Objective: Reach the Goal Ring. A-Rank Strategy: Final Rush is a high-speed, gravity-defying stage for Sonic. The key to an A-Rank is maintaining momentum and using grind rails and springs effectively. Immediately after the start, use the Light Speed Dash on the ring trail. Focus on staying on the upper paths as much as possible, as they generally offer more rings and fewer obstacles. The stage features many sections where you'll be grinding on rails in zero gravity; learn the optimal paths and jumps between rails. Use the Homing Attack to chain through enemies and springs to maintain speed. There are several hidden springs that can launch you to shortcuts. Avoid falling off the stage, as this incurs a significant time penalty. Practice the rail sections to perfect your timing and ensure a smooth, fast run.
