>Clearly, he complexity of the scoring mechanic isn't tied to the complexity of doing a high-score run, because the latter depends on a lot more.
I'm not sure what you mean here. The cherry system and managing it is not simple. From timing cancels for star items for cherry+, shooting unfocused for extra cherry+, or breaking borders to chain them, like in webm related, it's clearly not simple. There are plenty of seemingly minor but also very important details, like using invincibility frames after, and possibly before you get a border (if it's delayed), or spell captures increasing the value of cherry items. The complexity of the scoring mechanic is also definitely tied to the routes that emerge because of it.

There's not really that much to it. The bubble hitboxes are much smaller than their actual sprite.
