    Yes, it's Dangerous Seed's ending theme, along with some voice modifications by SOTI.

    You may noticed that with every starpost you touch, the vertical scrolling type changes. To get the "normal" style again (with the bottomless pits) I had to place a starpost just before the end. Besides that, you might noticed that the giant ring shows up, even though you don't have 50 rings. This means, you MUST jump into, rather than going down or else you will die. =P

    I've used many savestates beating this game, the final boss edit is simply amazing!

    A few stuff I did hate were the spikes at the start of ghz, and the fact that the double jump sometimes wont ascend you up, you will just fall down.

    These are intentional, so you always lose the shield you just got. With good timing however, you are able to avoid them. =P

    That's weird, but I think it's just because you can't work with one of my two double jump types:
    • Press Up + any Jump button in the air.
    • Press B while being in the air.
    I added the second method because people just didn't get used to the first method, which I personally perfer.

    I think the real problem is that you are subtracting from the Y velocity rather than setting it to a negative value. Therefore if the velocity is $800 and you subtract $300 it will be set to $500 which is still positive.

    I just tried it out.

    The option to use S2B or S3 sprites is a nice touch. But I think the afterimages may be a bit overdone?

    Also, it's good that Sonic only loses 10 rings at a time! I quite like the idea of difficult hacks (though in reality I just give up quickly :P), but it's a bit unbalanced when Crabmeat is more dangerous than Robotnik. :v: I like the concept of super-tough badniks—ones that actually put up a decent fight, unlike most of the MD games'--but maybe ease off on the bombs. :P

    Speaking of giving up, I couldn't even get past the first Inhuman Mode bit in Ruined Place—and even when I used air-move, I died after only a few rooms. And I wasn't much better at the Special Stage. :flunked:

    In any case, I like seeing new stuff, and there are some good ideas here. I agree that it would be nice to see a bit more direction, but it is a random project after all!

    Okay, it looks like there are two main things people say:

    1: This hack is insane hard.
    2: This hack needs some more direction.

    Now I want to ask you, do you think I really should make some stuff easier and/or give it some direction? I planned to add some kind of story, where the main villian is the buzz bomber you see in the intro cutscene. Would that give the hack more direciton?

    A buzzbomber as the villian could be good. Although, a few improvements should be made on the level layouts, but cheap traps should be good.

    You'd think an evil genius would think on making an unescapeable spike trap waaaay before making a SWINGING BALL WITH A HARMFUL CHAIN (sonic 3D blast, rusty ruin the chain actually hurts you!)

    Once you've done the levels a couple of times, the hardness wares off. For instance, the first level is now a cakewalk, and too short.

    Yeah, this. It's not hard—it's just brutal.

    Things I hated about this hack:
    -Whenever I fall in lava, I cannot get out and I end up losing all of my rings until I'm dead.
    -I hate zone 5 and wish there was some explanation on why Sonic can't go back down.
    -The whole running at the start of every level and check point is annoying as fuck.

    I did enjoy most of the game though and I commend you for having a generous amount of 1ups in zone 4.

    @Amethyst and DalekSam: I'm aware of that, but that also makes me wonder, is this a good or bad thing now?

    - Mind showing me which point excactly? I never had that problem.
    - I pretty much copied the idea of this (Sorry, I couldn't find a better video). The reason is because I really liked that idea, it made stuff harder than it already was.
    - Yeah, I heard that before by couple of people. I'm going to add a function, so by pressing any button during the charging this thing is getting canceled.

    Sorry to reiterate, but seriously, is there a better hack for Sonic 1 besides Megamix? I have played just about every publicly released S1 ROM hack I can get my hands on for the last two years.

    I know a lot of you bastards are holding on to private ROM hacks that probably kick ass, but ERaZor is the craziest and most creative, boundary-pushing shit on here.

    Plus yeah it's hard, but it's easy to cheat. And while we are hacking ROMs we might as well be cheating too :P
