Sonic: Super Deformed (sometimes referred to as "SSD") is an assembly hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive, led by Hitaxas and Team Speedway. The game features the ability to play as a few different characters, Sonic , Shadow and Knuckles. A recoding of the original game, along with new art (such as new sprites), music, abilities and layouts are in Sonic: Super Deformed.

A demo release of October 5th, 2009 was considered. Team Speedway wanted to finish a decent portion of the game, along with heavy beta testing BEFORE the release. Sadly, due to a hard drive hiccup, the demo plans were scrapped. However, there were also plans for a release before the end of the 2009, however those were canceled due to the fact that the game has not been worked on.

Characters

Sonic

A cut-loose hedgehog with super speed. He is 16 years of age and lives on planet Mobius. He is always adventuring and looking for a challenge. He is pretty carefree and relaxed, although, he despises injustice and wrong-doing. He will help those in need, and will stop at nothing to help them.

Shadow

Created by Professor Gerald Robotnik while the professor was aboard the Space Colony ARK. Nobody knows his age, but it is suspected he is around 50 years old. He once plotted for revenge, but he has mellowed quite a bit since then, after learning who he is. He is not too social, but he does team up with Sonic and his pals when trouble emerges. Shadow can use the power of the chaos emeralds to alter space and time.
