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's Epic Quest is a ROM hack for the SEGA Genesis, modifying the original Sonic the Hedgehog game to offer a new level set and tweaked mechanics. It was released as a fan project, not an official Sega title. The exact creator and release year are not widely documented, but it has circulated in the Genesis hacking community. Gameplay follows the classic Sonic formula. You control Sonic through a series of platforming stages, collecting rings, defeating badniks, and reaching the goal ring. The hack introduces custom level designs, often with remixed challenges and new obstacles. The core loop remains running and jumping at speed, but the new layouts provide fresh experiences for veterans. For fans of the original Genesis Sonic games, this hack offers a reason to revisit the engine with unfamiliar stages. It's a niche piece of fan content, not a polished commercial product, but it captures the spirit of 16-bit Sonic. If you've exhausted the official games, this is a fun detour into fan-made territory.

How to play Sonic's Epic Quest online

Start by selecting new game from the title screen. You control Sonic using the D-pad to move and jump with the A button. Run through each zone, collect rings to survive hits, and find the exit. Like the original Sonic, you can spin dash by crouching and pressing jump. The hack may have altered level layouts, so expect surprises. If you hit an enemy without rings, you lose a life. Collect 100 rings for an extra life.
