Point

Points are abstracted units in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They refer to the measuring system used for evaluating a player's performance during the gameplay. Points are acquired by collecting items, defeating enemies and bosses or performing different actions or other ways. The total of all points are calculated in-game as the score. After reaching the goal of a level, all point counters are then aggregated to the total score.

The first game in the franchise to demonstrate the score system is Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), with each game in the series having different ways to earn points.

Overview
Throughout the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, points have referred to an abstract quantity associated with the player. During gameplay, various actions can raise the number of points the player have. Such actions include collecting different items like Rings, hitting breakable objects, utilizing gimmicks like the Rainbow Rings, defeating enemies or bosses, or executing certain tricks like Trick Actions or quick time events. Number notifications are usually seen on the screen afterwards, either popping out the collected item, destroyed target or close to the HUD. Earning a specific amount of points may grant the player extra lives or clear specific achievements/missions. In certain games, the player can multiply the points earned by hitting/defeating multiple enemies or breakable objects in a row. Providing multiple hits can as well result in a Combo which will grant more points the longer it last. In later games such as Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), the player can also earn variable trick points with classifications from events like defeating enemies consecutively or performing certain moves, such as the Light Speed Dash.

Depending on the game, when the player reaches the end of a level, the end-of-level tally is split into different categories based on the HUD point counters and/or other gameplay elements. Like previously mentioned, the player can earn extra lives, Continues or other features while the acquired points are calculated during the aggregation of the total score. Evaluation-wise, Points are used as quantitative indicators of success in gameplay, and in most games, the quantity of points determines what rank the player will get at the end of a level. In games such as Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit), the final score tally aggregates all total scores from each Act of the game (including the Special Bonuses for each completed Special Stage) after the player has cleared the whole game.

Certain parts of the games may operate with their own score systems, such as Special Stages, Bonus Stages or mini-games, where the player earns points in a similar fashion, usually from Ring bonuses. In Special Stages specifically, the scores earned here will be calculated into the total score after exiting one. Different multiplayer modes may also award the players with points for their respective scores, which are tallied up upon finishing the multiplayer modes and may affect the selection of the multiplayer mode's winner. Arcade games may also feature high score lists which players can get their name on by getting enough points after clearing the gameplay.

There exist other forms of score categories that serve different gameplay purposes. Experience Points can be obtained from certain accomplishment and can be used to evolve the playable characters, while Gravity Points in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity are stored in the GP Gauge and allow usage of Gravity Actions.

Sonic Unleashed

 * style="vertical-align: top;" |

Miscellaneous

 * Combo: In the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version, the more the player hits enemies in his werehog form with different skills, the more he/she gets combo points, and receive Dark Gaia Force.
 * Rainbow Ring: Just like Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version awards points for getting through a Rainbow Ring, starting with 1000 points for each one or for just the first one. Note though that the previous accessed Rainbow Ring will not award points again, and the Dash Rings give no points at all.
 * Action Chain: On the Wii/PlayStation 2 version, the player is given points depending on the number of destroyed robots, getting through several Rainbow Rings, or doing the both in a success. On the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version, the player is given more points if they destroyed a chain of similar robot models (mostly 200 points or slightly more).
 * Drift Bonus: If the player Drifts in the Wii/PlayStation 2 version, he/she gets points depending on his performance of that Drift. But instead of being calculated into the total score, the points are added on the Boost Gauge to either fill a slot or part of it.
 * Ring Bonus: While Rings do not compute on the player's score on the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version, it is calculated on the result, where every Ring is worth 1000 points.
 * Quick time events bonus: When jumping of blue springs or Trick Jump Panels, Quick time events are activated. Depending on their performance, the player will be awarded with different quantity of points.

Trivia

 * Although the Xbox Live Demo of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) gives points for using the Light Dash, this was not carried over to the final version.
 * Additionally, there is an unused sprite found inside the files of the final game that contain words for multiple set of points meant to be given to the player, along with scrapped ones, indicating the game was going to have a bonus points system similar to that of Sonic Adventure 2.
