What's the purpose of this poofy mouse running behind me? Is this just a gimmick? I have been paying him no attention during this whole playthrough. Am I missing something? Sonicfags please enlighten me.

Think it was so two players could fight bosses together.
>>3315341
A sidekick for two player mode.
>>3315395
In the other one with Kniggles you can play 3 chars.
>>3315341
You can turn off Tails if you go into options mode at the title screen, it's underneath 2player mode.
>>3315341
I always beat Metropolis Zone boss with Tails.
>>3315341
>poofy mouse
I laughed way too hard.
I mean, he can add extra hits to bosses at times/help you collect more rings
I usually play as just Sonic though because it's 20 percent cooler without some pipsqueek little EGGHEAD following you around
I've always found tails fucked up the special stages by always getting hit by bombs.
Sonic alone is Sonic best
>>3315341
>Is this just a gimmick?
Yes, the game also has casualized speed, tacked-on multiplayer, and future DLC. If you bought Sonic 2 then you are the cancer killing videogames.
>>3315648
>also has casualized speed
What the hell does that even mean?
>>3315657
In Sonic 1, high speed/momentum was something you had to fight for and maintain by skilled gameplay.
In Sonic 2 you press down + mash ABC 8 times and you are automatically at max speed.

>In Sonic 1, high speed/momentum was something you had to fight for and maintain by skilled gameplay.
Only that doesn't work because the max speed isn't very fast at all and the levels aren't really made for going fast 90 percent of the time, more about slow careful platforming
>In Sonic 2 you press down + mash ABC 8 times and you are automatically at max speed.
And you can still be punished for it, only it actually ALLOWS you to go fast when needed
Guys, I'm playing Sonic CD now. I'm fucking stuck in the flipper land (future?) level.
(But I love the japanese soundtrack!!)
>>3315705
I was also wise enough this time around to deactivate the poofy mouse.
>>3315710
The poofy mouse wasn't in CD, dumbfuck.
>>3315724
Pretty sure that idiot was going a thing we call sarcasm, my fine feathered autistic friend
>>3315724
Isn't he in CD REmake
>RetroAss filename
Fuck off, shill
>>3315793
replying to filenames is a meme in itself
>>3315661
Oh boy, THIS old chestnut.
>In Sonic 2 you press down + mash ABC 8 times and you are automatically at max speed.
But that's fucking wrong and it only works when you're at the top of an incline like in Chemical Plant or something.
The boosting mechanic fits your description more. Plus as >>3315679 said, Sonic 1's speed was capped as fuck because they still weren't sure how to go about making it work yet.
>>3315732
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have said "poofy mouse" if I didn't realize the joke
It took me 5 fucking minutes to finish this level. lol

can you explain this to me? i actually don't know how this future stuff works. I only read on wikipedia that this game is about time travel. I hate when retro games have no apparent story line ingame and you have to read it up in some manual. I'm glad this is gone.
>>3316446
You can either spend half a fucking our on each stage, searching for time travel posts, then a spot where you can speed up enough to travel into the past, and then search for a robot factory and a metal sonic hologram, to get a good future.
Or you can ignore all that horseshit and just get the 7 chaos emeralds and you automatically get the good futures everywhere.
>>3316453
okay, I just wanna play the game. Maybe for a second playthrough I'll look at these things you mentioned.
>>3315341
that's a monkey you fucking retard
>>3315341
> Doesn't understand Tails
How do we get rid of this summer infestation /vr/?
>>3315648
>buying Sonic 2
>not getting it for free with your Sega Genesis

this is tail's purpose.
>>3315341
Why are the graphics blurry?
>>3316807
Because he's not playing on an emulator you underaged faggot
Guys can I skip Sonic Pinball? Seems like an off-topic entry not worth it. Or is it really good and worth it? Just tested in 5 mins and was not motivated, as I found the flipper level in cD the hardest. I'd rather continue with 3, I think.
>>3315341
it's a monkey
>>3316871
I thought it was squirrel because it is smaller than a hedgehog.
>>3316868
Its a pretty fun pinball game.
>>3316453
They're called time stones in this game not chaos emeralds.
I'll take a moment to shill Classic Heroes and say that you can switch between controlling Sonic and Tails with a single button press.
>>3316827
read the filename in OP's image and tell me he isn't using an emulator you fucking dumbass
>>3316453
I don't think you need to smash the holograms. Just kill the robo machines and you get a good future.
But then until this year when I finally bothered to get the good ending I thought there were only 6 time stones, so shows what I know dunnit.
>>3316868
Spinball is what happens when Americans get to make design decisions about Sonic. No need to play that or it's spirtual sequel (that's right cunt) Sonic Boom.
>>3315341
I love the background in this stage. It's beautiful.
>>3316868
Spinball is bastard hard but it is a solid pinball game. If you don't like pinball feel free to skip it.
hey sonic fans, what was the game that this happened in?
>>3317663
Sonic the hedgehog 2 for game gear?
>>3316868
just spend some time in the first level, toxic caves, because the music is 10/10
>>3315403
> Kniggles
