Yeah, not that going for the Chaos Emeralds matters though

For replay sake? Sure.

Is that the one that removes the need to get every single special ring to enter special stages, only needing like three?
I mean it's great if you want to actually 100% Advanced 2 without wanting to kill yourself.

>Sonic Advance 2 SP is a ROM hack geared at improving some of the less-loved aspects of Sonic Advance 2.
Changes included:
>Adjusted enemy placements to prevent many ‘cheap shots’, such as item boxes bouncing you into enemies
>Many bottomless pit areas replaced with new routes, or made harder to fall into at a moment’s notice.
>More plentiful Special Ring placement, allowing a more freeform approach to entering Special Stages
>Special Stage entry requirement reduced to 5 SP Rings

>That said, Advance 2 is still a challenging game! Bosses haven’t been touched, and in the later half of the game you should expect plenty of enemies and the return of the dreaded bottomless pits. The hack attempts to balance things in a way that feels fair, but also rewards memorisation for repeat play and speedrunning - without *as* harsh a penalty for not doing so.
Seems neat.

Okay, so it's easy mode. Just say that.

SA2 is an acquired taste, I've learned what the game wants you to do but I don't want to waste my time doing it. When I really like a game I can deal with its problems but SA2 isn't one of them
