A Hacker Dropped Yoshi Into Sonic 2, And It's Amazing

I’m not sure what I love more about this newly-released ROM hack that lets you play the Genesis classic Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as Nintendo’s Yoshi. The incredible, detailed sprite work? The fact that the gameplay has been totally overhauled to use Yoshi’s eating-and-pooping mechanic?

“This is a Sonic 2 hack made by Xenowhirl for the Sonic Hacking Contest 2010,” reads the description of a Youtube video that went up yesterday that shows a brief playthrough of some of the game. “It was originally unreleased, but recently surfaced online.”
