As a reminder, this game, SRB2 (Sonic Robo Blast 2), is a Doom mod. Also, a derivative mod, SRB2K (kart) is one of the best freeware classic mario kart-likes in existence. The devs have moved on to Dr Robotnik’s Ring Racers, but SRB2K is the goat in my heart.

I found SRB2 in the final 1.9.4 (or something like that) demo around 2009 and don’t remember this. Early indeed, crazy how long the community has loved on this work.
