    Metal Sonic Rebooted is a complete heavy modification of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with extensive amount of new art, layouts, mechanics, music, and features that in total creates a different experience.

    Nonexistent Story:
    Dr'Robotnik has built an advanced army of badniks to search for the Chaos Emeralds, and it's up to Metal Sonic to find the emeralds before them by destroying everything in his way to show Robotnik he shouldn't be replaced.

    • Diagonal Aerial Dash (Super only) - or + A/B after jumping. (cost 5 RINGS)
    • Overclocked Mode - press C after jumping. Requires 200 Rings to overheat Metal Sonic for extended invincibility and speed that quickly drains your Rings to death. Can also turn Super with All 7 Chaos Emeralds and 50 Rings.

    • Monitors can be randomized as a toggleable option.
