Mods vs ROM hacks
Mods and ROM hacks are the same thing in my eyes. Why and how these are split doesn't make sense to me. Why is Metal Sonic Hyperdrive a mod while The S Factor is a ROM hack? TarkusAB talk 15:44, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You're right -- I got a bit messy when making this. Merged 'em. JOE  BRO  64  20:26, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Sonic Robo Blast 2
I'm curious as to why Sonic Robo Blast 2, a game which has been in development for almost 20 years now (and is still actively being worked on to this day!) only gets as much as a mention on this page, yet Sonic Dreams Collection gets its own page? 71.9.41.210 (talk) 18:19, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * It depends on the coverage in reliable sources. Robo Blast 2 unfortunately hasn't received as much coverage as Sonic Dreams Collection. JOE BRO  64  18:23, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Suggestions
Hello! (I'm very new to Wikipedia editing, sorry if I make any mistakes) I was going through the listed items and noticed that many fan creations (specifically rom hacks) are not mentioned. I noticed it when I couldn't find Sonic Project Hero anywhere on the page. I'd think that many projects could be pulled from sources such as Sonic Retro, SAGE, and the Sonic Hacking Contest, but many have not. Is there a reason why many of these games haven't been added or has simply no one added them yet? Wintertree Studios (talk) 20:04, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * They need to have a reliable source to be added, because Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Those are not reliable sources. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki  (talk | contribs) 00:17, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Should Sonic Gather Battle Be Included?
This is a question on whether the fan game Sonic Gather Battle should be included; for those who don't know, the game became infamous since it included some digital rights management that would upload your computer's IP address onto the developer's computer if the game is attempted to be hacked (or if the game's name alongside 'hack', 'mod' or 'cheat' is searched into a browser, while also causing the game's anti-hacking system to kick-in). News report by International Business Times - AlexField290 (talk) 10:39, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * (A really late answer; I was about to answer this much earlier, but discarded it because I didn't think it was good.) According to WP:IBTIMES, International Business Times is an unreliable source. Other sources I could find for this fangame are Heavy.com and Goomba Stomp, which don't appear to be highly reputable for claims about how shady this game is in the realm of computer security. Thus, Sonic Gather Battle should not be included in the list unless a highly reliable source is published about it.  ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki  (talk | contribs) 19:42, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the answer. Shadowboxer2005 (talk) 02:23, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Alphabetize the list?
As of now it isn't organized by any particular category. New additions are simply placed below the preceding ones, and it makes the article look sort of haphazard, at least to me. Any thoughts on this potential change? LBWP (talk) 04:35, 10 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I feel like it used to be this way in the past before people just kept adding entries without regard to it. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 05:57, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Sonic fansites
Leaving a note here, since I'm not sure the edit warring IP is checking their talk page: Sonic fansites are generally not seen as reliable/usable sources on Wikipedia. Even Sonic Retro. Don't get me wrong, they're an incredible resource for reading as a fan. I love them. But they're not a usable source on Wikipedia. Sergecross73  msg me  19:03, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
