Changes from Version 2.1#

Being the biggest update yet, and originally launching in December 7th 2019, this version revamps almost every graphic in the game and every level up to Red Volcano Zone.

General#

  • Slopes were added into almost every level of the main campaign with the sole exception of Egg Rock Zone, including being able to launch off quarter-pipes like in other Sonic games.
  • Almost every song was redone.
  • The player now faces the direction pointed to by the inputs instead of the camera's direction.

Graphics/Textures#

  • Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles all got new sprites.
    • Sonic's sprites were completely redrawn to better fit the new artstyle.

Christmas 0.90-2.1.25

2.2.0-2.2.15
    • Ditto for Tails.

Christmas 0.93-2.1.25

2.2.0-2.2.15
    • Knuckles' shading was redone.

2.1.0-2.1.25

2.2.0-2.2.15

v2.2.x Patches#

Differences In Level Design#

During the various 2.2 updates, things have been added or removed to the campaign levels.

Tutorial#

  • The tutorial in 2.2.10 was redone, updating it to 2.2 standards.

2.2.0-2.2.9

2.2.10
  • Decorations such as vegetation and arrows have been added.
  • A skybox was added.

Techno Hill Act 2#

  • In the secondary route, more windows with slime have been added.
  • The breakable floor for Amy and Fang at the end of the side path was made more apparent to the player.
  • Some of Eggman's gray boxes have been reoriented, making them more natural.
  • The Diamond emblem's position is changed, now being in a hole.

Castle Eggman Act 1#

  • The alternate exit became inaccessible since version 2.2.5, causing the bridge to no longer be destroyed.
  • Added darkness to pits to make them more dangerous.

Castle Eggman Act 2#

  • In 2.2.1, many unfinished routes were removed to improve the games performance.

In the part where the floor collapses, there are some bars that block access to the second area.

Another unused part. In the same part where the floor collapses, there is a place where only Tails can go. There are lives and enemies, although it is blocked by bars. If you use the NOCLIP cheat and go through the gates, you will find an almost complete section of the level.

This room has no decoration or details, there is a layout here. Although it is inaccessible without the NOCLIP cheat, you can see a part of the place from the level itself thanks to the windows.

  • In 2.2.6, the texture of a removed path changed.

Egg Rock Act 1#

  • In 2.2.11, Egg Rock Zone was updated to allow bigger characters to get through the level.

Sonic Team Jr. Presents#

Although it was used in the first versions of 2.2, the "Sonic Team Jr. Presents" screen was replaced by one that says "This game should not be sold" in 2.2.6.

2.2.0-2.2.5

2.2.6

The 2.1 version of the Sonic Team Jr. Presents intro has a small segment of Dr. Eggman about to eat pure fat from a truck.

This intro was present in 2.2, though in 2.2.5 the truck was edited to say '2.2 LEAKS', before finally being axed in 2.2.7.

2.1-2.2.4

2.2.7
