I propose a change to the rules in which the normal difficulty requirement is moved to the general rules. I believe having one unified rule (non series specific) is more efficient than having the same rule repeated multiple times.

Games Affected: Sonic Advance 1-3, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure.
Pros: More efficient. Can nip future problems regarding difficulty in the bud.
Cons: Momentary confusion if not properly announced.

While you'd think that would be a smart idea, the problem is that a general rule would also apply to Sonic R, and I highly suspect that Easy difficulty has been used there for a long time for Tag mode, to the point where it's hard to weed out those specific stats because there are highly skilled Normal players.

That said, if it can be done, it will be done.
