Current Events > Sonic 1 and 2 on mobile are literally the best versions and Sega is dumb *rant*

(+) Yeah! (+)

They were the best versions when you had to pay for them. But now they're """updated""" to be free to play and littered with ads. Plus Sonic 1 just straight up cant be beaten due to a new glitch in Scrap Brain Act 2 that wasn't there before. They still have all the amazing features and afaik Sonic 2 still plays perfectly fine. But it sucks that Sega messed them up like this when they had a good thing going and refuses to port these versions of Sonic 1 and 2 to consoles or PC.

I highly recommend these ports and you should buy the ad-free versions, but also somehow find a way to play version 2.1.1 of Sonic 1 and version 3.1.5 of Sonic 2 >______> These are the most up to date versions of these games right before they went free-to-play and got all fucked up.

So you're probably asking "Neon 'Titty Meister' Octopus, how the FUCK is a mobile version literally the best version of such classic games as Sonic 1 and 2!? That's an oxymoron!" Well grasshopper, let me enlighten you. These ports were made by the same guys who did Sonic Mania way back when. It plays smoothly, controls surprisingly well with touch (controller support is there too) and have a ton of quality of life improvements and additions, such as:

-Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are playable in both games. Tails can fly and can carry Sonic at any time.
-All characters can use super forms in both games
-Debug mode is retained and even added beta easter eggs for Sonic 1 such as the cut goggle monitor and the cut rabbit enemy.
-Spindash is available in Sonic 1
-Hidden Palace was reimagined and added as an optional secret zone in Sonic 2. The original, unfinished level is available to play too via cheats
-Widescreen, 60fps
-4 Save slots that save after every Act
-Can retry special stages from the pause menu if you have lives to spare
-Sonic 1 has a 7th chaos emerald stage added, Sonic 2 has an 8th special stage added. Both via cheats
-Elemental shields are added in Sonic 1 and 2, and Sonic 2 has a mode that randomizes and obscures all power-up boxes
-Sonic 1 spike glitch and speed caps are fixed, but can be reenabled on the level select menu if you want an authentic Sonic 1 experience
-Sonic 2 adds a boss rush mode
-Other shit I can't be arsed to type. Read about all the little differences and cheat codes here:

I fucking love these ports and I wish more people knew about them >_> They really are the definitive versions of these games. Go play them, hopefully using the versions I mentioned above.

Sega can stick it for not porting over these perfected Taxman masterpieces.

I have a bought Sonic 2 on my phone, but playing it on a phone touch screen is janky as shit.
I'm glad I have it, but it's not the way to play it.

Sega is mad jelly that Whitehead made a better game and its loved and cherished.

Part of me almost expects these widescreen/60 fps ports to be ported to PC by fans in a similar treatment to Sonic 3&K. It's bound to happen with how crazy the Sonic fan dev community is.

I really hope someone one day hacks a Sonic 1 and 2 rom with all these features. Would be lit

Yep, I was going to say it's because Whitehead made them. Guy needs to be put in charge of their ports. He actually ports games rather than just emulating them with their shitty inhouse emulator.

These aren't ports. They're remakes from the ground up, made to be similar but better than the originals.

Literally use the same graphic and sound assets, how is that a remake?

Glitch in Sonic 1 making it unbeatable? I beat it just fine right after they released it under Sega forever

@ssjevot Taxman rebuilt the game from the ground up using almost identical assets as the original. Almost identical =/= the same. It's a remake.

Well they updated a few tiles afterwards and it got fucked up. The version I said to use in the OP works fine now
