I've not seen anything diffrent in the ending........do you mean the FMV ending (stars falling, flowers growing...etc?)..or is there somthing i've missed?...I can remember seeing a screen that had sonic, amy (i think...), Metalix (or mecha/metal sonic , as MOST people call him!), and robotnick running about, and on occaision, stopping and standing still......Is this the 'better' ending u speak of or just the FMV part..?
