Sonic 1 - Emerald Safari

Sonic 1 - Emerald Safari Apr. 13th 2023 BillyTime! Games

This patch is a gameplay overhaul for Sonic The Hedgehog which gives each Chaos Emerald unique abilities that stack.

A simple save function has also been implemented.

How it Works:

Each emerald you obtain from bonus stages will give the player new abilities.

These abilities are as follows: First Emerald Player 1 Gets one extra hit point per life before losing rings. (Does not stack with shields) Second Emerald Special stages are now always open regardless of ring count. Third Emerald Player 1 now has faster acceleration. Fourth Emerald Player 1 can stay underwater for extremely long periods of time. Fifth Emerald Player 1 now earns double rings in normal stages. Sixth Emerald Player 1 can now jump higher.

Extra Modifications:

*Spindash added *Spike bug fixed *Speed cap bug fixed

SRAM:

Saving: Game saves at each title card screen transition.

Loading: At The Title Screen, Hold B and Press Start.

Game Saves: Current Level and Act Current Emerald Count

NOTE: *Game will restart if no prior game save is detected. This is intentional as a checksum system in place. *Game does not save on Green Hill Zone Act 1 to prevent accidental save overwrites.
