If we're talking petty nitpicks, I prefer the snappy movement of the old versions' titlecards. 2.2's are definitely better, but I wished they slid into place less smoothly. Makes them feel, I dunno, sluggish?

I don't remember what version of SRB2 I was playing when I first completed it, but beating 2.2 for the first time was kinda bittersweet - all the new updated stuff was a blast to see, but ending it on the same old Egg Rock more or less felt like a sour note to end things on.

I actually quite enjoyed it the first time around, though I'll admit to cheesing Amy's CBT Chamber (I played the level with Sonic & Tails.) The cheese route I took was at least fun to come up with/pull off.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if SRB2 ever reached a state where it was considered "done". This isn't to like, trash the devs or anything, but with how much scope creep has happened (not necessarily unwarranted; no one would care about SRB2 if it was all finished in the final demo era) I doubt...

Well this is a surprise! Definitely excited to check this one out in a bit.

Hyper Sonic as some sort of Extras Menu-type reward doesn't sound all that great, but I guess I can see the charm of having it in the base game in some fashion. Personally, if HS were to be put in, I'd love for the Special Stage list to be expanded with the remaining indev zones (Dark City...

Found a bug: Tails Doll can target springs as if they were enemies.

You could always just replace 1-up monitors with the scrapped Silver Ring monitors or something else instead. As for making rings more compelling in a scenario with infinite lives, maybe bringing back the score emblems could work, as the player would want to hoard them to nab one?

A simple world map screen for Singleplayer, more like the one from Sonic Adventure 2 than the later games. I always found light worldbuilding like that a nice gesture.

As much as I love SRB2's sprite work, part of me feels like the sprite-based visuals have become a tad antiquated over the years, and can serve as an odd barrier to entry with modding. Then again, I actually prefer how the game looks in software renderer compared to OpenGL, so maybe I'm a...

Funny how Haunted Heights technically fits the bill of a "Slime Valley", haha.

Looks good so far!

How about an SRB1 cursed image?

Some oddball minigames, like the party games of the Super Monkey Ball series (Whack-A-Crawla? Sonic Golf?) I always thought they were some fun timewasters with friends, though I suppose custom gametypes fill that niche for SRB2.

I've only played a few levels so far, but might as well give my thoughts on them. For perspective, I played with Sonic and Tails. Valley Falls: There's some decent design here, but the way the stage is put together made it feel more like a tiring marathon of so-so levels to me, rather than just...
