hold right and sometimes press A to get through the level until you either win or fall into a pit of death. did someone at sega complain that the first game was too slow or something?
some of the worst bosses in the sonic series, with a boss rush at the end to make things worse
getting the true ending is such an incredibly painful chore that isn't worth it at all, as it requires you to find SEVEN specific items in a level and get to the end of the stage without dying, go through a special stage (cannot speak for the difficulty, didnt bother with this shit) and if you beat the special stage, you'll get a chaos emerald, rinse and repeat seven times, then beat the game with every character.
it was annoying enough to beat as sonic, so fuck that.
its got good pixel art and music i guess... so theres that. but other than that, this game just blows. idk if i can even fully blame dimps/sega for this, the gba and its screen crunch really do not mix with sonics style of platforming.
