This is a very pretty Sonic 1 hack that features a new modern design for Sonic, different colour palette for all levels, badniks with a graphic makeover, Sonic CD camera style, spin dash and much more!

Today, Sonic colour hacks are often looked at as very lame and generally receive negative criticism from the Retro Sonic community as the public has grown tired of these simple colour makeovers, the community wants to see more technical feats of amazement, but this hack that came out in 2020 is a very rare exception as it is not only a beautiful colour hack but it adds other little details not seen or used in the original Sonic 1 such as:

• All levels have a different colour palette and look gorgeous!
• Spring Yard Zone has some new art in the background.
• Sonic’s sprite is more modern looking.
• New fonts for the title cards.
• Features the Sonic CD style camera allowing you to see more on screen.
• Has the spin dash, but it’s the Sonic CD spindash.
• Item boxes are now containers.
• All badniks have been redrawn and changed.
• The cheat code on the title screen takes you to a Sonic 2 style level select screen.

NOTES: 

When inputting the cheat code on the title screen, if the game halts to an endless black screen, just press button C on your controller and the level select will show up.

From Adrian: ”Adding renewed interest in these old Sonic hacks is my thing and it’s good to recycle them and upload on other ROM hack sites like RomHack Plaza here incase someone missed them the first time round. I want to give these authors as much recognition as possible”.
