Like the final game, Sonic can pick up Tails and throw him up to make it easier to reach higher platforms. The game stars Sonic and Tails, held together by Combi rings as seen in Chaotix. Sonic Crackers is composed of different game engines swapped out using RAM coding.
Its name comes from the peculiar ASCII-art title screen that looks like it was thrown together in 5 minutes. Sonic Crackers (referred to as ' Sonic Studium' in the ROM header) is a very early prototype build of Knuckles' Chaotix.
