Ashura the Hedgehog Discovered by Charles "Kiken" Mugg, very little is known about this mystery charcter, often called a "palette glitch", only that he makes an appearance every know and then in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, if he deams the player is worthy of him. He will only appear after a special code has been entered. His name was given to him by Charles, and means Demon. To play as Ashura, follow these directions. You must first enter the Stage Select and the Debug Mode codes (see my Sonic the Hedgehog 2 page), the instant Super Sonic code is optional. Enter either Emerald Hill Zone 1 or 2 using the same method as you would to use the Debug code. When you start the stage, change Sonic into an object by pressing the "B" button. Change through the objects using the "A" button until you get to a set of four vertical rings, now press the "A" button one more time. You should not see an object at this point. Now start producing this object (it's a waterfall) using the "C" button like mad! Confine the area in which you produce the object to half a screen away from the screen where you began the stage. You'll know when you produced enough of the object when your ring counter in the upper left of the screen acquires a blue edge. When that happens, change back into Sonic (now Ashura) using the "B" button. Run out of the flicker (you'll see what I mean when you do the trick) and you'll be Ashura.
