Sonic's Egg Golem

-troll ending from the hunter variant has been ported over.

Pumpkin Hill
-Trains and train pieces have been added back for both action and mech variants.
-Hints for the mech variant should be more accurate.

SA2 Randomizer: Baby Steps

I know updates have been slow, thank you all for your continued support. Hope you all enjoy some small tweaks and QoL changes.

A few config settings' default options have been changed to reflect the most used settings. This should not affect your current settings. If it does tho, simply reset within the config window.

Default Options Changed:
-Subtitles: Now on Menus and Cutscenes
-Random Models: On
-Random Kart Models: On
-Allow Vanilla Type Characters: On
-Character Replacement Type: On Load
-Disable Random Kart Stats: On

Shortcuts
-L+R+Y: Auto Win Stage
-L+R+Start: Show Mod Version Number

Hidden Features
As suggested in the ReadMe.txt, you can now disable kart track segments at will. This requires you making a new file within the SA2Rando folder, but simply follow the given instructions and enjoy. Do note, disabling some piece combinations can lead to track generation issues so if you notice the game struggling to initialize I would consider changing your disabled pieces.

SA2 Randomizer: Sonic's Next Top Model

With the age of custom models being introduced to SA2, it felt only fitting to include as many as we can. The model work has been done by other's within the community and can be seen credited in game after you complete any story. [Links to each of the currently used models below]. Following the theme of random models, MainMemory had some fun and randomized kart models!! Try it all out for even more insanity in game.

Options
Kart Options
--Random Kart Models

Just For Fun
--Random Custom Models

E 102

... I apologize that not every character has a custom model yet, but there are more to come!

Radical Highway (Hunters)
-MM by spiral now has a barrier behind it so you don't accidently get stuck in an infinite loop of pain

-----lost chao will be right next to said mm
-Rouge's Section
-----adds a small platform underneath the timeswitch in acid room to prevent super sonic from soft locking
-Sonic's Section
