comment |
Some people remember Knuckles Chaotix, the only Sonic the Hedgehog game to appear on Sega's 32X console. Far fewer remember this Sonic game that almost appeared on the doomed console.Sonic 2: Special Edition was originally conceived as an Updated Re-release of the extremely successful Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but this was complicated when Sonic Team decided to take advantage of the capabilities of the 32X by adding a ton of new content, to the degree that many of the later levels bore only a passing resemblance to those in the original game. By 1996, the game was a few months away from its release date, and the ballooning project had barely avoided collapsing under its own weight — then Sega's decision to cease supporting the 32X caused the project to be canned altogether. The legend of this game persisted for years afterwards, as copies of the beta (and a rumored handful of finished games, manufactured but never sold) were highly sought after by hardcore collectors, but none ever turned up...Then in 2007, on the Something Awful forum, docfuture (aka Robotnik DDS) revealed that he had a copy of Sonic 2: Special Edition, given to him as a present by his uncle (a Nintendo employee who pulled a few strings to get the game... or maybe he just bought it from Chinese bootleggers—it's not clear). Further, he decided to start a Let's Play thread to share this weird piece of Sonic history with the entire world.From watching the LP, it's clear that, had Sonic 2: Special Edition been released, it would've been the greatest game ever made. While rough at some points, it is clear that if development continued, it would have been a classic that would have influenced games to this day.What's that? You doubt that this game actually exists? Oh, so you're the one responsible for the shoddy graphics...As may be gathered from the tropes below, Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Special Edition is an elaborate hoax LP by docfuture, spanning everything from the surreal to the horrific. docfuture's LP can be watched here on the Let's Play Archive, or here on the Internet Archive. |

Power Creep, Power Seep: Knuckles, who explicitly can't jump as high as Sonic in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, can jump high enough to leave the atmosphere from Aquatic Ruin Zone in this game. There is a cheat code to Nerf him to more reasonable levels, but even then he still jumps high enough to cross the upper boundary of the level. |

Unwinnable by Design: Docfuture includes a video clip of the Nick Arcade episode where Melissa Joan Hart plays an early build of Sonic 2: Special Edition. She's challenged to beat both acts of Emerald Hill Zone within 35 seconds—and she utterly blazes through, matching the pace of a world record speedrunner. Even so, she runs out of time midway through Act 2, indicating the challenge was impossible all along. |

Recycled Soundtrack: The game uses a lot of music from OverClocked ReMix, particularly their Sonic 2 remix album Hedgehog Heaven. |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The game engine is somehow powered by belief, so in Mystic Cave Zone the game itself begins to degrade because too many in the audience doubts the game's existence. Docfuture even includes an excerpt from Peter Pan as he calls on his viewers to will the game back into existence. |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Try pausing while docfuture fast forwards through a cutscene he's already watched to see various curiosities. The correct answer to the Mystic Cave Zone Boss's question is a screen-filling wall of text, but docfuture selects it fast enough that it's only on-screen for about a second. |

comment |
Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Failure Cresh was hated by his parents and mocked by his peers, because he was born with a 10-ring monitor for a head. His childhood and adolescence were so terrible that his recruitment in the Army—explicitly so his squadmates could kill him for a powerup if necessary—was still the happiest time of his life. |

Zero-Effort Boss |
| | Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Special Edition (Web Video) / int_6edb0066 |
comment |
Zero-Effort Boss: Sonic 2's original endgame is nerfed for some reason. The game gives you Super Sonic just before the Wing Fortress Zone boss, completely trivializing that fight. In Death Egg Zone, Silver Sonic doesn't fight at all, and just directs you to the location of the final boss... who doesn't attack and goes down after a single hit. |

Significant Name Overlap: The Game-Breaking Bug that docfuture encounters in Casino Night Zone apparently occurs because he has exactly the wrong episode of The Office (US) in the same folder as Sonic 2: Special Edition on his computer. The game freezes because it can't tell if it's supposed to open "casinonight.lvl" or "casinonight.avi". Docfuture fixes the issue by merging the two files, which explains why Act 2B takes place inside Jim's subconscious. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In No Blood For Oil Zone, docfuture destroys a 10-ring monitor, blissfully unaware that he's actually killing (Mercy Killing?) Failure Cresh. In Sky Chase Zone, when Sonic destroys badniks and frees the animals inside, said animals simply fall off the bottom of the screen. Docfuture wonders where the animals are falling to. Cut to a scene on the ground, where the falling animals are completely demolishing New York City with the force of their impact. |

