Oh you mean Sonic Unleashed medals, yeah they were much worst than Sonic '06 medals. The prime reason why I have yet to finish the game.

If collecting is an important aspect to story progress, why not have the Chaos Emeralds be located the the Special Zone to collect? Because you have to beat a boss to revitalize each of them in the Temples of Gaia, except for the last one. That's done before Egg Dragoon and Dark Gaia. True but collecting Chaos Emeralds manually could still be worked into a story than emeralds collected automaticaly. Such as further zones being accessable once you collect the needed ammounts of Chaos Emeralds in order to progress through the story.

Or simply the Chaos Emeralds are needed for the story and thus a "Bad Ending" if you don't get them all, just like the classic era. Yeah, but it seems that the latest Sonic games don't do that anymore.

That's alright with me. Collecting the Chaos Emeralds in every game of the series would get old in a hurry if it was the same deal every time, just with different parameters and requirements for each one.
