“Sonic The Hedgehog 2: Archives” is ‘another beta hack’ that seeks to bring back cut content from the game's Prototypes, revitalize the game's concept and release levels and badniks, and fully recreate the early concept of the time-travel story. Along with this hack improves both the prototype content and the final content by adding new animations, badnik and character shots, level art and backgrounds, new music, and more.
Sonic the Hedgehog - the fastest hedgehog on Earth, arrives on Westside Island to relax, but Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik is already raging on the Westside island. Here Sonic meets Miles "Tails" Prower, a two-tailed fox who is well versed in technology and also knows how to fly. This time, Eggman has conceived something more, and, having heard of the rumors of time travel centred around an ancient temple, plans to use time itself to aid in his plans! A new adventure awaits for Sonic and Tails, as they chase Eggman through time to stop his plans to take over the future!

The project reimagines the original West Side Island adventure with a narrative focused on Dr. Robotnik’s "terraformation scheme," which has transformed classic zones into surreal, expanded environments filled with new secrets and branching paths.

A hack which combines Sonic 1 levels, Sonic 2 (final and prototype) levels, Sonic 3 levels, and Sonic and Knuckles levels into one game.
