Found out my favorite childhood game was actually a bootleg port

I was digging through a bin at a garage sale last Saturday and grabbed a beat up copy of Sonic 2 for like $2. Got home and the cartridge was a weird yellow color, not the standard grey. Looked it up online and apparently some random company in Brazil made an unlicensed port that actually runs faster than the real version. Has anyone else stumbled across bootleg carts that ended up being kind of cool?

Oh man, that's actually a wild find. I had a bootleg copy of Street Fighter 2 once that had this insane glitch where Ryu's fireball would just keep going forever until it hit something. It was like the ultimate projectile, I'd just spam it and watch the chaos. But your Sonic 2 port that runs faster sounds kinda awesome. Like, trippy and broken but probably a blast to play for a few minutes before your brain fries. Bootleg stuff is a total gamble.

Pretty sure Ryu's hadoken can actually go forever in the real game too if you time it right.
