Sonic Classic Heroes is an extensive ROM hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 that combines the original game and Sonic the Hedgehog and adds a lot of new features. The main showcase is the ability to choose up to three characters to play the game with and the ability to switch between characters during gameplay. A number of features from Sonic 3 & Knuckles have also been added such as each character having their own unique ability, elemental shields, and the ability to save your progress. Certain bugs that were in the original Sonic 2 have been fixed and certain gameplay mechanics have been improved for a smoother playthrough.
ShiningProdigy9000 and WST together save nearly three minutes of time over the previous run thanks to many new optimized strategies.

Here, mightyrainbow100 saves about 2.3 minutes over the previous 100% run thanks to using faster strategies and routes and the usage of a climbing glitch for Knuckles that the romhackers didn't fix.

WARNING: This run contains flashing lights during the Super Sonic and Hyper Sonic sequences which may not be suitable for those with photosensitivity issues.

For this run, ShiningProdigy9000 decides to play the entire game with "Team Hyper", a team composed of Hyper Sonic and versions of Tails and Knuckles with the power of the Super Emeralds, and beat it even faster than with regular Team Sonic. To do this, a cheat code was used in the menu to access them from the start.

WARNING: The usage of Team Hyper in this run causes flashing and strobing lights that may prove harmful to those with photosensitivity issues.
The baseline tab shows the default movie beating the game as fast as possible without any special conditions.
