[1.1] About Sonic the Hedgehog 2
-------------------------------------
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a fun, action game created by Sonic Team and was
a great success. Featuring a new character, Miles "Tails" Prower, you
will have fun controlling it and fun time playing it.
Also, there are more, great 3D special stages where you must go to
obtain the 7 Chaos Emeralds and to become the most powerful, Super
Sonic.
Even though it's an old game, I still play with it so, play it now!

<2> Things You Should Know <2>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are several things scattered throughout the Sonic world and you
should know what are they.
-------------------------------------
[2.1] Item Boxes and Things
-------------------------------------
Item box with stars - Invincibility for a short time.
Item box with Sonic or Tails' picture - Extra life
Item box with ring - Ten rings
Item box with blue, circular thing - Shield and will protect you from
one hit.
Item box with shoe - Speed up character's speed for a short while.
Item box with Robotnik's picture - Make you get hit by something (only
appears in 2 player Vs. mode).
Item box with two arrows - Make you switch location with other player
(only appears in 2 player Vs. mode).
Lamppost (red colour with star) - Save point, you'll return here when
your character die. If you have 50 rings and above, go past this
lamppost and a red, circular thing will appear. Jump into it to enter
the special stage.
Red Bumper - Makes you jump higher.
Yellow Bumper - Makes you jump lower.
-------------------------------------
[2.2] Something to Beware and Know
-------------------------------------
Try to take caution everytime and every moment. When you touch or get
hit by an enemy, it will cause your rings to come out. So, try and get
at least one ring for safety.
If you get more than 100 rings, you will automatically get an extra
life. If you succeed in all special stages, you have the seven Chaos
Emerald and therefore, you can become Super Sonic. To become Super
Sonic, get at least 50 rings and jump only once.
In the water, try not to go in too long or Sonic will die. There will b
a group of bubbles and Sonic must grab the biggest bubble to breathe in.
Most importantly, there will be a ten minute limit where you must get to
the end quickly or it will be a 'Time Over' so don't waste your time too
much.
-------------------------------------
[2.3] Controls
-------------------------------------
The controls are quite easy and simple. A, B and C button to jump and
hold down the down button and press the A, B or C button to spin.
Enemies can be hit by Sonic's spinning ball.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
<3> Sonic the Hedgehog 2 <3>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 starts with a green area and it always will. There
are more than 8 stages to play in and you'll forget the time! Some
players have difficulties in certain levels so that's why this guide is
made for!
-------------------------------------
[3.1] Emerald Hill Zone
-------------------------------------
This zone should not cause a lot of problem to players. For starters,
try collecting rings and item boxes and avoid enemies. This is the same
for both Act 1 and Act 2.
There will be many things you can learn here, including avoiding enemies
and here's the right place to sharpen your playing skills and test them
here.
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Drilling Car Machine - 8 Hits
----
At the end of Act 2, you'll get to know with Dr. Robotnik. This time, he
brings his drilling machine with a build-in car. Remember, jump
everytime and try and avoid his drills. Jump on his head whenever
possible, and it takes 8 hits to destroy him completely.
-------------------------------------
[3.2] Chemical Plant Zone
-------------------------------------
You're introduced to an even harder place and this is one of the stages
I hate the most. You will learn more things here, destroying spider
enemies and try to avoid the jumping blue, thing. That's Act 1.
In Act 2, there will be water and try and use your skills properly here.
Near the end, there will be water around. Jump quickly on the moving
platforms from time to time. Don't get too long in the water or Sonic
will die.
There will be certain floors containing flipping things. Try and see
carefully where it will flip on top so jump on it and continue.
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Water Machine - 8 Hits
-----
Again, at the end of Act 2, introducing another irritating boss. Try and
stand in the middle and avoid his blue power everytime. Once you hit him
8 times, he will be destroyed.
-------------------------------------
[3.3] Aquatic Ruin Zone
-------------------------------------
One of the stages I like the most, the water here are not really
dangerous but you still must be careful and jump everytime to grab air.
There will be a group of bubbles so try and find carefully.
Try and avoid and don't get too near the arrow-shooter. You can duck it
or jump over it. There are more enemies, flies and robotic drills.
