a scar in time...
Back on emblems again: In Sonic Colours/Generations, Red Rings were listed in order of their approximate location in the level (i.e. the first listed Red Ring was near the beginning of the level; the last listed was near the end). Does the same thing apply to the new emblems?
Probably not, but considering Red Rings all look alike and these emblems don't, it's kind of a moot point.
Another problem with this is that SRB2 stages are much less linearly designed than Generations stages, making it more difficult to place emblems "in the order they appear".
