[Open Assets] Super Sonic 2.2

This mod is great, Super sonic brings a challenge Even though he can't be hurt. i like that your ring counter flashes when you have 10 or less rings it's like the game is telling you to hurry up, And Super Sonic has support for MRCE Collecting the Fire key stone allows you transform into your fire form at 75 rings even without Rush Chars. I also think that a hyper form for completing Black hole is also a great idea, it makes players get good at NiGHTS for the final challenge over great mod!

This isn't a 5/5 bc of the Metal Sonic boss that takes most time so I just die. He's still a good-looking and the Super and Hyper Metal Race are challenging which I like. The Super colors make it funni.

I think this character version of Super Sonic is really good, and I like your attempts at balancing! I do have some small gripes though...

POSITIVE
+ It can be fun trying to speedrun levels while collecting as many rings as possible. You're always on a time limit here!
+ It's interesting how damaging bosses also give you rings.

NOTICES
/ Cannot collect Chaos Emeralds. Although it makes sense thinking about it, the 30 ring bonus is almost always nullified by the time it takes to even get most Chaos Coins (Emerald Token is a boring name) that half the time, you would be better off running off and ignoring it. Because Chaos Coins don't grant you continues, accidentally getting a Game Over and being sent all the way back to Greenflower is a pain.

NEGATIVES
- It hasn't happened to me yet but in later levels, ring are quite scare. I wouldn't be surprised if someone got softlocked at a certain checkpoint...
- Egg Coliseum, while beatable, is extremely tough as it isn't easy to get back rings. Wasting even a few seconds is almost always fatal.
- Black Core Act 2 is nigh impossible. Metal Sonic's charging phase last way too long. Again, the issue of not being able to gain continues harms Super Sonic a lot.

Man, this mod is a god send for the best reasons
also, is this just me or does Super Sonic grant all the emeralds to all the characters when playing the Encore Mod by Twins'R'Okay

I have tried out the mod before doing it with custom save file, and i wanted to ask some things
1. Is there a way to make the hyper and metal races their own separate level, or do i just have to deal with it with other character
2. How do i unlock whatever black hole zone is? Do i have to beat the game as him first or something?

This is one of the best mods I have ever tried. Although can you make it easier to obtain hyper sonic? I have a serious skill issue of beating Black Hole Zone. Anyways, it's amazing!

This is basically the most fun mod I have ever played, but there is one thing that's making this only 4 stars.
Can you fix Hyper Sonic? I keep getting 100 rings and I don't see his enhanced trail OR the music, nor can I transform, not even at 150 rings.

I love the idea of supersonic having to collect rings while trying to beat the game, it makes it more intense knowing if you don't collect rings you'll die

So, I will be honest and say that I have been burnt out on SRB2 completely since March of this year. I had forced out MCTails just so I could have it done with.

... then, you may ask, why did I play Super enough to be giving a review?
Well, you see, I wound up testing a few things for Ice, and aided with compatibility for MRCE. And, as a result, I playtested it.
Now, when I mean burnt out, I meant, I just. Didn't want to play. SRB2 was no longer fun.... but Super wound up, in a few select changes, making a whole new experience, one that I played despite that burnout.

I, after seeing a few select reviews, decided to sit down and, in call with a friend, play through the whole game with Super and give a review.

I had fun. The base moveset is accurate to the normal Super moveset, and the amount of rings was always fair as long as you went at a fast pace. I wound up going through RVZ1 somewhat quickly.

Now, the Super Metal Race is tough as nails, but, it by far wound up restoring the challenge I had 2 years ago with the Metal Sonic race, and I enjoyed trying again and again, and getting better at the harder race.

Now, Black Hole may be somewhat tough, but, as a temporary measure, it's fair. Fire Sonic is also really cool, as a SMBZ reference and general form idea. I also have enjoyed Fire Sonic's ability to stomp out of a dash quite a few times.

Whilst I wouldn't consider this among the best... that's not a fair comparison, for different mods have different visions and goals. With what you had in mind, Ice... you did a wonderful job.

For anyone wanting a mod that puts their knowledge of the game to the test, try this one out, because it really does test if you can get through stages quickly enough. Whilst I didn't struggle in this regard, a newer player easily could, and that's okay!