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Hammer-Arrow Machine - 8 Hits
-----
Now, Dr. Robotnik returns once more in his easy to defeat machine. There
will be two, long, bird-like poles. Robotnik will hammer his machine and
that will cause the arrow to come out.
Don't get hit by the arrows. Jump on the arrows and hit him. Do this 8
times and his machine will be destroyed. Then, go jump on the capsule
happily to free the animals.
-------------------------------------
[3.4] Casino Night Zone
-------------------------------------
As the name says, this place is casino-like where there are lots of
pinball flippers here. You can also get many rings here and extra points
from the machines.
There will be the elevator, more enemies and of course, hidden item
boxes. Continue playing and explore yourself but don't waste too much
time.
There will be certain bumpers where you need to press and hold the A
button, then release.
Oh yes, believe it or not, we've got Super Sonic in this stage so it
will be really much easier to defeat enemies like Robotnik. Just be
careful not to fall to endless pits and don't go TOO fast.
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Pinball Ball Machine - 8 Hits
-----
There will be a bit difficulty here in defeating the madman. You need to
use the pinball flippers and guide your way on top of his head. But,
beware of his balls and don't jump straight into his electricity when he
use it. You can also spin by holding the down button and press A button
and try and guide your way on top of him.
Just be patient but you'll need a long time for beginners. That's why I
advise you not to waste time.
-------------------------------------
[3.5] Hill Top Zone
-------------------------------------
A fun, zone to explore despite its lava and bottomless holes. There will
be more dangerous enemies here.
Also, at certain areas, there will be a moving platform were you MUST be
careful not to fall into bottomless areas or lavas. Also, on certain
parts, you must move quickly since the lava will rise up. Try and get
used to fast speed or you'll lose.
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Lava Shooter - 8 Hits
-----
An even dangerous creation in a dangerous place. You must stand on the
platforms and see through his style. He may shoot his lava on certain
places so try and jump to other platforms. Remember to hit him when he
appears.
Just be patient and you'll succeed!
-------------------------------------
[3.6] Mystic Cave Zone
-------------------------------------
Said to be the mysterious and oldest place on Mobius, it is very
dangerous and dark here. There will be spikes and new enemies almost
everywhere!
You will be introduced to vines where you must jump on them to bring you
up or to open something. This is really important!
Continue exploring but just be careful and you can win this whole stage
and reach the boss.
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Drilling Machine - 8 Hits
-----
Robotnik is back with his mean creation. He will drill the top and
spikes and balls will fall down. Just avoid the spikes!
He will come down after drilling so take the chance to hit him at least
two times! Continue doing this and you will win. Remember to avoid him
whenever he charges his machine at you!
-------------------------------------
[3.7] Oil Ocean Zone
-------------------------------------
I really hate this place since the music is a bit eerie and it's a bit
hard. There will be purple oil everywhere. When you drop to the oil, try
and jump out or Sonic will sink and die.
There will be spikes and a few new things. There will be the fan and the
'must push' green thing to boost Sonic up.
Just play through the level. The abilities used are almost like all
stages above!
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Tail Laser Machine - 8 Hits
-----
You must jump onto one of the two platforms and avoid his tail-shooting
laser. Jump on him in the middle as soon as he appears!
Jump over his laser, he'll shoot three times. The third time it will
burn the platform for a while. Continue to do this 8 times and his
machine will be destroyed.
-------------------------------------
[3.8] Metropolis Zone
-------------------------------------
One of the hardest stage ever! There will be lavas, spikes, moving gears
and many more idiotic enemies!
Sometimes, you'll need to jump on gear and run to the right to lift it
up and left to go down. Just use your brains carefully here.
Oh yes, just in case you need it, there will be a brown, spike-box. It
always moves in this order, left, up, right, down and it will continue
endlessly. This should help you to time carefully when you should jump.
Also, this is th only zone that has 3 Acts! At the end of Act 3, you
will have to fight a medium hard boss, after all those hard and tough
work getting out from the level!
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Mini Bubble-Robotnik Machine - 8 Hits
-----
Dr. Robotnik will appear with a protective bubbles, in his own face. You
must hit his bubbles a few times until all his bubbbles are gone. Then,
take the chance to hit him and he will be destroyed.
Remember to hit him quickly once all the bubbles are gone or he will
continue to shoot lasers.
