7 Mar 2017 12:23		Pro-tip: Play the game on "Fast". It's paradoxically easier and way more fun.
4 May 2017 18:09		Good Achievements. I hate it and like it. I'm never gonna play this game again. If You have problems getting these achievements, use 256 live glitch. It's very useful to earn them.
30 Jul 2018 4:17		Thanks fellow brony! Even Buttnik's ultimate cheapiness couldn't stand up to THAT many lives!
30 Jul 2018 19:28		this game kicks my ass since i was like 8. Now im 22 and it just kicked my ass today..
10 Mar 2020 11:48		Mastered!
17 Mar 2020 5:11		Those bonus cheevos are so tiring... you only get one chance and the ball trajectory is so random.
9 Apr 2020 14:39		Am I allowed to use level-select to help me get to the third Bonus Stage to grab that Chicken Button in Hardcore mode or not? Gah! It's such garbage having to waste time to get to The Machine, beat it, and fail on the stage! I NEED THAT ACHIEVEMENT!
11 May 2020 10:10		Yep, looks like it, there's no protection on it
11 May 2020 10:13		Not like it's needed anyway... "Awesome Score" pretty much covers the "no codes" aspect by itself.
12 May 2020 18:16		YASSS! I FINALLY GOT IT! I FINALLY GOT CHICKEN BUTTON ON HARDCORE MODE.Mastered! :)
27 May 2020 17:33		Mastered back in my quest days. Probably this is one of the most raging games in Sonic franchise. The only thing missing was an achievement requiring completion on one Multiball Bonus.
28 Oct 2020 6:07		Mastered. Finally beat this game after 20 something years
4 Feb 2021 17:14		This set will be updated soon, as stated in the forum, so much of this will change as well as new achievements being added.
12 Feb 2021 1:26		Set revision should be complete, hope it goes well..
14 Feb 2021 10:28		Mastered and remastered again! Thanks to all developers involved in making this set and MGNS8M for revisioning it! I think I got a little of my sanity drained, I need a breather xD Time Bonus, Jackpot Bonus and Multiball subsets were the toughest ones!
14 Feb 2021 10:40		Fast mode subset was a nice addition to force players to play that way. Never finished the game on Fast mode before... Such adrenaline, much speed! (and I am still not using level select cheat yet. Wasn't needed to :p )
14 Feb 2021 12:07		One more thing: It seems that majority of achievements (if not all of them) of this set are blocked against "multiplayer" mode. So, don't ever think changing default value "1 PL" in Mode on Options screen to take advantage on your trials and errors.
14 Feb 2021 14:29		In case of more people still get confused about how to beat Robotnik in Showdown while pressing the lower button of his spacecraft a lot of times, take a look here for explanation: https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=164&c=79181#79181
27 Feb 2021 10:37		OH MY GOD! I can't believe it! I finally mastered! Wow, it's a very hard set! Finally I did it! Thx for revision. :D
20 Mar 2021 23:28		Not getting the 100m achievement and mastering this before the onslaught of new achievements hurts now
