Big's Fishing Derby (ビッグの 釣りダービー) is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive by flamewing that allows the player to play as Big the Cat on various fishing levels. Platforming is gone and the game takes place by a series of bodies of water where the player must catch Froggy while avoiding hooking underwater badniks. A second player can also play Eggman, and he competes with Big in the race to catch Froggy.

Originally intended to be a secret mini-game in Sonic Classic Heroes, the idea grew beyond its original inception and ended up becoming a game of its own.

Controls

  • Down to increase or Up to decrease the length of the fishing line (i.e., the vertical position of the hook).
  • Left and Right to move the hook horizontally. The hook will move back to the center when neither is pressed.
  • C Change the selected power-up.
  • A Use the selected power-up to attack or hinder your opponent (if any). This does nothing in single player mode unless Eggman is on-screen.
  • B Use the selected power-up to help yourself.

Game modes

  • Single player:
    • Time Attack: Race against the clock to save Froggy! You have 10 minutes to finish all zones; if you fail, it is game over. To compensate, there are no distractions in this mode.
    • Arcade mode: Battle Eggman's robotic army with limited lives, limited time and ever increasing difficulty to save Froggy! Also features boss fights.
  • Competition:
    • Random levels: Instead of always following the same level order, the game decides on a random level order.
    • Best <M> out of <N>: Instead of going through all zones for each round against Eggman, play only a selection of levels, with simple majority winning the game.
  • Either:
    • Zen Mode: No lives, no time, no pressure: just fishing. Defaults to single player mode, but allows optional join-in of a second player on a per-level basis.
