Description

Tag Team Quest 32X is a ROM hack of Knuckles in Sonic 2 ported over to the Sega 32X made by Jdpense, which aims to eventually be a redesign of the game with new bosses and a rebuilt tag team gimmick from Sonic Advance 3. The playable characters currently are Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. In addition to the tag team gimmick, there are seven new bosses for each first act of the zones for more depth and to show off the Sega 32X's sprite rendering abilities. Quality of life improvements are included as well, such as act transitions, bug fixes, and much more!

Note: I need to clarify, I created the Advance 3 Tag Team mechanics and new moves from scratch, they were not ported over. There is also no AI assistance whatsoever, everything in this entry is human made.

Controls for General Moveset

• Dpad - Move
• A/B/C - Jump
• X - Tag Action
• Y/Z - Attack while flying as Tails (when Knuckles is your sidekick)

Instructions for the Tag Team Gimmick

Press and hold the X button until your sidekick lands into your hands. Then when you release the button, you can perform combo moves depending on your sidekick. There is a video below that demostrates on preforming this move.

Note: You will need a six button controller to perform the tag action and new character moves.
