Sonic 2 early prototype, dumped

Does Simon Wai know about the unearthing of this prototype?
I can imagine him being quite impressed.

 

Yes, he has been informed, and he contacted drx via e-mail.

 

ok... this is a bit obvious, and may have been spotted before but two things:

1) if u play boss zone (final zone) in 2p tails can go further on without crashing - but there are 2 probs
-theres a bug where tails floor collision detection fizzles out and he falls
to his death (ie the floor keeps resyncing, then dissapears, of course
no debug for tails = no solution
-theres a loop just after the initial screen - but its '4-ring switch points'
(don't know proper name) isn't working, so you need debug to pass...
and if sonic does it... pink screen
2) sonic has some extra animation when changing direction

 

The name is path swapper. And it's not needed, Tails can just get directly in the "hole" without running for all the loop.
Again, I noticed this thing days ago and I made a video, but no one was interested.

 

link? I have webspace and can host if u want

 

This prototpe rocks! Nice one drx!

 

My bad. I meant, he emailed Qjimbo: http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?s=&...st&p=150359.

 

Ok guys, I've spent a couple hours creating some PAR codes for you little cheaters out there (I apologize if somebody else hacked these first).

FFFFE0:0001 Enable Level Select
FFFFFA:0001 Enable Debug Mode
FFFE2D:0002 Invincibility
FFFE12:0009 Infinite Lives
FFFE24:0001 Unlimited Time
FFFE21:0001 Always Have 1 Ring
FFFE21:0032 Always Have 50 Rings

Have fun.

 

FFFE21:00(any hex value)
Always Have (any value) Rings. :P :D

 

This makes me anxious for the next revision of Sonic Long version. A new cyber city and levels altered even further.

 

Uh, how will this make Sonic 2 long version even longer?

 

I wasn't really saying make it longer, but I would like to see the zones changed to match the ones here, at least the completed zones. But now that you mention it, he could make it longer by including the retooled Green hill zone. Unbroken hopefully.

 

But GHZ was never intentionally going to be in Sonic 2, so technically it really shouldn't be in there. I thought the aim of Sonic 2 Long version was to make a Sonic 2 that has all the completed levels if they were all included, and if they used layouts and things from an old beta they aren't really complete at all, nor 'longer'.

Don't take it personally though .

 

Maybe I'm confusing Long version with Delta.

 

O.M.G.

It's official people, I'm out of retirement. Just try and keep me away from this thing. Drx, you're my hero.

 

I came. :D

Nice to see you back. I was hoping someone would get the news to you so you'd break it apart... Work was started hurr.
