Sonic The Hedgehog: The Lost Worlds is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by ExecByte. This hack features all of the zones that were cut from Sonic 2 during development. Some zones have been ported from the Sonic 2 Simon Wai prototype and then finished up, and some have been created based on magazine pictures and information from interviews with people who worked on Sonic 2.

Sonic 2 Long Version (which is released alongside Sonic 2 & Knuckles Long Version) is a more complete version of Sonic 2, which makes it somewhat similar to Sonic 2 Delta. This hack features four levels originally scrapped during Sonic 2's development. No levels have been changed, only added. This hack was written in hex, without the aid of any special hacking programs, because the creator uses a Mac, and no hacking tools had been released on that platform at the time of development.

Sonic 3 Complete is a hack of Sonic 3 & Knuckles which aims to provide a much improved variant of the original game, with many new options and features, without straying from the original levels or gameplay. The inclusion of separate modes for Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles and Blue Sphere also make this a close cousin of the PC compilation Sonic & Knuckles Collection, albeit designed for the original 16-bit hardware.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Isle of Magnetic Artifacts is a sonic hack made By Neo Team Kyukyokuis a hack which aims to overhaul Sonic 1 using a Japanese-inspired aesthetic. The main feature of this demo is Blossom Gardens Zone, the resting area of the isolated, star-god worshipping Kuratranos tribe.

This new zone can be traversed with three playable characters: Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Knuckles the Echidna. Sonic, in particular, features a set of unique sprites, the dropdash ability, and a new companion: Abbey the Flicky. Abbey can pick up nearby rings and circle potential targets for Sonic, including hidden monitors.Neo Team Kyukyoku MembersAngelKOR64: Character programmingChron D: Music arrangementDeltaWooloo: Level layouts, music arrangement, object ports, programming, sound effectsDaxKatter: Music arrangementDio-ZX: Character art, object artDrag109: Level artfuzzy: Level art, programmingiced t: Level art, object artInferno: Level layoutsInktitious: Level artJerry: Level layoutsKatKuriN: Level artKGL: Level layoutsKurk: Team Leader, level layouts, music arrangement, music compositionManiacShard: Object artNaotoNTP: Object artProjectFM: Creative direction, level art, music arrangement, music composition, programming, story planningRaendom: ProgrammingRivet: Programmingtwo^: Concept artyami: Level layouts, music compositionFormer MembersAmzroSevca: Concept art, story planningGemini0: Former team leader, general art, level layouts, programmingjrm1007: Concepts, object artHaz Rabbit: Concept art, programminglavagaming1: ProgrammingNotQuiteHere: Music arrangementpoly: Logo, music arrangementMr. Gandy: Character artXGSOAP: Character artPlaytestersAccelBladeOfChaosCertainly GlitchyCosmic EternityDaxKatterfengishGGK912Hooded EdgeKCEXEKNIJohnMattyMeara BlanchetteMCTravisYTProfessor RendererPXSleekflash-16Sr ParadoxosoapyyTheInvisibleSunUnusualSeekerResourcesAsuharaMoon: Wind-Up Koi spritesAURORA☆FIELDS: SMPS2ASM and AMPSCartoonsAnimate22: Tails and Knuckles spritesCuckyDev: GHZ ball baseflamewing - Ultra DMA Queue + optimized Kosinski (improved by vladikcomper and MarkeyJester) and Enigma decompression codeLone Devil: Metal Sonic spritesMainMemory: SonLVL and Drop Dash programming guideMarkeyJester: DualPCM and sound testMikel Nash: Sonic 3-style super sonic spritesObserver: Sprite ripsShibaMayo: ShibaSaturn spritessnkenjoi: Flex 2The Eighth Bit: Space Queens MIDITheOneMusaab: Sonic 2: The Alternative Spritestildearrow: FurnaceTeck: Super Mario Land - Ending Theme MIDIvladikcomper - optimized Nemesis decompression codeValleyBell: mid2smps, SMPS Converter, SMPS Research PackVladislavSavvateev: DMF2AMPSAssets From:Capcom no Quiz Tonosama no YabouCave StoryFreedom PlanetHigh Seas HavocMega Man SeriesMichael Jackson's MoonwalkerRistarSangokushi Retsuden: Ransei no EiyuutachiShinobi IIISonic SeriesTouhou Project Series
