Sonic 2 - The Hybridization Project is a unique hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive which aims to be a mashup of both the 16-bit Sonic 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit). By using 8-bit sprites and a lowered color palette, Dr. Eggfan manages to turn the classic Sonic 2 16-bit levels into mockups of each of the Sonic 2 8-bit levels. This hack features palette editing and art replacement.

Sonic 2 8-bit Zones and their 16-bit counterparts

• Under Ground Zone over Mystic Cave Zone
• Sky High Zone over Hill Top Zone, with Sky Chase in between the two acts
• Aqua Lake Zone over Aquatic Ruin Zone
• Green Hills Zone over Emerald Hill Zone
• Gimmick Mt. Zone over Metropolis Zone
• Scrambled Egg Zone over Chemical Plant Zone, although a partially restored Hidden Palace Zone can be accessed through Level Select
• Crystal Egg Zone over Casino Night Zone, with Act 3 being represented by Death Egg Zone
