Started to work on Sonic 2. I picked this up after submitting it to DreamHack earlier in the year.
This version actually has a bizarre quirk that I haven't seen anyone else pickup on - if you play as Sonic + Tails with the elemental shields on, when you insta-shield with Sonic, if Tails is 'active' (i.e. not dead/respawning), Sonic actually gets a mini second jump in the air. Had to relearn almost all of the game because of it, it impacts basically every stage.
In all honestly, I only did a couple of no reset sessions of this, and while this was by far the best of those runs, it's still far below my typical standard (quite a few of the stages even early on I would reset on normally) and I fully intend on coming back to this at some point, but I really lost motivation to play this after DreamHack so I figured I may as well actually post this for now, and come back later.
I plan on doing Tails & Amy runs for Sonic 2 on Origins Plus as well like I did for Sonic 1. Won't be touching CD or S3K on Origins Plus tho, as I much prefer the original versions of those games.
I time with In-Game timing since I don't pause it just makes more sense, for the purposes of keeping everyone happy, the RTA-TBC timing is 22:02.
