2 - I certainly cracked it. How on earth did you miss it? Did you oversleep? Were you in a coma? What? I did ensure no lives were lost, however, and I succeeded. If you want to know how I managed that, I refer you again to the fact that I am the most brilliant thing in the history of this planet, up to and including sliced bread.
3 - There's often a "it seemed like a good idea at the time" thought behind it. And in fairness, I had proper control over Time Eater. It was simply defeated.
4 - I've been looking into that, actually. It looks like the Chaos Emeralds were lesser gemstones until they were brought back to Angel Island and reunited with the Master Emerald. The result is that they regained their proper form, mistakenly referred to at the time as "Super Emeralds", but frankly, they're just the true Chaos Emeralds.
5 - Actually, that's just SEGA having a few twits over at the story department not knowing the actual background data. There are seven, always were seven, and always will be seven. The reason the energies they contain doesn't go completely mental is precisely because it's constrained in such an orderly shell. The Master Emerald seems to be able to transcend this - having been shattered on multiple occasions - but the Chaos Emeralds do not. At least, that's my theory at the present time. I don't particularly want to test out what happens if I were to shatter a Chaos Emerald, as disgustingly hard as it would prove to be anyway.
6 - Most of these spinoff games are pure money-grabs by SEGA, using a famous franchise to garner some extra money. This was merely a friendly racing event, but when SEGA decided to do a game on it, they decided "Well, it's Robotnik, he's evil, he uses missiles because he cheats!"
I have no idea why they also gave Amy weaponry though. Possibly fits with the fact that she's a nutter.
Yeah, that's sort of the problem. If I could manage to catch/arrest/imprison Sonic and all of his friends in one go? I would've taken over already.
Also, nice image. I note that my name's been reduced to "RBTNK" though. 8-bit limitations or just space limitations?
