This modification for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, released on January 6, 2014, replaces the original protagonist with Metal Sonic, a character from Sonic CD. Players can experience the levels of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with Metal Sonic, choosing from three distinct movesets: his original abilities, the Sonic CD moveset, or the 2011 remaster moveset. The narrative centers on Metal Sonic's confrontation with Dr. Robotnik.

Core Gameplay and Distinctive Features

The primary gameplay alteration involves controlling Metal Sonic instead of Sonic. This character swap introduces a different set of abilities and movement mechanics to the established levels of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The mod focuses on leveraging Metal Sonic's unique attributes within the familiar platforming environments.

What Makes This Mod Unique?

The defining characteristic of this mod is the playable character. By substituting Sonic with Metal Sonic, players engage with the game's design from a new perspective, utilizing Metal Sonic's distinct capabilities to navigate the stages. This offers a fresh challenge and a novel way to replay the original game's content.

Moveset Variations

Players have the option to select from three different movesets for Metal Sonic, each offering a unique playstyle:

Original Moveset: Provides a foundational set of abilities.
Sonic CD Moveset: Integrates mechanics from the Sonic CD game.
2011 Remaster Moveset: Based on the Christian Whitehead port of Sonic CD.

These variations impact how Metal Sonic interacts with the game world, affecting movement, combat, and environmental traversal.
