Super Sonic Bros 2
About the Game
Super Sonic Bros 2 is a thrilling adventure game that takes place in a retro pixel world, replacing Mario with Sonic as the protagonist.

With exciting challenges and unexpected puzzles, this game will test your skills and keep you entertained for hours. Be prepared to exercise your mind and keep your patience, as you embark on an unforgettable journey with Sonic.
๐ Sonic Inside a Mario Adventure
The foundation of the game comes from Super Mario Bros. 2 for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
That means you will:
- Pick up and throw enemies.
- Pull vegetables from the ground.
- Enter doors and hidden areas.
- Collect coins and items.
- Defeat bosses at the end of worlds.
The level design follows the structure of Super Mario Bros. 2 rather than the speed-focused design seen in classic Sonic games.
๐ฆ What Has Been Modified?
The primary goal of this ROM hack is to place Sonic into a Mario game.
Common changes include:
- Sonic replaces Mario as the playable character.
- Character graphics have been redesigned.
- Sonic-themed visual elements appear throughout the game.
- Original Super Mario Bros. 2 stages remain largely intact.
- Core gameplay mechanics stay the same as the NES release.
The exact content can vary slightly depending on the ROM version that was distributed online.
๐ฎ A Different Type of Sonic Experience
If you know Sonic from games such as:
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2
- Sonic 3 & Knuckles
You will notice a major difference here.
Instead of spin attacks and loop-de-loops, the gameplay focuses on object throwing, platform jumping, and exploration. These mechanics come directly from Super Mario Bros. 2.
