Ever played Sonic 2 and thought, "Man, this could be even faster"? That’s basically what Dimps Edition is—a tweaked, slightly smoother version of the classic with some subtle changes. The physics feel a little tighter, the sprites are cleaned up, and those annoying slowdowns in Chemical Plant Zone? Gone. It’s still the same Sonic you remember, just… better.

First thing you’ll notice is how crisp everything looks. The spin dash is way more responsive, and Tails doesn’t get stuck on every little ledge anymore. Some of the level layouts are adjusted too—nothing drastic, just enough to make old zones feel fresh if you’ve played the original a hundred times. Oh, and the special stages? Still a nightmare, but in a good way.

If you’ve got a Genesis (or an emulator, no judgment), this is the version I’d recommend for a replay. It’s like finding your favorite old hoodie, but someone secretly stitched in better pockets.
