Samurai Equine

@Victoria Everglade, @Props Valroa, @Skylight Scintillate

Trilby nods and listens. "Makes sense. I once saw a show about a supposed group of ghost hunters. It was just an hour of idiots screaming in an abandoned house, scaring themselves, and never truly find anything. No thanks~ Clearly there are some frauds out there."

Trilby takes the new number and reviews it. "I wonder if I am also vulnerable to possession..." His natural curiosity for adventure is kicking in.

6 / 100. Let's make it happen. 

Does anyone like the poetry I've been randomly posting?
I am running out of subject ideas. 

5 more times? 

Yay! I'm the one in red. My favorite color. 
You know me so well, Sparky~

I thought I had black spray paint...

Well, you know what they say, iron sharpens iron. Or in this case, lacquer sharpens bone or something. 

I also know a saying... Nana korobi ya oki.

Oh dear...

(Pats @Sparklefan1234 on the back) It's okay, my friend. They're learning. 

@Rafa Stary Everyone. Every time. 

Derpy deserves it.  (Keystrokes~)

The mitts grew thicker.

And what does an honorable and friendly samurai have to fear from these fists of mine?

Well, if I'm wearing my armor, I guess not much.  But I still don't know why you'd want to-- Wait, do you WANT to hurt your fists against my armor?  Despite what the kids might tell you, that won't actually make your fists stronger.

Pinkie as an Alicorn is way better! Now she can give flying hugs! 

I build a landing port for Pegasi and other flying creatures. It's as big as real-life landing port for planes and helicopters. 

30/10. Now claim your awesome trophy. 

Goodbye. 

7. Well done, everybody. 

 ...Can you guess what my favorite tea is?

Horns.

I genuinely can't tell the difference between these two.  (Does it the hard way after all)

 "I could punch Sammy, but that's like a $50 fine now."

 Nani?! Why would you want to punch me? I'm an honorable, and friendly samurai.

Lies! I love your memes, Sparky. Bring them on~! Can't get enough of them. 

Wish granted. You understand everything, but you can no longer speak or communicate with anyone in any way.

I wish I hadn't spilled that glue... 

She never did get to legitimately earn alicornhood...

Sorry Tails and Eggman the reason is due to unobtainable rings in certain levels the worst being shadows white jungle level which has over 100 rings out of reach of the player.

Not a question I am aware but just for the sake of reference alone here is the information on all ring max counts and what is normally possible for the player to get.

http://www.soniccenter.org/sm/files/maxrings.txt

The most well known ones are as follows.

On radical highway one ring is just to below and slightly to left of where Shadow starts at the cutscenes but the player cannot normally go back up that bridge to get it.

Mad space has one ring below the kill plane area and ten rings invisible to the player requiring a mystical melody to make visible however the needed mystic melody box doesn't exist normally.

Metal Harbor Hard mode has 75 rings just below the very jump pad directly above the kill plane.

And last but not least white jungle is missing about 164 rings which are floating in what is believed to be unfinished early design as it also contains enemies and speed ramps but no floor at about 20ft above the player and way off screen to the right.

 

Again I know not a question but there you go.

It's fine! I am just glad this thread still has some activity. 
From what I understand, the unobtainable rings hidden deep in any out-of-bounds areas, as well as rings hidden past the kill plane, are not there for the player. They were programming markers for the game devs. It's a very common practice to put hidden markers in unreachable locations. They might be there to remind them where to put action scripts, to remember valuable information, or some other important reason. For some reason, they made Rings the markers in the SA2.

There is also rumor that the devs wanted to add even more paths and details to some of the levels, but I can see you all ready knew about that.  Time and resource crunches can definitely affect the final product. Ultimately gotta figure out what to keep and what to scrap. And sometimes they can forget to remove some things, like impossibly placed yet still reachable rings.

Where's 18?
