Nice scoring system:

Complete an act in...
Less than 59 seconds: 50,000 points
1:00 - 1:29 minutes: 10,000 points
1:30 - 1:59 seconds: 5000 points
2:00 - 2:29 minutes: 4000 points
2:30 - 2:59 minutes: 3000 points
3:00 - 3:29 minutes: 1000 points
3:30 - 9:58 minutes: 100 points
9:59 minutes exactly: 100,000 points

That would have been especially exploitable in the first two games, where the timer keeps going until you cross the bonus plate, or pop the capsule in most acts featuring bosses. In this one, it stops the very moment you beat the boss.

... However, this also opens a new can of worms. Since bonus plates aren't just lying there for you to cross in Sonic 3 as they were in the previous two games, but rather fall from the sky once you defeat any zone's act 1 sub-boss, and you get 100 points each time you bounce them, you can actually keep juggling them indefinitely, and get as many points as you want. This can also make for some serious two-player volleyballing, lol.

That could be banned easily. I think the bigger issue would be what you'd do until the timer gets to 9:59. The Sonic 3 levels are pretty big though maybe they offer enough points to occupy you for around 10 minutes.

Friend just showed me this, a pretty comprehensive review of Michael Jackson's (and his team's) involvement in the music of Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
