Sonic the Hedgehog (SNES)
System(s): Super Nintendo
Developer: Twin Eagles Group
Genre: 2D Platform

Sonic the Hedgehog (also known as Sonic the Hedgehog 4) is a pirate game for the SNES by Peruvian scene organization Twin Eagles Group. In actuality, it is a hack of that console's Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Bandidos (raising the possibility that it was done by the same pirate team who made Sonic 6, a hack of the Game Boy's Speedy Gonzales). Notable features include Sonic's new ability to kick, and mission to free Mario from cages (upon which the latter exclaims his own name). All music has been removed, except for four tracks, one of which plays during almost every level.

In some emulators, the game freezes completely after four levels.

" SONIC! SONIC! " - That's what you hear when beginning the first level. In the game, you'll have to rescue Mario held captive in jails (!) and collect cheese... oops, rings :D This was done in SEPTEMBER 1996 and the hacked game was SPEEDY GONZALES (at bottom you'll see the animation sequences of the original character that were used as guidelines).

• Three stages from the original Speedy Gonzales game were scrapped from this hack for unknown reasons, but it is possible for players to access them by hacking and/or loading Speedy Gonzales savestates.
