How to Get the Secret "Development Room" Ending in Chrono Trigger

If you can manage to get the ending, you will be treated with special messages from the developers of the game.

Do not speak with Lucca, but instead examine the glowing spark that looks like a power tab near the machine on the right side of the screen. Chrono and Marle will be warped through time to the year 1999 A.D. and forced to fight Lavos, the final boss of the game.

Defeat Lavos in combat to be taken to the "Development Room" ending. You will still be able to control Chrono's movements throughout most of the ending, speaking with various characters named after the game's programmers who will talk about their favorite sports teams and give additional information about how to get the other endings.

Tips & Warnings
Be sure to spend a good amount of time having Chrono and Marle gain levels through combat, and take the time to acquire all of their best equipment in your first play through the game. Otherwise, the battle with Lavos will be nearly impossible on the second go-round.
