Your goal is to rescue your friends from the clutches of the demented scientist Dr. Robotnik! VIEWING THE GAME SCREEN Keep track of your Rings, remaining chances, and game score by looking at the counters on the screen. GATHER THE RINGS Staying alive will be tough, but you can grab Rings along the way. As long as you have Rings, you won't be hurt when you get attacked or touch an enemy or obstacle (but you will lose all your Rings). If an enemy attacks when you don't have any Rings and you are not using the Spin Attack, you will lose one chance to complete the game. LAMPPOSTS You'll come across Lampposts in every Zone. Touch one of these to record your present score and time. If you lose a chance, you will continue the game from the Lamppost you last touched. All of your Rings will be lost, but the game will restart with the last score and time that was recorded. 1 Present Score 2 Timer Time elapsed since starting the Act.
