[livejournal.com profile] nanakikun just found the secret to the Sega Genesis Sonic 2 game. Well, to the Casino level. Well, no, just for the final boss.

In that level, Dr. Eggman Robotnik flies back and forth in his ship, with a mine-dropping electric-zappy thing on the bottom. The only way to attack him is to hit him spinning from above. However, the pinball flippers they give you to jump up with are too uncontrolled.

However, the bottom of the screen has rounded corners. Thus, you can – charge-spin? Push down and hit the button, anyway – you can stand under the flippers and charge-spin, and when Dr. Wiley Robotnik stops to drop his mine, you move, roll up above him on the wall, and jump off the wall. You'll be able to hit Dr. Evil Robotnik once with this, and then run over to the other side "while he's busy feeling sorry for himself" (exact [livejournal.com profile] nanakikun quote).

Yeah, it only defeats Dr. No Robotnik in that one level. But it's a really annoying level otherwise.

There – now all you non-retrogamers can wake up again (and answer my Truth or Happiness poll).
