I recently made a 90k knux point run for EHZ1 (I think that's the right abbr.), and I was wondering if it's possible to do better.  Glide Combos are the way to rack up points outside of getting a perfect, and I'm not bad at them, but I was wondering what the max is, looking at it in a flawless sense...

From what I can tell, 95800 is a perfect score, but I could be wrong.  What are the combo-points, for example, above 5?  I know it's 100-200-500-1000-1000, but I don't know beyond there (since I don't think about it, I just do it).

Anyone have any analysis to share?

[edit] also, does anyone have the total number of rings in each stage, ignoring possibility and safety?  Et al, what it takes to get the "perfect" bonus at the end of the level?

There are 296 rings in Emerald Hill 1.  To get the perfect bonus you have to get all "free" rings (ie not including those in televisions), but I can't recall off the top of my head how many of the 296 are in televisions.  Not sure about the score bonuses, but if it's anything like Sonic 1 it'll go up to 100000 next (not sure after that, I'm presuming it gets silly so people can get insane scores on Marble 2).

What really needs done is to plot enemies on a map and see where you can get the largest combos . . . maybe a project for when I've less work on.

After 100-200-500, the next 12 enemies score 1000 each, and everything after that is worth 10000.

Wow... that's going to be harsh.  I was drawing up maps today, and I think I can chain 10 in EHZ1, and I was hoping that put me over the 10k mark... sadness.

Oh well, I'll work on it tonight and see if I can get any more than that... the glide trajectory and my sense of spacing are both kinda sketchy, so perhaps more ARE possible.

I'll post a map of what I manage to do, and see if anyone can improve upon it?

[edit] oh, and with the combo intervals that high, I think a perfect score is either 95800 or 96700

Improvement!  95800

there's one fish, one coconut, and one bee that might be worth an extra k, but I don't see it... and then there's the extra k for time, if you manage to do it under 5m...

theoretical perfect score - 99500

What about EHZ2?

[Aitamen]

double...

Does anyone have the ring count for each zone/act in S2?  Further, does anyone know how many free rings there are?  

I don't want to miss any when I'm setting up my maps ^_^

Any ring count which corresponds to a score of greater than 50000 (except Hill Top 2) is a known level where perfect has been attained.

Go search those ring counts out.

AR2 has a max of 337, but it's only possible to get 335... though Shaolin or SM (can't remember) didn't get the last 4 with knux...

anyway, the last two rings are stuck in the ceiling near the end of the act... can a ruling be made against them? something?

an actual perfect cannot be obtained without glitching... can I get an honorary one?
