Play Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (World) (Rev A) [Hack by Esrael v01.0a] (~Sonic 2 Delta II) Online

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was originally released by Sega for the Genesis in 1992, and this particular version, Sonic 2 Delta II by Esrael, is a hack that refines the original experience. It belongs to that era of fast, colorful platformers that defined the 16-bit generation, building on the foundation of its predecessor with expanded levels and a second playable character.

You control Sonic, often accompanied by Tails, as you run through vibrant zones, jump on enemies, and gather rings while racing to defeat Dr. Robotnik. The game introduces the spin dash for quick acceleration, allows Tails to fly and swim independently, and emphasizes multi-path level design that rewards exploration. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty feels more balanced than in the original, with tweaks that make moment-to-moment movement and combat smoother. It captures the thrill of high-speed platforming without some of the older frustrations.
