'1' is not a possible score.

[Taco]

ask him what he did to get 1 point

we'll try it, and see if it works (though I think you're right. Isn't the lowest you can get like...10? or 100?)

[Bilan]

10 is the lowest possible unless you count '0'.

To my knowledge, there's never been anything in any Sonic game thats given out lower than 10 points.

'1' is impossible.

SM will clarify this matter, hopefully.

SB is the only game I can think of with nonzero values for the last digit in score, and I don't remember anything that would be worth less than 10 there.

Remember how, in the past, there were optional comments displayed next to each stat?  Players still have a chance to enter comments, but they don't show up.  Unless you look for them in a database search...

It turns out the submission of 1 was accompanied by the comment "15,500 I am not lying, its a secret i found while playing the game that made me get a high ass score!"

I've changed the score down to 0, and if he tries submitting 15500 in its place then chances are there will be some explaining on his part in order.

Sonic 1 (gg) - Score - Green Hill 1 - RPGnutter - 304200
Sonic 1 (gg) - Score - Green Hill 1 - Hero Chaos Chao - 304000
Sonic 1 (gg) - Score - Green Hill 1 - Shadow Wedge - 102900

Sorry, I don't want to affront here anyone, but are these scores really possible? In the whole game yes, but only in one Act is unbelievable! Maby someone accidentally wrote a zero too much at the end of his score and made some others do the same in order to have a comparable score. Maby these scores should be 30420, 30400 and 10290!

If RPG and swedge got it, I'd tend to believe it.

Also Rush has nonzero ones in points from speed bonuses.

edit: also after looking at the actual game in question, S1GG allows time bonuses up to 300,000 by incrementing by 50,000 per second saved under a certain limit.

[Stardust Speedman]

But I managed to finish the level in 19 sec., which is one of the best time records for this level, but I only got 30800 points for this (and not 308000). OK, I have played the Master System Version. Could it be that the score system in the Master System Version ist different from the Game Gear one?

EDIT: And if you look at the other Zones and Acts in the game, you will never see such a high highscore!

[SprintGod]

Master System time bonuses got nerfed.

Time       GG      MS
0:19   300000
0:20   200000
0:21   100000
0:22    80000
0:23    50000
0:24    40000
0:29    30000   30000
0:59    10000   10000
1:29     5000
1:59     3000    3000
2:29     1000
2:59      500     500
4:59      100     100
9:59        0       0

EDIT: And if you look at the other Zones and Acts in the game, you will never see such a high highscore!

1. Try reading them with your eyes open. Half of them have only 1 or 2 submissions, with one person simply claiming 100 points across the entire game.
2. Green Hill 1 (and possibly Sky Base 2) is the only level where 19 seconds is possible.

[Stardust Speedman]

Oh, OK, so the Score Systems are different. That explains everything. Sorry, I didn't want to quarrel with anyone here, but I simply couldn't believe those highsores.
