It probably wouldn't hurt to have an All Time Stones category, for consistency with other games. Even Sonic 1 and the MS/GG games have categories for this, and Chaos Emeralds basically do nothing in those games too.
So damage only happens the first time you complete a race, right? What happens after you complete every race and still have damage? I noticed that Single Race still looks at damage, at least until you've completed everything (I haven't completed everything yet).
It's frustrating that there's no unlock codes for this game.
PlayStation: How well does XEBRA run the versions of SotN specifically?
Sega Saturn: Is SSF acceptable? Last I heard, yabause paled in comparison, and is only used in multi-emulators because it's open source.
Dunno if this is supposed to be in Guides, but someone made some informative posts on SDA recently.

This game could maybe use a warpless category. There was always a spot for it on the SDA KB, but noone's ever really given warpless for the AI games any thought.
I also found a hack that throws out the egg-based level order and makes you play all 80 levels. Note that taking a warp in this hack breaks the new level order code, don't do that. Seems like a pretty neat potential category?
