Also known as "The Green Demon," Ashura is the name of the glitched-palette character found in Sonic the Hedgehog 2's Emerald Hill Zone.
Getting Ashura
To get Ashura, the zone select and debug codes must be active. Then, go to one of the two EHZ acts because the glitch only happens in Emerald Hill Zone. When the zone begins, press 
. Sonic will be a ring, signifying that debug mode is active. Then, press 
four times. Sonic will be four rings in a row going up or down. Then, hold 
and 
for about 5 seconds, then go back to the beginning and keep pressing until Sonic is the top of a waterfall. Sonic or an item may not be visible, but Sonic is still there. Again, hold and for about five seconds. Then press and Sonic will be Ashura, or, green Sonic.
Dispelling Ashura Myths
While there is no known reason why the glitch was named Ashura, the leading theory says that it has something to do with a Hindu god who also shares the black stripe and green body. Ashura is not a secret character or anything special in Sonic 2, however. It is merely a glitch.
Miscellaneous
Though only a palette glitch, Ashura is one of the four characters possible in Yuski the Dog's SMS ROM hack, Sonic vs. Os Mauniks. Ashura was even hacked into Sonic R [1] and Sonic Heroes [2]. Also, there is a way to get an "Ashura"-esque Chao in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle; it is the dark/run Shadow the Hedgehog Chao.
