This sounds like a pointless inclusion/suggestion, but it'd be kind of nice if you could change color in singleplayer? I suppose with the way the player/color changer works would allow you to switch players at will but hey maybe I want to be neon green Sonic for one level. Not that such a feature would be REALLY necessary defeating the purpose of me suggesting it in the first place but I'd appreciate it none the less :u

Really, it's different here. In the original Sonic 3, for instance, you knew that you could do things with a shield because there were so few buttons to begin with and it was just pressing jump again. Here, you've got a whole keyboard laid out in front of you, and so how do you know that spinning uses a shield's function rather than simply pressing jump again? That and strafing are the only things I think this game doesn't really explain that you need.
also, i remember srb2's manual i liked it
Defeats the point of having another character in the fray to unlock. I agree with BW's sentiments- have her as a lesser unlockable than Metal. That is if she could even work somehow. Like Neo said, Metal alone is cool because he's just that awesome and worthy of being an unlockable. Amy? Hrmm..

Nights mode has a quite limited draw distance by default (unlike the rest of the game) so that's probably part of it.
Knuckles' idle animation should function differently.
Currently he will wait 8 seconds before slowly chuckling continuously. It would look more natural if his chuck animation was faster, and also if he only chuckled in spurts.
Tails' could also use a little improvement; he should interchange between standing and yawning sprites, similar to how his idle animation works in the official games.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. If this maze was done anywhere else that wasn't the vanilla levels, everyone would be butthurt.

Mystic. I think he's said in the past that the section playtests well.

Was. A damn. Question. A suggestion. A recommendation. No one said "Hey, lets beat the hell out off the kid for thinking about something in case he happens not to be 100%."
(And its not like that one time where i recommended ledge grab. I asked for it that time. And no one actually got me for that one except one person)
Besides, The things that crashes the game the most are unseen anyway. Like the old Armageddon shield glitch. Oh, but you might be right about why the nights draw distance being low.

Half of you say "Oh look, the classics are perfection"
While at the same time saying "But we can't do just like the classics, we should be original"
and then saying "But the classics..." Whenever someone talks about implementing something not from S1,S2 or S3!
What is wrong with you people.

Not true, you can choose nights draw distance in the options. If you dared to look. It just happens to be set lower. It can be infinite too.

I'm just gonna throw this back up because no one seems to have seen it.Look guys, I know you don't wanna over do it, And I don't curse much here, but...
WHY THE HELL IS IT THAT:
YELLOW DOES NOT USE ALL THE DAMN SHADES OF YELLOW?
Hell, olive doesn't even use half, and black should use 16 even IF it uses the darker part of... what, 32 hue-less values? Are you serious ಠ_ಠ?
The whole palette:
are you FUCKING kidding me!?!?

I'm just gonna throw this back up because no one seems to have seen it. And because I really really care about that thing, to be honest.
Also, about the palette thing in the previous post... Black uses the darkest 8 shades of black because it's supposed to be black, not gray. For the darkest 16 shades of black to actually be black, you'd need a character that has really dark colours before being coloured, to be honest. I mean, look at this Sonic. (That's a link to a picture.) On the left is gray, or what you call black. On the right is something that actually looks black.
But yellow, I have to admit, it should had used all 16 shades. *Checks* Nope, looks absolutely horrible. It should had used the 12 darkest shades of yellow, though, that looks good. But well, what has been decided has been decided.

Oh, and was anyone complaining about there not being a manual? It's outdated* and looks horrible, beware. But hey, it exists.
* Design and content on SRB2 is copyright 1998-2009 by Sonic Team Junior. That's how outdated it is.

That manual is actually decent, it should come back including the newer content with it.

Stop being spastic.
The ring loss works like Sonic 1/2/3 because it literally was meant to emulate those games. Partial ring loss would be inaccurate to what people expect from something inspired by the old Sonic games, and we want to be faithful to that.
Setting aside that, the game is balanced around this mechanic for two reasons.
1. There are lots of shields now. Multiplayer starts you off with a shield, Single Player has magnetic, elemental, and force shields all over the levels, and they're designed to help you keep your rings. You can get hit a few times and not lose your rings because of this.
2. This game is designed around you being able to dodge everything. The only excuse for you to lose your rings is that you were not good enough. The ring emblems are designed to test your skill, so you shouldn't get hit. The vanilla game rewards you for every 100 rings you get, and partial ring loss would make gaining 1ups too easy. I can get like 20-30 lives in a no-save run, but without rings this drops to 10 and under.
