This hack was made back in September 2011, but I have just recently discovered a page for it on the "Info" branch of Sonic Retro. This hack was created by a Sonic Retro Tech Member called MarkeyJester, one of the most renown members of the Sonic Hacking Community, ever. 

This hack only has one, somewhat lengthy level, and it replaces Sonic with a pretty decent purple recolor of him called Pana.

From what I read, fans thought this was just a silly joke hack with a lame Sonic recolor.

What makes this hack stand out a bit are its graphics. They're a huge step up from the original Sonic 1 that this hack is based on. The hedgehog and rings have more sprites for more fluid animation. Most fans took back what they said about it being a joke realizing this.

Its choice of music isn't too shabby, either. One's from Knuckles Chaotix and the other's from Mega Man 8.

In the middle of Mystic Island, Dr. Robotnik appears, not to fight, but to freeze the entire island with a flash. This affects the game as Pana can't break from a run as easily while the ground under him is frozen.

He'll also eventually have to use boulders to cross through water so cold, that it hurts him if he touches it.

At the end, Eggman appears once again, threatening to impale the purple hedgehog with a spike. Just pass under him and he'll shoot the spike downward. As he descends to pick it back up smash him.

He's defeated after more hits than the 8 Sonic 1 originally had. Beating Eggman here beats this hack.

I'm sure it's just a demo, as I feel that it has much more potential than what it already showed. It's great.
