About this Hack
Sonic Classic Heroes is a ROM hack for the Sega Mega Drive that is the result of a collaboration between flamewing and ColinC10, combining their respective hacks Sonic 2 Heroes and Sonic 1 and 2. It therefore is a single ROM that offers the entire campaigns of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, either alone or together; and enables the player to play as many characters such as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. The hack is named due to the ability to control a team of characters, which is reminiscent of the more recent 3D game Sonic Heroes.
The hack is built on Sonic 2’s engine, which has been enhanced by both flamewing and ColinC10 to have new features. These include: multiple gameplay elements from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, such as element shields and character-specific abilities; the ability to save progress, scores, etc. to SRAM (something rarely implemented in Sonic 2, with the other notable example being Esrael’s Sonic 2 Delta); various bug-fixes and improvements to the mechanics of the original games; and many more features, both implemented and planned.
Features

Comments
Since most levels I've already TASed numerous times before. I will just talk about the struggle levels...
SLZ 3 boss was tricky but I got the hang of it with a lucky seesaw bounce...
SCZ 2 was mainly manipulating routes and figuring out if I should peel-out or not
MZ wasn't too bad, although those STUPID SPIKERS... (they kept getting in my way...
DEZ insta-shield helped me very much on the final boss...
Will have encode soon...
Special thanks
Cyan for the previous run
