Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Amy Rose in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a modified version of the original 1992 Sega Genesis game. This hack features Amy Rose as the main character, employing abilities inspired by her appearance in Sonic Advance. Though slower than Sonic and lacking a spin attack, Amy utilizes her Piko Piko Hammer for combat and mobility. New moves and gameplay mechanics enhance the experience while maintaining elements from the original game.
This is a hack which makes Amy Rose the primary character in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Genesis. It is classic Amy designed after her Sonic CD appearence.
Amy’s moves are inspired by those used in her Sonic Advance appearance. She is slower than Sonic, can’t use spin attack but has other moves. An attack button has been added and other moves can also be performed by using combinations of buttons and directional pad presses. A complete move list is found in the readme.
This has been tested on a 1.0 version ROM in BIN format. It has not been tested for compatibility on other formats or other revisions. The patch is in xdelta format due to shifted data resulting in a ips patch larger than the ROM itself.

==Controls==
Amy's abilities mirror those she utilized in the Sonic Advance series. She is slower than
Sonic and can't use spin attacks, however has a number of abilities (mostly using her Piko
Piko Hammer) to gain manueverability and access areas Sonic had difficulty reaching:
*Hammer Attack: Press A and Amy swings her hammer, damaging enemies. In addition, Amy can
use her hammer to smash obstacles such as walls and hit springs.
*Hammer Jump: Press Down + A on the ground and Amy smashes the hammer into the ground,
launching her into the air.
*Hammer Whirl: Press Down + A in the air and Amy swirls down toward the ground. If an
enemy is hit Amy will bounce up again.
*Upward Dash: Hold Up + B/C while on the ground and Amy will rev her feet on the spot as
opposed to a spin dash. Let go of Down to charge full throttle in the facing direction.
Be careful though, Amy is vulnerable to blockading obstacles and enemies.
*Giant Steps: Press Down + B/C while on the ground and Amy will take a giant step forward
as opposed to a spin dash. This can be repeated so long as there is room. This move is
good for getting up steep slopes; she can even get up slopes the others can't spin dash up!
Amy gains a few stipulations akin to Knuckles in Sonic 2, for example, the ring quota in
Special Stages are depleted and she retains her ring count after losing lives or entering
starposts. 2 Player options and the ability to play as Tails remain from the original game
however.
