Alright, could we all not hack my hack, please? [/quote]
Honestly, I wouldn't consider using PAR codes as a 'hack' to the game, since all it does is modify RAM while the game is running. In my mind, a hack would be a change that's permanent within the game (e.g. hex hacking cheats into the game). Technecially, if Super Sonic has problems, I'd consider it a bug in the game... but there's no way to grab the emeralds in-game, is there?

Still, absolutely love the concept! I have to ask though, do you have any plans to see if you can pull off a miracle and port the bosses from Sonic 3K into the game for a continuous boss slug fest? :P

Man, I can't wait to see what you come out with next!

 

Maybe if the space between each boss reflected the zone it was representing, you could have enough rings in there to go Super. My suggestion would be to limit the amount of rings so you can get 50+ rings, but only during select pauses. Any other pause would require you to have not got hit during the previous boss.

You could possibly even have everything cut in half, so you could have a mix of S1 and S2 boss's in a SBZ setting, then have the other half in DEZ. And if you do the extended intermissions, you could port the S1 Special Stages and have a mix of them, but still have them add up to 7.

If you go as far as adding the S3K boss's and mini-boss's, you can even have DEZ (S3K) as a third part.

 

My time attack results, no cheating or anything. I find survival amusing too.

 

Damn this is awesome. this is what S2's Death Egg should have been in my opinnion. In Sonic 2 it just feels too small for a large Space Station

 

Sonic 3k is no longer my "gaming ability training area".

Awesome job. You should put dynamic boss musics on this hack, and S3K bosses just like people said before.

 

I figured out what caused the bug I mentioned above, but good news, it should be nearly impossible to activate under normal circumstances (I.e. not Super Sonic or a TAS).

How to activate it? Once the CNZ boss is defeated, hug the wall that disappears on the right with Super Sonic and race as quickly as you can to the SYZ boss once it's gone (EDIT: You just have to get the exploding CNZ Robotnik offscreen as fast as possible). The screen will unlock, and the entire bug unfolds.

 

16:14:54, no cheating/savestates.

This is an awesome, awesome hack. Hell, I'm going to play it again later.

 

Played it, loved it!

I never managed to get past the CNZ boss. I just cut it off after facing him a few times.

But I'd love for this to be on Hacktube so I can play it at school

 

One of the best hacks I have seen to date and indeed most original.

Now if you could integrate the S3&K bosses and the OPTION for savestates or an easy/medium/hard I think you would have an ultimate hack for those who like the boss parts (like me)

 

I'm assuming you mean savefiles? Because Savestates aren't actually part of the game, they are a feature/naughty naughty cheat function in emulators.

 

sorry I meant save files.

I also forgot to mention, can you please have the music change to something else e.g. S1 boss music to S1 boss? one thing that drove me insane was hearing the S2 boss all the time.

 

Oh hey, I thought I replied to this already.

This hack is awesome. You took a simple idea and made it excellent, a very nice clean hack. It works perfect on jenesisDS by the way.

Most people complain about the S2 music being on constantly, and it does get annoying :P but it's not that bad.

I got 11 minutes and something, A rank, on my first try. Only died once.

 

I love the Sonic 2 boss theme the most out of all the Sonic boss themes. However I think it would be nice to have like Death Egg music playing the whole time.

 

I am declaring this hack to be better than Megamix, Advanced Edit, Extended, and Chaos combined.

I <3 you now.

Also, please please PLEASE port S3K bosses. 17 bosses is not enough bosses.

 

Geez, some bosses from Sonic 3K may present a challenge to implement. But if it ever happens, it's going to be rock. Question though to Colin, how long did it take you create this wonderful version of the game?

Also an idea, why not go from the Mecha Sonic boss, to the S1 Final Zone boss, and use the Robotnik running animation from after defeating that boss, and make him run to jump into the suit of the S2 Final boss? Wouldn't that look better for the transition?

 

S3k bosses are real bitches to work with. (Even more than s1's/s2's =P )

 

Is it just me, or does the game lock up in Regen before getting to the Wing Fortress Zone boss?

 

Actually, rather than have the S1/S2 music for each boss, I'd rather have maybe one REALLY LONG song that loops after 5 minutes instead; it would be far less repetitive -- and the music wouldn't keep changing into boss theme -- DEZ theme -- boss theme -- etc. which felt a bit choppy and just as repetitive.

 

Been playing solidly all night and got my time down to 7:48:99 without cheating.
