Sonic Classic Heroes

Couldn't you use the green from Knuckles' socks?

Interesting idea, that could work.

Also what about a sort of heroes combo, so if you get Sonic Knuckles and Tails on the roulette you win rings (That's more just a random things I always wanted to see XP)

 

Picked up the newest release of Sonic 2 Heroes... Playing through for bugs.
I had a list from the last version, but I will opt to play through and check them again before posting... in the meantime, two things are standing out to me...

1. At the score tally screen, foregrounds take precedent over continue icons... AKA if there is ground behind the score tally, it'll cover a continue icon... just an aesthetic fix...

2. In Chemical Plant Zone, when Tails takes the pipes, his twin tails drag behind his ball form. I've seen this same bug in other hacks featuring the fox... and I'm sure it isn't in the original games.

3. If you fly into the Aquatic Ruins Zone boss fight from high above, (I flew in from the hidden extra life high in the sky near the end), there is an error with the limit of camera scrolling, and you can move far and high above where you are supposed to be able to. The camera is supposed to be vertically locked here... It should be that if you fly in from above, it locks itself in place after you descend to the area.

4. In Casino Night Zone, Tails seems to have a delayed effect when colliding with the bumper badnik. He overlaps the robot's sprite for a few moments before finally getting hurt.

5. The noted graphic bug involving Tails and his tails reappears in Oil Ocean Zone with the transfer spheres,
ALSO: The transfer spheres bug involving the abnormal speed has NOT been fixed, as was reported with the changelog. I suspect it has to do with all three characters in one at once?

I'll either post more as I find them, or if this got no replies before then, I will EDIT this post instead with more. Loving the hack Flamewing... keep it up!

 

Bug:

- While fighting the Oil Ocean boss, after bouncing with Sonic on Robotnik, I swayed leftward into the oil and died (naturally). But the moment I died, the entire game reset to the SEGA screen. Annoyed, I continued to the title screen, pressed play game and when the game started the characters were missing and appeared to have been moved to the bottom of the screen behind everything and the screen moved by itself rightward at a constant speed all the way through to the end of GHZ1 (as if you were using debug in S3&K except no character visible).

Suggestion:

- At the score tally screen, shouldn't Knuckles' name be red and green like in S3&K as opposed to being blue and orange like Sonic's? Also, would implementing Tails' name to have orange letters with blue outlining them (reverse Sonic) like Tiddles recently has in Sonic 3 Complete be in your interest? It would make sense for each character to have their own colors to their name.

- Also since the text at the score tally screen "GOT THROUGH ACT" is S3&K-style, then you might as well use the S3&K-style act number instead of the Sonic 2-style yellow since it doesn't look right or like it belongs there IMO.

 

I'm not an SCD expert, but I just tested this (via sound test + channel muting), the peel-out sound seems to be on FM1.

 

Hello, does anybody know how to do the cheats for Supers? Or level select????

I'll bet it has been mentioned on this topic, but I'm too lazy to look through 600+ posts to find it. Someone could just tell me here, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

It's the same as the vanilla Sonic 2 code. Speaking of which, it still chimes when you put the debug mode in.

 

That's cool, Now I ask this... is there any reason why Knuckles cannot kill him by gliding into him? Instead of killing the badnik, it hurts Knuckles. Perhaps a result of the delayed collision reaction.

That we are... indeed two different bugs. If you fixed Tails dragging others into it, which I did do at one point, then it should be fine... Allow me to go back to this zone and do some more testing on it, I wonder if anything else causes it to happen...

ALSO, maybe this was already posted... but invincibility music no longer plays when getting the otherwise wonderful powerup.

 

No hugely useful bug reports from me, but I did want to drop by to say "excellent job" on the hack. My eight year old self would have worshiped you as a god for fulfilling one of his most fervent wishes. (Now if only you could get me a pony...)

 

Some bugs:

Two things to ask about the demo play that plays when you wait at the title screen... any chance you'll fix the demo gameplay?? It's kinda crappy to look at. Also in the demo mode, when it plays in Super Mode, Sonic gets the standard shield and the stars following you become messed up... NOTE, This doesn't happen in normal gameplay.

The Metropolis bug from the original games that allows you to go through the lava with the block... Any plans to nix this bug? Perhaps solid tiles that only the block can pass through, if you are able to do that.

In Metropolis Zone, occasionally when riding the transport tubes, you fall through the ground after arriving at the end of the tube... I did it with Team Super, so I'm not sure if it happens with the standard team.

Sky Chase Zone: Sonic fell off and his respawn graphic was flashing rapidly across the screen and he never reappeared.

Any chance of fixing the collision bugs with the second Death egg boss?

Occasionally, checkpoint graphics are flawed upon activation. You will see the tip rotating, however, it will appear that there are two tips, as another tip will stay stationary behind it.

 

I didnt do anything special that I know of... Just normal gameplay... I only noticed this in the latest release. Perhaps something you fixed since releasing the newest release fixed this too???

 

He must be referring to that glitch/bug when you hit the final Death Egg boss, you have a chance of going straight through him and dieing on his arm instead of rebounding, which is what should happen.

It has been around since Sonic 2's release.

 

I've had this happen many times in vanilla Sonic 2 as Super Sonic, always when holding forward for the duration of the trip.

 

BOTH bugs??? or just the Metropolis bug?
Either way, that sure was quick.

 

Two more bugs to report:

• Invincibility music doesn't play when you break open an invincibility monitor if you are playing the game with only one or two characters.
• Tails' tails still get separated from his body whenever he's in the high-speed tubes in CPZ as shown below. This also happens with the OOZ launchers.
