if you notice, the large levels are red
all the red levels have multiple paths
why they made a select few with larger spaces in specific though i have no idea
i am slowly, ever so slowly, teaching myself how to make music via the creation of a knuckles chaotix remix
particularly of the bonus stage music "tachy touch"
be on the lookout for it in a couple of years, perhaps
i just got a really dumb idea that maybe they could do an adventure mode style credits sequence
you fight the names until you get killed, then the rest scroll past, or something like that
and an even dumber idea would be to make a secret unlockable character only be earned by beating the whole cast
