Reviving this forum as I review some things based on recent events

We already allow tons of version differences, why is this any different?

Shouldn't there be the Knuckles/Rouge digging clause here?

Digging up items doesn't add on points to your score iirc.

And what about the rings? I haven't done a hunting stage in a while, but yeah.

Should this rule -- "In Twinkle Park and Lost World, you can't hit a switch to create any more rings after any such rings have already been collected once." -- be there as well? Again, kinda redundant with General, but yeah.

Those ring charts have been obsoleted anyway, so a complete removal would make the most sense.

Maybe reword it so it sounds less weird and more consistent with the charts. "Ring statistics on night stages must be attained in a single continuous run (without deaths)."

The rule was put into effect because at some parts of levels, rings will respawn if you die. However, there is already a general rule in effect that covers respawning rings (which you briefly touched upon in the SA(DX) one): "For ring stats, you may not collect the same ring(s) more than once."

It's different because there's already a ban on the S3&K version differences; it's just not stated in the rules. This is one of the few times that versions of a game have certain methods disallowed. But the reasoning for that -- that the version is uncommon -- could be applied to Sonic 3D as well.

It's also worth noting that the second half of the written Knuckles rule ("nor is dying after hitting a starpost.") is redundant considering general rules. ("Scores must be attained in a single continuous run (without deaths).")

iirc when knuckles dies he gets back the rings he had when he hit the last checkpoint AND all the rings respawn.
--- Quote from: Spinballwizard ---SONIC & KNUCKLES SCORE DIVISIONS
"In Lava Reef 1, you can't destroy a badnik which came from the same origin as a badnik you already destroyed." - Add Mushroom Hill 1 and 2, as you can continuously go back and spawn new mole-bots.
--- End quote ---
these are currently allowed. I believe the reasoning behind it is that the score gained is minor where as in LR1 99% of the score is gained from destroying the same badnik over and over again.
