Tag: Debut Sonic In Giovanni S Level Pack 2 Ssega

Debut Sonic in Giovanni's Level Pack 2 is a ROM hack of last year's Giovanni's Level Pack 2. This ROM hack was originally made by MDTravis, to be later picked up and polished by giovanni.gen, original creator of Giovanni's Level Pack 2. In this ROM Hack, you will play as MDTravis' implementation of Sonic, as seen in Sonic Debut, the latest available version of which, at the time of writing, can be found here. The original version of the ROM hack was unveiled during a Sonic Hacking Contest live stream, as a prank directed to giovanni.gen. This release is the polished version of the ROM hack shown during said live stream, featuring many QoL changes to better account for Debut Sonic, such as a proper HP display, and a fully rewritten instruction manual. The catch, however, is that almost no changes have been made to the level design to account for Debut Sonic's altered moveset. Debut Sonic in GLP2 has been playtested, and is 100%able. However, it is not softlock-proof, and some routes from the original game are flat out inaccessible. To beat Debut Sonic in GLP2, you will have to contend with a slightly lowered jump height, lowered just enough to make damage boosting mandatory for basic progression in places. In addition, none of the additional moves from the original ROM hack have made the cut: no Drop Dash, no Super Peel-Out, and, most critically, no Spin Dash. Debut Sonic's moveset includes an Air Roll, which you will need to use, as you will not automatically roll after jumping like Sonic would. In addition, as opposed to losing rings when damaged, you will instead be bound by a HP system. Starting at 5 hit points, losing them all will result in your death, no matter your ring count. This ROM hack is best experienced after having played both the original Giovanni's Level Pack 2, and Sonic Debut, with much focus on the former. Changes from last year: The player controller was completely changed, in terms of graphics and moveset; The shield monitor was fittingly replaced with a HP boost monitor; Certain sound effects originating from Sonic Debut have been added; A HP meter has been added to the HUD; MDTravis' Splash screen has been imported into the hack; A minor, optional change to the level design in Marble Zone was made; The instructions manual was majorly rewritten.