The best character mod right next to Adventure Sonic. I had so much fun with this guy, it's not even funny. I do have one flaw with him that's so big, it prevents this mod from getting the 5-star rating. It involves Hyper Sonic.
The method of unlocking him is very tedious, if you call beating a single NiGHTS stage tedious. The thing is, Black Hole Zone is too hard to beat, let alone first try. I get it's temporary until the Super Emeralds can be implemented, but something I would like to point out. Fortunately, the Hyper Sonic's Directional Dash mod by Sir Thoksalot can give you the Super Emeralds by collecting 7 Emerald Tokens after collecting the 7 Chaos Emeralds beforehand. Maybe that could be implemented come next update. Another thing with Hyper Sonic, you'd probably expect him to have Sonic Mania's freefly mode, as XMomentum by Frostiikin does that, but no. Maybe he can have that in the next update, too. Fire Sonic, tho. Nice reference to SMBZ, and he's pretty fun to use, too. All in all, excellent mod and would definitely recommend.

A really great character who fortunately is not just a copy of the vanilla super sonic.
ps: the ability to turn (and stay) super reminds me of the Super Mode from the 3Ds version of Sonic 2.

Really cool mod and now a can have all the chaos emlds on my castem save data yay

Well, this completely eliminates my worry for the final Nights Stage. Very cool.

(techno hill gave me some worries, but i was able to survive)

This is truly the SUPER experience!



Even since I started playing SRB2 in 2014 I've always wanted Super Sonic as a seperated character! And thus.. My dream came true!

Why do I love it!

It's not just Super Sonic. It has so much potential than just being a playable Super Sonic. It has limitations such as Ring Drain. Ring Gain and more!

AND IT HAS COLORS!!!
Seeing that you can change Super Sonic's colors are cool! Since right now you can take full advantage of it!.

I love this mod! Icezer, sure has made another quite Legendary mod again!

This is a really good mod! Having Super Sonic as a separate character seems like an instant win button, but I'm happy with how he's been balanced! It slightly changes the way you play a Sonic game.
Enemies are now things you actively try to hit instead of avoid, you move twice as fast which means you can clear levels faster but you're also hard to control, and losing a life when you run out of rings instead of losing your super form. It all blends together to give Super Sonic a unique feel when playing as him!
I dig the added sound effects too, nice touch to add a bit more satisfaction to hitting enemies!

This is a great mod I haven't experienced in awhile. My only downgrades of this mod are the sound effects when you kill an enemy and hit a boss, at first find it cool but it starts to get annoying. Though, keep the token sound effect. You don't hear them often making it less annoying. I also think you should make BCZ1 more multiplayer possible as there are barely enough rings if a lot of people would want to be super sonic. This wouldn't be a problem if the door did not close after some time. Other than that, I can tell how much effort was in here, awesome work! If you try to pull a super in match with this character like in 2.1 for ringslinger though... this will be an instant 1 star lol.

i loved it this is a really fun challenge like WOW

He. is. HERE! (best Sonic Ever, cant wait for hyper sonic or your take on STC's Super Sonic, if you can make them that is)

this is one of the most barebones concepts and simplest executions for any mod i've ever seen.


so why the HELL do i like it so much?????

seriously! srb2 turns into a completely different experience now that super sonic has been turned from a "fun bonus" to "run fast super hedgehog that death clock is ticking". i found a lot of super fun and interesting strategy to think about when i started playing, like deciding which route to travel on for maximum ring gain, strategically dying to grind for 1ups (admit it, it's clever!), strategically dying to regain rings, of all things, and deciding on the fly whether it's a good idea to make a break for it or go and grind for more rings.

i do have a few criticisms though, i think first and foremost the enemy ring gain should be raised to 3 at the least. most of the time when i go out of my way to defeat an enemy, i end up with a net loss of rings, which can definitely make a difference. secondly...i'm sure it wouldn't hurt to get close range ring attraction, would it? i found myself constantly missing rings just barely, which is more of an annoyance than a problem, but it would definitely help if you could attract rings if you were extremely close to them. maybe about half of sonic's diameter away would do.

otherwise jesus fuck i love the new gameplay experience this provides ok bye

This is fine but im disappointed missed potential
