The Clockwork Knight 2 Longplay, Playing as Sir Ginger in Clockwork Knight 2 and more

Prinsdam would later re-record the game and do it all in one shot after finding out the SSF emulator supported native recording.

Also, the game starts this time around with a simpler battle against the TV, the final boss from the first game. This time around, it's a much simpler battle. Just attack the claw whenever you see it. You'll also be doing the whole "stab him in the claw with the can of pencils" strategy, too.

The ending is extended, too. Chelsea finally kisses Pepperochau and the whole kingdom of toys cheers.


You also get an extended ending, with this just being the stand-alone version instead of the compilation version of the game. You'll get a reprise of the song from the first ending complete with drawings from kids...probably some sort of Japan-only art contest for the second game or fan drawings submitted to Sega by kids that I know nothing about.

Believe it or not, you can play as Sir Ginger, the silver knight, in the game if you have the American or Japanese versions. (Europe, you're out of luck unless you import.)

Amazingly, the code wasn't found until 2012 when some gamers poked around with the internal code and found the cheat...even though it was only published once in a Japanese game magazine and never published anywhere else. He was playable in the Japanese compilation version's "Bosses Galore" mode, and until then, using him in the regular game was only speculation. But it's possible, and you can finally do it.

To play as Ginger, press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, L, R, L, R on the mode select screen, then start a game on Part 2. Don't enter it too quickly; the box rotation sound will play when entered correctly. Works in the US version and Clockwork Knight Fukubukuro (Japan-only compilation disc).

Ginger slashes with his key, he can perform actual wall jumps, and he can also perform more majestic jumps with some good hangtime. His somersault can damage enemies, too.

There's also a hidden exit in one of the levels, and if you find it, you'll get a Gold Screw from one of the developers or an editor of Famitsu magazine. You'll get the developer on Normal and the editor on Hard.

Unfortunately, this is only available in the stand-alone Japanese version, as far as I know, and in the combined version and quite possibly the English language versions, you'll just get dialogue from Sir Ginger.
