The same way you would go about making any game. You could program it from scratch, steal the engine off of some open source game, or if you're painfully cheap you could get one of those gamemaking programs.

This post explains The answer to that question as well. Read it over a few times.

Or, alternatively, using a game making program, steal the engine off an open source game and program the rest in from scratch.

Because its going to be sonics new form which I prefer. I should've said that it's supposed sonics new form not just plain old sonic. (DarkSpine Sonic if you haven't seen him look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vZhE3u0Zwk

So why did you recolor those sprites that he won't need?

This won't be easy no matter what you use.

Learn C, or another real programming language, that's the best way to do a fangame.
I recommend Allegro (http://alleg.sf.net) for your gaming library needs.

It would take a very long time to just create an entirely new spritesheet. I would rather just do my own custom recolor of DarkSpine Sonic than create a whole new spritesheet.
