Known Issues In Release 2

• If Sonic is getting in a Special Stage with a Lightning Shield en goed out again, the shield is gone but the ability to drain rings is stil affective.
• When running at high speeds in Roof Top Zone, Sonic occasionally passes through solid walls.
• Sonic's starting sprite is corrupted in Robotic Ruin Zone.
• In Robotic Ruin Zone, there is a rather large secret area that contains several elements from the original game's Metropolis Zone. Rings are scattered in very strange places, and there is a long tract of what seems to be lava throughout one half. Once the player gets into this area, s/he cannot leave without restarting. To access this area, find a thin strip of lava next a pit with four yellow springs in it. Jump into the pit and push to the left, then fall down the lava, you should reach the hidden area.
• When becoming Super Sonic, Sonic's sprites are very random and do not coincide with his sprites from Sonic 3. The result is an amusing disconnect between his movement and his speed.

Trivia

• While not necessarily a bug, it is important to note that neither Tails nor Knuckles can access their super forms.