Take a Third Option: When the Mystic Cave Zone boss asks his question, the UI makes it look like your only answers are "yes" or "no". But the correct response is actually to keep moving the cursor and select the hidden third answer: "It depends on whether you need to specifically believe in a classical Judeo-Christian ideal of omnipotence for this corny paradox to even work. Don't waste my time with this Philosophy 101 crap." |

Fetish: Failure Cresh was lucky that Pepper Irish had a fetish for men with monitors for heads. The subtitles for the commercial halfway through Aquatic Ruin Zone wonder if it's possible for a black man to have a fetish for black chicks. Apparently Knuckles has a fetish for fat chicks and unreasonably large boobs. |

Stealth Parody: If you haven't figured it out yet, Sonic 2: Special Edition doesn't exist and docfuture's LP is a joke. The Emerald Hill Zone video is actually a pretty convincing hoaxnote aside from misspelling the zone name at the start of act 2, using music from OverClocked ReMix and Machinae Supremacy, and a brief Big-Lipped Alligator Moment as Sonic approaches the boss...oh, and the opening screen has the game copyright 1991, the year the first Sonic game came out, but every subsequent video adds increasing amounts of random crap to clue in the viewers that it's a joke... and to hurt the brain of anyone who doesn't get the joke. He was inspired by the development secrets of Sonic 2. |

We Can Rebuild Him: In the Casino Night Zone opening cutscene, Knuckles and Tails accidentally crush Amy under their ship. Fortunately, the zone also happens to have the world's first cloning machine, so they clone Amy back to life, and older to boot... which handily explains her change in appearance between Sonic CD and Sonic Adventure. |

Overly Long Gag: After beating Metropolis Zone, you're treated to a Long List of playable characters you just unlocked, who get increasingly absurd and less related to the Sonic franchise as the list goes on, and all the while the victory fanfare loops over and over. It goes on for so long, docfuture has to end the episode before it can finish. |

Mood Whiplash: No Blood For Oil Zone goes on a tangent to show viewers the hilariously tragic backstory of a specific 10-monitor, who's actually a man named Failure Cresh. After five minutes of making the viewers empathize with Mr. Cresh and feel the horror of his situation, the action cuts back to docfuture—who blithely smashes the monitor for its 10 rings, ending Failure Cresh's life without realizing it. Then the upbeat Sonic music kicks in and the LP continues right along as if nothing ever happened. |

I Was Just Joking: Features in one of the behind-the-scenes promos that docfuture includes. According to an anonymous member of Sonic Team, Yuji Naka once came to work drunk and angry, ranting about how badly the development of Sonic X-treme was going, and despairing over Sega's prospects of competing with Nintendo. He ended his tirade with a sarcastic, "Fuck it! Let's just make Sonic 2 again!" The rest of Sonic Team didn't realize he was joking until the remake was too far along to cancel. |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Modeled after the one from Animal House. Knuckles the Echidna became a professional beekeeper. Mikhail Gorbachev became the mascot of Fruity Pebbles. Silver Sonic is a judge with attitude who don't take no crap. Melissa Joan Hart became the first woman to walk on the moon. Disney's Aladdin is currently serving time in Guantanamo Bay. Dr. Robotnik is so fat that he stepped on a rainbow and made Skittles. Amy Rose built the world's first solar-powered buffalo. Sonic and Tails are married with five daughters. Ray the Squirrel holds the world record for least employed squirrel. Failure Cresh was reincarnated as John Belushi. |

comment |
The subtitles for the commercial halfway through Aquatic Ruin Zone wonder if it's possible for a black man to have a fetish for black chicks. |

Once per Episode: Every gameplay video starts with a prayer, which may or may not be spoken by docfuture. Except for the Metropolis Zone video, which is shown Back To Front, so it ends with a prayer instead. |

comment |
Fission Mailed: When you beat Hilltop Zone, you get a Game Over screen anyway and get sent back to the pre-level cutscene. After the third fakeout Game Over, the game sends you back to the pre-title screen credits — and then proclaims "You've Unlocked Your Fate", indicating that you beat the level after all. (These may, however, be caused by Tails getting back at the player.) In the particularly Mind Screwy final levels, a fake ending cutscene is followed by another level... underwater, with no air bubbles. Sonic drowns. Then the credits start rolling, and get interrupted by a Record Needle Scratch and another cutscene. Then the real final levels happen. |

Abusive Advertising: docfuture plays some TV ads for the game, including one where Sonic harasses a live-action Mario and Luigi while the narrator declares, "Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Special Edition. Only for Sega 32X CD. Buy it, or I'll find you." |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: See Artificial Brilliance and Breaking the Fourth Wall, above. If you mistreat Tails (by, say, abandoning him in Casino Night Zone), his "hints" are replaced by passive-aggressive mockery, and he eventually tries to kill you in Wing Fortress Zone. |
