Classic Specials v1

[CloneFighter]

antonretrojr submitted a new resource:

Classic Specials - What's that over the Star Post?

Ever wanted to bring back your memories of playing Sonic games on the Genesis?
Ever wondered if there would ever be classic Special Stages without the use of Many Minor Tweaks? Shoutout to that btw, it was the inspiration
Ever felt like you wanted to try entering Special Stages in a new way?

If you've answered yes to either of these questions, this add-on is for you.
This little script adds a couple ways of entering a Special Stage, inspired by the classics.

A crash can occur if you happen to die on your last life upon touching a Token, if using Sonic 3 Style. Might also happen with the other styles though I haven't tried those yet.

Spoiler

You can die after touching a Token from stuff like drowning, or space countdown. Should you have any lives, you'll respawn from the last checkpoint and then warp to the Special Stage, exiting the special stage will put you back onto the last floor that you stood on, which in the above image's case... just outside the gravity flip space countdown area. However...


...should you have one life left and this occurs... you'll enter the special stage normally but... after you clear/fail it... there will be a ? Block on the results screen... and then the game crashes.

so it turns out when i type csp_enable soniccd it just goes to sonic 1?

so i just read more in and for some reason you set SONIC CD. TO SONIC 1. that makes half sense. on one side sonic cd uses time travel which is for 4 but it also has a big ring.

(speaking of big rings, special minigames has a big ring graphic from chaotix, perhaps ask to use it?)

Well, I based the setting names off of the games the special stage access methods occur in, not the gimmick. Time travel to access a Special Stage wasn't in CD, but the Giant Ring At The End method was.
Apologies for the really late reply...

BuggieTheBug made a reusable portal ring mod, you could use that for sonic 1/cd special stages
