Unofficial ROM hack. The notes below come from community sources and have not been verified against the patch itself, so levels, mechanics and features may differ from what is described.

Sonic 1 and 2 is a fan-made ROM hack for the SEGA Genesis that merges both Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 into a single modified ROM. It was created by an unknown enthusiast and never received an official commercial release. As a platformer, it keeps the core physics and level design of the original two games intact, but reorganizes them into a combined experience that's only playable via emulation or a flash cart.

How to play Sonic 1 and 2 online

Getting Started

When you boot up Sonic 1 and 2, you'll likely see a title screen that lets you choose which game to play first. This hack presents the zones from both original games in a linear sequence, so you start with Green Hill Zone from Sonic 1. Use the D-pad to move Sonic left and right, and press the X button to jump. Spindash is available by holding down and pressing the jump button, then releasing.

The core loop is classic Sonic: run through each act, collect rings for protection, defeat badniks by jumping on them or using a spin attack, and reach the goal post to clear the act. Rings act as a shield - if you get hit without rings, you lose a life. Aim to collect the Chaos Emeralds in special stages that appear when you pass a checkpoint with 50 or more rings. The hack combines all of Sonic 1's and Sonic 2's zones, but it lacks any multiplayer mode.
