Perfect Bonus - Sonic 2?

[Smii]

I did it again..

(My Gopher outputs PAL and my PVM is NTSC only sadly, so it's black and white..)

You used Knuckles? Then I guess I must downgrade your status from "witch" to "persistent wander-abouter", since the echidna would probably make it much simpler.

Still, nice to know the "Perfect Bonus" exists, that way I shall feel lazy and inferior for not achieving it whenever I play Sonic 2 now. Thanks evildragon!

Well on the way home I used Sonic and tails, this time I just used Knuckles.

It's not any easier with Knuckles, if anything he jumps shorter, and non of the paths really in the map make use of his climbing or flying (unlike Chemical Plant)...

Now thinking back, I think it was actually one of the acts in Chemical Plant Zone where I got a perfect bonus my first time. Emmerald Hill Zone was a bit more tedious to perform. And I think I remember it happening to me by chance the first time.

Wow I never knew the Perfect Bonus existed and I lived off Sonic 2 after it came out! Never really tried to get every single ring though.

The best Sonic game EVAR is still giving us surprises 18 yrs later.

So all you need to do now is finish the level in under 30 seconds (50k bonus), whilst simultaneously picking up every Ring in the level (50k bonus). Upload the footage to Youtube, and you're king of the ring, bringing us the energy.

Now tell me you didn't know about the hidden item boxes in Scrap Brain Zone 2, the fan-turbine-thing shortcut in Wing Fortress Zone, the Labyrinth Zone shortcut, or even how to get Sonic stuck in the 'push' animation whilst running

I've gotten perfect multiple times before. You have to clear the level of all collectibles I believe, including badniks, item boxes, rings, etc.

Nah, just rings..

Perhaps if more of everything is gotten, maybe the perfect increases, but just getting rings and ring boxes, I get perfect bonus.
