Not really. The "bitch" one is Sonic Advance 2. In order to get the true ending, each playable character has to get their own 7 emerald set. Let's see, that's 7 special stages times 5 characters. 35 freaking special stages to agonize through (not to mention the ramped-up level difficulty in comparison to Sonic Advance 1)! At least here each emerald counts regardless of what character you use. I also hate the fact that Sega removed the "wheel leg" running effect for Sonic Advance 2 and 3.
