After getting Homebrew Channel working I've been able to finally run my japanese copy of Sonic Gems Collection working and decided to have a playthrough of Sonic CD. Somewhat embarassingly (it is "only" a Sonic game after all) I'm a little unsure exactly what I should be doing beyond the usual collect rings, clear zones, enter special stages.
I get time travel aspect is important and that you can travel to the past, perform actions and change the future version to a 'good' version. However, I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do in the past to improve the future. In a couple of stages I found a projection of Metal Sonic which I destroyed but that didn't seem to do anything that I could see.
Also, is there any benefit to traveling to future zones or are they just a trap? It seems there are more future timeposts in the stages (often near springs/ramps that almost force you to reach the required speed) but can't think of a reason to want to go there.
Finally, do the Time Emeralds play any role in this or are they just for collecting and have no other purpose?
