I wonder if someday maybe someone will take this implementation of sonic and build level design around it Even in the modern day this is some of the most tight classic sonic controls that exist, and this is _after_ sega reintroduced the drop dash which functionally acts like the dive kick attack... however it isn't cancellable and you lose acceleration before using it so _even then_
That's funny, because (if I remember correctly) in the unused sprites,there was a ring sprite used. It showed sonic holding a ring, just like he did in SATAM. I think the power behind said ring was infinite speedshoes, Just like the show!

i did and im proud of it. how? the first 2 levels were eazy expect the boss in level 2 took 23 tries or smtn and the final stage you just try to learn a path by going the same way over and over until you are able to do it
***** Hey, at least it's interesting. And Sonic can't fly. I know it's absurdly difficult, but I prefer the game being made hard rather than the game not being made making it hard.
all these years later and those act 1 and 3 themes are still engraved into my mind its gonna be really strange when i eventually play what games those are actually from
Duke Nukem 3D - Grabbag MegaMan X6 - High Max Battle If you want to play those games for the music alone, they play very early on. In fact, I think Grabbag is the title theme for DN3D, though I'm not entirely sure as I've never played it.
The music is great and the boss fights look good, but the levels are far too linear. I like the idea of burning rings to do moves like double jumps and divekicks, which might explain why there's so many of them, and act 3's fire quickly drains your rings if you get close enough, something the ramps and loops actually FORCE. So there's a reason for the multitude. Also love the life bars on the boss.
The fact this game existed probably like a year before i was ever born and it looks so cool, im new to this thing but this is genius speed sonic level design
This hack is Sonic's equivalent to Mario Kaizo: it's true to the games and introduces a neat spin on existing mechanics/ has tighter controls, sure, but it's nose bleeding hard. Back in the 90s, Sega aimed to larger audiences, mostly kids, hence the gameplay. If they made a game as unforgiving as Boom, they would've flopped, and flopped hard.
The world on a brink of ruin. Sonic gets notification of where Robotniks major factories are. He knows the journey, so do you. You're the fastest thing alive Tough it out!

Well if you didn’t know that in sonic 2 the fire wall doesn’t approach you unless you’re moving this one does and with more intense music
Fun Fact:
This Sonic can run Sonic 2's maximum level size in 20 seconds.
I think it's mostly because of the level design, and also because of Sonic's new abilities
@@ibis03 It would be reasonable to think this.
But naw. This Sonic has snorted so much fucking speed his ass can travel it ON FOOT.
That's because sonic 2 is typically flatter landmass

Closest thing we got is terminal velocity act 3 from sonic colors, and while fun, that was a destined to lose level
nowhere close to his full speed, if it was nobody would be able to play the game
He actually breaks the speed cap from the classic games in this one.

Coming back to this and yep, I still wholeheartedly believe this is how 2D Sonic games should play, damn.
Me too. But, it could be hard for newbies…
I'm just gonna say, in my playthrough of the game, I felt like this a slightly more tame Kaizo Sonic hack.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the creator/s of this had a hand in a kaizo game or two...
a decade later and this shit is still awesome
0:51 did he just moonwalk
yup
yup he did
Very in character for Sonic
NOW THIS IS THE REAL CLASSIC MODERN SONIC!
This is how you do a Sonic game. The third level idea is especially perfect with the speed.
The fact that the flames in act III melt the golden rings insanely fast really suggests how hot that is.
Duke Nukem's Song on first music :O
