Two questions:

[Lyle]

1. Whats the UP and DOWN tiles for in the classic bonus stage?

2. Whats with the medals received during the score summary at each level finish? Sometimes they dont show even though Ive grabbed several. Sometimes, they show the wrong amount. Whats up with that?

[Rings]

1. Up and down increases/decreases the speed that the stage rotates.

2. Sonic games being sonic games I guess. I haven't had that happen myself.

Ah! thanks

Heres what Ive gathered so far, after some logging:

- Bonus stage medals do not display during the Act score summary.
- Dying during an Act might cancel your medal pickups for that Act. (Possibly if you die before reaching a new checkpoint. That would seem logical, but Ive got to test it some more.)

[Lyle]

So it turns out that medals gained during an Act will be lost if you die even once. Checkpoints doesnt matter.

That's really dumb. No other game does this. That's like losing the chaos emerald if you die after acquiring it.

Yes. I kinda wish checkpoints saved both Medal and Ring gain. At least its consistent now that checkpoints saves neither, just spatial progress and timer.

It also doesn't save if you have destroyed the golden badnik of the stage.
