Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 XL

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 XL is a joke hack which adds a new gameplay gimmick. The standard rings the player normally collect have been replaced by onion rings. The more onion rings the player collects the fatter he gets. As he gets fatter he gets slower, jumps shorter, and becomes unable to roll. If the player eats too many onion rings the player will die. The player can burn off the fat by running or by breaking the ? monitors found throughout the levels.

==Facts about the hack==

The patch is in xdelta format due to shifted data resulting in IPS patches containing original code. The ROM should be in BIN format.

==Gameplay==
Sonic 2 XL takes after other hacks that penalize the player for collecting rings,
such as OMG THE RED RINGS, a Sonic the Hedgehog hack. The fatter Sonic is, the
slower he runs and the shorter he jumps. With enough onion rings, Sonic is unable
to roll properly, and if he gets too fat, he dies. Sonic can burn off the fat by
running, or by hitting the "?" monitors strategically scattered through levels.

==Facts about the game's fat feature==
*It takes about 5 rings to to go up a level in fatness.
*You lose spindashing and normal spinning all together at fat level 5.
*It takes about 30 rings to die of fatness.
*The fatter you get, the less effort Sonic puts into looking up and down until
he gives up (Level 6).
*If you use debug mode to finish Death Egg Zone as fat Sonic, he goes down to
fat level 3.
*If you break a 10 ring box, Sonic will become fat instantly.
*If you break a "?" box, Sonic will lose weight instantly.
