Sonic 2 Heroes

Sonic 2 Heroes is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive by flamewing that allows the player to direct Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles simultaneously, similar to Sonic Heroes.

Characters in Sonic 2 Heroes

The player can choose to have one, two, or three characters—from a choice of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles—and, when using more than one, can rapidly switch between them.

A new options screen enables the player to select the number of characters to play as, and the order thereof. Future versions will include multiple save slots and several other options.

Up to three players can play co-operatively via the Team Player multi-tap. Special Stages can be played in this way, too; currently, all selected characters enter, but in the future this will be optional.

Sonic can use the Insta-Shield and Super Peel-Out, and he has a higher top speed.

Tails can fly, swim and can carry either or both Sonic and Knuckles.

Knuckles can glide and climb.

When player 1 is controlling Sonic, Tails and Knuckles share his top speed, acceleration, deceleration and jump strength (the last three of which are more meaningful when you consider Super Sonic’s enhanced stats). (This is especially useful for Knuckles: when he is CPU controlled and thus following Sonic, his usual reduced jump height might make him unable to reach some platforms that Sonic might jump to.)sonic wil beable to jump high after collecting 23 rings
