Complicated Emeralds to collect? This means the special stages are actually good!

But I'm pretty sure I'll get them easily...whenever I'll get this game.. (next month..? next year...? when there will be a big pack of all Sonic 4 episodes for sale, digital or retail...? if there's a big Xbox live discout thing "of the week"..?)
No Sonic special stage can beat Sonic Advance 2 or 3's difficulty! Those were HARDCORE man!!

If you get used to rotating the whole stage to move around, getting every possible ring to go through gates, while being timed, I guess you could.

He meant during the Special Stages. You need a certain number of rings to open these gates in the stage. It doesn't help that they have a time limit, either.

Oh. I wasn't aware of the amount of rings required therein. Strangly enough, I already have 3 Emeralds. Though I choose to try getting the emeralds first before finishing the game.

They should have included the special stages in the demo

Got all emeralds and beaten the final boss. And you only unlock a different ending based on the Emeralds you get. No Doomsday Zones here. You go up to the final boss after beating the other stages and bosses. ...and apparently, you can transform into Super Sonic in the regular levels then as soon as you collect 50 rings:

Oh yeah, a lot of us knew about that a long time ago, thanks to the achievements being shown long before the game's unannounced date release.
