"Sonic the Hedgehog: Special Version" is a ROM-Hack of "Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)" for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis created by EditChris. Its concept is similar to the well-known ROM-Hack "Sonic the Hedgehog Megamix", trying to feature new visuals, layouts, character abilities, and music from various games.
Controls (as in a Sega Mega Drive / Genesis controller):
Ⓐ / Ⓑ / Ⓒ = Jump
↓ + Ⓐ / Ⓑ / Ⓒ = Spin Dash - The classic Spin Dash, like in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
↑ + Ⓐ / Ⓑ / Ⓒ = Super Peel Out - Like the one in Sonic CD, but it charges faster.
Ⓐ / Ⓑ (in mid-air) = Homing Attack - As it does in 3D games, Sonic dashes towards the closest enemy or monitor and destroys it.
Ⓒ (in mid-air) = Jump Dash - Like the Homing Attack, but it doesn't dash towards anything being more like a mid-air impulse.
← or → (Depends on the direction you're running) + ↑ = Water Skimming - It allows Sonic to bounce on water.
Overall changes:
- New normal and Special Stage levels.
- New music (different per act).
- Minor edits on bosses (only more hits).
- New color pallets and designs.
- Added "Original Mode", which allows the player to play the original Sonic 1 with some fixes and optimizations, also including Sonic's new abilities.
- Beta testers: SonicVaan, EpicElijahSpeedy, nineko, MarkeyJester.
- Music and Sound Driver: Bobesh8, vladikcomper, ValleyBell, TheBlad768, the SSRG (Sonic Stuff Research Group) forum and the people on its SMPS Music Competition.
- Boot and SEGA screen: vladikcomper.
- Original Mode: vladikcomper and Bobesh8.
- Special Thanks: Lots of people from Sonic Retro, SSRG and the defunct Sonic Game Dimension forum for their tutorials and codes.
- First Internet Archive page of this ROM-Hack: CloudyEgg (Thanks for trying to preserve this!)

I like it but dont get various parts, the boss fo green hill has more health which I dont enjoy, there are spike pits and loops in unnecessary places, and the levels are mostly unfair, I like this but I wish these things I mentioned were gone.