-------------------------------------
[3.9] Sky Chase Zone
-------------------------------------
There are only 1 Act here and you can breathe out a sigh of relief. This
stage features a peaceful, background music. This time, you're standing
on the airplane, the Tornado.
You must destroy enemies in the air. Also, when you jump to other
places, Tails will ALWAYS follow you so you can't drop and you can jump
onto the tortoise's back.
But still, you must take care when you jump about everywhere as Tails
will not be ALWAYS there to help you but that is rare. Thank goodness,
no boss here!
-------------------------------------
[3.10] Wing Fortress Zone
-------------------------------------
The hardest stage of all! There are only 1 Act here, thank goodness too
as it's very hard! Fasten up your seat belts and get ready your
controller properly.
In the beginning, you're still on the airplane. After the laser hits
Tails, jump quickly on to the platform or you'll fall and die.It's very
hard here and it's like a little maze.
In one part, you must jump from platform to platform QUICKLY and try and
jump quickly from cannon to cannon quick or you'll fall to death. One of
the stages that you can lose a lot of life.
Try and avoid and hit enemies on your way. One boss here and it's a
little hard.
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Laser with Spikes Machine - 8 Hits
-----
Dr. Robotnik will control this machine and you can't hit him. You must
hit his machine. There will be spiky platform and you must jump on it in
order to gain enough height to hit his laser machine.
Do this 8 times and you will win and chase Robotnik. Also, try and jump
OVER the hole and you can get an extra life.
-------------------------------------
[3.11] Death Egg Zone
-------------------------------------
Wipe out your sweat and get ready for the last stage and it can be a bit
easy if you are good enough. There will not a single ring here so be
careful not to get hit!
Boss - Metal Sonic - 8 Hits
-----
Oh, you'll need a bit of practise here. Try and hit his head in the
beginning at least two times or the maximum three times.
He will jump and spin around but be careful not to touch his spikes.
After hitting him, he will be destroyed and you will be shown to his
ultimate invention.
Boss - Dr. Robotnik's Robot - 12 Hits
-----
A bit hard here. You must go a bit further and gain enough height to hit
his body but DON'T TOUCH HIS HAND-SPIKES or you will die and start all
over again. Try and experiment yourself.
When he flies up, he will target you so go to the most-right. When he
lands go to the most-left and stay there until his silly hands went back
to him.
He will fly up again and target you, so just go to the most-right and
avoid when he lands. Then, take the chance to hit him. Continue 12 times
and then you win! Congratulations!
Then, you'll see a short cartoon and you'll see Sonic or Tails fly down
and land on the airplane. If you get all the Chaos Emeralds, you become
Super Sonic and a bit special thing will happen. Try yourself!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
<4> Special Stages <4>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you very well know, there are seven Special Stages. You must get a
certain amount of rings in order to get the Chaos Emerald.
But, there will be certain traps there to make you lose your rings and
I'll try to list the special stages' style to help you prepare.
It's better if you can get your friend to control Tails to help getting
rings. That will be easier but remember, when Tails get hit, it will
make him lose rings too.
-------------------------------------
[4.1] Special Stage 1
-------------------------------------
It's easy and you get to know how to avoid a few bombs here.
-------------------------------------
[4.2] Special Stage 2
-------------------------------------
There will be rings left, right and middle path so get prepare everytime
and avoid bombs whenever possible.
-------------------------------------
[4.3] Special Stage 3
-------------------------------------
There will be more bombs here and it's spread everywhere. Try to get
used to it.
-------------------------------------
[4.4] Special Stage 4
-------------------------------------
There will be bombs everywhere, in the left, right and middle path so it
will get a bit difficult. Just try to avoid them.
-------------------------------------
[4.5] Special Stage 5
-------------------------------------
Try and avoid the bombs. On the third part, there will be no bombs so
try to get all the rings if possible. Try and get some teamwork with the
second player to make it easier.
-------------------------------------
[4.6] Special Stage 6
-------------------------------------
There will be bombs left and right and also circle bombs so try and
jump. Just try hard and you'll get it right.
-------------------------------------
[4.7] Special Stage 7

The hardest and final special stage. There will be random bombs and it
mainly uses all kinds of tricks and techniques as the above.
