Sonic 2 Heroes

Sonic 2 Heroes is a fan modification of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Genesis. The idea comes from Sonic Heroes: three heroes run through the levels as one team, and you can switch between them at any moment.

Features

• Three heroes at once: Sonic, Tails and Knuckles run together, and you can take control of any of them.
• Each has his own abilities: Sonic has speed and the spin dash, Tails flies, Knuckles glides and climbs walls.
• New routes: thanks to Tails and Knuckles many places in the levels can now be reached differently.
• Levels from Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles reworked for team play.

Who is it for

If you have beaten the original Sonic 2 many times and know it by heart, Sonic 2 Heroes lets you see it in a new way: familiar zones like Emerald Hill and Chemical Plant feel different with a flying Tails and a climbing Knuckles on the team.

Controls

The Sega gamepad layout (A, B, C and Start) is shown under the game window, and you can change it in the emulator settings. A gamepad works best, and on a phone an on-screen gamepad appears.

Tips

• Switch to Tails to fly over pits and look for bonuses up high.
• Knuckles is useful where you need to climb a wall to secret rings.
• Save in the emulator before tough bosses.
