Sonic 2 Recreation is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by redhotsonic. It sports various ASM edits, multiple characters, levels from other Sonic games (notably Sonic Advance 3), and also includes his own level art.
Information
After a year of not hacking, redhotsonic missed working on Red Hot Sonic 2, and decided to start hacking Sonic 2 again from scratch using ASM. This hack has a different objective than most others: you must find the emerald in the level before you can finish it. Hill Top Zone is replaced by a level select level featuring various logos, each corresponding to a different level, with the logo for a particular level not becoming active until the preceding level is completed.
Sonic 2 Recreation features Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mighty and redhotsonic as playable characters. Each character can be played as individually, and additionally Tails can pair up with Sonic or Knuckles, acting as a sidekick, and Knuckles can also pair up with Sonic. Cream the Rabbit was originally going to be present in the hack as well, but was soon scrapped due to a bad spritesheet and people disliking her. It is unknown as yet if JetPackTails will make an appearance.
Updates on this hack are mainly posted on the SSRG and RetroHack forums, and occasionally on the Sonic Retro forums.
