Sonic 2 Special Stage Editor
Category: Special Stage editor
Version: 0.2.0
System: Cross-platform
Supported Games: Sonic 2
Credits: flamewing

The Sonic 2 Special Stage Editor is a cross-platform program, designed by flamewing, which can edit the special stages from the Sega Mega Drive version of Sonic 2. It is the first known program able to do so in over a decade (unlike editors for Sonic 1 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles special stages, which are quite common), and it has been received very well because of this.

I have been bitching about this for a DECADE.
You have made my dreams.

Scarred Sun

It doesn't edit the Sonic 2 ROM in itself, as it is meant to be used with a split disassembly.

Features

This Sonic 2 Special Stage Editor allows the user to edit:

  • the object placement (rings, bombs)
  • how the special stage twists and turns (within Sonic 2 engine constraints)
  • how long each special stage is
  • how many special stages there are in the files

It does not allow to edit:

  • background
  • palette
  • ring requirements

Which should still be edited by hand in a disassembly. Likewise, if the user wants to have more than 7 special stages, modifications of the disassembly are required in order to get the new stages from the eighth onwards to work.
