Metal Knuckles in Knuckles in Sonic 2

A faithful recreation of one of Knuckles' most badass mechanical rivals in Knuckles in Sonic 2. The whole thing was made from the ground up! I'm very proud of it :3
The Metal Sonic race in Death Egg Zone gets a little bit more nuance to it for Knuckles ^w^ Felt like adding this to Sonic 2 CD Remix, hope you like the new update to the rom hack / mod :3

Very cool. Can't wait for this hack to be completed. Followed this for a long time 👍

[@Kyezoar]

Legit one of the most obscure sonic characters in the games.

Can’t wait for Knuckles in Metal Knuckles in Metal Sonic 2

[@PaintoOfficial]

This first phase made me remember playing S Factor, I always had to use savestates to beat these metal bosses in it Good job on the boss, sometimes I miss coding my own ones

[@MooshuMusic]

This looks awesome! Great job! This hack just keeps getting better and better!

[@RoseSupreme]

I admire the appreciation for Chaotix's "Surprise" theme. So underrated.

[@dabluepittoo-aqua4213]

The fight looks better than ever! While the little minibattle is a bit too simplistic, it's just supposed to be a mini phase before the race begins. You've done well for what little material you got to work with.

[@Pacca64]

Glad the idea came through! Many people already struggle with the race, so I didn't want to make it too hard.

[@DelayRGC]

Nice one!

[@semosayba]

Is tails doll gonna be there if you play as tails

[@Pacca64]

Probably not. Metal Sonic seems like a reasonable opponent for him to fight. Maybe as an easter egg, but I doubt it.

[@adamkowalski1226]

@@Pacca64 i like this, but how do you make custom bosses? (i know that You need a hex editor but i bet i could change anything to the boss behavior at all, i would proably softlock the game while trying to Edit a boss but IT makes the game softlock)

[@adamkowalski1226]

@@Pacca64 also, will there be cd music?

[@meluartgalindo2696]

Oh damn even the boss has attacks too This is pretty well made

[@katiasantos8146]

Ideas: 1. Marble Zone: Bad Future should look like Quartz Quadrant Zone: Bad Future (just the background). And make a remix for it 2. Amy's sprites should look like the NPC Amy's sprites 3. Spring Yard Zone: Good Future should look like Collision Chaos Zone: Good Future 4. Fix Super Sonic's sprites from the CD style cuz they are just yellow Sonic sprites 5. Green Hill Zone: Past should look like the Tokyo Toy Show mixed with Palmtree Panic (Past) (Bigger Mountains and add the Goblin enemy if possible and for Palmtree Panic just add the trees from the background) 6. Spring Yard Zone: Past should look like Sparkling Zone (from the Sonic 1 Beta) 7. The Good Futures should have no enemies, like in Sonic CD 8. In the Bad Futures the enemies should have a broken texture, like in Sonic CD 9. The Past stages should have the Metal Sonic Hologram, like in Sonic CD 10. Metropolis Zone: Bad Future should look like Metallic Madness Zone: Bad Future

[@zacknattack]

So is it only Metal Knuckles that has that first phase? If so, are other bosses going to be harder for Knux like in S3&K?

[@Pacca64]

It is only metal knuckles that gets it. The other bosses will likely remain unchanged though. Glad you picked up the reference to his S3K boss gameplay though!

[@adamkowalski1226]

I have an idea for death egg zone past IT would Look like it was still being built and prototype versions (different looking versions of death egg bosses with different behavior) And it would have a more gray-ish fire ground pallete

[@gafi6471]

Nice

[@FlipeTheBased]

Is Metal Knuckles playable in this hack?

[@Pacca64]

I couldn't do this if I wanted to; the sprite sheet doesn't have enough sprites. I had to build the boss fight around the limited artwork even; my original plan was for metal knuckles to grab onto the wall, but there are no sprites for that.

[@FlipeTheBased]

@@Pacca64 Oh I see, and that's pretty sad. But still It would be nice to see Metal Knuckles playable

[@GrandMasterGalvatron]

@@Pacca64 I can make those if you want. These are the sprites I made for S Factor, and I was working on expanding his animations before I lost my setup

[@Pacca64]

@@GrandMasterGalvatron That would be really cool. I might be able to add the original idea as another movement/attack option for him to spice the battle up a bit if you draw new wall grabbing frames.

[@DelayRGC]

@@Pacca64 Maybe also an animation of Metal Knuckles falling down and getting back up before the race? Him just "standing" there is a bit awkward.

[@Chokun-Gaming]

I like that Megadrive version of SSBF, did you make it or borrow it?

[@Pacca64]

It was made by A-S-H, someone in the hacking community who specializes in Music.

[@cheesuschrist300]

very cultured friend. crab game is the best

The title like: SUS The video like: COOL 😎

Syobon action in sonic 2

[@sernimator6268]

Why Stardust Speedway bad future sounds better than original in megadrive version?

[@Arch-bx8wz]

how to get to Chemical Plant and Aquatic Ruin in 2021 demo

[@Pacca64]

You cannot. they are not in that demo.

[@TheSebasMaster]

what’s the ost

[@Pacca64]

The prerace/fight theme is 'surprise' from knuckles chaotix, and the race theme is stardust speedway bad future from sonic cd

[@TheSebasMaster]

@@Pacca64 alright thanks bud

[@bankasupa]

Is this hack public?

[@Pacca64]

Yes and no. This race sequence is part of sonic 2 cd remix, which has appeared in a few SHC demos. The new fight at the beginning has not been released yet, however.
