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 level containing time attack, score attack, and scavenger hunting missions that award emeralds, which in turn allow the player to progress through barricades in the overworld. The hack has been praised for innovative moves and layouts and fresh art, but criticized for its difficulty. Note that contrary to the screenshot on this page of the latest release, the hack is no longer available on HackTube.

Controls

While the A button no longer functions as a jump button, all other controls from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 are available, as well as:

  • Curl into a Spin Attack: Press A in midair to enter a Spin Attack.
  • Jump Dash: Press B or C in midair while in a Spin Attack to dash forward.
  • Wall Kick: In midair, press Left or Right in the direction of a wall while pressing or holding A 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.
  • Midair Action: After being catapulted by a spring, seesaw, or similar device, press A plus a direction to greatly adjust your trajectory.
  • Exit level: Pause the game and press A to exit an act and return to the overworld.
