This is a hack which adds the Homing Attack/Jump Dash ability into Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Sega Genesis. This move is done by pressing jump while in mid-air. The homing attack will be triggered when close to objects such as enemies or monitors. Otherwise the Air Dash will be used and simply propel the player in a certain direction. A cool trailing effect is triggered when the player moves at top speed.
The patch is in xdelta format due to shifted data resulting in IPS patches containing original code. The ROM should be in BIN format.

The Homing attack/jumpdash in Sonic 2 proof of concept hack is a hack which adds the homing attack to Sonic's arsenal of moves in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The Homing attack is a move which is performed in mid-air to zoom into Badniks and objects with a high speed attack. In addition, trailing images appear when the player reaches top speed.
==Problems with Hack==
*There is a problem with clipping on walls and it is possible for Sonic to catch onto the side of the wall and walk in mid-air. It can interrupt jumps.
*Rebound when landing on monitors is also removed when jumping on them. Rebounding still works when using the homing attack.
