History Main / ScoreScreen

You've just beaten a level and a screen comes up tallying up the [[ScoringPoints points]] you got from the [[FollowTheMoney coins]] you collected, and from any bonus objectives you accomplished. The points are totaled up from each source, then the numbers are "drained" odometer style into your total score. Very common in games with ScoringPoints.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}''

** Some modern games still use it. ''SoulCalibur IV'' is a fairly recent example. Of course there are other ways to score points. ClothingDamage, FlawlessVictory and so on.

* ''TouhouProject''

* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' had this in every game. The first game had the best score screen, though. ''Great Shot'' playing in the background, kills tallied up by a line of people dying, fancy scaling effects on letters whenever you type in your initials, it was a real treat.

*** {{beatmania}} has typically taken it a step further and also put [[FetishFuel often swimsuit-wearing characters]] on the result screen for high grades.

* Early {{Fighting Game}}s would do this, draining the fight timer and your health bar into end-of-round bonuses if you won the round. At least, as long as the idea of scoring points was around; MortalKombat dropped it after the first game, while VideoGame/{{Tekken}} never had it to begin with.

* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' caps off each quest you complete with several screens: one for the items you get as quest rewards and for breaking parts off a monster (and you get to see a freeze-frame of the hit that brought down the monster), another for items your Felyne partner picked up or stole from enemies (unless you didn't bring a cat with you), and two more to count up the money and/or Pokke Points you got, and guild experience.
* Interestingly, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII''. It's used to determine how much TP (used for sub-abilities) you get, and for achievements.

* ''ChildrenOfMana'', after defeating a [[BossBattle boss]].

* Pinball Games have a end of ball bonus don't tilt.

* ''DanceDanceRevolution'', as well as its Korean simile, ''Pump it Up''

* Early {{Fighting Game}}s would do this, draining the fight timer and your health bar into end-of-round bonuses if you won the round. At least, as long as the idea of scoring points was around; MortalKombat dropped it after the first game, while {{Tekken}} never had it to begin with.

* ''CommandAndConquer'' had this in every game. The first game had the best score screen, though. ''Great Shot'' playing in the background, kills tallied up by a line of people dying, fancy scaling effects on letters whenever you type in your initials, it was a real treat.

* ''OdinSphere''

* ''{{Doom}}''. It measures your monsters killed/artifacts found/secret areas discovered percentages, as well as the time taken.

* ''{{Doom}}''. It measures your monsters killed/artifacts found/secret areas discovered percentages, as well as the time taken.
* ''DukeNukem''

* ''TouhouProject''

* Interestingly, ''FinalFantasyXIII''. It's used to determine how much TP (used for sub-abilities) you get, and for achievements.

* The ''{{Battletoads}}'' ArcadeGame tallied up the number of enemies of each type killed by each player at the end of each stage.

* ''MonsterHunter'' caps off each quest you complete with several screens: one for the items you get as quest rewards and for breaking parts off a monster (and you get to see a freeze-frame of the hit that brought down the monster), another for items your Felyne partner picked up or stole from enemies (unless you didn't bring a cat with you), and two more to count up the money and/or Pokke Points you got, and guild experience.

Some games just run a clock, in which case the odometer (or digital clock) runs up until the amount of time you used is reported. Often it will show the (ridiculously unreachable) "Par" score the developers of the game used to get to the exit. Like you've just sweated your ass off to finish the level, it took you 48 minutes to finish and it was ''[[NintendoHard really hard]]'' to get it even that quickly. So below your 48:13, is the developer's ''Par'' time: 1:45. Well, maybe not ''totally'' unreachable, you just do like Bill Murray in ''GroundhogDay'' when he explained how he was able to toss cards into a hat and never miss once: "Oh, not much practice, eight, ten hours a day, every day for six months."

* ''StarFox''

* Warhammer40000KillTeam has this after completing each level.

* ''MonsterHunter'' caps off each quest you complete with several screens- one for the items you get as quest rewards and for breaking parts off a monster (and you get to see a freeze-frame of the hit that brought down the monster), another for items your Felyne partner picked up or stole from enemies (unless you didn't bring a cat with you), and two more to count up the money and/or Pokke Points you got, and guild experience.

* ''Balloon Kid'' for the GameBoy does it when counting the balloons Alice collected in each stage.

** Some Modern games still use it. SoulCalibur IV is a fairly recent example. Of course there are other ways to score points. ClothingDamage, FlawlessVictory and so on.

** ''YoshisIsland'' and its sequel ''Yoshi's Story''

* Early FightingGames would do this, draining the fight timer and your health bar into end-of-round bonuses if you won the round. At least, as long as the idea of scoring points was around; MortalKombat dropped it after the first game, while {{Tekken}} never had it to begin with.

* ''PaperMario''

Some games just run a clock, in which case the odometer (or digital clock) runs up until the amount of time you used is reported. Often it will show the (ridiculously unreachable) "Par" score the developers of the game used to get to the exit.

In newer games, ScoringPoints are often replaced with statistics and a rating of the player's performance. In this case, they're vulnerable to RankInflation.
