Controls

For All Characters

Up - Look up, useful for looking up at your higher surroundings, can also be used for the Super Peel-Out (Sonic Only)

Down - Crouch, useful for looking down at your lower surroundings, can also be used for the Spin Dash

Left/Right - Move, move at the same direction to go faster, press the opposite (Left if moving right, Right if moving left) button to break.

Down + A/B/C - Spin Dash, used for rolling at fast speeds, Press any button to increase Speed

For Sonic Only

Up + A/B/C - Super Peel-Out, used for running at fast speeds, unlike the Spin Dash, you can only press any button once, since the Peel-Out is not chargeable.

Jump + A/B/C - Jump Dash (Bean's Jump Dash will be axed in the next release)

For Tails Only

Jump + A/B/C - Flying, Fly at anytime, but don't fly for too long, flying for too long can cause Tails to get tired.

Jump + A/B/C if underwater - Swimming, swim at anytime, but don't swim for too long, swimming for too long can cause Tails to get tired.

For Bean Only

A - Bomb Toss, Bean can toss a bomb at any direction (Won't be present in the next few releases)

B - High Speed Dash, Bean can do a instant spindash at the touch of the B Button

Known Bugs

  • When you are playing this hack on real hardware, you may notice when you press down while standing, the game will crash, but not the music. (Bug found by TmEE)
  • When you are fighting the MTZ3 boss as Tails, hitting the boss while flying can cause the boss to explode like an enemy, and the level will not be completable with Tails. (Bug found by Emerald Spirit)
  • When you are fighting the ARZ2 boss as Tails, Eggman cannot get hit from the bottom of the eggpod. (Bug found by Supakitsune)
  • If you beat the Special Stage after selecting it from Level Select menu you will be taken to 2P Stage select menu (Bug found by ClassicSonicTH).

If you found a bug you would like to report, PM Mikel on the Sonic Retro Forums.
