How to unlock the Points III achievement in Sonic The Hedgehog 3 - Definitive Guide

I got this one during the second special stage by making sure I got a perfect by collecting every ring in both the first and second special stages. (See the Chaotic Achievement for details).

However if you don't get it then, destroying badniks will award you with points as will completing the level with a certain amount of rings or time left... these will award you with lot's of points.

You will undoubtedly get this achievement through just playing the game normally, however if your struggling and haven't got it by the beginning of the Launch Base Zone Act 1, there is a method you can use to get lot's of points.

When you start move to the right through this little trap which will set an alarm off and cause these flying badniks to attack you, simply camp in that area and spindash (Down + A) and the badniks will keep spawning and you will automatically kill them - netting you points along the way!

Can't believe they didn't patch that leeching point! Cue 100's of people tied for 1st place on the leaderboards with 9,999,999 points. :(

Perfect in the first 2 special stages nets you 100000 which is one of the easiest ways to get this. Just save right before the stage and retry till you get perfect, it helps to learn the layouts of the levels.

Yeah, getting the "Perfect" twice on Special Stages is the easiest way to go.

I found this solution by accident, but it works like a charm. Every level has a time limit of 10:00, but if you finish at exactly 9:59 you will get a time bonus of 100,000 points.

Since you can save at any point, I suggest taking your time on an early level and letting the time build until you are close to a boss fight, and save as you approach 9 minutes and 59 seconds and have only one hit left on the boss. If you can score the last hit at exactly 9:59, you will get all three point achievements in one level, and this method is less frustrating than getting perfect on the 3D bonus stages in my opinion.

Might seem very difficult but you could possibly unlock this in the first Zone. When looking for the Giant rings to enter the Chaos Emerald stages. Try to collect the spheres in a perfect square. Once around the the blue sphere squares, rings will appear. If you collect all possible rings in a Chaos Emerald Bonus Stage, you will get a “Perfect.” Once you get the Chaos Emerald, you will be awarded 50,000 points for the Perfect. Now you can do this again in another Bonus stage or simply play through the game and you should have no problem attaining 80,000 no further than the Second Zone.
