 Story And Intro
Robotnik's back at it, with a full-scale global disaster planned this time! He needs workers to create the ultimate doomsday machine, known as the Death Egg. Back to turning innocent animals into evil robots to create this ultimate weapon, The Eggman's already taken control of all the factories, refineries, and cities...but the seven Chaos Emeralds remain out of his grasp....Should he manage to capture them as well, he would have Mobius under an invincible grasp, and he'd never let go. It's up to Sonic the Hedgehog, along with his fox friend Miles "Tails" Prower, to stop Robotnik and collect the Chaos Emeralds before he does! Created November 24, 1992, this game blew Sonic 1 away and next to Sonic Adventure remains one of the big favorites among fans. Twice as many zones, the awesome 3D pipe special stage, the predecessor to Metal Sonic - Silver Sonic, the introduction of Super Sonic, and the debut of that lovable sidekick, Tails The Fox! This game's zones also set the standards for all other zones in Sonic games including its final zone, The Death Egg (a noteable riff of Star Wars' "Death Star" ^___^)!

Chaos Emeralds - The Easy Way:

|
|
The Emerald Hill Shortcut:

Extra Lives In The Chemical Plant:

If you have Sonic & Knuckles, hook it onto Sonic 2. Play until Chemical Plant Act 1. When you get to the wall with the Spiny badnik and the warp tube on the floor. Break open the tube and go through it. When you come out you will see a Ring Box next to a tower. Climb up the tower and on the top you will find one 1-up. Glide left and you will find another 1-up. Glide to the left one more time and you will find yet one more 1-up. Since you won't want to go through the level again just glide to the right until you get to the tower you started from. Get on that first tower and glide to the right. The Act will be over and you will have 3 lives more than how much you started the act with.

The Wing Fortress Shortcut:

Ashura The Hedgehog:
|
The Ashura Code is probably the most famous code next to Super Sonic. And the nick "Ashura" has stuck to Sonic even to this day ---- To get the green sonic you must enter the level select and debug code. Then you must choose one of the Emerald Hill Zone levels because the code only works in Emerald Hill Zone (1 or 2.) When you start the level press B, you will be a ring,then press a four times,you will be four rings in a row going up or down,you then hold C and right for about 5 seconds,then you go back to the begining, keep pressing a until your the top of a waterfall. You may not see yourself but you're there. Now do the same thing as before, hold C and right for about five seconds. Then press B and you'll be green.
|
|
Turbo Tails:
|
While in Debug Mode, create and position a "Transfer Box" monitor. When you hit it and you are Super Sonic, you lose all your powers but stay yellow. Tails looks the same but has invincibility (little stars flashing around him.)
|
|
Shielded Tails:
|
To give Tails a sheild, enter debug mode and hit a shield. Then place a teleport box down and hit that. Now Tails has a permenant sheild.
|
|
Double Tails:
|
Enter the level select and debug codes, then go to the Sky Chase level. Using debug mode, create a transfer box and break it open. When you hear Sonic die press B to enter debug mode again. Move the cursor up until you see Tails and exit debug mode. To finish, jump and you'll have two Tails.
