Sonic & Johnny is a heavy modification of Sonic the Hedgehog by Lone Devil where the goal is Racing against your Rival for the first Two Acts while fighting New Bosses along the way. Featuring Johnny from Sonic Rush Adventure and New Zones containing plenty of familarity.
STORY: After Robotnik's disatisfaction with his rebellious Metal Sonic, Robotnik and his empire decided to own land, and reclaim all the Chaos Emeralds to mysteriously summon an individual from another dimension who calls himself Johnny. After being sold with Johnny's arrogant skills, Robotnik constructs a deal that would give Johnny the fame and recognition he always wanted by inviting him to his recently funded Atomic Stadium, an small island built for the strongest of racers with a special prize if one of the racers collects all Emeralds.
Sonic gets a report from Knuckles that his Emeralds is missing and later recieved a letter from Robotnik threatening Sonic to join his 1v1 Grand Prix or else one of his friends will remain kidnapped forever. Sonic calls Tails to fly him to the nearest stadium to join the race to beat Robotnik's latest successor to Metal Sonic and find out what's really going on.

best rom hack really fun
Top hack! Uniquely. A lot of work has been done and I like it. It's been a while since your hacks.
Now this one is really fun i like the level design and the art's great too!
Man, some of these times are brutal. Need some serious level select abuse to even get close to finishing this one. Playing zone 3 I thought I'd turned on hard mode on accident. Maybe using level select turns on hard mode automatically? Eh, I'm prolly just bad. All my skill issue-ocity aside, this hack is very well designed and presented, runs well on my actual Genesis, and is certainly a good follow-up to Metal Sonic Rebooted, which has been a favorite of mine for a while. Paragraphs, yay!
welp, at least he expanded outside of metal sonic romhacks, nice.
Liking what I'm seeing so far.
Saw some glithy Game/Time Over screens, but aside of that the stages I've played so far are not bad and can benefit from more polish, but the base is solid. It just needs to be a bit more forgiving for newcomers. The layouts are fine, just tune the time limits a bit more. Or add an Easy Mode where you're not timed, to learn the stages then go on and prove yourself on the harder modes.
Oh, this hack refused to run on BlastEm for me (machine freeze due to VDP write to C0001C without TMSS) until I switched to a non-TMSS VA3 setup. Weird.
Heh, just noticed the coop mode. The Chaotix-esque mode is not exactly my favorite. but it's nice to see someone borrowing stuff from one of the least popular 2D Sonic games. Maybe fully implement the Chaotix chain mode for singleplayer (for example, call your "buddy" with B), and you could be onto something... I know that Johnny is supposed to be Sonic's rival, but unless you can find a friend on the other gamepad, this kinda substracts value.
In the meanwhile I'll put that Easy Mode cheatcode to good use!
I loved it! very challenging your level designer is great

Nevermind, commented on the wrong hack! LMAO!!!
Found a bug in the 1st act of the game. I was standing on the verrry edge of a crumbling polatform, only to clip thru the floor
REMINDER that playing 02,02,04,08 on Options Sound Test with Co-op set to ON enables Easy Mode to disable the estimated timer. I'll consider fixing the timers since they're unintentionally too scrict along with nerfing a few bosses.
2ND REMINDER: Springs can be spindashed over like the Advance series by not having solid walls.

As a European Everdrive user with an unmodded console, eff you too, lol.
But I'll see if it works later, the concept looks interesting anyway.
I downloaded it to play in my super MD emulator and it is not functioning.
Lone Devil does it again.
A good hack, in 2022 so generally perfect
EDIT 10/22/2022:
V1.02 UPDATE is been out now. Easier estinmated timers, bosses, and fixed most bugs, you can only find it in my Youtube channel.
for now, the SHC2022 release is for true gamers only!
