Your don't need to watch the whole thing, because it could stretch for pretty long, but we do this to ensure there are no mid-game hacks or cheats used.

I am aware there are some cheats activated by pressing a sequence of buttons on the title screen. This could be solved by the player simply filming the game from the boot-up and put the controller in front of the camera and press "start," nothing else, so we know no cheats are used from the title screen.

Now,we have yet to officially decided, but the idea of recording high scores from Soinc 3 & Knickles is being thrown around. If we do decide to do this, as a constant, we should only play through Sonic's story - because it is the longest, and most prominent. If Knuckles' or Tails' story is played, it would definitely have a different score, and it's easier to get higher scores as Knuckles. Genius!
