Never been this close to 100 percenting the game before

I have played this game for over half my life, but have never 100 percented the game before. Young me always tried to 100 percent it on Dreamcast or on pc but would never get to far, with Dreamcast being my favorite. Recently I been feeling very down about many things such as home and also a bit nostalgic with this being my first year in collage. Because of this I have decided to do the 1 thing that young me never was able to do, and on the version of the game I enjoy most. When I was little I was never able to get all the a ranks for any character but sonic so it feels good to finally be able to see the multiplayer characters I was never able to see on Dreamcast. I would always look at Sonic retro and see screenshots of big in multiplayer but never realized if it was real or not, so it is surreal finally being able to use him. I so far have all the a ranks for Sonic,tails, knuckles, and now eggman as well as all the emblems for the kart mode and hero boss rush mode. This is so far the farthest I have ever reached and it feels strange lol.
