{"product_id":"sonic-2-recreation-sega-genesis-video-game-cart","title":"Sonic 2 Recreation Sega Genesis Video Game Cart","description":"\u003cp\u003e2013 Hacking Contest Release - Part One\u003cbr\u003eThe third release has undergone a complete overhaul in the past year+. It has the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eredhotsonic facing the brand new Gem Runway Zone boss. This boss drops red balls that must be spun into to turn yellow. Yellow balls damage the boss. Watch out for spikeballs!\u003cbr\u003eON THE SURFACE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new original SEGA screen, modded SSRG screen AND Sonic Retro Splash screen with redhotsonic featured.\u003cbr\u003eA new title screen with the \"PRESS START BUTTON\" from Sonic 1, that will take you right into the game\u003cbr\u003eA brand new title card, with matching colours and names for characters\u003cbr\u003ePlay as Sonic (with\/without Tails), Tails, Knuckles (with\/without Tails), redhotsonic, OR Sonic \u0026amp; Knuckles!\u003cbr\u003eSonic has an air-dash ability (press the A button in mid-air to air-dash). He can also \"burst\" and gain faster speeds (run fast for a long time without slowing down and Sonic will enter burst mode; similar to the Advance series).\u003cbr\u003eTails retains his S3K moveset, and can instantly descend from flight in the case of wanting to drop to the ground quickly (while flying, press the B button to drop to the ground quickly)\u003cbr\u003eKnuckles plays as he does in S3K, though he doesn't retain his abilities as a sidekick at this moment in time\u003cbr\u003eredhotsonic has no abilities at the moment, though in the future there may be a lava level that sees him invulnerable to the lava...\u003cbr\u003eA cleaned up, bug free Portal Zone is your home. Here you can enter options to change character, switch time-over on or off, or use the sound test. Portal Zone is also responsible for getting you to new levels. At first, only one level is available. After completing one, the next one is available. After you've completed all 4, all portals become available, and the cheat is enabled (press start then A to exit game, and then at title screen, press start whilst holding A, and you're at the level select. Picking a level, hold A to enable debug)\u003cbr\u003eSo far, there are 4 new, completed levels; West Bay Zone, Great Gate Zone, Gem Runway Zone and Chaos Angel Zone. Each level contains two main acts, and a boss act. Gem Runway contains the brand new boss. Chaos Angel has 3 main acts but no boss as yet. The emerald hunting aspect has been removed as well, allowing one to run through the zone as they wish\u003cbr\u003eEach boss, old or new, has a new Pinch Mode twist to add to the difficulty, and to freshen things up a bit\u003cbr\u003eEach main level and act will have a \"B\" portal right at the start. This will take you back to Portal Zone. This means you can go back to Portal at any time.\u003cbr\u003eDying results in a quick scroll-back to the previous checkpoint, OR the start of the level... no more constant fade outs OR music restarting\u003cbr\u003e2 Player no longer exists. All code has been taken out. This includes all checks, which can help improve the speed of the game (barely)\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Stages are now back... with a new twist. Play as Sonic and Tails on the Tornado and defeat enemies, and gather rings, en route to the Chaos Emerald.\u003cbr\u003eUnlocking a randomly generated Level Select cheat code upon obtaining all 7 Chaos Emeralds. This will sacrifice all 7 of your emeralds in exchange for this ONE TIME code! (WRITE IT DOWN!) The Level Select will allow you to take a sneak peek at future levels coming in Part Two\u003cbr\u003eIf you select sound 3F in Sound Test, the \"3D Pinball Space Cadet\" theme will start to play.\u003cbr\u003eUNDER THE HOOD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany Sonic 2 bugs and inferior design choices are gone, and replaced with better coding\u003cbr\u003eS3K-RM Object Manager. Described as \"The S3K Object manager with more oomph.\" The \"RM\" stand for redhotsonic-Module\u003cbr\u003eS3K Touch Response\u003cbr\u003eS3K Priority Manager\u003cbr\u003eImproved S3K Rings manager\u003cbr\u003eS3K ObjectMove (and Fall) routines\u003cbr\u003eImproved layer deformation code\u003cbr\u003eA huge improvement to the Sonic 2 Clone Driver, and optimized greatly\u003cbr\u003eUneditable SRAM - Saves your progress after each level or character selection. Loads up your progress when you next play the game. The SRAM in S2R is jumbled and data gets shifted and changed all the time. A lot of the data is dud. If you make an edit yourself to the SRAM, when you next load the game, the SRAM may delete your progress without warning, and you'll have to start again.\u003cbr\u003eExtra security to the game on top of that, so you can't cheat your way through! (RAM changes, code changes, conversion, etc)\u003cbr\u003eMany more miscellaneous optimizations here and there (too many to list)\u003cbr\u003eUnderwater mode. When the main character goes underwater, the sound driver changes its properties to make the music and SFX\/DAC's sound like you're underwater\u003cbr\u003eImproved screen fading routines\u003cbr\u003eImproved music fading. Music\/PSGs\/FMs\/DACs are now more balanced when fading in and out. Also, can change the speed of the fade in\/out to really fast to really slow\u003cbr\u003eSFXs are no longer affected by the fading in\/out of music or by the 1-up jingle\u003cbr\u003eNTSC initially, but compatible with PAL. Music will be the same speed in PAL mode as it was in NTSC mode. Timer is still synced with the game in either mode\u003cbr\u003eMain level music will NOT restart after invincibility music or drowning music, instead, it will resume from where it left off\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame has been tested on an original Sega Genesis model 1 and works flawlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThank you for looking and let me know if you have any questions, also be sure to check out my other listings.
