I know that chimpo posted the Outrun special stage first in this forum, but on the old forum I posted the same special stages many months before. The only difference with chimpo's one were the tracks, which in my concept were going to give the impression of 3D, instead of being flat.

I fully support your suggestions, having independently suggested a couple of them myself.

Not sure about necessarily getting them back through a boss rush, which might suggest that there would only be a "good" ending to the game but at the same time it would be cool if, like in Sonic CD, there could be some way through normal play to get them that makes the special stages a good idea but not necessary.

Perhaps a boss or two that are apparently powered by the remaining chaos emeralds that will eventually reach a certain power level after a certain amount of time dependent on the number of emeralds it's holding. It gets harder then to beat it the fewer emeralds you have, as it will take less time to power up. If it beats you then it steals your emeralds and you get the bad ending, perhaps, but if you can beat it (and take whatever emeralds you don't have back) then you can go on to the final battle and then the good ending.

Timed bosses like that were a Sega staple back in the day, be it Revenge of Shinobi or Bare Knuckle III.

Obviously if you already have all the emeralds, then the boss's showing is akin to that of Nack in Triple Trouble on the final stage: it goes out, tries to be intimidating, and then simply falls apart. Oh that Eggman, always rushing things to market without testing them first. :P

Incidentally I'd love a Robotnik's Revenge real Boss Rush mode, in which you face up against this one along with all the other bosses (also special stage time attack) but aren't restricted to defeat him within a time limit and naturally he fights like he actually has emeralds (so that those who are good at the special stages can still experience the boss).

She is useless and make things even more complicated.

For the Sonic-Tails scene: Sonic can give him a pat on the back, do a thumbs up and run away.

As Chimpo said, this was already discussed before. Two times. Since my idea was lost in the scrapped topics, I'll try wording it again.

"The scene where Sonic and Tails split should have Sonic clearly leaving Tails to deal with Metal Sonic, in a 'I know you can do it, buddy' sort of way"
