Maybe it's because of all the Android skips, but I'm finding that Tails is my best character by a wide, wide margin. He can do everything the speed-types can and more, and power characters are really only good in their own level. Makes me really wish I had more than a snowball's chance of unlocking Rouge or Cream, but I am NOT treating this thing like a part-time job again like I did for Classic Sonic.

The video's encoded at 30fps, while Sonic 2 runs at 60fps. A lot of the animations in the classic series, like shields, emeralds, and even the fast-spinning variation of Sonic's jump will look very odd at 30. That's probably what's causing it to seem off.

I can't find it, but this reminded me of that Generations video from years ago where Sonic spends like five minutes trying to reach a spring. I won't spoil the ending for those who haven't seen it. Hopefully someone saved the link.

I did it. Download the game on your new device. I recommend making sure it'll work by playing a bit of the tutorial. Then there's a "data transfer" box in the upper-left of the title screen. Enter your info in there. Everything seemed to go smoothly, though I think I read something about your Red Star Rings not transferring, so make sure you use those.

Also, the game stupidly will no longer be playable on your old device once you do this. Considering it has server-side saving and must always be online, it's ridiculous that it's locked to one device.

I recommend everyone who's put time into it take a screenshot of your transfer ID screen and store it somewhere safe, just in case something happens.

Yeah, you never really stop noticing that. What's really fun is reading some of the comments. I saw one on Reddit that was like, "This is the best Sonic game in 20 years!" Near the top of the thread, too.
