obviously, SEGA stands for Service Games and they made arcade games, so they created a score system to compare high scores, not for this. It's a cool challenge but to discredit 99% of players' opinions who don't play with your strict rules of "no special stages, no elemental shields" and whatever else, it's just ridiculous. If i spend too much time exploring and get a time of 9:59 I just get 100,000 points, clearly playing this way is unintentional. I would say that aiming for the lowest time possible is a more objective measure of skill, especially in a level like Flying Battery Act 1. I would have no complaints if this clickbait and self-righteous video was called, "A New Way of Appreciating Sonic 3" or "Giving Sonic 3 more Content" and not being so weird and self-entitled the entire video, but obviously, it wouldn't garner the same amount of views.

@@hamard1027Score needs to be a part of it, because aiming for time alone encourages the players the cheese bosses and use glitches, which obviously weren’t intended.
