Power Plant 157,570 Points - Team Dark - Sonic Heroes (GCN)

What a truly chaotic stage this is. I thought Team Sonic's version of the stage was pretty complicated with its combos, but this takes it to another level. This is in part due to the abundance of turtles to defeat - which add a huge luck factor to the combos. In this run I finally managed to lose no points from these turtles, but in my previous runs I always did for at least one.
It's usually the golden turtles that can give 0 points, but the normal ones occasionally can as well. A lot of golden turtles in this stage are linked to 5 enemy combos, so getting 0 points for one would not only be a 400 point enemy loss, but also a 1000 point combo bonus loss for only destroying 4 enemies.
In terms of the combo setups though, this stage has some pretty slick ones. The generator rooms are satisfying to do, with how the enemies are super spread out yet still possible to chain from top to bottom. The second one in particular is really cool, as you essentially grab everything as rouge in one flight - 3 level ups, 5 enemies and a set of rainbow rings to finish it off.
I hope you guys enjoy, this was definitely a tough one to get. Casino Park for Team Dark is up next for Sonic Heroes!

I forgot how fucking GOOD this game actually was!

Unstoppable! Way to take on and own this stage (as Team Dark as well)! And interesting bit of info about the turtles. Never knew that.

[@ElectricStriker777]

Thank you! And yeah, the 0 point turtle glitch tends to happen when the turtles are standing. While in this position, either homing attacking with Shadow or punching with Omega can cause the glitch. If you can get the other characters to attack the turtle alongside you, however, you'll more likely get the points for it.

Incredible optimisation man, I had no idea about the score thing with turtles and that sounds like bs to me. Have you calculated a theoretical optimum for the level by chance? Probably hard to do, but I guess if you knew the minimum amount of time required to complete the level while also accumulating score throughout the level, you could maybe get a decent approximation. I'd be tempted to try it myself based on this video

[@ElectricStriker777]

There's one combo chain that could've been 2000 + 2000, but this run has it only as 2000 + 800. Also, 600 additional light dash points could be achieved in the last elevator section. If you combine that with completing the stage in 6:17 or faster, 160k is just about the best you could do here.

i just realized the red liquid is the same liquid in sonic adventure 2 at the final stage

[@yoav.a5574]

Great job! I'm pretty sure in final fortress with team dark you can even exceed 160k

[@andy120195]

Nice one here. The combos are very sick, especially 6:33-6:48. At 5:43-5:55, I take that it's impossible to get 5+5 instead of 7+3?

[@ElectricStriker777]

Thanks! The 5+5 is possible, but very, very difficult. I achieved it once with Omega, with a frame perfect dunk after the conveyor. The problem is that Omega unleashes his dunk too slowly, no matter how soon it's charged up. The chain could also be done with a thundershoot, as ShadowJacky does in his run. This method can, every now and then, take out the turtle on it's own, but with a high risk of getting 0 points for the turtle. Either way, you need to be extremely lucky.
