Sonic was enjoying a long overdue vacation when Tails alerted him of the danger. Sonic gazed at the giant battleship aimed toward Greenflower, and had already bolted towards it in a blink of an eye. Even though Sonic rushed to save Greenflower City as quickly as possible, it was already a pile of ashes by the time he arrived. Now, after a quick reunion with the evil doctor, Sonic and Co. journeys off to another quest to save the world from Dr. Eggman.

  The blue streak returns again, ready to tackle Eggman and his robots. Definitely the quickest of all the three, but also the least versatile. He will find several areas inaccesible and must find new routes around them. That's not to say he's not learned anything since last time. He has a special 'Air Spin Attack' move, allowing him to shoot forwards at high speeds, aiding him in longer jumps and giving him automatic acceleration. -Copied from Srb2.org

Hyper Sonic is one of the game's secrets. To get Hyper Sonic, you must have level select, and get all emeralds with everything unlocked.
+
An unlockable in the game, Hyper Sonic plays exactly like Super Sonic, with the exception that his Thok has the same effect as Hyper Sonic's in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. When used, all enemies on screen will be destroyed.    This is a secret exclusive to the 1.09 beta series, and ''will not be included in later releases of SRB2.''

In CEZ2, go in the middle with the pool. Walk around the corners, and you should fall. There you should find a secret area. Now finish the Level. The guy who lets you access Red Volcano Zone will appear, letting you enter a special stage. This stage is full with jumping crawlers. After making your way through, finish the level, then the game.
 
  
−
Next, go to Level Select and choose GHZ2. You should have all emeralds. Without using cheats, get 50 rings with Sonic and go super. Go to the beginning and look at the first pool to the right. You should see a spring. Get behind it, then Spin Dash to a ledge (the highest one). You should see a house. Go up to the door, and it'll say out to lunch. Then, hover (jump+spin button) and go to a ledge directly above the spring in the beginning. The guy you saw will be having a picnic. Going up to him, he will give you a black emerald. The black emerald lasts for one game only(You'll have to get it back after completing the game or leaving) and the only added power is Sonic's thok (speed thrust) will be a Armageddon shield.

==Multiplayer Play==
 +
Along with traditional Single Player play, SRB2 features a fully functional online mode.  There are a few types of games that can be played with this.
 +
 
 +
===Match===
 +
SRB2's Match multiplayer mode is a game where players shoot rings at each other in order to score points.  The player with the most points wins.  The shields that are available for Single Player are all fully functional here, and can help the player with their added effects.  Also, there are 5 special rings that the player can collect to power up their firing.  These rings can be combined to make a more powerful weapon when used.
 +
 
 +
===Team Match===
 +
SRB2's Team Match is a multiplayer mode similar to Match, with the difference that 2 teams compete, and the team with the higher amount of points wins.
 +
 
 +
===Capture The Flag===
 +
Capture the Flag is similar to Team Match in terms of teaming and playing.  In this game, however, the players run between bases and try to take the flag from the opponents' base to their own.  What makes SRB2's CTF mode somewhat unique is that a team can only capture their opponents' flag if their own team's flag is in their base.  This forces cooperation from both sides in order to secure victory.
 +
 
 +
===Race===
 +
Race mode is as it sounds.  First person to the end of the stage wins.  Race mode works for all of the SP maps in the game.
 +
 
 +
===Circuit Race===
 +
Circuit Race is exactly that.  SRB2 has a bunch of maps that the player races around for a few laps.  First person to finish all the laps wins.  Important in Circuit is that all checkpoints must be touched  before the player can complete a lap.  If one is missed, the player must go back, hit it, and proceed forward.  This is made less cumbersome by level designers who use a function to make the entire area around a checkpoint activate it.  All of SRB2's vanilla levels have this.
 +
 
 +
===Co-op===
 +
SRB2 has a functional Co-op mode.  Co-op is played in all the SP levels.  Co-op is designed to let players explore the SP levels together, get used to playing them, and finding secrets.  It should be noted that this is often abused on SRB2's Master Server, and spending too long in levels is frowned upon, and can even wind up with the host of the game banned.

Sonic Robo Blast 2
Latest version: Final Demo v1.09.4
Latest release date: Aug. 19, 2006
Engine: Doom Legacy
Credits: Sonic Team Junior

Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a fan game developed by Sonic Team Junior for Windows and DOS platforms. The game is a 3D platformer using the Doom Legacy game engine meant to emulate many of the elements of the classic Sonic series. The reason it is popular among fans is the addition of online multiplayer, as well as the ability to make characters, zones, and whole game modifications.


Storyline

Months after Eggman's defeat in Sonic Robo Blast 1, Dr. Eggman took an interest in harnessing the Black Rock's energy. After claiming it as his own battleship, Eggman chose Greenflower City as his first target for obliteration.

Sonic was enjoying a long overdue vacation when Tails alerted him of the danger. Sonic gazed at the giant battleship aimed toward Greenflower, and had already bolted towards it in a blink of an eye. Even though Sonic rushed to save Greenflower City as quickly as possible, it was already a pile of ashes by the time he arrived. Now, after a quick reunion with the evil doctor, Sonic and Co. journeys off to another quest to save the world from Dr. Eggman.



Playable characters

Sonic the Hedgehog

SRB2 Sonic Art.png
The blue streak returns again, ready to tackle Eggman and his robots. Definitely the quickest of all the three, but also the least versatile. He will find several areas inaccesible and must find new routes around them. That's not to say he's not learned anything since last time. He has a special 'Air Spin Attack' move, allowing him to shoot forwards at high speeds, aiding him in longer jumps and giving him automatic acceleration.

More Info...

Miles "Tails" Prower

SRB2 Tails Art.png
Having missed his first chance to help Sonic back in Sonic Robo Blast I, he is more than ready to assist Sonic this time around. While nowhere near as fast as Sonic, he has his flying ability, which will help him over longer jumps and reach new areas.

More Info...

Knuckles the Echidna

SRB2 Knux Art.png
Having played a minor role in stopping Eggman from the original Sonic Robo Blast, he returns to put Eggman out of commission once and for all. While he lacks Sonic's speed, he is faster than Tails and retains his climbing and gliding skill.

More Info...

DR. EGGMAN

Watch out! The evil doctor is back to wreak havoc upon the planet and make Sonic & Co.'s lives miserable! He won't stop at anything to achieve his ultimate goal.

Hyper Sonic

An unlockable in the game, Hyper Sonic plays exactly like Super Sonic, with the exception that his Thok has the same effect as Hyper Sonic's in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. When used, all enemies on screen will be destroyed. This is a secret exclusive to the 1.09 beta series, and will not be included in later releases of SRB2.



Single Player Levels

Greenflower Zone

Greenflower Zone (abbreviated GFZ) is the first zone. It is the only zone to have the 8th emerald, the Master Emerald. Additionally, a player can go to a secret level in Act 1 with either Sonic, Tails or Knuckles.

Techno Hill Zone

Techno Hill Zone (abbreviated THZ) is the second zone in the demo, with Eggman's factory. Water here is replaced with slime, which will damage the players. This zone is the favourite of most players, as it's an excellent Race stage.

Castle Eggman Zone

Castle Eggman Zone (abbreviated CEZ) is the final zone in the demo. While expressed as being a demo exclusive, it will be completely redone in the final game, 1.1. It has the player in Act 1 to find a switch to go in Eggman's castle, then in Act 2 the player is inside the castle itself.
