Aquatic Ruin 2 with Sonic:
Max rings: 335 by Stanski, RPGNutter, MiStEr_ShAoLiN, and Aitamen
Best time: 0:36 by Aitamen, second is 0:37 by Stanski
Max score: 76400 by Stanski, second is 70400 by Aitamen

According to the times, nobody has reached the sub 30 needed for a 50k bonus.  However, note the number of rings.  The 335 max would give an end-of-level bonus of 33500+50000=83500, not including in-level score and time bonus.  Yet the max score is only 76400.  I'm confused.  I would say that something's wrong, but I don't see why anyone would lie and place their scores LOW.  Furthermore, the Knuckles ARZ2 scores reach into the 90k range.  What's going on here?

Large enemy combo.

EDIT: As Knuckles.

Id assume a lesser combo with Sonic, abusing rolling.

Aquatic Ruin 2 actually fails to get a perfect bonus, as there are some rings (I think 2?) that are stuck in a wall and impossible to get.

Yeah AR2 doesnt get the Perfect bonus, I should probably have remembered that <_<

I saw those; thought it was a visual glitch or something.  Great, now that means I'm missing 8 rings somewhere.

Check out where the rings are with a debug program: they are stuck in walls :-(.
