Sonic Classic Heroes is an impressive fan-made ROM hack that combines elements from the first three Sonic the Hedgehog games into one cohesive experience with multiplayer capabilities.
Created by a dedicated team of Sonic enthusiasts, this game takes the beloved classic Sonic gameplay and enhances it with team mechanics inspired by Sonic Heroes. The result is a fresh take on the classic 2D Sonic formula that allows players to control Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles simultaneously or switch between them at will.
Unlike the official Sonic Heroes released by Sega in 2003 (which was a 3D game), Sonic Classic Heroes maintains the beloved 2D pixel art style and gameplay of the original Genesis/Mega Drive titles. It features zones from Sonic 1, 2, and 3, carefully redesigned to accommodate the team-based gameplay mechanics.
The game supports both single-player mode, where one player controls all three characters, and multiplayer mode, where up to three players can each control a different character. This cooperative gameplay adds a new dimension to the classic Sonic experience, allowing friends to work together to explore levels, defeat bosses, and collect Chaos Emeralds.
While Sonic Classic Heroes is not an official Sega product, it has gained significant popularity in the Sonic fan community for its polished gameplay, attention to detail, and innovative approach to combining elements from multiple classic Sonic games.
Use the arrow keys for movement: Left and Right to run, Up to look up, and Down to crouch or spin dash (when combined with the jump button). Press Z to jump and X for special actions. For multiplayer, Player 1 uses these controls, while Player 2 uses A/S/D/W for movement and G/H for actions.
In single-player mode, press C to cycle through characters, making Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles the leader. The leader is the character you directly control, while the others follow automatically. Each character has unique abilities: Sonic is fastest with his spin dash, Tails can fly by pressing jump twice, and Knuckles can climb walls and glide.
Press V to change team formations. "Line" formation places characters in a row, "Stack" places them vertically, and "Custom" allows for free movement. Different formations are useful for navigating various obstacles and collecting items in hard-to-reach places.
For multiplayer, press Enter to open the menu, select "Options," then "Controls," and configure the inputs for each player. Up to three players can play simultaneously, each controlling one character. Communication and coordination are key to success in multiplayer mode.
To access Special Stages and collect Chaos Emeralds, finish a level with at least 50 rings and jump into the giant ring at the end. In Special Stages, collect blue spheres while avoiding red ones. Collecting all Chaos Emeralds unlocks Super Sonic, who can be activated by jumping when you have 50+ rings.
Experience classic Sonic gameplay with friends in a cooperative setting. Work together to overcome obstacles, defeat bosses, and collect items in ways not possible in the original games.
Enjoy the familiar pixel art style and gameplay of classic Sonic games while experiencing new team-based mechanics that add depth and variety to the traditional formula.
Access content from Sonic 1, 2, and 3 in a single game, with zones from all three titles reimagined to accommodate team gameplay and multiple characters' abilities.

The levels have been modified to accommodate team-based gameplay and to take advantage of each character's unique abilities, offering new paths and secrets to discover even for veteran Sonic players.
