How Many Endings Does Chrono Trigger Have

It is well known that Chrono Trigger has multiple endings, and it is even explicitly mentioned in the original manual for the SNES version that depending on where you are when you defeat the final boss, you wil get a different ending. How many unique endings does Chrono Trigger have, and what are the unlock conditions for each of the endings? Square has a long history of making great games, and Chrono Trigger is no exception. Here are the endings that I have found for Chrono Trigger. I include the soonest that you can get each ending. If you find anything else out, get an ending sooner, or get a different ending, please send e-mail to email protected.

Part 26: Ending: The Oath

Finally, the endings get right back to being interesting again.
This one requires beating Lavos after recruiting Frog but before defeating Magus. Which means defeating Lavos despite going through all the effort to prepare Frog for that showdown he never gets.

So we start off with quite a racket being made, before we fade in to...
Peaceful Days
...Lucca's house. Everyone's just chilling besides a tense-looking Frog.

My apologies, Lucca...
It's not your fault. We're the one's [sic] who created weapons...
Phew...all right.

I think the localization of the endings were rushed a bit, that's two errors already.
Frog got all hyped up for his epic showdown against Magus, only for Crono and crew to fool him into helping them kill Lavos instead. He's not really in the mood to kick back and relax.
Instead of using JERK like I've been doing for these endings, I cheated my main file to keep the names intact.
I regret doing that now because this really is a JERK-style ending.
Interestingly enough, there's official art depicting this ending.
Confusing Melody
The credits now start popping up between scenes.
With the others not helping him, Frog decides to take on Magus and his castle alone.

That means having to face Slash...
...and Flea...
...and all one hundred monsters in Magus's Castle.
SILENCE
And Ozzie too but to be fair he doesn't really count.
Frog's Theme
Instead of foreboding silence, Frog's Theme blares for this bit where he triumphantly makes his way down to where Magus stands. Frog makes no effort of the forces within the castle, mere distractions before his inevitable duel against the wizard.
SILENCE
And things play out similarly as before...

Except this time, of course, Frog is alone.
