S2B/False Alarms/Sonic Does Not Loose His Rings Twice
The s2b-3.avi video clip of the Mean Machine Sega
VHS gives an impression that in this prototype Sonic can loose his rings
more than once, like in Sonic Crackers.
Sonic getting hurt from a coconut thrown by a monkey...
...and again by landing on spikes. Or so it seems.
The above shot is taken between the first two. Notice Sonic
suddenly
has 1 ring instead of 0. Explanation? Tails (off screen) grabs a ring after
Sonic is first hit. Therefore Sonic can afford to land on the spikes without
dying.
Like the prototype we have, Sonic does not become invincible for 2
seconds when landing on spikes. However he does become temporarily
invincible when landing on the ground, as
illustrated by the Hill Top clip.
