In before I go back to work tomorrow!

• Fully ported to the newer disassembly with Flamewing's sound driver (thanks to Tiddles for help with this).
  
• Fixed AIZ HUD, by swapping entries $1A and $1E in the palette and relevant art.
  
• Music keeps playing if you die and restart the level (like in Sonic ERaZor).
  
• All characters can now complete all routes in AIZ without it breaking. (Though Knuckles in Sonic's midboss is a bit shifted over to the right. Also, try Knuckles+Tails in Sonic's route for a minor easter egg at the transition into HCZ.).
  
• Knuckles+Tails and Amy can now complete CNZ via the teleporter.
  
• ICZ now remembers which route you are on properly if you die.
  
• Amy can now break out of MHZ vines by jumping and using air attack.
  
• Tails and Knuckles no longer turn into Sonic when the slots bonus stage fades out.
  
• Amy no longer crashes in the slots bonus stage.
  
• Amy no longer incorrectly goes into her hammer dash animation in the magnet ball bonus stage.
  
• Life/continue/Eggman icons on the save screen are now in the correct colors and are no longer glitched up for new characters.
  
• Characters can now complete LBZ without it breaking - Amy is currently forced to take Sonic's route at the end of LBZ1, but at the end of LBZ2 if you are playing as Knuckles+Tails or Amy (+Tails) you have the choice of route - either route will let you complete the zone and continue to MHZ.

For this release the super power meter and special stage via bonus stage entrance have been turned off, since most people don't like them. A customiser will come eventually.

now I must sleep

Is it just me, or is there some connection between these two songs?



I just ask since Metal Harbor suddenly sprang into my mind after hearing the bonus stage theme too many times while trying to fix a bug with it...

Pretty sure this is fixed for the next release.

Which is being delayed because I'm porting everything to a clean disasm and I'd made a lot more changes than I thought...

Amy going into the slots bonus stage crashing the game was a known bug, but I wasn't aware you could get as far as seeing anything - for me it always crashed as soon as the normal level faded out, before the bonus stage even got a chance to appear. I don't see how having a bubble shield could affect this though...

Oh crap, I just tested this myself and you do need Hyper Amy for this...

You can hit Eggman with the hammer, but there's no way to hit without taking a hit yourself first, and the rings go offscreen too fast to get more than 2 hits (or 3 with a shield) in before dying.

Good job you can farm emeralds, right? :p

Wow, just wow. Launch Base is no more of a "Dimps" level than Hydrocity or Ice Cap.

Also just because you get hit a hundred times doesn't make the level stupid. It's the final zone of Sonic 3, it's supposed to be hard.

With that out the way, most of the issues you raised are already fixed in the next release - Act 2 music and graphics load properly now, and Amy gets in the Eggpod properly (and as a bonus, so does Knuckles, if you manage to get him over that way). Also Amy can now clear Knuckles' act 2 bosses and get to MHZ. The only remaining issue is that the top and bottom of the boss box, and the one scaffold at the edge of the boss arena are still glitched.

I did enjoy your comments on Amy in the Eggpod though, as well as "now would be a perfect time for big arm to come out" :P
