Sonic Hack - Sonic 2 Archives

[@seinfeld2495]

I LOVE how jank this is. The weird walk and run animations - the music that's closer to the Masa demo tracks - all the old and unused enemies. It definitely has a "what if they let the American devs cook" kind of vibe to it.

[@FoxMan_FF]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- I really appreciate the efforts of people to try and recreate the Sonic 2 that could have been. Glad to see this is still being updated!

[@Myndnix]

I wasn't expecting the shifted pitch in percussion, that immediately made me flinch.

Thanks for playing I'm beta tester of this rom hack Stay tuned for more!

Things are improving around here. The transition to Hidden Palace was unexpected.

[@RoseSupreme]

Easily one of my top favourite Sonic 2 Beta recreations to date! I hope they plan on adding more cut or altered zones, like Genocide/Cyber City Zone.

[@somerobloxdude3699]

They actually have Ocean Wind Zone

Compare this version to the preview in the shc spotlight and jeez, its like night and day Changing the focus from beta themed hack to beta themed hack with visual improvements really helped it lol

THANK GOD they used the *RIGHT* music track for Hidden Palace; it actually _feels_ like Hidden Palace now!!!!

[@Cr102y]

That isn’t the right one,the prototypes pretty much debunked that.

[@MrIzaiah2007YT]

I really like these alternate DAC Drum samples on the entire game's soundtrack. These being emerald Hill act 1/act 2, The boss theme, and Metropolis Act 1. And no I'm not talking about the sonic 1 prototype drum sample. It's a different sounding snare sample that played on the ym2612's PCM channel. Also here's a fun fact: During the game's development, the game had a time traveling mechanic leaving 5 timelines, But the time traveling mechanic was mysteriously abandoned and was later revived by one of the best-selling Sega CD games out there: Sonic CD

[@maxrichards5925]

That top speed running sprite looks so weird. It looks like someone just cut sonic in half with how much his upper half is shifted towards the right

[@shiny-slapper2010]

It Was A Deleted Run Sprite In The Original Sonic 2, And If You Think About It, It's Almost Like How Cartoon Characters Run, that might have been what they were going for.

[@77PacerStudios]

​@@shiny-slapper2010Speaking of cartoons, the "cartoon running sprite" and Tails being brown makes it a bit similar to "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Sonic SatAM", which depicted Tails being brown.

[@WeeNeer_Chaneel]

I'm a beta tester here, but thanks for playing!

[@spleedsnow]

i can't just stop asking why Tails is darker. If only Sonic 2 would have been released in 1993 or later, having all the unused content (songs, zones, time travel), we practically won't need Sonic CD (or maybe yes, who knows).

[@eddytf07]

I am a beta tester of this ROM hack. Thank you so much for playing)

Sonic 2 if it never released inside Japan:

This hack makes Tails look like a 2-Bit Squirrel than a 2-Bit Fox.

The new walking animation is wrong. In early versions, Sonic 1's Walking Animation was recolored for Sonic 2 use, scrapped shortly before Nick Arcade.

[@EzSaturn]

New UPDATE YEEEAH

[@Theargballer1234]

Sonic 2 extended but more complete

This is what it would have been if usa make his own sonic 2

Ребята вы крутые благодаря вам двоим я узнал о серии sonic the hedgehog.У меня вообще если честно весь комп наполнен хаками про соника и есть эмулятор кега фьюжн спасибо за счастливое детство, я поражаюсь вообще как так идеально можно проходить подобные хаки пожалуйста не игнорьте

[@nikpi5703]

А мы будем такие хаки делать :р

[@ClexYoshi]

that full speed running sprite looks incredibly fugly and I'm kinda glad Sega did another pass to make sure something like that didn't get into sonic 2. other than that, this is probably the most polished Sonic 2 beta asset repackaging hack I've seen!

[@waypastcoolkid]

Y’all think they’re gonna incorporate the Time Travel mechanic somehow?

[@TristanLackey]

It's not impossible, Sonic 2 CD Remix did it

[@CloggedUrethra445]

it wasn't a mechanic, time travel in sonic 2 was apart of the story. I'm sure eventually they're gonna add time travel though

[@jonathanhersey8313]

I joined the server. Is there any resources for new version rom hacks of this? It's amazing!

[@coolguy140-np7oj]

i love then sonic do the suer run sprites is look cursed but i love this mod

[@EmmetDaMarbleLol]

i really do not like sonic's new top speed sprite where he leans forward, it just doesnt look good imo

[@FoxMan_FF]

That was in the betas too! I honestly don't like it either- it looks like Sonic's torso is detached from his body!

[@EmmetDaMarbleLol]

@@FoxMan_FF i dont mind the swirly legs and new walking sprite, just his torso not being attached to his legs looks weird and you can visibly see him get taller when he reaches top speed which is pretty jarring imo. some of the music changes are quite odd too.

[@nikpi5703]

Ok, we will change it

[@FoxMan_FF]

Oh hey, dev in chat! You don't have to change anything if you don't want to- I respect the authenticity. _(Plus at the end of the day it is your work, you guys are entitled to do whatever you please, but I do appreciate that you're listening to comments)_

[@nikpi5703]

​@FoxMan_FF Ik, just like every person say so about this animation. If players get discomfort while playing, we should change it

Seems great overall but the snare drum is not good, sorry.

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

GOOD LORD TAILS IS BROWN. ...wait is that why he's colored like that in satam?

[@nikpi5703]

Yup. SatAM and AoSTH design were based on early Tails' design

I kinda like it tho

@@nikpi5703It was actually a mistake,Tails was always meant to have his in-game colors.

Sonic: Eggman’s Conquest is such a very awful game. I saw the redhotsonic stream when they featured that game and they hated that ROM hack. You guys should really quit progress on Sonic: Eggman’s Conquest.

In fact, those two projects are by one team, but on Conquest works mostly another people, but I'll tell conquest leader about your message ^_^
