4	''[[https://sonicworldfangame.com/ Sonic World]]'' is a rather ambitious FanGame based on the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise. It's halfway between a VideoGameRemake of the ''[[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Adventure]]'' [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 games]] with ''[[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Heroes]]'' thrown in and halfway to being a GameMaker, with a dash ''[[MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover every other aspect of the franchise]]'' thrown in for good measure.

6	''Sonic World'' sought to refine the gameplay of what ''Creator/{{SEGA}}'' calls "the ''Platform/{{Dreamcast}}'' era", with its gameplay being heavily based on the adventure style games. There's no set narrative; instead, the game is a collection of levels, either directly lifted from the official games or reimagined versions of them, with several completely original levels amongst them all as well.
7
8	Players can either choose to go in with a single character or with up to two other partner characters that could be switched between at will, ala ''Heroes''. The cast of characters is also quite extensive; while the main game roster consists of strictly characters from the main series, World's [[https://sonicworldfangame.com/mods/ mod support]] allows for the insertion of characters from practically ''every'' continuity from ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' to ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' and even well beyond. For those worried about GameplayRoulette don't be; all these characters play relatively the same; no [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure fishing mini-games here]].
9
10	In short; ''Sonic World'' is a massive sandbox people could use to make whatever they like, using the ''Dreamcast'' era gameplay.

12	In October 2018, the website was unfortunately shut down and the development team [[https://www.reddit.com/r/SonicTheHedgehog/comments/9rma50/sonic_world_is_cancelled_also_we_need_to_save_the/ announced]] that the development had stopped, due to [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor rumors of Ozcrash, the leader, committing illegal acts]], which are alleged to be related to rape. Though eventually the site was restored, and the game may once more be downloaded in all its versions up to Release 9.
13
14	The remaining team members are currently working on one final release for Sonic World titled ''Sonic World DX'', seeking to address the game's more glaring issues to the best of their ability. The first full release of that was made available on September 1, 2022. The team will afterwards focus on a SpiritualSuccessor in the form of ''Sonic Omniverse''.
15
16	Not to be confused with the overworld in ''VideoGame/SonicJam''.
17	----
18	!!''Sonic World'' provides examples of:
19
20	* FanRemake: In a sense; while it doesn't contain any narrative, the game seeks to refine the gameplay of the Dreamcast era into a more solid experience. To top it off, the game has levels from nearly every Sonic game to choose from as well.
21	* GameMod: [[https://sonicworldfangame.com/mods/ A rather extensive list to choose from]]. Thanks to the ease of access, making a mod for ''Worlds'' is relatively easy, to the point some would refer to this game as a GameMaker in its own right.
22	* GreenHillZone: The game has its own version of the OG, as well as some of its lookalikes.
23	* JokeCharacter: ''The President'' from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' and ''the G.U.N. Commander'' from ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' are included in the roster of playable characters. Since they're no less effective at quickly traversing levels as other characters, however, it becomes as ridiculous to watch in action as it sounds.
24	* LevelAte: One of the game's original stages, Chocolate Pit, is a landfill littered with giant candy bars.
25	* MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover: Characters from practically ''every single Sonic continuity'' are in here. With mod support, you can even add the likes of ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' to the game.
26	* SkyscraperCity: Tokyo Street, an original Treasure Hunting stage.
27	* SuperMode:
28	** Not only does everyone's canon super modes show up in the game, ''every single character'' has their own now, even if they don't in canon (though only Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Silver, and Blaze receive visible model changes as established by the canon).
