Quick Answers

Rev A is the initial worldwide release with specific level layouts and enemy placements that differ slightly from later revisions, making it the pure original experience before any subsequent fixes or changes.
How do I perform the Super Peel Out move?
The Super Peel Out isn't available in Sonic 2 - that move was introduced in Sonic CD. Sonic 2 features the Spin Dash instead, performed by crouching and rapidly pressing left and right before releasing.
