Lose to Lavos in any time period, any method
of getting to him. If you lose the fight against Lavos, you
see Lavos coming out of the earth, the command center in the
future collapses.
2. Programmers' Ending
Beat Lavos either at the Ocean Palace, or
before you rescue Queen Leene in 600 AD. You end up at the End
of Time. Each of the characters you see represent actual
members of the Chrono Trigger development team. They say a
variety of things: from saying hello to their family, jokes
about how long and hard they worked, boasting about what they
did, etc. One of them says: "Legendary Programming waiting for
that Special Someone. Keep those cards and letters
coming."
3. Leene Ending
Beat Lavos right after coming back from 600 AD
and saving the Queen. You end up at the Fair. Some people tell
Marle she is dressing normally, while others say she is in a
costume. When at the Castle, the King says they have just
found a 400 year old wedding movie. Frog and Queen Leene (or a
descendent) are married, and Marle's father is a frog.
4. Monster slapstick ending
Beat Lavos right after entering the End of
Time through the bucket. During the credits a Nu and a Ribbit
are chasing each other and doing various antics. The Nu keeps
falling asleep while the Ribbit is harassing it. "THE END" has
two 'Z's above it.
5. Robo/Tata ending
Beat Lavos after arriving in 600 AD, right
after returning from 2300 AD. The first scene shows Robo and
his wife (or girlfriend) in front of the Leene Bell in the
Future. The next scene shows Tata sitting on the throne with
King Guardia & Leene standing around. Tata jumps off the
throne, runs after Magus, only to find Crono, Marle, and Lucca
laughing at him.
6. War ending
Beat Lavos right after getting the Hero Medal from Tata.
During the credits, there are a number of clips of scenes with
the various characters. Most are about scenes that you
wouldn't see and characters you haven't met: Crono, Marle, and
Lucca coming out of the closet in the monster village; Kino
& Ayla chasing reptites; Magus at the cove with his three
henchmen; King Guardia & Queen Leene; Frog in the Cursed
Woods; and at the end Robo running across the screen.
7. Cast of characters
Beat Lavos right after returning from getting the Red
Stone in 65,000,000 BC. While the credits are rolling, various
still characters are displayed singular or in groups around
the credits.
8. Frog vs. Magus
Beat Lavos right after Frog releases the power of the
Masamune in 600 AD. During the credits you see scenes of Frog.
He defeats each of Magus' fiends, and then goes after Magus
himself. After the battle with Magus, you see Frog standing on
top of the statue above the gate to Magus' castle.
9. Reptite ending
Beat Lavos right after defeating Magus. The opening scene
is repeated, except that Crono and his Mother are Reptites!
When you go to the Millennial Fair, everyone there are
reptites as well, except for the Green Jogger, who is human.
After the credits, Azala is alone on the screen, and "THE END"
drops on her.
10. Frog and Magus II
Beat Lavos right after defeating Azala in 65,000,000 BC.
During the credits, you see a scene of Frog approaching a
statue with two chests.You also see a number of scenes with
Magus, Schala, and Janus.
11. Marle and Lucca's slideshow
Beat Lavos after Schala opens the sealed door in 12,000
BC. Do not power up the pendant though.
12. Millenial Fair Moonlight Parade (without Crono and Magus)
Beat Lavos right after beating Magus. If you defeat Magus,
he tells you that you have released the curse on the Frog.
However, during the rest of the game, Frog looks the same. If
you use the bucket to beat Lavos right after killing Magus,
but without restoring Crono, you end up at the Millennial Fair
similar to the ending if you don't fight Magus. However, the
only character you see in the middle part of the square is
Lucca. When you go into the north part of the fair, the other
characters (except for Crono and Magus, of course) come out of
the time gate. Except that Frog is now human, and Lucca thinks
he is quite a hunk! The other characters go back for Crono,
and Lucca & Marle go to see the king hand the bell. Then
they leave on Epoch while the king is stuck trying to hang the
bell (similar to the "Family Reunion" ending ) If you crashed
into Lavos with Epoch, the ending you get is almost the same
as the regular "No Crono" ending, except that Magus doesn't
appear.
13. Millenial Fair Monlight Parade (without Crono, but with Magus)
Beat Lavos after teaming with Magus. If you beat Lavos
before you restore Crono, you end up at the End of Time.
Everyone is lying on the ground. You can control the
characters, and when you talk the Guru, and he tells everyone
that the gate is closing and they have to leave. All the other
characters except Lucca and Marle leave to their respective
times. Marle arrives at the Fair, walks in the Moonlight
Parade by her self. She then sees the team members throughout
the fair crowd. When she goes back to the north part of the
fair, they are all there. The other characters go back for
Crono, and Marle sees her father, who asks her to install the
new bell he has made in her honor. She is carried off by the
balloons while the credits roll. She lands near a tree like
the one on Death Peak, and in the distance you can see Crono
coming. Marle runs towards him and the screen fades to
black.
14. Millenial Fair Moonlight Parade (with Crono, but without Magus)
Beat Lavos after beating Magus and saving Crono. If you
killed Magus, he doesn't appear in this ending, but the rest
is pretty much the same as the next ending. Also, if you
didn't get a clone before Crono is killed, talk to the Keeper
and he will tell you to go to the fair.
15. Millenial Fair Moonlight Parade (with Crono and Magus)
Beat Lavos after teaming with Magus and saving Crono. If
you defeat Lavos after restoring Crono, the opening scene of
the game is shown, except that it is a soldier waking Crono
up, saying he will be executed. The king pretends to be upset,
but then praises him for saving the past, present, and future.
If you let the Chancellor out of the chest after the "Rainbow
Shell" incident, he will be there; otherwise, it will be
Pierre, the lawyer. Several characters appear (Doan, King
Guardia from 600 AD, & Kino) saying what the team members
had done. Marle realizes that these characters are her
ancestors and descendants. After the Moonlight Parade at the
fair, the characters assemble at the north side of the fair
grounds and leave.
If you didn't crash Epoch into Lavos, then Crono's cat
jumps into the time gate, followed by Crono's mother. If you
got extra cats, they all jump in together. Crono, Lucca, and
Marle take the Epoch to find them. Meanwhile, the king is
stuck trying to hang the Nadia Bell.
If you crashed Epoch into Lavos, then the gate closes after
the team members leave, and Marle, Lucca, and Crono talk to
the King, who shows the Nadia Bell. Marle ends up holding some
balloons and starts to float away. Crono jumps on, and the two
of them float away while the credits roll.
Note: Variations on the Moonlight Parade endings:
The Fair endings will vary slightly depending on whether
or not you used the Epoch to get to Lavos, and whether or not
you saved Lara from being crippled. It also depends on how
many cats you have at Crono's house.
