Let me emphasize this: I HATE SONIC HEROES. INTO THE GROUND.

But, I discovered this hack on the site and just sat there for a second, thinking of the horrible memories I had with the real Sonic Heroes. Then I spent some of my Viz and gave it a try.

I was amazed. Heck, you can play as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles all at the same time! You can press A to switch characters like you do in Sonic Heroes. And here's the fun part, your teammates follow behind you and don't lose your rings! They can even help out by beating a boss with you or conquering a tough level. This makes the game so much easier.

The characters all have their Sonic and Knuckles abilities. Tails's flight, Knuckles's glide, and Sonic's air spin! The shields from Sonic and Knuckles are also present in the game.

The single player campaign allows you to play Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 all as one story! When you beat Sonic 1, the team turns around in shock as they watch the death egg float by, then they run to Emerald Hil Zone, starting the Sonic 2 portion of the story.

There is also the abiliity to customize your game options, and save your game for later. You can play a few acts and come back again, and there's your save file! Also included is a Sonic Heroes-esque level select if you just want to try out a certain zone, or skip directly to Sonic 2.

Overall, this hack is amazing and worth the Viz. Play it right now! NOW!

(Here's a secret, in Marble Zone ACT 1, switch to Knuckles. Don't go underground! Start climbing the seemingly impassable wall. There is a secret hole in the wall that gives you a 1-up and leads you to the end of the act. Talk about a shortcut! This secret is also in Act 2 and Act 3. Whenever you come across a gargantuan wall in Marble Zone, climb it and you'll go to the end!)
