Magus: If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.
- Crazy creditsIn addition to the two main endings, of which there are two versions, depending on whether you attacked Lavos with the Epoch or not, there are also ten additional endings, most of them light and goofy, that can be accessed by the bucket in the End of Time or Lucca's Telepod, at various points during the game. However, since Lavos is incredibly hard, you should only attempt this with the New Game+ option, after you have beaten the game.
- Alternate versionsIn late 2008 a version was released on the Nintendo DS that featured new animated clips in the game and some changes in the story.

Featured review
This may be a hard to find game for the Super Nintendo, but it's a great one. Crono is a boy who meets a peculiar girl in the Millenial Fair, and the two of them go to see his friend Lucca's new invention that's being shown off at the fair. However, something goes terribly wrong, and the girl he meets (Marle,) gets transported back into 600AD. Crono goes into the transport as well to save her. After Crono has been transported, Lucca also transport back into 600AD to help Crono, and to tell him that Marle is the princess of the nearby castle of their village! Once they save her, Marle asks Crono to escort her home. When they come to the castle Marle lives in, the people accuse Crono of kidnapping her, and bring him to trial. He is put into jail for a couple of days, and will be executed afterwords. Lucca comes in to help Crono again, and the two of them escape into the nearby forest, with Marle joining them as well. While running away from the guards and Chancellor, they find another transport, this one taking them into 2300AD. They find the world to be very dark and depressing. It seems as if technology and monsters have overtaken man. While further exploring the area, they find a computer that shows them how the earth had been attacked by a monster named Lavos in 1999, which left it in its sorry state. Devastated, Marle, Lucca, and Crono swear that they will not let this happen to the world, no matter what it takes. Their heroic quest takes them to many different areas of time, including the End of Time. They meet many new friends to help them along the way, including Robo, Frog, Ayla, and the dark magician and former enemy Magus. They also help out many generations of people along the way, all in order to stop the evil that has corrupted the world since the dawn of time. This is one of the best video games ever made, and you should really give it a try.
