OK, I’ve seen a few bizarre mods and hacks to videogames in my day. Some of these range from funny to weird and ridiculous to just plain awesome. This one for Sonic 2, dubbed “Sonic 2 XL“, actually might cover all of those categories, while smashing a few new ones all its own.
The hack basically puts a new spin on the Sonic franchise: namely, that rings transform our favorite speedy hedgehog into a morbidly obese blob that can’t move, and thus, dies. Like I said, it’s weird but also manages to be hilarious to look at. I laughed out loud at fat Sonic trying to outrun the explosions towards the end of the game.
What do you guys think of this? And what are some of the cooler mods you’ve seen to games? Also, this makes me want to go and play the real Sonic 2 quite badly.
This is hilariously awesome! I love the sequence of Sonic hitting a loop as a skinny hedgehog then finishing it as a rolling ball of fat.
That was awesome! I can’t really think of any hacks off the top of my head. However, I am thinking about a flash game that combined Mario and Tetris… That was pretty sweet.
Thats fantastic!
