System: Sega Mega Drive / Genesis |
Original game: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) |

Sonic 2 Retro Remix is a large-scale hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by DNXDelta and Thorn. The game is based around a mission system akin to that of Super Mario 64, with each Zone containing several Acts each featuring time attack, score attack, and scavenger hunting missions. Completing missions awards Chaos Emeralds, which in turn allow the player to progress through barricades in the overworld to other Zones. The hack has been praised for its mission system, layouts, art and new moves, but criticized for its difficulty.

- Wall Kick: In midair, press or in the direction of a wall while pressing or holding to stick to the wall for a second, then jump to kick off of it. You can chain wall kicks together provided that you do not stick to a wall too long and fall off.

- Mid-air Boost: After being catapulted by a spring, seesaw, or similar device, press plus a direction to greatly adjust Sonic's trajectory, in combination with a radial spinning attack.
