Sonic 2 Heroes is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis by flamewing that allows the player to play as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles simultaneously, similar to Sonic Heroes.

Features

  • The player can rapidly cycle between playing as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles
  • Powerups are shared between players.
  • Tails can fly, swim and can carry either Sonic or Knuckles.
  • Knuckles can glide and climb.
  • Sonic can use the insta-shield.
  • Physics imported from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
  • Graphics imported from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, particularly when they could be used to reduce the VRAM footprint.
  • Projectiles bounce off of Tails' tails and from Knuckles when gliding, as well as from shields, like in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
  • A new HUD frees VRAM for Knuckles.
  • The drown timer is disabled to keep the characters close together instead of losing them when the timer counts to 0.
  • Amy Rose makes a cameo appearance flying the Tornado in Sky Chase Zone and during the ending sequence.

Controls

  • A (P1): Cycle through each on-screen playable character
  • A (P2): Cycle through remaining on-screen characters not being controlled by P1
  • All other controls and player abilities are consistent with their traditional standards in the Sonic series.

Known Bugs

  • The normal level music does NOT continue to play after collecting extra lives.
  • When the Speed Shoes item is collected, the music will either completely slow down or speed up ridiculously.
  • When the player crosses a checkpoint with 50 rings, they cannot enter a Special Stage by jumping over the stars.
  • Switching to a dying character will cost the player one life.
  • Sound Test doesn't work.
