Released in 2003 by Jamie Bailey and a large swath of Sonic fanbase, Sonic The Hedgehog: Time Attacked is a PC fangame inspired by [[SonicTheHedgehog a certain blue erinaceinae]]. In spite being nearly ten years old, the game is still impressive, thanks in part to its colorful graphics and innovative gameplay.

* MinusWorld: A tiny and (probably) intentional one! One of the hidden coins [[spoiler:in Metal Hell resides in an area that hasn't had the level's art assets applied to it yet.]]

What distinguishes Time Attacked from the competition are the extra objectives to be completed in most stages. Five hidden coins are scattered about in most acts, some of them deviously well-hidden. There is also the unique linking system: Each time you collect a Ring, crack open a Monitor, or bust a Badnik, Sonic builds up one link (which is indicated in the [[HeadsUpDisplay HUD]]). These links can be stacked onto each other, with the ultimate goal of accumulating 100 links in any given level. However, failing to perform any action that grants you a link for more than a little while resets your link counter to zero, so you'd best be on your hedgehog feet. Collecting coins and links unlocks a plethora of extras.

Sonic controls as you'd expect him to: Primary Fire makes him jump, Secondary Fire makes him Spin Dash (holding the button makes Sonic stick onto any available grinding rails and banisters), and the arrow keys make him move about. To progress the story, Sonic must reach the end of each act and defeat bosses.

From the depths of his deep, dark lair, Dr. Robotnik finishes the final touches on his newest creation: A [[TimeMachine time machine]]. Taking the device for a test drive, the mad scientist arrives in Slide City in the recent past and [[spoiler:manages to off both Sonic and Tails]]. Back in the present day, Sonic notices that he's slowly fading away and, seeing Robotnik warp into view, figures that the tubby doctor has something to do with his predicament. Sonic must pursue his target across several technicolor locales and find a way to reverse his condition before he disappears entirely.

** Time Base: SpaceZone, on a giant space station

* ShoutOut: A rather awesome one to a large portion of the online Sonic fandom circa 2003. The sprites that populate Slide City are all fan-made characters.

* MadeOfExplodium: The Badniks that are defeated in this game don't just break down in a puff of smoke. They literally burst towards the screen, often containing really goofy robot eyes in the scattered debris. It gives the game a nice, cheesy 3D effect.

* VillainProtagonist: One of the unlockable rewards is Time Attacked: The Beginning. In this mode, you play a couple of levels as Dr. Robotnik as he discovers and absconds with the time travel technology used in the main story.

* PropRecycling: Surprisingly [[AvertedTrope averted]] for the most part, given that most, if not nearly all, fangames heavily rely on art assets originating from official titles. Aside from enemy, item, and Robotnik spites, nearly all the art is original.

* DarkerAndEdgier: [[spoiler:Robotnik kills Sonic and Tails near the beginning of the story. He begins by dropping a tied-up Tails from a multistory building, and then sics a pair of machine guns on a dumbfounded and distracted Sonic.]]

* SuperDrowningSkills: In full force in Crystal Caverns. Well, what did you expect from a Sonic game?
