I demand this be in the hack. It is so EPIC. It would be cool if the sprites for Super Sonic were fixed, so he could still get fat, which would slow him down.
You know, Super Sonic wouldn't be able to get fat, his presumably super-high metabolism would evaporate the fat instantly.
I don't think that the real Sonic would start getting fat by eating only 5 onion rings, especially considering he runs so fast. I'm going to bet that Eggman did something bad onto him so now his metabolism is fucked.
I wish I could say something other than reiterating the praise everyone else has given this hack...but I can't. This hack is amazing. Great job, guys.
Oh, man. I just found this. Awesome. What is it with hacks that make rings bad that makes them so much fun? I mean, between this, OMG Red Rings, and Unimpossible, they have the market for awesome rom hacks pretty much secured.
These hacks could be called Difficulty Hacks, in which nothing in the original game is changed (Levels, Characters, or otherwise) except something is added to ramp up the difficulty of the original level. That would fit the bill of these awesome hacks!
In honor of this awesome hack, I've decided to tap into my unrivaled musical talent to come up with a theme song. I call it The Fattest Thing Alive! Both <a href="http://tweaker.sonicretro.org/music/FatAM%20(Auto-Tuned).mp3" target="_blank">auto-tuned</a> and in natural flavor. Here are the lyrics: (Note: I kinda fucked up and said "fastest" instead of "fattest" near the end of the song. My bad! I don't feel like re-recording it.)
Awesome, just awesome. This reminds me of something I always said as I was a child: Sonic the Hedgehog ryhmes to Sonic the Fat Shock, which probably sounds crappy, but for me a fat Sonic is a shock for the eye. Also, I got an idea for upcoming releases: When you jump in the fattest but still moveable status and you land after a jump, the earth shakes (and destroys all ground-based enemies on the screen).
Hm, I ended up morbidly obese on a spring... when that happens, you should have it so the spring breaks when you land back on top of it. :P
