Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Sega Genesis · 2026

SegaGenesisRecomp's second title, with a widescreen setting.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the second title recompiled by SegaGenesisRecomp, maintained by the core team, announced in the 2026-05-21 write-up. The current release is v0.4.0 (2026-06-17).

What works today

The game runs as statically recompiled 68000 code through the shared runner. At announcement, stages were navigable while boss fights had known issues.

Enhancements

A widescreen setting, using the framework's opt-in 16:9 widescreen injection. Framework-level 2-player split-screen exists for the Sonic family.

No game data is distributed; the project builds from your own legally dumped ROM.
