Angelic Mazes background looks odd, though only because it's underwater. Why not try making it look like a mosaic?

Otherwise, this looks very good. The most I would say would be to try and make it more original instead of sticking bits together. Why not try recolouring and rearrainging the art?

Well I am keeping some original art in there. Chromium Base's foreground will remain the same
as in the original.

Hmm, well, I recommend getting some more artwork on Palmtree Hill. If you wish, I shall give you some artwork for a Sonic 2 Hack I was once attempting to do before a virus destroyed my computer. I managed to save this one thing, but I have no need for it now. It's based upon Sonic Drift 2's Emerald Ocean, and I'd love to see it within a hack. The only issue you'd have would be the fact it's based upon Emerald Hill Zone's Deformation.

Palmtree hill reminds me a tad bit too much of Sunny Shores from Sonic Megamix. However this is looking pretty good. I eagerly await more info on this hack.

I would be very interested. Have you got Windows Live Messanger?

Angelic Maze looks like Misty Maze from Megamix.

Wow, very very nice art, imo...

[Blue Emerald]

Wow. This looks like it could be a lot of fun to play. So, here's my two cents on what I've seen thus far:

Radiant Park: This could end up being the best Spring Yard hack ever. I don't think I've seen any other hack drastically change up Spring Yard as much as you have.

Runaway Train Zone: I'm obviously expecting to hear Sunset Park boss music here.

Chromium Base: Again, I don't think I've ever seen Star Light changed as much as this. Another potential winner. Keep this up, man! I'm beginning to anticipate this hack tying with Megamix for best Sonic 1 hack.

Angelic Maze: Reminded me of Misty Maze, but as of recent, I've found outdoor Labyrinth Zone hacks to be very sexy. You know what this could really use? Blue tiles. Maybe you could try out some tiles from Tidal Tempest. Heck, if you used the ice tiles from Ristar, that would be really sexy! In fact, I've never seen a crystal/ice Labyrinth Zone before; if you changed it up that much, I would 100% love it.

Francium Fear: I'm not a fan of the name. I understand what you mean with the name, but I think you need something catchier. Try Fright Factory Zone.

Palmtree Hill: Looks very promising, albeit slightly bland. You said you have MarkeyJester working with you, and that is a major plus, because his Sonic MD hack was downright beautiful. See if you can't get him to lend you some tiles from his Lakeside Garden Zone. That was one of my favorite Green Hill hacks of all time.

I'm certainly keeping my eye on this. Be sure to keep us posted. And, hey, if you ever feel like adding some new Badniks to the game, or maybe even some palette swaps of old Badniks, let me know; I'll cook something up for you.

Aww, damnit, you've seen the idea for my hack, haven't you?

No. Are you really making an ice Labyrinth Zone? That's awesome; I've always wanted to play a Labyrinth Zone like that.
