	p #[b: a(href="https://www.srb2.org/"): i Sonic Robo Blast 2] is an open-source fan game based on a heavily, #[em heavily] modified version of #[i Doom]. In slow but steady development since 1998, it predates even the franchise’s own official leap into #[+sc("3D")] and i dare say (probably uncontroversially) that it far surpasses some of Sonic Team’s own latter-day releases.#[+sn(1)]

		p 2006 was a dark year. (Though, as always, #[a(href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCD5aQLlCD4") the fans are] #[a(href="https://gamebanana.com/mods/442775") working on it].)
	p Like every #[i Sonic] game, good or bad, it also comes with a banging soundtrack. Check out #[a(href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMhEzgl8QSw") Techno Hill Zone Act 2] or #[a(href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNlMeHwpHzU") Arid Canyon Zone Act 1].

				div.mod-cite by Lat’
			div.mod-description
				p The bestest boy in canon finally gets to be playable in a game that’s actually fun. The mechanics may take a while to get the hang of, but when you do, they completely change the game in boss battles.

			div.mod-description
				p Do you like to go fast? Like doing cool tricks on springs? Then this is the mod for you.

				div.mod-cite by Inazuma
			div.mod-description
				p Straight from #[i Sonic Rush]#[+sn(2)], these two mix incredible speed with unparalleled control, their movesets fitting into the vanilla game like a glove. Probably my favourite characters of all to play.

			div.mod-description
				p Now you, too, can teleport around the game as the living embodiment of a Hot Topic! Plus, don’t tell anyone, but both this mod and the two characters above secretly let you summon #[em hilariously] janky vehicles to ride around in once you collect all the Chaos Emeralds. 10/10.

				p I’ve only known about Tangle for five minutes, but if anything happened to her, i would kill everyone in this room and then myself. This mod really makes you #[em feel] like Spider-Man™.

			div.mod-description
				p Every so often, some modders will get together and make a massive pack of custom levels for your perusal. I like this one best because the hub world is a themed shopping centre, with little stores for every map.
