My brother and I were trying to figure out how that player got 3,000 beats during that stage, but we couldn't figure it out. I remember we realized what stage it was but I forgot now. And its not spoiler at all, I could tell you what happens at the end and im pretty sure no one would care when they found out. Its alot like old Sonic games. And its basicly a gameplay tip not a cut scene at the end.
Im pretty sure there will be a sequal to this game, I don't think for GCN though. But I wonder if we will see a few other classic characters like Diddy Kong, Rambi, Squaks, or even a barrel. Not to say I don't like the all new cast, I love them, i'd take Orco(or what ever the Orcas name is) over Enguard any day. And the pigs and new apes are pretty darn cool. But it would be nice to have some familiar faces in a new game. I wouldn't even mind tag teaming for really long stages.
