![]() | masterofeggery 23 Apr 2021 01:43 the achievements have such uninspired names, ice cap is two words, the achievements for getting the chaos emeralds use sonic 2 screenshots, and they're just called the super emeralds not super chaos emeralds. so many problems | ||

![]() | kreuzkuemmelkonrad 6 Jun 2021 02:51 We look at this game but we love it | ||
![]() | DerEric 16 Sep 2021 17:18 I just wish some of these archievements would allow the level select mode. | ||
![]() | Emoon 1 Nov 2021 12:29 So we got a challenge cheevo which requires perfect'ing a special stage (going backwards), but NO usual cheevos for individually perfect'ing each of the 14 ones? :( Considering a player needs to do those stages at least 42 times to get all True ending cheevos, having more rewards for doing them would be very much welcome. | ||
![]() | williamgeesdorf 5 Dec 2021 15:30 Mastered (platinado)! Warning: the "Do the M.J." cheevo didn't trigger for me in the Genesis Plus core. Changed to PicoDrive, it triggered just fine. | ||
