--- By Shadow --- Class Review --- I hope this isn't going to end up bugging you more than helping because of the links to pictures and the fact that this has all probably been seen and thought about for a long time now.. But I just thought that just in case any part of this was never noticed, I should say something about it to make sure. Anyway, I was playing the sonic 2 beta rom and I was in hidden palace trying to find out anything I could about it, but it didn't seem like I was going to find anything, because I didn't think I had anywhere to go after I got to this part (it's easier to show a picture than try to explain). (http://members.aol.com/iooshadow/stuck.gif) The first weird thing that I noticed was that after you collected 100 rings in this level, the music changed.. (to 88 on the sound test thing) Then after that I kept going through the level looking for things, and I noticed this.. (http://members.aol.com/iooshadow/toohigh.gif) the first thing I thought (it was 4 am when I was seeing all of this) was "of course! they must have thought about putting knuckles in sonic 2 because he's the only way you could climb up there!" then around 5 am I realized that after they gave tails the ability to fly, he would have been able to get up there and of course he could carry sonic with him. Then finally I went back to the spot where I thought they stopped building and got stuck, and finally found a way to get on the floor below the one. then I realized that must have been put there to make it hard and frusterating and not becuase they didn't stop building, because there were rings on the lower floor.. well anyway I ran around for a few seconds and ended up finding a big emerald. (http://members.aol.com/iooshadow/emerald.gif) If all of that stuff's old then the one last thing that happened to me was that I somehow got into that pipe that the emerald is on and fell down into the water, but instead of dying, I just ended up at the very bottom standing on something. Unfortunatly that didn't last too long, because when I walked right a little bit, I fell off whatever i was standing on and died. I hope some of this was helpful, but I doubt it was.. i just wanted to make sure it wasn't something new that might be the piece to a puzzle.. --- Taken from 'Secrets of Sonic the Hedgehog - The Original' http://secretsonic.cjb.net ---
