Sonic 2: Archives (SHC '23 Demo) ✪ Walkthrough (1080p/60fps)

[@KperaOfficial]

FUN FACT: tails is brown in aosth and satam because DIC received an early desing of tails to use on there shows, that means that in early stages of development of sonic2, tails WAS brown

[@KatanaNovaCat]

According to the Cutting Room Floor Wiki, Tails was only brown for 2 or 3 days, and wasn't really intended to stay that way. TL;DR: brown Tails was a rough test with screwy temporary colors. Somehow, that test got handed to DiC as a character design reference, even though it was never meant to be one. Long version: The brown version of Tails was an early test which was most likely made to see what could be done using Sonic 1's player color palette, because the developers knew they needed him to share a palette with Sonic and were figuring out how to make that work. They didn't like the results of using Sonic 1's colors and reworked the palette pretty much immediately. Tails sprites with early temporary colors probably resulting from that palette test got printed out on a bad printer known to mangle colors, as a reference for the shape and size of the sprite; pretty much everyone at SEGA Technical Institute knew that anything printed using that printer should never be used as a color reference. The design and printed-out sprites were used by the devs very, very briefly. But DiC and some marketing people got handed those bad print-outs of that outdated temporary palette, which were only meant to be seen by people working on the game itself, and the devs don't know why or how that happened and are very confused.

Tails doesn't look that brown to me in the SatAM cartoon version.

[@MrCostard27]

The brown palette was a printing error, Tails was never brown. In the SHC 2024 version of the hack, Tails goes back to his normal palette since the team figured that out.

Wow this hack actually gives the impression on what sonic 2 was supposed to be based if, all with the scrapped levels and a time travel idea that never got to final realease! Also WHATS UP WITH TAILS??!!!

[@Grigrithereal]

tails was supposed to be brown

[@KatanaNovaCat]

Tails was brown for a couple days early in development, while the developers were figuring out what colors they wanted to use. (And images of this design that got used by the game devs for less than a week somehow got used as references by people making promotional images, merch, and cartoons, even though those images weren't meant to be used as color references or seen by anyone outside the dev team.)

[@AE.mp3]

One of the most inspired Wood Zone custom bosses I’ve seen in a hack.

[@RoseSupreme]

Sonic's walking sprites look kinda jank with how he barely stretches his arms out during his jog.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

15:34 Tails ran into Sonic and got knocked back, was that in the prototype game or was that just a knod to Sonic Adventure? Sonic gets the 7th Chaos Emerald and then Gets Automatically Transported to The Hidden Palace Zone, touches a Shape that looks like an emerald and transforms somewhat into Super Sonic inspite only having 15 rings and is transported to the game Map, what was the reasoning behind it all, did you ever complete Hidden Palace Zone? 33:40 Sonic gets knocked back by the cog, i guess that is what wall recoil is? After Metropolis Zone is beaten you are sent back to Hidden Palace Zone and then touch an emerald shape and warp like you do in Sky Sanctuary Zone in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, what was that for?

[@nikpi5703]

1) It's wall recoil from protorype 2) Hidden Palace at this moment is not fully finished (as whole game), and now it's how you can done zone. 3) It's a bug of collisions. Will be fixed, I hope 4) It's Warp Point, not Hidden Palace. There will be time traveling, and after warp point- you'll come to another time period (medieval, past and etc)

[@user-ly1ko6be9t]

Nope its a wall recoil hypothetical

[@PkVibyn]

Curious to know what’s the source of that drum sample, is it something that can be found unused in official prototypes of Sonic 2 or just something they took liberties with

[@odog4547]

It's an unused sample from Sonic 1 if memory serves me right, probably also in sonic 2 aswell due to them sharing the same drum samples

[@thardump859]

It's just the same standard drum sample from Sonic 1/2. But pitched lower like it was in the prototype of the first game that leaked.

[@ssg-eggunner]

I like the lower pitched snare better but I don't see why S2 beta would use it S1 final was high pitched

[@MLG_Goombah]

some sneak peaks: there is winter zone, hidden palace zone, cyber city zone and flying fortress zone

[@donnydebruijn424]

I got Sonic megamix vibes from this.

[@henrythestickman124]

L hope There's more Update of the awesome rom hack

[@edgardeitz5746]

As a suggestion, if this game is all about reimplementing scrapped ideas, why not create the scrapped sidekick (Boomer the Turtle)? Also, work in the Sonic Bounce Shoes / Tails Jet Shoes moniter and item from the 8 bit games

[@sergk393]

Sonic Bounce Shoes are already in one place, and they work)

[@tonyjih]

That brown tails just looks wrong to me......

[@Ellemunro-mw7tr]

makes me feel nostalgic...I guess

[@AjPrototypez-g4c]

I have played it and its awesome

[@charliekahn4205]

Weird suggestion, but maybe there should be an additional objective involving ring collection and checkpoints after getting Super Sonic. The idea would be that the levels are designed both for this collect-a-thon gameplay and for the usual speedrunning, but currently you cant experience the levels in the collect-a-thon way after getting all seven emeralds, which can be in just a few levels, but if there were another thing to do that required a lot of rings, that would add more give and take to using Super Sonic rather than it just being a reward. Is there something planned for this game along those lines (especially with the new checkpoint design)?

I like tails brown.

[@nathanielhermanson6987]

They should put future and past signposts like in Sonic CD to transport to go back or forward time. For example, You go to the past version of Green Hill Zone, and it would be Hill Top Zone.

[@nikpi5703]

It's not how it should work

[@Theargballer1234]

Sonic 2s time travel was different to sonic cds time travel
