Sonic Advance 2 SP is a ROM hack geared at improving some of the less-loved aspects of Sonic Advance 2. Changes include:

* 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 memorization for repeat play and speedrunning - without *as* harsh a penalty for not doing so.
