Well, this sounds interesting. I can't remember how many rings I had before the outer part of the clocktower, but I'm sure I've caught every ring in the vertical line at the end.
I'll probably take a look at it again today.
I like how you just keep finding more rings. When a few people have the same amount of rings in a stage and say it's max, I won't even bother to search for more once I get the said max amount.
Btw, just call me final ^_^
EDIT: Well I just went over it again, and strangely, I only found 523 rings this time >_>
How many rings are on that long falling part? If I counted right, there should be 20. Anyway, you were right, there's 60 rings from the outer clocktower until the goal ring.
