Sonic 2 XL (Hack)

http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=21739



This hack is too awesome for words.

Indeed, this is beyond jawusum :D

The first time I saw it, I found it real interesting, then funny, then genious.

You eat the rings (or "golden doughnuts" ;)), you slowly get fat. You eat too many rings at once, you get fat really fast. You get too fat, you die. Run it off on "a diet" (stop eating rings) and you loose weight. Genious. Just brilliant. It adds a great challenge to beat the game like this.

I wonder if you get fat in the special stages. It'd be impossible to get the emmeralds. But if one can bypass that, I wonder if Super Sonic gets fat; or tails, for that matter. :D

Haha, I love the fat Sonic sprite :D.

But I hoped he would be fat when he fell down from the spaceship and make the plane crash when he landed on it. Or perhaps there would be rings as he stood on it, which made him so fat the plane would soon sink :P.

I wish fat sonic did not die, but would continue getting fatter until he took up a majority of the screen. Then he would die.

I was WTF at first there is nothing different about this game then I seen Sonic gettin fat and I was like what a lard ass Sonic.

Onion rings, clearly.

Onion Doughnut Rings?

Well, the Sonicretro entry says its Onion rings, so let's stick to that ;)

Onion rings it is, then. Heck, it even carries the word "ring" in it. :D

Sounds like a pretty cool hack. It's like when you eat a lot of food in the Metal Slug games, but instead of helping you, it makes the character worse

But how would he fit in smaller places?

I barely made it to level 2.

It's so hard to avoid rings sometimes, like going through a loop.

This is great, but he might get stuck at times.

While it's cool as a novelty and well done for making a fat sonic look well, it seems to hurt the gameplay.
