A suggestion was made to change the rules for Sonic Rush Times Divisions and Bosses Divisions to permit using Gameplay Mode to submit stats. The reasons being there are no differences in modes when playing on Normal difficulty, and no difference between Normal and Easy on levels that are not Boss battles.

To prevent new stats from using elements of the game unavailable in Time Attack mode, I would additionally recommend that Times must be attained in a single continuous run without deaths and, if Time Over is enabled during Time Attack that it also be enabled when using Gameplay Mode.

Any thoughts?

Fine for normal levels, don't do this for bosses.

Some bosses behave differently outside of time attack mode, even on normal. I think water palace, mirage road, leaf storm, and altitude limit all come to mind immediately.

I don't remember exactly what was different -- it's been too long. But I do remember the consequences being something along the lines of attack patterns changing.

There are some differences between time attack and regular gameplay for the action stages.

The most obvious one is checkpoints being removed in time attack, but there are a few more. In regular gameplay, there are some 1-up items, but in time attack, they are all replaced by max boost items. Also, for Sonic only, special stage entrances are not present in time attack. Easy mode also affects some action stages, but as far as I know it only removes some enemies.

The rules will remain as they are for now. It appears that the differences in game modes matter and there is not much support to implement this change to the existing charts.
