S2BETA4 discussion

if you don't even know that.. you shouldn't be posting here.

 

Interesting...Metropolis 3 leads into Aquatic Ruin Zone.

EDIT: Interesting #2 - Metropolis 2 leads into Sky Chase Zone.

 

Wow, was just asking a question. No need to be a douche

These... or at least this one doesn't work right. It moves but if Sonic stands still it just slides under his feet. You have to walk to keep up with it.

 

Which seems to fit perfectally with the betas we have here. Just kinda neat

 

and I checked, the others are exactly the same.

 

Some Differences I noticed
In HTZ 2, the area that contains the invincibility in the earthquake room is blocked off
In HTZ 2, there is an annoying flame badnik right at the beginning of the level
Different Special Stage Layouts and Palettes
In MCZ 1, the invincibility in the rotating box area is an extra life
In CNZ the crushing blue platforms number significantly more than in the final
In EHZ 1, whilst doing a speed run, you fall through one of the loops and die
The WFZ laser destroys the spiked platforms
Slow Silver Sonic in DEZ
Invincibility stars are different, and mess up at weird angles.
There are some extra platforms in ARZ

 

The Crocodile enemy is still in the game in its rightful object ID, 4E. But it seems its art for it was deleted.

 

that poor Crocodile
funny I was just watching One Piece movie 8 so originally when I read "crocodile" for a split second I thought you meant the guy from One Piece XD

I wonder if other levels would display him better

 

In the 2 player mode, there is no time limit for second player when the first is at the signpost.
Also, when you have invicibility, and get the place swich monitor, you don't keep the invicibility (nor the second played gets it), but the music still plays.
Edit: ALSO, the eggman monitor does nothing.
EDIT2: ALSO, when first player is at the signpost, and second gets the swich monitor, the 1st player wins instantly.

 

I am making a disassembly of this Beta (10% done). (Restoring lost levels in asm is more easy than hex).

 

Super, now everyone can start hacking S2B 4. Then again, it seems wrong hacking it... Im gonna stop posting now seeing as im pending...

 

Just some differences in case anyone missed them...

This spring was added in the final.
Whoa, that's a lot of rings... some of these apparently moved over here: as those are absent in the beta.

For whatever reason, there is an extra hornet enemy here... in the final they removed it probably because it flew over just at the right time for Sonic to hit it just about all the time.

Also, the often used "look up" and "look down" don't work in this beta for whatever reason, I'm not sure if they work in any of the others as this only concerns beta 4.

 

Mystic Cave Zone is correctly labeled on 2P menu.



EDIT: Now retard-free.

 

...that's the two player level select.

*facepalm*

 

It's from the 2-player mode.

Also notice that it's labeled Mystic Cave Zone instead of Dust Hill.

EDIT: Just realized its 2p Mode. Wow that was retarded V_V[/quote]
YOU ARE WINNER!

 

...

this is why I didn't want to disabled the test to get in. That, the guy who asked how to use debug and the guy posting like 3 times for people to post links to the betas.

 

2-player Time Over plays Wing Fortress Zone music. Also, the 2-player special stages do not allow Sonic and Tails to switch lead positions by jumping. Tails can only go in front of Sonic if Sonic hits a bomb.

 

I concur.
