Doomsday Zone but it gets more anxiety inducing the closer you get to the time limit

Make sure not to Time Over!
Or, what would the music from the Doomsday Zone sound like going from half speed to double speed over ten minutes?

Yes. If you're down to only 10 rings left, the tempo will speed up, indicating you need to get more Rings fast. otherwise, you'll plummet down to your death.

I love the fact that I Learned just for seeing this video that the Tempo works with the Biggest Number (In case 200) being the Slowest rhythm, and the fastest (0?) Being the Fastest Rhythm, this is great to identify some songs of some generes that can help identify his intensity on the song.

[@MozyOnIn]

This isn't true for actual songwriting. Not sure why it works like that in this program. Normally, the higher the tempo, the faster the song 😊

[@CuteTails_Doll]

@@MozyOnIn Very strange about that too, but songs can be so different with higher the tempo, it's something cool to learn about!

​@@MozyOnInit might be because the genesis sound programming might've used something like wait x seconds instead of a tempo

[@DarknessXxMaster]

If slamming head first into Asteroids, getting pelted by energy cannons and missiles wasn't enough, It was the anxiety inducing ring timer. Knowing that you had to collect rings to keep the chase up and if you missed so much as even one or two rings, It was fatal. Missing 6 whole rings was grave as they flew by across the screen in an instant- As fast as Super Sonic/Hyper Sonic would be going in a high speed pursuit. It's amazing that Sega stopped doing the Super Sonic battles. They were iconic to the Sonic Series. The Doomsday Zone track is a masterpiece in itself.
