I had spare time to kill and decided to tinker around in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
This is what popped out.
Ice Cap 1 is modded for your gaming pleasure. Level select is same as always, and the level's only set up for Sonic alone. If I sent you a beta of this, it's been altered since, so you should grab the newer one.
Of course, since TSC is "moving away from stat submissions and into competitive gaming", or however mike put it, I figure I'll try making it a contest like everything else on TSC. Whoever posts in this topic and attaches a .giz of the best
scoring run (not fastest, although a 50k Time Bonus will help) before New Year's EST will get... iono yet. I'm pestering Gerbil about having lil' contests like this seasonally and setting up a worthless Site Award for it, but more than likely I'll end up tossing over the same AniGIF Trophy that I used in Tourney 1/2. Meh.
For those of you who don't know TSC's rules for Sonic 3 scores:
No bonus/special stages allowed
No dying
Must finish within 9:58
May only hit the end-of-act sign once (subsequents hits should be deducted from your submitted score to compensate)
61200 - Thorn (although I don't count, just giving a target)
57200 - Rick
