Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Sonic 2 Dimps Edition is a fan-made modification of the original Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Sega Genesis. Developed by SOTI and others, this hack incorporates elements typical of Dimps-developed Sonic titles. Features include a homing attack, freshly programmed speed boosters, and Sonic-only gameplay. Released updates addressed bugs and introduced minor gameplay adjustments.
This is a joke hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Genesis. It's purpose is to incorporate some of the elements common to Sonic games made by developer Dimps. This makes for a game seemingly how it may have been if it had been developed by Dimps. One feature is a homing attack by pressing jump while in mid-air. As with Dimps developed Sonic games the player is actually required to use the homing attack to bounce over pits by bouncing off of enemies. Other features include random speed boosters, uncurling after hitting a badnik or spring, Sonic 4 spikeless Bubbles enemy, Sonic only gameplay, reworked music in Sonic 4 style, boss theme replaced with a unused Sonic the Hedgehog 3D Blast song which was later used as the Sonic 4 boss theme, and small physics tweaks.
The patch is in xdelta format due to shifted data resulting in IPS patches containing original code. The ROM should be in BIN format.
Sonic 2 Dimps Edition is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by SOTI. This hack attempts to mimic what Sonic 2 may have been like if it were created by Dimps. This means incorporating many features found in Dimps games such as random speed boosters. This does not include features common in most modern Sonic titles with the exception of a homing attack. Version 1.5 was uploaded to fix some reported bugs.
==Features==
*Freshly programmed speed boosters which will be in every level (except Sky Chase Zone since the level is played on top of the Tornado plane).
*Homing Attack which can be abused just like Sonic 4 forces you to.
*Uncurling after hitting a badnik or spring.
*The Sonic 4 version of the spikeless Bubbles badnik, available in Metropolis Zone Act 3 in this release in an area where you will be forced to rebound off them or die.
*Sonic only gameplay (The removal of Tails as a playable character was actually because Tails' VRAM space is used for the dash pads)
*A botched up soundtrack, much like Jun Senoue's soundtrack in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
*Boss theme replaced with a port of the Sonic 3D unused track which is being used as a boss theme for Sonic 4.
*A few physics tweaks to dumb down the game.
*Title screen menu removed (no point for 2P mode and the options menu).
*Misplaced sound effects for a few things.
