Point

An overview of Crystals and the points they reward, from Sonic Runners.

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.

A score system has been a part of the series since the beginning, in the original Sonic the Hedgehog, with virtually every game following suit.

Overview

Sonic defeating Badniks. Points will multiply each time a Badniks gets destroyed in succession.

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 Real-Time Interactions. 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.

After completing a Zone, all HUD calculations are added to the total score.

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.

Shadow the Hedgehog

In Shadow the Hedgehog, aside from the stages' Normal score (which takes points from collecting Rings, touching Item Boxes and so on), there are also two separate scores for Hero and Dark which increase based on the actions Shadow performs (eg. defeating Black Arms enemies or recover GUN Soldiers will net points for the player's Hero score, while defeating GUN Soldiers will grant Dark score points).

The final stage score depends on the mission completed; the score gained from completing a Normal Mission is not affected by the Hero or Dark scores (and is simply the sum of the normal level score and time bonus) while the final score given when completing a Hero or Dark mission is calculated as follows:

Hero Mission: $NormalScore+TimeBonus+HeroScore-DarkScore$

Dark Mission: $NormalScore+TimeBonus+DarkScore-HeroScore$

• Environmental Objects: In Shadow the Hedgehog, destroying environmental objects can grant points. Depending on what the player destroys, they will either be granted Hero points or Dark points, although the majority of environmental objects that can be destroyed grant Normal 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.
