Sonic 2: S3 Edition

Just a few things I've noticed that I didn't see mentioned:


Sometimes speed shoes don't wear off until entering a special stage (not sure what triggers it or if going to the act 1 boss would stop it as it only happened once in EHZ1).


Tails cannot pick up Sonic while flying.


Other things I've seen mentioned:


Getting near the top of the screen at the start of CPZ1 (either by the platform to nowhere or flying) temporarily glitches the background and shows water at the top.


Emeralds do not show up on the file select screen.


Suggestions I have to make this better:


If you could add in Knuckles, then it would effectively remove the need for separate S2 and S2K roms. Possibly even pave the way for more characters than that.


Getting rid of the player select in the options menu would be a good idea, I mean, there's already a no save available from the save menu.


Perhaps adding some of those lost levels... particularly, I'd like to see Wood Zone, Dust Hill Zone, and Hidden Palace Zone and an actual level for Death Egg Zone because it has the best music in the game and I'd like to hear more than 3 seconds of it without having to just stand there.


All in all, I really like it. If you get it to be bug free then as it stands now it would be the best version of S2 out there.

As it has been a looong time since I updated this I decided to release the Hacking Contest build.


Please keep in mind that I didn't have a lot of time to work on it this year so this isn't a huge update.


It mostly fixes a lot of annoying bug issues.


New features:


Title Screen WIP


Save screen art WIP


Signpost works just like in S3&K in EHZ and CPZ


1 new mini boss CPZ (incomplete, doesn't do anything right now.)


New charater


Hidden Monitors at the end of act 1 (EHZ & CPZ only)


Currently using Sonic 1 Sound Driver


Lots of bug fixes!


Enjoy!


Thanks to all who helped out!
