Also, I'm curious. How many people here consider getting the chaos emeralds the true and only way to say you really beat a sonic game?
IMO if you beat the levels and bosses, you beat it. My kid brain always saw the emeralds and filler.
Similarly, in ghouls and ghost, do you think you have to beat the game twice and see the real ending to beat it, or was beating it one time enough?
I ask, because looking back, it is interesting how little kids come to conclusions on this stuff on their own. I'm curious to hear how your kid brains approach that stuff.
