Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) - Super Sonic in first Zone - no cheats - 720p 60fps - No commentary

Getting 3 Chaos emeralds in all the lamp posts / checkpoints in Emerald Hill Zone Act 1 and the last 4 in Act 2. Finishing first boss with Super Sonic. I had some trial and error this to learn the patterns of special stages, but it is possible. BTW play without tails for much easier experience.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Japanese: ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ2 ツー Hepburn: Sonikku za Hejjihoggu Tsū?) is a platform video game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis console. It was released worldwide in November 1992. The game is the second main entry in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and the first to feature Miles "Tails" Prower, a flying two-tailed fox. Tails and protagonist Sonic the Hedgehog must stop series antagonist Dr. Ivo Robotnik from stealing the Chaos Emeralds to power his space station, the Death Egg.

Development of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 began at the end of 1991, with both Japanese and American staff, from Sonic Team and Sega Technical Institute respectively, contributing to development. This game and Sonic the Hedgehog CD were originally part of the same project, but were split into different games early in development. As with the original game, the soundtrack was composed by Dreams Come True songwriter Masato Nakamura. The game was a critical and commercial success, selling over six million copies, making it the second-best-selling Genesis game behind the original Sonic the Hedgehog. It has since been released on several compilations and downloads for various platforms, which were also generally positively received. A remastered version was released on iOS and Android devices in December 2013, including new features and an additional level based on one originally cut from the game. Two direct sequels, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, were released in 1994.

The game's two protagonists are Sonic the Hedgehog and his sidekick, Miles "Tails" Prower, who is described as having idolized Sonic as a child and wanting to keep up with him.[3] The game's premise is similar to that of the original Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic's nemesis, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, is planning world domination with his army of robots, which he has placed animals inside, and the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds. However, this time he is constructing an armored space station known as the Death Egg. The goal of the game is to defeat Robotnik, optionally saving as many animals as possible and collecting all seven Emeralds.[4] By default, the game ends with Sonic riding on Tails' biplane, the Tornado. However, if the player has collected all of the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic, in his Super Sonic form, flies alongside it.[5]

When the player collects at least 50 rings and passes a checkpoint, they can warp to a "special stage".[12] In these stages, the player runs through a pseudo-3D half-pipe course, collecting rings and dodging bombs. A set amount of rings must be collected to pass through each of three checkpoints and in turn to obtain the emerald itself. If Sonic collides with a bomb, he loses ten rings and is immobilized momentarily. The stages rise in difficulty, and the player cannot enter any stage without passing the previous one. After finishing, the player is transported back to the star post they used to enter the special stage.[13] When all Emeralds have been collected, if the player chose Sonic, he has the ability to turn into Super Sonic, which requires 50 rings or more.[5][12] Super Sonic is yellow and invincible to enemy attacks, and his speed, acceleration, and jump height are increased as well. However, he loses one ring per second and reverts to being regular Sonic when all of his rings are gone.[5] "
