To do so you’ll need to beat the game after collecting all 6 Chaos Emeralds. Unlocking Knuckles as a playable character is a lot trickier. When playing as Tails by himself he can helicopter around, too. While carrying Sonic you’ll be in control of Tails and can fly your buddy around the levels, even accessing previously unreachable and new areas. While playing as the duo, jump and press up+jump in mid-air to have Tails activate his “helicopter" mode and carry Sonic by his arms. Once unlocked, you can choose to play as Tails by himself or a combo of Sonic with an AI-controlled Tails following along. Unlocking Tails is simple enough – just beat the game. There still may yet be more to uncover, but let’s take a look at what’s out there so far in terms of secrets, glitches and easter eggs.įirst off, let’s make sure you know how to unlock the additional characters. Elements of Sonic 2 and 3, including the ability to add a 7th Chaos Emerald and get Super versions of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, are among the additional goodies tucked into Sonic 2.0.Ī forward-thinking member of our forums took the initiative to compile all of Sonic’s secrets in one handy discussion thread. The full level-select and Debug Mode from the original 16-bit games is intact here, but it goes beyond even that. It didn’t take the members over at the Sonic Retro forums, which is where Taxman and Stealth hang out themselves, to dig into the game and discover more of what it had to offer. Kudos Sega.)Īnyway, what you may have not heard about yet are all the crazy features that are in this version of Sonic The Hedgehog that aren’t on the “back of the box" so to speak. (The Retro Engine was originally used in a fan-made iOS port of Sonic CD by Taxman several years ago, which Sega officially got on board with and released as Sonic CD (Free) and now Sonic The Hedgehog on iOS using his engine, with more said to be on the way. This truly is a remake for the fans, made by some of its biggest fans. You’ve probably heard about these features already: widescreen and Universal iPad support, 60fps smoothness, playable Tails and Knuckles as unlockable characters, a Time Attack mode, cleaned up visuals, a remastered soundtrack, Game Center and more. Rebuilt from scratch using the Retro Engine developed by Christian “ Taxman" Whitehead, and with help from fellow Sonic hacker Simon “ Stealth" Thomley, Sonic The Hedgehog 2.0 features tons of awesome enhancements over the previous bare-bones iOS version, and even over the original Genesis/Mega Drive classic.
Seriously, this think is a bonafide work of art.
If you asked me what I’ve been spending the most time doing the past week or so, the answer is simple – playing the bajeezus out of the recently remastered version 2.0 of Sonic The Hedgehog (Free) that was released as a free update to the original iOS game.
