Sonic the Hedgehog Extended Edition is hack in progress by Cinossu of Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. In this version of the game, instead of new or fully edited zones, all the original zones are kept intact with minor editing to the acts. Instead this hack extends the game beyond its original capabilities, including a zone map with warp rings to each act (much like in Sonic Advance 3), saving via sram slots (like in Sonic the Hedgehog 3), obtainable upgrades such as the spindash and super peel-out (like in the Megaman X series) as well as a new type of ring, emerald and special stage to add to the mix.

Story
Time travel; a phenomenon not properly encountered by the residents of the many zones of the planet since the day Dr. Ivo Robotnik, the mad scientist, chained the mysterious "Little Planet" to the local terrain, bringing forth a devious plot to conquer using the Little Planet's Time Stones to his advantage. It was rather a surprise, therefore, when several inhabitants of the Sunset Hill Zone noticed one of the many long-forgotten time travel posts just sitting along a stretch of grass, as if it were naturally meant to be there. Many thought it was a replica, homage to an adventure long past, whilst others thought it just a mirage, a trick on the eyes, and that it would soon disappear exactly like the Little Planet it originated from…
…but there were the small minority who believed it to be real, and an omen of things to come…
Running through the Sunset Hill Zone, Sonic the Hedgehog was supposedly out searching for a rumour, a relic of a former encounter with the evil Dr. Robotnik some 13 years previous… in actuality, he was getting quite bored. The local population hadn’t heard from the doctor in a while and they were all enjoying the peace and quiet whilst it lasted, knowing it wouldn’t for very long, and searching for something that only few truly believed existed was not Sonic’s ideal form of relaxation. He’d much prefer to be lounging out on a reclined chair at the beach, a cool drink in one hand, and shades over his closed eyes, listening to music blaring out through his portable stereo…
…so lost in thought was the fastest creature on the planet that he did not realise he was slowly beginning to run faster, past his ‘jogging’ speed and to those only he could get to by foot. Reaching a speed of above 88 MPH, Sonic was knocked out of his daydreaming as his body came into accidental contact with an object that he hadn’t seen in over a decade; a time travel post, specifically one linked to the past. Remembering the critical velocity required for such an object to work, the hedgehog realised too late what was to occur. With a flash of light and a loud boom, Sonic the Hedgehog was gone from the Sunset Hill Zone, leaving only a still-spinning post and a faint echo in his wake…
