Think you’ve seen all the Sonic the Hedgehog has to offer on the Sega Mega Drive? Well, hold onto your golden rings, because Sonic Maxidrive is here to blow your retro-loving mind! 🌀 This is a seriously cool - and seriously underrated - version of Sonic you may have never come across, and we're running it in all its speedy glory on the MiSTer FPGA.

In this video, we explore Sonic Maxidrive with live commentary, digging into what makes this version so special. Unique level design, new twists on classic mechanics, and that sweet, sweet 16-bit nostalgia. Whether it’s a fan hack, an unreleased gem, or a forgotten experiment by someone who clearly gets what makes Sonic fun, it’s definitely worth your time.

The MiSTer FPGA keeps everything pixel-perfect and super authentic, so you’re seeing this the way it should be played—no emulation lag, no nonsense.

If you're into Sonic, the Sega Megadrive, retro platformers, or just discovering strange and awesome versions of your favorite games, this one's for you. Also: expect speed, rings, loop-de-loops, and the occasional “Wait, what just happened?!”
