Question about S ranks

[Keeby219]

I know S ranks are needed for 100% but what exactly is required for S? Do I need to do lap 2? What about combos am i allowed to drop it a few times?

you need to both get a high enough score, get all the secrets and the treasure, and go to lap 2, you dont really need to worry about combo unless you are going for p-ranks, but still try to keep a decent combo since it gives you more points

Don't get hurt more than 2 times and finish the level with the points required for the level (it's different for each level but it says on the PT Wiki)

not getting hurt more than 2 times are the requirements for boss levels, for an s-rank, you need to get all of the secrets, get all of the treasure, go to lap 2, and have enough points for s-rank by the end

You actually only need enough points for an S rank. You're probably confusing that with a P rank, which has those requirements along with starting your combo before leaving the first room and keeping it through the entire level.

Yeah i know, but usually the requirements match the amount of points you would get from doing that, but for someone thats starting out, its better to just do that rather than think about whether refrigerator refrigerador freezerator can be s-ranked without going to lap 2

As the others said, S rank only requires a high amount of points. You need to get the secret treasure and do the 2nd lap to get enough points for an S. Secrets and maintaining a high combo can be a mandatory requirement to obtain the points needed in some levels.

LIES! In freezerator, with enough score and enemies killed, you can get an S-Rank.
The S is completely dependant on the score. Which is why, you may notice that sometimes you took the combo to the end and also got an S, but it's still not a P due to a missing element like the topping or any secret, including treasures

but most of the time you will need the lap 2 for extra score

[Kirbo2020]

Each level has a different score required. Do whatever you can to reach it. Usually you're gonna want a half-decent combo and every objective the others on this thread have been talking about. You may not need them all (I can get an RFR S-rank before lap 2 pretty consistently), but I would recommend it. Here are all the required scores for you:

Floor 1
John Gutter: 16000
Pizzascape: 20000
Ancient Cheese: 17000
Bloodsauce Dungeon: 18500

Floor 2
Oregano Desert: 19500
Wasteyard: 20500
Fun Farm: 19000
Fastfood Saloon: 20000

Floor 3
Crust Cove: 23000
Gnome Forest: 19000
GOLF: 23000
Deep-Dish 9: 20000

Floor 4
The Pig City: 20000
Oh Sh*t!: 20000
Peppibot Factory: 20000
RRF: 18200

Floor 5
Pizzascare: 18200
Don't Make a SoundL 22000
WAR: 21500
Crumbling Tower: 5500

For bosses, you can only take a few hits. For P-ranks, get every major collectible in a level while keeping a constant combo, and don't get hit on bosses. Good luck!

Can confirm that RRF does not require lap 2 in order to get S rank. It happened to me by accident, while I was doing P rank run. S rank appered in a last room with exit gate. Finall score including P rank was somewhere around 24k. So I think it is possible to get S ranks same way in other levels

[Local Noise Fan]

get double the score needed for a A rank

[Kinemonto]

do everything that there is to do in the level paired with a high combo count

[Ravenant]

Basically, you'll usually want to do Lap 2, get the Secret Treasure, and get as many points from other sources as possible. Try to take minimal damage from enemies whenever possible as getting hit subtracts points from your score. Collect plenty of clocks and any remaining collectibles you f ind during Pizza Time and Lap 2 in order to maintain a high enough score. Letting your score decrease too low will result in your S Rank turning into an A Rank, unless you're still able to gather enough points to earn it back before exiting the level.

Secrets contain lots of extra collectibles that can increase your points, and collecting a Toppin' also increases your score considerably, but getting all of each is rarely necessary to get an S Rank. Nonetheless, it's a recommended strategy to go for all of the Secrets and Toppins as the higher the score, the easier it is to maintain an S Rank during the level's escape sequence.

As others have said already, with boss battles, you can only afford to take a few hits in the battle, no more than 1 or 2 IIRC. Taking only those many hits will net you an S Rank. Taking no hits at all will earn you a P Rank.
