This is a mod for the classic Sega Mega Drive/Genesis platformer, Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It focuses on bringing back content that was cut from the original game's prototypes. The project aims to revitalize the game's initial concept by releasing levels and enemies that were never included in the final version, and by fully recreating the early idea of a time-traveling story. This modification also enhances both the prototype and final game elements with new animations, character sprites, updated level art and backgrounds, and new music.

Story and Setting

The narrative unfolds on Westside Island, where Sonic the Hedgehog is seeking a period of rest. His plans are interrupted by Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. On the island, Sonic meets Miles "Tails" Prower, a fox with two tails who is skilled in technology and flight. Eggman has devised a new scheme, rumored to involve an ancient temple and time travel, which he intends to use to aid his plans for world domination. Sonic and Tails embark on an adventure, chasing Eggman through time to prevent his ambitions from altering the future.

Core Gameplay and Distinctive Features

The core gameplay adheres to the established platforming mechanics of the original Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Players navigate through levels at high speeds, employing Sonic's spin dash and jump abilities to overcome obstacles and defeat robotic enemies known as Badniks. The primary appeal of this mod lies in its integration of previously unreleased content.

The modification significantly upgrades the game's presentation. This includes:

Newly created animations for characters and enemies.
Refreshed level art and backgrounds, offering a more detailed and visually appealing experience.
An entirely new musical score, composed to complement the restored and enhanced content.
