^^It doesnt store your times

Same goes for bosses, and times for almost every oldschool sonic games. I dunno, I just think that with so many stages that constitute the hard mode, and by how different they are to the originals, they should probably be on TSC. And the fact that we can't track the Extra missions that just add a timer makes this somewhat convenient.
Though I know some will argue that you have to start over hard mode every time so time attacking later stages would be annoying, eh.
Part of the problem with having Super Hard Mode (SH) and Expert Mode (ShTH) time divisions is not that the times aren't recorded, but rather you get very little time to actually write them down. On a serious note, a *Chaotix mission score divsion (for missions already counted at TSC) would not be a bad idea.

You could get a bunch of stop watches. It'll be tough though.
...Good point on Chaotix* Score, but is there really any fundamental difference in the levels? I haven't played in a while, so I can't remember if, say, items you collect are worth points. A lot of the timed or stealth missions wouldn't be able to be converted because they're the same as the regular ones, and if there's no fundamental difference it couldn't be done anyways.
Also now seems as good a time as any to pull out Sprint's sig.
If you don't want people to treat you like you're stupid, then your best defence is to not be stupid.

The extra stages tend to be more involved and challenging, resulting in a tougher time getting an excellent time bonus, (the cut off time for optimum time bonuses may have been adjusted) but you can get more combo bonuses. The timed *Chaotox missions aren't tracked for TA purposes though. The stealth missions are different for score because they are tougher to get a decent score from because of difficulties getting good combos without TBG (a lot of enemies in those stages tend to have strong armor or some form of shield). Then again, before we make a *Chaotix Score division, we should move TBG to freestyle and do all of the other things that were on the list (Unidivision should be first priority).
