Okay, so this is basically Sonic 2, but with a twist—it's the Secret Rings Edition. You know how Sonic usually blasts through Green Hill Zone? Here, it's got this weird, almost dreamlike vibe with floating platforms and rings that appear out of nowhere. The physics feel a tiny bit off compared to the original, like Sonic slides just a little more than he should, but once you get used to it, the speed is still there.

First time I played, I kept missing jumps because the level layouts throw some curveballs—expect sudden loops and paths that disappear behind you. The music’s still classic Genesis chiptune goodness, though. If you’re into romhacks or alternate versions of old-school Sonic, this one’s a neat curiosity. Just don’t expect it to play exactly like the original.
