Objective: Reach the Goal Ring. A-Rank Strategy: Prison Lane is a combat-heavy stage for Tails. Focus on destroying all enemies efficiently. Use your lock-on missile attack (B button) to take out groups of enemies quickly. use your flight ability (hold A after jumping) to reach higher platforms and avoid ground hazards. There are several hidden rooms and passages that contain extra rings and 1-Ups; explore thoroughly. In the section with the moving laser grids, time your movements carefully and use your flight to bypass them if possible. Destroying the large G.U.N. Beetles yields significant points. Keep an eye out for the red explosive barrels; shooting them can clear paths or destroy multiple enemies at once. Maintaining a high combo of enemy destructions will also boost your score towards an A-Rank.
