Version 2.0(Sonic Hacking Contest 2014)

• The Main Zone which is game's main hub world. From it you can get to any of 7 zones and to the Skill Shop (about it later). To select a zone, use the Sepcial Rings. In TMZ is located the main ring counter. These are used in Skill Shop.
• There's have a title screen menu from Sonic 2. "New Game" opens another menu allowing you to select "Save" and "No Save" game, "Continue" loads a saved game and "Sound Test" opens a menu where you can listen hack's songs.
• Each Zone have his own HUB/map/whatever other you want to call it. In the Hubs you can go to one of 3 acts, return to TMZ, save the game or fight the boss.

- To go to an act, break an "Act Monitor" with number according to the act you want to play. - To return to TMZ, use the Special Ring located at the beginning of the zone. - To save the game use the "Save Monitor" which also is at the beginning. - To fight a boss, go to the end of zone where is located the arena. Boss fight is avaiable after passing all 3 acts. Should be noted that in Srcap Brain Zone to fight the boss you need to pass also all the previous zones and that Bridge Zone lacks boss (just capsule that gives 1000 points).

• Skill Shop. It have 4 skills avaiable: Air Roll, Double Jump, Jump Dash and Super Sonic. The Skills are obtained by jumping to Special Ring and reading a description.
• Added new zone - Bridge Zone. It looks like the 8-bit version, but is a bit edited to make it more 16-bit. There also appears Cheese Cave Zone which is edited Labyrinth Zone.
• Some music ports.
• Sonic 1 level select replaced with Sound Test menu. That can be used to access the true level select. This can be accessed by playing 4 songs in correct order. Rest is done like in S2.
• Bosses edited.

Version 3.0

• New Sound Test menu. Now there appears a totally new Sound Test menu, which allows you to listen all the songs and SFX's from the hack.
• Special Stage Rings, now are working like in S3&K, but the port isn't perfect yet. There is one ring per act, so you have 9 oportunities to get emeralds (and you can fail 3 times). They also act as checkpoint.
• New boss for Bridge Zone!
• New art for Green Hill(Green Garden Zone) and some layout edit.
