It's like in the OG Sonic games, you have to collect all of the chaos emeralds to get a true/good ending, although in my book the bad ending is actually the best, lol.
Kinda confused. I beat every level, minigame, etc., and freed all the NPCs, and I got a bad ending? Is there not a good ending yet, or did I miss something?
You can beat it on level 7 there's a arrow on one of the petalstools you don't just fall off you have to jump and attack mid air to land on a invisible platform
