Thanks, Gamer365!
Sonic 1 & 2 was made by ColinC10 for the "Sonic the Hedgehog Hacking Contest 2010". It was later thought that ColinC10 and flamewing, the creator of "Sonic 2 Heroes", they did, and Sonic Classic Heroes was made. Enough of that, I'm going to the hack.
Features
-A full game of Sonic 1 and 2 starts in Green Hill Zone and ends as Sonic or Tails destroys and escapes from Death Egg Zone.
-Sonic 1’s Final Zone has been renamed to a second 3rd act of Scrap Brain (even though it is listed as Act 4 in Level Select) as it is obviously no longer the final zone. A normal act ending has been added to Final Zone just as if was any other zone. No ending is shown for Sonic 1; gameplay proceeds immediately to Emerald Hill Zone as though this battle with Robotnik were simply a normal boss battle.
-The Special Stages from Sonic 1 are available (assuming, as normal, that Sonic has at least 50 rings) through Giant Rings at the end of every non-boss Act, now including those of Sonic 2, until Sonic has collected each of their six Chaos Emeralds. Conversely, Star Post checkpoints in the Sonic 1 levels have been changed to those from Sonic 2, enabling the entry of Sonic 2’s Special Stages from levels of either game (again, assuming 50+ rings). The player needs all six Sonic 1 emeralds and all seven Sonic 2 emeralds to become Super Sonic.
-Progress is automatically saved to SRAM. It is possible to enable/disable this, or start a new game, from the options menu. Said menu also now enables the player to resume from the latest-accessed act with a different selection of character(s).
-It is possible to return to the title screen by pausing the game and pressing A.
-The Level Select screen can be accessed by holding A at the title screen.
-Arena Mode: Attempt to increase your rank by completing time attack challenges. Higher ranks mean harder levels and shorter time limits.

Limitations
-If both Sonic and Tails are on screen, and there are a large number of objects active, the framerate can drop somewhat. This is most noticeable in Sonic 1 levels, which is to be expected as the original game did not make any consideration of Tails and the consequent increased number of sprites.
-ColinC10 had to implement a lot of trickery to circumvent palette limitations, so some slight differences from the original games may be noticeable.
Thanks again, Sonic Retro!
In all, this is a Sonic 2 Hack with a Sonic the Hedgehog Level Pack and save function. Thank you for reading, and enjoy!
