I love this game. I played the Dreamcast version as a kid so many times and recently replaced the PC version.
I learned that you can unlock metal sonic after 100% completing the game, but he is just a cosmetic for sonic and thats it.
My problem with this is that once the game is 100% complete, do I want to still play just to see a different cosmetic?
Maybe if there was some variety to make the levels a bit different or if he was able to be used after getting all the B rank emblems so there is still some challenge to complete.
Unrelated to Adventures, but thanks to this post I rediscovered the Sonic Generations Unleashed Project mod (alongside some cool looking add-on mods). I saw a single video on the base mod years ago and completely forgot about it until today, so thank you for this, I guess, and also thank you to the person who posted the link to the mod site.
I did find a mod for a new character that actually changes gameplay https://forums.untamedheart.us/?topic=2638.0

here’s a list of “Gameplay Overhaul” modes https://gamebanana.com/mods/cats/4229?_sSort=Generic_MostLiked
Thanks, for the list. I never really considered modding, but some of them look pretty cool.
Patient gamers do not face a lot of disadvantages, but they do include (artificial) scarcity, waning official support and facing old-ass design choices that might not look very favourable anymore.

I don’t really see this as an issue, but as a choice. Back in the day, games lasted a lot longer. Hell yes we wanted to play as Metal Sonic. The next best thing we had was replaying the game as just Sonic.
Super Princess Peach does exactly the same thing.
The best reward for being good at a game should always be more game to play.I found Pikmin 4 problematic in a way too. You get the best toys at the very end so you end up not using them very much
