- Knuckles in Sonic 2 FAQ
+ Sonic 2 2013 FAQ
 
 Q: What does 2013 mean?
-A: Yeah. I play much better on a keyboard, so emulator is the go for me. Luckily because game time is used for this game emulator makes no difference.
+A: It refers to the year this remake was released, to distinguish from the original version.
 
-Q: Why are you showing the whole emulator?
+Q: What is different about this version?
-A: As per the new rules for this game, this is required for emulator runs, to prevent cheating (and is also why my times for Sonic/Knuckles aren't on speedrun.com) They read: "For runs using emulators the entire screen of the emulator used must be captured and the game must be visibly hard resetted before a run. Any use of a savestate after boot voids the run." [Note that this does not apply to every video game, it's a rule in place specifically for the classic sonic series eg S1, S2, S3K, SCD]
+A: A fair bit. The engine is slightly different, so mechanically there are slight difference everywhere. For the less keen observer; all the zips are such from the original no longer work, Tails can now carry you as he flies, speedcap can be turned off, and elemental shields from S3K can be added into the game.
 
 Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator?
-A: Because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMGf1V3MMM
+A: Yeah, I'm playing on Bluestacks, so emulating Andriod.
 
 Q: Why do you use ingame time and not real time?
 A: Because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMGf1V3MMM | Time Bonus causes going slower to be faster for RTA, which is hyper dumb
 
-Q: What are the main differences between Sonic and Knuckles?
+
-A: Knuckles has a smaller jump, doesn't have an aerial speedcap, and can glide. He also doesn't have Tails following him, making the notable Metro 3 level wrap impossible, but several other tricks are possible (Casino Night 2 level wrap is the biggest one). For reference, not a single stage plays exactly the same as Sonic and Knuckles (they even get different times on Sky Chase!), but some are quite similar.

-Q: So who is faster? Knuckles or Sonic?
+
-A: No level is the same, but overall it's very close. If you got perfect runs of both, Knuckles would be faster, but he has a lot of harder tricks than Sonic does, so it makes sense his time would be or a slightly lower standard, so the times should be about equal. Atm however Sonic's time (15:08) is lower than Knuckles' (15:34). If you are just talking about highest top speed in the levels, they both run at the same speed.

-Q: Why do you pause before the boss in Aquatic Ruin 2?
+
-A: It loads the boss faster. By pausing before the boss, it loads as soon as the camera is in position with the boss arena, whereas normally it takes about a second and a half to start. It's not to buffer any input, or to time anything, it's just abusing a quirky mechanic in that specific boss.
+A: No useful glitches, but there are a couple of boss skips in Hilltop and Oil Ocean (where you simply just fly over the top of them)
