Hack description

This is a hack for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Sega Genesis. It combines the levels of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to make one large game. Special stages from both games are accessible and are entered via each game's special stage original entry method. This means Giant rings at the end of stages when retaining 50 rings in Sonic 1 and jumping into a circle of stars after passing checkpoints with enough rings in Sonic 2. There are 6 Chaos Emeralds in the Sonic 1 special stages and 7 in the Sonic 2 special stages. Super Sonic is not available until all Chaos Emeralds are obtained from both kinds of special stages. Progress is saved automatically to SRAM.

Pressing Start and the A button while playing any stage will return the player to the title screen. Also, level select is available by holding A button then pressing Start at the title screen.

Arena mode is playable which has time challenges that can be completed to increase the players ranking. Higher rankings are obtainable in harder levels and have shorter time limits.

Some features of this game were later incorporated in flamewing's Sonic Classic Heroes hack.

The patch is in xdelta format due to shifted data resulting in IPS patches containing original code. The ROM should be in BIN format.

Тwo in one. And this is the point of the hack	diablo666	2020-10-11	Version Revision 1
Pretty good port of Sonic 2 levels from Sonic 1. Everything works perfectly. A time mode - allows you to explore all the subtleties of these two games in the levels. One but: "Sorry no mode: Spin dash:On/Off" Why not enough? It was interesting to see how it would have been played if it hadn't been introduced in Sonic 2. And (or) included the original Sonic 1 game mode (because Spin dash works in all these games)

Sonic Classic Heroes 1.0	MathUser2929	2016-06-09	Version Revision 1
This is the precursor to Sonic Classic Heroes. For it's time this was a great hack. I recommend it if you want a straight up compilation of Sonic 1 and 2 put together ala Sonic 3K. The games connect to each other which makes it feel like one long game. Give it a try if you don't need all the extra characters and features of Sonic Classic Heroes.
