Bug Bytes episode 6

This is the sixth installment in a series of videos exhibiting bugs and glitches in famous video games, some well known and others that aren't. In this episode, we'll be looking at Sonic 2 once more. The final Boss has quite a few glitches in it, some of which I triggered with Debug mode. In recording, I inadvertently activated the "night mode" code, which is actually a layer differentiator used by programmers. Foreground objects stand out on the dark layer, while background layers are darkened. This is highly evidenced by the dark blocks flying by, which indicate where the stars should be. For some reason, the background completely disappeared when I started this. After progressing into Silver Sonic's chamber, I use debug mode to sort of showcase his skill set. (Don't worry, I don't actually suck this badly when I'm really playing.)
Using debug mode, it's possible to save yourself from dying by transforming on the "rebounce". The strangest thing doesn't occur until about :55, where I paste item boxes. These item boxes are typically only seen in 2 player Versus mode, and switch Sonic and Tails' position to throw an added edge of difficulty into the contests. Obviously, this level is not two player and there is no way to play it as such. Since there's no tails to warp me to, the game goes haywire and just drops me in a random location. The second box returns me to where i started, luckily. The
Eggman battle goes rather glitch-free, until the end. The background, including the earth and stars is completely missing. Debug mode disrupts Sonic's preprogrammed path, allowing for me to lead explosions across the Death Egg. Right before flying out the tube, I manage to skid to a halt and turn around. Guess Sonic didn't survive this battle?

The last boss would be fun 2 play on Sonic 2. Maybe they shouldn't cut that boss out either.

ive done this before too, its really fun, in fact i dont remember exactly but i was able to make about 3 or 5 robotnik robots to appear, they were very glitchy but i was able to kill them with super sonic, every time you hit them you trigger sonic running for the exit, but debug stops that. yeah that thing with the teleport is wierd, they were going to make this level a two part level i heard but it didnt go through correct me if im wrong.
