Sonic: The Second Round (Formerly Round2.exe)

(Trivia in Article)


During the development, when the project changed its name from Round2.exe to Sonic: The Second Round, Super Sonic wasn't planned yet. It was a secret in previous releases but eventually the monitors in Last Chance were replaced with the Chaos Emeralds to add more background to the Fake Sonic (at least in this game). This incarnation is neither an entity nor a demon, but rather an organic clone created by the use of the negative energies of the Chaos Emeralds and Sonic's DNA. Unlike others like Zalgo, X, Exetior or any others, this one doesn't have a name. Since the positive energies were still intact, Sonic is still able to become Super (Inspired by Sonic Adventure).

With Super Sonic confirmed, we decided to include the game's name in his pre-battle cutscene, since he fights against his doppelganger for a second time.

Since the pink-eyed* clone was created with the negative energies, I decided to give him a second form as well. No exaggerated stuff with lots of teeth, monstruous faces or tentacle-like quills. Simplicity is better sometimes.

Another fun fact: The death scene of Sonic's doppelganger already existed in much older versions of the project, where he is petrified and explodes shortly afterwards. I didn't want to make another bloody mess, so I reused this concept.

*pink-eyed - reference to an eye inflammation called "Conjunctivitis", also known as pink-eye.

(Está presente na versão Legacy)

For the next release (Version 7), I'll be merging both versions (Complete and Legacy) into one single game. I guess it's much better than upgrading two versions of the same game all the time.

Did you know you could do this?

The two copyrighted tracks has been replaced now, along with a few tweaks in animations and gameplay. Now you can jump higher while running up a slope.

Small changes were made in opening scene, including an emphasis in the "not a remake" part.

"X is here!"

"É, tá bom..."

Special thanks to all of you, who played, streamed and supported the project ever since it was called Round2.exe. There is more stuff for me to say, so I'll put it on an article. Forgive the typos, english isn't my native language.

Some unused stuff...

Version 7 - The Definitive Edition

This update came after "Version 6.6.6". Number 7 has a meaning of "finished work", so this will be the definitive version of this game. This version also celebrates its 10th anniversary. Updates in the article below.

I guess we can say I ordered a figure of Sonic as he's seen in The Second Round, since he's mostly angry in this game...
