Turning Back Time

Sonic Gems Collection Boxshot 
Sonic Gems Collection (PS2)

My daughter had finally got bored with some of the games for the PS3. So she decided to play my old PS2 game. My PS2 is still alive and well and is attached to a rather old (but usable) flat screen television. The game she currently playing is Sonic R in the Sonic Gems Collection. Although the cover is in Japanese, all the games inside are very much in English.
She played the Tag and Balloon mode. Whereas in Tag, she have to capture / Tag all the other characters that would try to run away. In Balloon mode, she have to find all the balloons scattered all over the stage. Since this is her new found talent (to control a character in a 3d third person environment) I was wondering whether I should help to unlock all the characters for her. As for now she is playing as the default character such as Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and Amy. Although she still enjoys the game, she sometime asked why some of the characters in the select screen has "X" slashed on their portrait. And I said that she can use the Yellow Sonic in this game which got her eyes shining for a moment there.
As I will definitely delve deeper into the game to unlock all the characters, I am hesitating whether or not I should log this game into my gaming log. This is because if I start, I would need to put all my PS2 titles into the log, and update accordingly inside My Backloggery and not to forget my Gamespot account as I have a couple if not 3 hundred or so title and even listing them all would take ages, or maybe I should list them as I play?
Let the thoughts run for a while, but I will definitely unlock all the character for Batrisyia's first.
