I was kinda inspired by those crazy "Don't touch the rings they're bad" hacks to make a similar hack of my own. Mine's slightly different though, if you would like to give it a try. I wanna keep what happens a surprise though, at least until some people try it. http://www.filefactory.com/file/b2873d2/n/Sonic_2_XL.zip
Hack of the year. Every year. + - Those sprites not only made me laugh (a first in a 'joke' hack, I can assure you) but look really good too! Kudos, Sir!
Usually when people say things like "hack of the year every year", it's the ironic hyperbole which is so often popular on the internet, or simply exaggeration. Usually. Utterly fantastic.
.. this is amazing. Requesting a full sheet of those sprites. Something as wonderful as this should be shown in full.
True story. This hack was going to be called Sonic and the Onion Rings, but Ranger said that Sonic 2 XL is a better name, and I agree :3 That's what those are supposed to be btw. I'm a horrible spriter XD
here you go took a freakin week ALSO: Known bug, don't get a ? monitor with speed shoes. It breaks stuff.
I god I love this. Gotta show it to some friends in school. You should enter this to the Hacking Contest. =P
Oh man I lol'd. This art of making hacks of Sonic games to increase the difficulty in some minor but clearly notable ways should have it's own section in the wiki.
