Sonic and Metal Sonic!
-UPDATED AS OF 11/01/2022 —
In addition to some graphical fixes and tweaks, Sonic now also starts his runs with Greed’s Gullet, which should add extra incentive to collecting all those coins!
——————————————————————————————————
Sonic the Hedgehog enters the basement as a new playable character, with Metal Sonic as his tainted variant!
Sonic is all about staying highly mobile and hard to hit, so he begins each run with How to Jump and the Mars dash ability. These allow him to either plow through foes at high speeds or hop out of the way of their attacks.
Sonic’s tears are also quick, bouncy, and have a chance to draw out coins from enemies; it’s like they were made for you!
Metal Sonic can match Sonic’s speed but trades his affinity for coins with a higher chance to collect bombs. He can then send them crashing into enemies thanks to his Rocket in a Jar.
In addition, Metal’s red tears will chain between foes thanks to Jacob’s Ladder. He’s a real buzzkill!
Both characters make use of the Character Costume Protector by Sanio, so collecting items won’t interfere with their looks. They both have unique flight animations though, inspired by Miracle Sonic and Sonic CD!
Please note that these characters were only tested in the Repentance Edition of the game. I cannot vouch for what will happen if you try to use them without it.
