A new demo of the ROM hack that no-one has been asking for is finally here! Sonic the Hackable features new stage layouts, new gimmicks and new moves, including the speed-breaking air dash. Those who dare to revisit South Island will find a new and challenging experience.

This hack is currently still in development. Be in the lookout for new updates in the future.

Crush Dr. Eggman!

After Dr. Eggman's defeat in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, the Death Egg MK II has crashed into the ocean next to South Island. The giant wave created by the Death Egg MK II's collision with the ocean surface has even caused parts of the island to go underwater!

Not long after Dr. Eggman managed to escape to land, he became enraged upon seeing where he was. South Island was the place where his first defeat by the hands of Sonic the Hedgehog had happened, so this island held a particularly bad memory for him. Filled with rage, Dr. Eggman swore that this is the island where he will end Sonic once and for all. Now, by using his past knowledge of the Island and by renovating his old base, Dr, Eggman built his new fortress on South Island.

Dr. Eggman has also planned to use the six chaos emeralds (which Sonic apparently lost, again) as a power source to relaunch the Death Egg MK II. It's once again up to Sonic to stop him!
