NEW UPDATE!: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...131836973076/Sonic_2_Pink_Edition_Rev_1.9.bin * The secret level has been extended tremendously and is now available to every character. Very special thanx to campbellsonic for coding most of the unique elements. * Contest is over so character spoilers are no longer needed. It's Big by the way everyone. :P * Big and Cream Mode added. Very special thanx to JDPense for some VRAM tricks to get this running. * A couple short cuts added in CPZ and HTZ. * Fixed character select in level select to not activate with Sound Test highlighted. Known bugs: * Big and Cream mode still has the odd bug, such as some graphical problems in special stages. * Cheese will sometimes attack automatically. As some may have seen a second secret level is planned but it's gonna require more extensive work to complete, so I've decided to just upload what I have otherwise until then. NEXT TIME...
And it's FINALLY time again... New revision out: * A new secret level added. Look around the high path of Metropolis Act 1 and search for hints (thanx many people at the Retro discord for testing and helping program assets). * Amy's sprite set has been redone to look more in style with the game. * A larger extra route added to Chemical Plant Act 1. * I've configured Big's body slam to work with a down command like Amy's slam attack, since I thought it was too easy to activate by accident. If people don't like this edit, I'll undo it next time. * Edited SEGA screen (thanx DeltaWooloo and RandomName). * Faster bootup (thanx DeltaWooloo) * Fixed a bug that prevented water rising in Chemical Plant Act 2. * Fixed a bug that allowed players to enter the initial secret level in 2 Player VS mode (special thanx to a Youtuber who posted this glitch :P). Known bugs: * Collision might still be wonky in areas of the new level. Art priority also still needs to be adjusted. * Remaining cases of Cream and Big's attack flags not clearing when landing on certain objects (I swear no matter how many times I do this they keep returning). * Cream's special stage sprite still glitchy in Big and Cream mode. * There was a freeze caused by the explosion sprite that I think I've fixed all traces of, but if it reappears please tell me. Special thanx DeltaWooloo, RandomName, HitaxasTV, campbellsonic, MainMemory, and a hefty number of other people of the Retro discord. EDIT: The wiki has also been updated.
I've only just realised that Cream's sequence at the end of WFZ has been broken for almost ten revisions. :P Just to note that the project is going into the contest again this year, and this issue will FINALLY be fixed. Also another little surprise is underway. :D
Since we're uploading all our contest builds here, I thought I may as well do the same: Updates: * Difficulty Option added. Choose from Easy, Normal or Hard modes (Easy saves your ring count with checkpoints and has breezier layouts and bosses, Normal is the classic Sonic 2 run, Hard has tougher layouts and more resilient boss fights). * Several bugfixes, including Cream's WFZ cutscene, and several objects clearing her flying flag properly. * Updated title screen as shown above. * Level select updated to feature the hidden levels (upcoming third secret is blanked out for now). * New sound effects for certain commands and objects.
