Earning 311 Rings+ on Final Fortress [Team Sonic]

This guide will guide a person when striving to achieve a good ring total on Final Fortress with Team Sonic. This guide is not a step-by-step guide and this guide is meant to help anyone going for a ring total of 311, my current best total as of November 7th, 2006, or higher. Anyway, pay close attention to the following info:

'Member, if you get higher in any area, that's, obviously, a good thing! :P

1st Checkpoint: 83
Area with Giant Robot with Hammer: 114
2nd Checkpoint: 186
Self-Destruct: 194
Bonus Rings: 213 ( All 3 in )
Target: 222 (with 5 rings awarded)
Large Area with tons of Robots: 269
Final Checkpoint: 292 (If you get a TB from the target right before)
Self-Destruct: 298

After getting one team member in the second-to-last bonus ring and two in the final bonus ring set, you'll end up with 311 as I have if you follow this accurately. I strive to get higher next time, though.

Enjoy.
