Espyo | Final Fortress (Rose) - 0 points - Low Score Challenge - Sonic Heroes @srb2Espyo | Uploaded April 2011 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Tries: 23.
This was as hard as making the Low Ring Challenge for this level. I'm surprised at how I took less than 80 tries.
When I was making the LRC for Final Fortress, I noticed a way to bypass the robots guarding the door. It was unreachable, but I knew that an eventual glitch or exploit could make me get to it. I don't know if it's an old glitch or not, but the glitch used in DarkspinesSonic's Ocean Palace Ring Attack video (youtube.com/watch?v=RKLxbxkvBOM) made it possible to complete this level with 0 points. I'm so thrilled I got this, because I wanted to complete this challenge for a long time, and now with the new glitch, I got really excited. I also added some small comments via annotations, and 2 blooper runs at the end of the video, to show how weird the game can be sometimes.
Also, the video failed to upload due to an unknown error twice. Honestly, it must be VERY hard to have a functional website, YouTube. REALLY hard...

LSC INFO:
The rules for the LSC are to, basically, complete the level (score tally included) with the lowest amount of points possible. The earlier Sonic games don't give points for rings, but they do give the ring bonus, so in a way, rings are banned in both recent and classic Sonic games for the LSC.
DISCLAIMER:
In the 16-bit LSCs (like Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, etc.), I DO use tools such as savestates and slowdowns, but they are merely used to make sure the video is made smoothly without silly errors. More info on such tools at tasvideos.org except I don't use the tools to speedrun.
In the more recent games (Like SADX and Sonic Heroes), I DO use cheats, but they don't alter the challenge's spirit. One of them manipulates time to skip automatically to around 5 seconds before the 0 point bonus time, instead of me having to wait.
In SADX videos, if Tails isn't present, it's also a cheat, to make sure Tails doesn't accidentally get rings.
KEEP THESE IN MIND before commenting.
