Sonic 1 Megamix

I think Stage 2 is from Advance (one of them) too, actually...

Yeah... that doesn't actually seem to make it work better as a special stage background.

It's a nice looking background, and it should be used for something, but I think it might be worth doing a new one for SS3 from scratch. Just to make one that would fit in more with the others.

OR, you could probably get away with swapping the backgrounds for SS3 and the result tally.

 

Nice work there, Stephen. Kinda puts me in the mind of Sonic CD, which also had stage specific BG's. The only real nitpick I have with them is that you used a space one on stage 2 (from True Area 53 in SAdv2, I wonder?). Maybe it's just me, but the whole outer space thing seems like a final level deal. I personally think it'd be cooler on stage 6. Still though, good job!

I'd also agree with the other about stage 3, but by now the point's been established.

 

Sweet work Stephen albeit be not a 'special' stage anymore, lol


For the "Suggestions would be nice for Shadow's ability (make it sensible :P)" Tweaker asked for:

Is there a way of 'transporting' a character to the nearest ledge [Making Shadow's ability Chaos Control, which could take up about 50 rings each time], possibly including through solid 'rock'? You might have to put some kind of boundary box around certain areas so it's not too easy.


Can't wait for Sonic 2 Megamix :D

 

As always, your work astounds me. The special stage is usually forgotten in terms of new art in many of Sonic 1 hacks I've seen, and now, the background has been enhanced. All I can say is I'm impressed.

 

I like Sonic 1 Megamix (for me, this hack is best :worship: )
I can't wait for Sonic 3 and Knuckles, because for me is this best sonic game :P

 

You will have to wait a while for Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Hacking that game has proved very difficult. Them backgrounds are fantastic Stephen, I take it you are still helping out with Megamix then? its also good to see Megamix is evolving and changing. I completed V3.0 the other night on a PSP and its great!!!

 

For the record, there already IS a sonic 2 megamix and s3k megamix, though its quality doesn't come anywhere close to the quality of S1MM.

Yeah, it's true. Though, there is one thing that caught my eye in S3K Megamix, which was Sandopolis act 1's colors. I don't know why, But I absolutely love it. Certainly, it's among one of the most original coloring schemes I've seen. Also, I was greatly let down by the lack of a Sonic 3 Final Boss remix. ..Anyways, like Puto said, it doesn't come anywhere near what Sonic 1 megamix has become.. But still, S2/S3k Megamix both do have their moments.

 

Hacking S3 to the same extent as S1 megamix will be a lot harder to do as it's much more complex and the rom is chucked full already.

 

Wow, I didnt know that those hacks of S2M and S3aKM was already released, I must test them now. Btw. I think that space background for Special stage for S1M is best, u can see everything, but special stage 3 is chaotic and bad for orientation. If I can help u with anything about S1M, tell me. I can help with betatest, sometimes with making of graphic. I have a bit of experience with making new levels in my project of sonic 2, but there were a lot of bugs like u can go trough wall. and when I wanted to place any object, it has a picture of question mark and I never know what object was that :P So if u need some help, u can contact me on icq 253-530-058
Sorry for my bad english :P
Edit: I played SaK3M and I think that its not bad, jsut make new levels and it will be perfect. I think that Hydrocity should not have gray scale of colours. it should be more coloured, but I think its good. I know how hard is to make nnew hack of S3aK. It is full of background changing, scenese, spcial animations etc. But there is something strange I mean that music. I think that I have already heard it in the other game. especialy MGZ and HZ :P those songs are nice from where is that music?

 

They're from Sonic 3D.

 

I do not think there should be a Sonic 2 Megamix per se. I think it should be more like Sonic Megamix 2. A massive overhaul of Sonic 1 Megamix, like what was done with Sonic 2 itself. This might be too much to ask, but it would be cool.

 

What? Then there wouldn't be any megamixing at all, it'll just be a megamix of a megamix.

 

I'd just like to point out that we're already on Sonic Megamix 3. And there is a 4 planned.

 

By Megamix 4, We're expecting to have the entire cast in as playable characters as well as the entire Street Fighter II cast. It will no longer be on the SEGA Genesis, but on the much more powerful SEGA Master System.

 

So, you've got Tails in. His Tails Slash is very impressive, and it seems you added his super form as well. I really like the signpost at the end as well. Excellent work.

Edit: His "Tails" text at the end is good as well.

 

Lol, the comments say Chimpo PHAILS.
