I hate it when you get so frustrated and you work your ass off and all you get is a friggin' "Thank You" screen at the end.
As Super Hard Mode was a reward for getting all the Emblem A-Ranks, I was surprised they even gave a thank you screen. However, the player should be rewarded for beating the mode. If they were too lazy to do another classic 2D stage in 3D as a bonus, then a concept/development artwork museum would have been both easy to produce and a good extra. A ‘speech test’ (to listen to all the speech in the game) would have made another lazy-but-nice bonus.
The least they could have done was unlock a new team to play as when you complete it, and they give a "Thank You" screen.
But then you would have to endure the poor game design again. Hyper Sonic would be a better reward. They could have given him the ability to fly and kept his destruction flash from S3&K. This would allow the game to be played without the need for enduring the frustration of the badly executed control system and the multi-hit enemies would no longer slow the game down (and, if there was no limit to his flying ability, the bottomless pits would no longer ruin the game).

I just wish I knew how to make screenshots. No, don't tell me how, 'cause then I'd probably wish I could afford the equipment NEEDED to take a screenshot.
You need a TV tuner card. I don't know how much they cost in the US, but in the UK, they are about the same price as a new game. The best option, though, is to get a PC that has digital VCR functions. I recently got one and it makes taking screen shots pictures really easy (although, lately, for some reason, it doesn’t capture sound as well as it previously did).

That is child abuse, make sure you do it in a back alley or something so you don't get caught.

Actually, as long as you aren't hurting an adorable puppy or a cute kitten, no one in the world will convict you.

There are two official Japanese guides - one by Sega and one by Sonic Team. I should be getting my Sonic Team copy within the next 12 days, so I'll scan and post the relevant information when it arrives.
Just to keep everyone up-to-date - I know 12 days have passed, but I still haven't received the guide! It is apparently still on the way, so hopefully there won't be too much more waiting. ^_^
