I can't seem to find this on the wiki. Appears to be Russian.

So I brought my PS3 round to my sister's house and got my 4 year old nephew to play Sonic for the first time. First I got him to play Sonic 2 SMS and while he managed to figure out jumping on enemies and getting on platforms, he struggled with hazards and didn't complete the act. He asked me to set up another game so I got him to play Sonic Advance and would you believe it he completed the first act without even dying.

It really surprised me just how unforgiving Sonic 2 is for the SMS and how genius the first act of Sonic Advance is. Advance gently introduces you to the game mechanics while Sonic 2 puts up loads of brick walls for you to jump over. That's not to say Sonic 2 is bad because I think the level design in that game is great, but in terms of accessibility, Advance does it brilliantly without making the act boring. I would say it's up there with the likes for Green Hill Zone.

Can someone rip me the full sprite sheet for Sonic and Super Sonic from Sonic 2 please. I'm doing my own sprites and I want to make sure I've covered every one. I've had a good look around the internet and there are some good collections. But I'm unsure if they are the complete list as I have noticed in some sets the odd sprite missing from my own observation of playing Sonic 2.

Some stuff I came across recently that I thought I just had to share. Came across a great remake of LBZ on Newgrounds which I thought really captured the feel of the original perfectly.

An amazing cover of SHZ which surprised me as you don't see many lurking about.



And the cover of Thunder Force IV Metal Squad. Must have listen to this just about 8 times in a row. Bloody love it.

I'm looking around retro archive and I can't seem to find the code to fix this issue in Sonic 1. I've added the spindash, and find it annoying that it becomes pointless to use it on the caterkiller because of this issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?
