Sonic Boom on segaMD

Introduction: Sonic Boom is a fan-made ROM hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive by the SÆGA team. It is built around a heavily customized stage called Power Plant Zone rather than a full Sonic & Knuckles campaign. The project is notable for its custom graphics, music, objects, and experimental presentation.

Gameplay & Mechanics: Sonic is the playable character, using Sonic 2-style momentum, jumping, rolling, and Spin Dash movement. The main attraction is Power Plant Zone, whose acts use custom layouts and hazards instead of simply rearranging the original Sonic 2 zones.

Key Features:

• A custom Power Plant Zone built on the Sonic 2 engine.
• New graphics, objects, palettes, and music created specifically for the hack.
• Classic Sonic 2 movement used in an original, fan-designed stage.

Sonic Boom is therefore a Sonic 2-based showcase hack, not a Sonic & Knuckles modification with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.
