This is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for Genesis. The hack is named after the Sonic Amateur Games Expo (SAGE) and was submitted to the 2010 convention. The hack adds a Time Attack, as well as recording high score, ring total, monitors broken, badniks, and hits taken. Level Select is available on the new world HUB. There are challenges in the forms of full game playthrough and boss attack. In full game playthrough the HUD can be set to global mode showing the overall records during gameplay. During normal gameplay and during challenges pausing the game and pressing A will return the player to the overworld.

Fifty achievements are available by pressing Start on the Overworld. If using a certain emulator available at Sonic Retro the ability to upload results and achievements are available meaning you can compete with other players. Otherwise achievements will be disabled and results will be saved differently.

The hack also supports SonMP3 which enables custom mp3 soundtracks. This can also be found at Sonic Retro.

The patch is in xdelta format due to shifted data resulting in IPS patches containing original code. The ROM should be in BIN format.
