This hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive was created by Captain Bozo and Ranger. It is known as Sonic 2 XL. Onion rings take the place of rings, and after eating them, Sonic balloons are up to an unhealthy size. When Sonic gains weight, his running speed decreases, and his jumping height decreases as well. If Sonic eats enough onion rings, he loses the ability to roll correctly, and if he gets too fat, he will eventually expire. Running and hitting the “?” monitors that are deliberately placed around the stages are two ways that Sonic may burn off excess fat.
Features
– 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 “?” box, Sonic will lose weight instantly.
