Here I'll be listing my ten favorite Sonic hacks. Please, check out some of them, because they're really good.
Please note that this is my opinion, so don't hate me just because I forgot your favorite hack.
Play Sonic 4 - Cybernetic Outbreak online with Sega 32X browser emulation for free! Sonic 4 - Cybernetic Outbreak is a rom hack of Knuckles' Chaotix (32X). Play it with our flash, java and rgr plugin emulators. Nothing to configure, we've done it for you!
And also, I know it got pretty long, but read all of it, or just plain skip to the first place because PWEEEASE.
10 - Sonic 2: Adventure Edition
A key mapping hack that shows how Sonic 2 would be with Sonic Adventure/Sonic Heroes-like controls. Now, you can do the Homing Attack pressing the Jump button in mid-air, and the Spindash can only be executed with the B button. Also, you can cancel the Spindash by pressing B while spinning. Aaaand it has a nicer HUD and a new mode.

9 - Sonic 3 & Knuckles: The Challenges
It's basically S3K. There are no gameplay modifications. Just that it is a kind of challenge mode, where you must finish a level but filling certain requests. Like completing a level in a certain amount of time, bringing a high amount of rings, or my favorite challenge, the Sidekick, where you are Tails and you must follow Sonic without getting out of the screen. Remember how you mocked him for having such a dumb AI? Now it's your turn to see how it feels like to be Tails.

8 - Vector in Sonic 1
Just as the name says, it's Vector the Crocodile in Sonic 1. Now, to be honest, this hack is just here because it makes me have a much better time at Marble Zone. I hate that Zone.

7 - Sonic 1: The Ring Ride 4
It's kinda like Bouncy Edition, but better. Now, I could have put any of the Ring Ride titles here, but this one just seems to shine much more, I mean, it actually gives you some advantages! The more rings you collect, the more bouncy the ground gets. And you can hold the jump button to bounce even higher!

6 - Sonic 1: Brother Trouble
Remember Sonic Underground? The 2nd worst Sonic cartoon only losing to AOSTH? Well, remember Manic? He's here. It's a level, moves and HUD hack that pretty much looks like an official game because of the quality. Sadly it's not complete and probably never will be...

NOW we're getting into the really good stuff. It's obligatory to download and play them.
5 - Sonic 1 Open Source Project
As the name implies, it's an open source project, which means that as long as you're better at Sonic hacking than me, you can modify it at your will. But the available stuff is already pretty good. I mean, Sonic now has over five custom moves. Not to mention the weird but fun level design.

4 - Mobius Evolution
One of the greatest Sonic hacks around. It has great level design, new gimmicks, and Megaman songs. Everything good Sonic hacks have. But this one goes even further, and has SUPAH SAIYAN BLUE SONIC. Yeah, I know it's Semi-Super Sonic, but the resemblances to the SSB are obvious.

3 - Sonic 4: Cybernetic Outbreak
A wonderful Sonic hack. New sprites, new songs, new bosses, new EVERYTHING! Just a shame it's so small. I mean, it's practically six boss battles, some running and cutscenes in-between them, and the game is over. It had so much potential to be a good hack, but it's still fun to retry the boss battles millions of times becaus DAYUM is it hard.

2 - SonicMT.bin
It ain't got much new stuff, but something in this hack is just so appealing. It's practically Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles packed in one game. (I mean, I don't know if that's right, 'cause I haven't beaten Sonic 1 mode yet, but that's what I heard), with two small additions: 1 -There are Minibosses between the penultimate and last acts of a zone. And 2 - you enter a shop in-between levels where you can use your score or real life money to buy new features, like new music, tips, extra lives, and even characters in which you can morph into by pressing A once you have bought them.

Now, before the best Sonic hack EVAR, here are some honorable mentions:
Sonic 1 Megamix
Everyone knows this hack, and it's one of the oldest hacks around, even gaining a cartridge copy. Now, as I said before, everyone knows this hack, and I don't like popular stuff. But I still admit this hack IS worth a try.

Sonia and Silver: The S Factor
Also known as the most overrated hack ever. Or even as Sonia and Silver: The Ass Factor. Again, another popular hack, but, something I didn't get, why did they lock Scourge in the latest versions? He was playable in earlier betas.

Metal Sonic Hyperdrive
Now, this one would totally be on the list if I didn't remember about it right after writing all the way to the second place. It's really great. Go check it out.

And now, to the best Sonic hack EVAR...
1 - Sonic 2: Return of Shadow
The biggest reason for my inner sadness. This is one of the most well-worked hacks of all time. The creators put so much effort into it they even added the trick system from Sonic Advance 2! Every character has at least one new special move. Sonic has the Insta-Shield from Sonic 3 & Knux, the Banana Peel-Out from Sonic CD (a.k.a the Sonic game with great soundtrack and gameplay with levels made by retarded two-to-five years-old kids. Especially Collision Chaos Zone) and a new move called the Ground Pound, in which he rushes downwards on a incredible speed and then (in case you are holding a direction) lands while Spindashing and then jumps again. Tails has his aerials arm cannon attack from Sonic Battle. Knuckles can dive when gliding and can also search for items hidden in the walls and in the floor. AND we've got a new character, Shadow! Playing as him is basically the reason for this hack to exist. He has the biggest moveset and gameplay differences, as all of the shield/cap monitors are replaced by Ammo boxes. So does that make the game harder? He can punch, kick, hover, shoot AAAND use Chaos Energy to become invincible and attract nearby rings. Now, a fun fact about this game. There is no way to get all the Chaos Emeralds, but if you use the Sonic 2 Debug Mode to place a S Monitor and jump on it, you can see there is a complete Super form for all the four characters in the game. Now, after all this blabbering, do you remember what I said? That this game the biggest reason for my inner sadness? That is because the hack has been discontinued, and it's first and last version was released in 2015. It's depressing to see that such a lovely and complete project that had so many possibilities to be a success was ended. Now, if you are a Team Oh Jeez member and you are reading this, tell me what you need, is it motivation? Money? Or help with the game? I CAN GIVE YOU ALL OF THAT, JUST PLEASE CONTINUE THIS FOR THE LOVE OF SHREK
