Someone mentioned this in a thread recently.

Apparently some ROM hackers have gone and put the entirety of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 into Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and altered the game so you can switch to Tails or Knuckles who otherwise move around under AI control, and in a format that lets you play through both games back-to-back! (The ending of Sonic 1 has even been made into a little transitional cutscene!)

It's still under development, but someone has posted a complete playthrough on Youtube:

Clearly SMW is not the only game out there being hacked to pieces and back again.

This is seriously cool, how did I miss this on Youtube?


Thanks for the link man! :popcorn:

Wow it looks like whoever made this did it very, very well! Including both sets of chaos emeralds at the same time from each game and renaming one set Sol emeralds was awesome IMO. I like how you can switch throughout too giving a good character for each part and the addition of the magnet power up in Act 1 of Green Hill Zone was so perfect of a fit for the ending of the level with all the coins in the sky, I hardly even noticed it wasn't in Sonic 1! When they release this, I'm going to play it no doubt.

This is the best Sonic 1 hack I have seen yet! Looking forward to the finished product!
