Sonic 2 Recreation is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by redhotsonic. It sports various ASM edits, multiple characters, and levels from other Sonic games, notably Sonic Advance 3 and also included his own level art.
Information
After a year of not hacking, redhotsonic missed doing his RHS2 hack, but decided to start from scratch. Yet again, he decided to hack Sonic the Hedgehog 2. This was also RHS's first ASM hack. The hack has different objectives to most hacks; you must find the emerald in the level before you can finish it. It features a level-select-level type which replaces Hill Top Zone. Basically, there are logos on the level-select-level (logo 1, logo 2, etc), each corresponding to a different level. For example, logo 1 would take you to Level 1. Although, Logo 2 will not work until Level 1 has been completed.
Character Combinations
- Sonic and Tails
- Sonic Alone
- Tails Alone
- Knuckles Alone
- Knuckles and Tails
- Sonic and Knuckles
- Mighty
- redhotsonic
The hack was also going to include Cream the Rabbit, but due to her looks and people disliking this character, this soon got scrapped. It is unknown as yet if "JetPackTails" is to make an appearance.
Updates on this hack are on SSRG and RetroHack forums and on Sonic Retro forums every now and then.
DEMO
A demo of Sonic 2 Recreation came out on the 19th April 2008. The demo can be found on SSRG. Not all features are in the game. The demo only features:
- Level select level (Hill Top Zone)
- First emerald finding level (Emerald Hill Zone)
- Sonic and Tails/Sonic Alone/Tails Alone
- Sonic's Air-Dash (jump in mid-air)
- Tails flying ability (keep pressing A or C whilst in mid-air)
- Tails drop ability (Whilst flying, press the B button to drop to the ground quickly)
- Tails carrying ability (Whilst flying, make Sonic jump to tails and Tails will carry Sonic whilst flying)
- A sneak-peek at Knuckles with Tails on the second level (second level is un-complete-able but the emerald is there)
- Knuckles Glide and Climb ability
- New Eggman explosions
- Level does not restart when you die (this does not apply to Boss acts)
- Back logo (to go back to the level select level)
- Warphole (to go back to the beginning of the level if you did not find the emerald)
- Barrier (will disappear when emerald has been found)
- New art
- Some different music from other Sonic games
- ? Rings monitor
- Sonic blinks and taps foot
- Knuckles blinks and hits knuckles
- Knuckles can walk into monitors
- Different Title cards for different characters.
Level one is completable, level 2 is not, although the emerald is in level 2. You can only play Level 2 with Knuckles and Tails in the demo.
