'''Sonic SMS Remake''' is a trilogy of {{Fan Remake}}s of the UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem[=/=]UsefulNotes/GameGear ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series of games for Android and PC, made by João Araya. Each installment remakes its equivalent installment in the original series, with the third one combining the last two installments into one, for the modern day whilst retaining and polishing the artstyle of its original counterparts. The trilogy consists of:
* ''Sonic SMS Remake'', which remakes ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog18Bit'';
* ''Sonic SMS Remake 2'', which remakes ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog28Bit'';
* ''Sonic SMS Remake 3 Timelines'', which remakes ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogChaos'' and ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogTripleTrouble''.

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:If you play as Sonic and Tails and have collected all of the Chaos Emeralds, an extra boss can be fought where Super Sonic battles against an escaping Dr. Eggman riding ''Sonic 3''[='=]s Big Arm boss in a Doomsday Zone-style zone. Defeating him after that will unlock Espio and Vector as playable characters in the main campaign.]]

* FinalDeathMode: Encore Mode in ''2'' has this as a gimmick. You can swap between any of the available teams by using a certain Monitor, but if any of them die even once, you lose that pair for the rest of the run.

* HubLevel: For all the zones in ''3 Timelines'', similar to White Space from ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations''.

* ShoutOut: ''3 Timelines'' has its Dimensional Stage take place in a different game than the usually-expected ''Sonic'' game, with Turquoise Hill's Dimensional Stage being an ''[[VideoGame/AlexKidd Alex Kidd in Shinobi World]]'' level. Dimensional Stages based on ''VideoGame/BonanzaBros'', ''VideoGame/EnduroRacer'', ''VideoGame/{{Columns}}'', ''VideoGame/FantasyZone'', ''VideoGame/GainGround'', and ''Alex Kidd in Miarcle World'' are slated to appear as well, according to [[https://sonic-sms-remake.blogspot.com/2023/02/concept-zones-1.html blog]] [[https://sonic-sms-remake.blogspot.com/2023/02/concept-zones-2.html posts]] as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfcMHHZmYI6w9f9uHcnoSHdPBiaxta2k_ a YouTube playlist created by the developer]].

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: Since ''2'''s main plot is reworked to have Dr. Eggman steal the Master Emerald instead of kidnapping Tails in the original, Sonic and Tails' normal[=/=]bad ending is reworked to simply both of them running in the credits sequence, instead of the original bad ending where Sonic runs alone then looks into the sky. Consequently, the good ending sees Super Sonic and Tails carry the Master Emerald in tow, before the camera pans slowly towards two new characters, [[spoiler:Espio and Vector]], and there's even another GoldenEnding that's gained from playing said two new characters and selecting a specific act in the final zone.

** ''2'' replaces Green Hills Zone's spot as the fourth zone with Oil Ocean from the 16-bit version, adds an entirely new zone heavily based off of the credits sequence and the 16-bit version's Sky Chase Zone, and even adds new bosses like Sonic Chaos' Gigapolis Zone Boss, [[spoiler:Triple Trouble's final boss as the FinalBoss in place of the original, and ''Sonic 3'''s Big Arm as the TrueFinalBoss]]. The Master System version's boss music is repurposed as the music for the FinalBoss whilst the game uses the Game Gear version's boss music as the regular one.

** Many gameplay mechanics that have become a staple in later Sonic games, such as the Spin Dash, Super Sonic, shields, and even newer mechanics such as ''VideoGame/SonicMania'''s Drop Dash get implemented into the game, which can help in overall gameplay.

** Beating the TrueFinalBoss (which is only possible if you're playing as Sonic and Tails, as well as having obtained all of the Chaos Emeralds) unlocks a different credits sequence showing the duo running down Time Hill with the Master Emerald in tow, before the camera stops following the two and pans over to two previously unseen characters spying on them… which also means those characters become playable in the main campaign.

* ShoutOut: ''3 Timelines'' has its Dimensional Stage take place in a different game than the usually-expected ''Sonic'' game, with Turquoise Hill's Dimensional Stage being an ''[[VideoGame/AlexKidd Alex Kidd in Shinobi World]]'' level. Dimensional Stages based on ''VideoGame/BonanzaBros'', ''VideoGame/EnduroRacer'', ''VideoGame/{{Columns}}'', ''VideoGame/FantasyZone'', ''VideoGame/GainGround'', and ''Alex Kidd in Miarcle World'' are slated to appear as well.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Due to the change in ''2'''s plot, Tails is spared in the normal/bad ending and is seen running with Sonic during the staff roll.

The games themselves can be downloaded from the [[https://sonic-sms-remake.blogspot.com game's website.]]

** Knuckles, Mighty, and Ray are available as playable characters in ''1''.
** The aforementioned three, as well as Amy Rose, Shadow, and Metal Sonic are playable in ''2''. [[spoiler:Beating the TrueFinalBoss also unlocks Espio and Vector.]]

* TimedMission: Scrap Brain Zone Act 3 is now a timed Act, as you have to reach Dr. Eggman within 1 minute and 30 seconds before you lose a life.

* CheatCode: A list of cheat codes (that're also posted on the game's website for convenience) can be unlocked by pressing the game version text 4 times. ''1'' and ''2'' provide a myriad of cheat codes for things such as adding 15 more lives to your current playthough, unlocking all of the Chaos Emeralds immediately, unlocking the Level Select, etc., whilst ''3 Timelines'' only has one for DebugMode.

** Beating the TrueFinalBoss (which is only possible if you're playing as Sonic and Tails, as well as obtained all of the Chaos Emeralds) unlocks a different credits sequence showing the duo running down Time Hill with the Master Emerald in tow, before the camera stops following the two and pans over to two previously unseen characters spying on them...which also means those characters become playable in the main campaign.
** [[spoiler:Playing as Espio and Vector after beating the TrueFinalBoss and selecting Time Hill Act 1 will lead to Hidden Cave Zone. Reaching the Master Emerald in the zone will lead to a different credits sequence that serves as a SequelHook that ties into ''3 Timelines.'']]

** Oil Ocean Zone uses ''VideoGame/SonicMania'''s Act 2 version for its music, despite the game meant to be more in line with the 16-bit version.

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:If you play as Sonic and Tails and have collected all the Chaos Emeralds, an extra boss can be fought where Super Sonic battles against an escaping Dr. Eggman riding ''Sonic 3'''s Big Arm boss in a Doomsday Zone-style zone. Defeating him after that will unlock Espio and Vector as playable characters in the main campaign.]]

* AdaptationAmalgamation: The remakes don't just do a 1-on-1 remake of the original games - many elements from other adjacent games are merged with it too.

** ''2'' replaces Green Hills Zone's spot as the fourth zone with Oil Ocean from the 16-bit version, adds an entirely new zone heavily based off of the credits sequence and the 16-bit version's Sky Chase Zone, and even adds new bosses like Sonic Chaos' Gigapolis Zone Boss, [[spoiler:Triple Trouble's final boss as the FinalBoss in place of the original, and ''Sonic 3'''s Big Arm as the TrueFinalBoss.]] The Master System version's boss music is repurposed as the music for the FinalBoss whilst the game uses the Game Gear version's boss music as the regular one.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Due to the change in 2's plot, Tails is spared in the normal/bad ending and is seen running with Sonic during the staff roll.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In ''[[VideoGame/SonicMania Sonic Mania Plus]]'', Super Mighty merely glows whilst retaining his original shell color. In the SMS remakes, his shell glows turquoise when super.
