Sonic 2 Dimps Edition is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by SOTI. This hack attempts to mimic what Sonic 2 may have been like if it were created by Dimps. This means incorporating many features found in Dimps games such as random speed boosters. This does not include features common in most modern Sonic titles with the exception of a homing attack.

Why is this hack being created?

“	The idea for this hack came when I wanted to do something for the hacking contest which didn't involve innuendo special stages and a slideshow that you've probably seen and had to bleach your eyes after viewing. So, why don't I take the piss out of Dimps! We all know how bad Dimps are with Sonic games, such as placing speed boosters everywhere for no reason other to hide their shitty physics. As well as that, their latest game Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has caused a lot of fuss with their choice of objects too as well as poor physics, dust and a lot of other stuff.	„

Features

Speed boosters, freshly programmed and will be in every level (except from SCZ due to obvious reasons).
Homing Attack so you can abuse the fuck out of it just like Sonic 4 forces you to.
The Sonic 4 version of the spikeless Bubbles badnik, available in one Act in the game in this release at an area where you will be forced to use the homing attack or you will die.
Sonic only gameplay (The removal of Tails as a playable character was actually because of using Tails' VRAM space for the dash pads)
A soundtrack which sounds like dying cats, much like Jun Senoue's work in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
Boss theme replaced with a port of the Sonic 3D unused track which is being used as a boss theme for Sonic 4.
A few physics tweaks to dumb down the game, after all - this is Dimps' take on things.
Title screen menu removed (no point for 2P mode and the options menu).
Misplaced sound effects for a few things.
