It's just the hype-name for the normal game. If you have a second
controler plugged in a second player has some control over Tails. It
only works when he is on the screen and if you just leave the
controler alone he goes back to doing his normal shadowing of sonic.

It's not very exciting. It does make it ridiculously easy to defeat
Robotnik at the end of each zone since his behaviour is set up for
only one attacker.

	I'm looking for a somewhat trival item, the "Staff of Byrna".
	Anyone care to give me a hint/point me in the correct direction?
	I know it is obtainable with the present character development
	that mine has obtained and I feel it would make a nice aid in
	my present attack on the third dark world dungeon.

	I've got the "Flute" thus "Air Hyrule" is just a tune away :-)

This is my fave, but I come in with the cape, fly up the left side, run over the top, and do a body slam into the concrete by the door. Takes about twenty seconds to save the game.

If you fly off the end of the top, you'll land in a hidden area ABOVE the top of the screen, but I haven't found anything to do there.

      Practically IMPOSSIBLE.  The SNES and Genesis are completely different
machines internally and regardless of what backup system you have on top of it
you'll never be able to play Genesis games on the SNES or vice-versa...

  Firstly, I never claimed the title of "Mr. Perfect". If I did, I'd be
making oodles of money at the NYSE instead of writing articles here.

  On the other hand, the Gameboy still uses fewer batteries than the Game
Gear (or Lynx, or TurboExpress). Since your original article claimed that the
'Gear was better than the Gameboy for using fewer batteries (you wrote
that the GG uses six and the GB used eight, remember), that means that -- even
when I've been corrected -- your original claim still falls flat on its face.

I heard the Genesis did use a 68000 has the main CPU, but had a seperate processor for graphics, whereas the SNES had only one.  Unfortunately I can't seem to find the faq, altho I don't know if I would want to be the one to post the spec table again.

Hint 1: Don't grab the tile!

	I rented F-Zero earlier today, so I've only been playing it for a
little while. It's pretty good, futuristic type race. I think that there
are 15 courses and you can race in one of 4 different `cars'. You can also
jump and stop at a pit area. 

	I rented Super Mario Cart too. I liked that a little bit more, very
colorful and you can make the car jump and pick up powerups to shoot at other
racers. This game had a 2 player option too.

	I don't know if there is a REALISTIC racing game for the SNES, I would
love a game like OUTRUN or SUPER MONACO. I guess there will be one eventually.

      I have heard that the new ASCII pad for the Genesis is supposed to be
real nice.  Hasn't been out long enough to pass any real durability tests, but
the SNES version has and I haven't seen any complaints about it.  Sega is also
supposed to be releasing not only a new 6-button joypad, but also a higher
quality 3-button controller sometime soon...

What is this for?  Do cartridges wear out, thus a backup is needed?
Or is the idea to get the game in some form that can be disassembled
so you can do fun things?  Or is this used to develop new games (e.g.,
make a cartridge image with cross-development tools on a PC, and then
download it -- I assume there is some sort of cartridge emulator so that
you can run your backups).

I have been playing this game for a long time. To save me much tedious
searching
of CRON could someone tell me how I locate the following:

  - Corak's Soul

  - Lord Peabodys son Sherman.

Thanks

Andrew Grant.

Sonic 2 is full of bugs and it disgusts me that Sega let it go to market
in its current state.  It is also prone to slowdown when too many moving
sprites are on-screen simultaneously; this isn't exactly a bug.

Relax.  It's not your controller.
