LSP: Sonic The Hedgehog 1 Master System - 6/6 - Sky Base Zone

Actually, scratch Scrap Brain, this is my favourite zone in the game. Challenging, the same (awesome) music and then some, and the concept is pretty amazing too!

I could have actually gone ahead and beaten Act 1 in less than two minutes for a slightly greater Time Bonus, but I get enough by the end of the last proper act to get an additional 1-Up. The stage itself can be summed in a few words: THOSE FUCKING CANNONS. They will screw you over time and time again.

Act 2 is awesome as well, with its key flaw being that in order to get the 1-Up and Emerald, you have to skip pretty much the entire stage, As for the stage itself, it's a ringless obstacle course. It's a cool concept. It's also the only stage where you're guaranteed a Ring Signpost.

Act 3's 1-Up Monitor only appears if you've collected every single one beforehand, which explains why I've been so insistent on getting them all despite how out-the-way some of them are. The boss itself is a joke up until the electricity bars behaviour switches up, at which point you need to recognise when it's going to turn on, as well as keep an eye out for the homing balls.

The End? Well, you never see games give you a Final Score screen half the time, so even if this one is pretty long, it's worth it.
