Ever wondered what it'd be like to play as a flying squirrel in a Sonic game? This obscure Genesis/Mega Drive hack swaps out the blue blur for Ray, a little guy who can actually glide—which changes everything. At first, it feels weird not having Sonic's speed, but once you get the hang of swooping over gaps and dive-bombing badniks, it's a surprisingly fresh way to experience Green Hill Zone.

Controls take some getting used to (hold jump to glide, tap to flutter), and yeah, you'll faceplant into spikes a few times before it clicks. But nailing that perfect glide path over a bottomless pit? Way more satisfying than it should be. Just don't expect any fancy new levels—it's classic Sonic 1, just with a rodent who forgot how to run fast.
